Orientation Week (Breakbattle Academy #0.5) by Ruby Vincent - Starting September 1st, 2020

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Welcome to Breakbattle Academy.

The first school of its kind where survival of the fittest is not a saying, it's your reality.

Ruled by those who are elite in name, beauty, and cunning; Breakbattle takes the war of the classes to a whole new level.

The next four years of my life will be a fight the likes of which I can't yet comprehend, but first I have to survive orientation week.

The Elite Class has plans for me. They will test me until I break, but there is nowhere for me to run.

Secrets and lies lurk beneath the made-up facade, and I don't mean Breakbattle.

I mean me.

There is something that I have to do. There is someone that I'm after. He doesn't know that I'm coming. He doesn't know who I am. But nothing will stop me from seeing my plans through.

Not my family. Not the Elite Class. Not the pesky fact that I'm a girl.

Breakbattle's all-boys campus is getting a new student. Don't call me Zela.

Call me Zeke.


Orientation Week is a reverse harem high school bully romance. This is the prequel and features language, dark themes, and sexual scenes. If you're cool with that, dive in!

Jumping in on this, I saw it in the Buddy Reads and it looked good so I immediately went and got it on Kindle Unlimited haha!

Wow, I like really really want to know why Zela doing all this. Author is being very tantalizing. I hope it's revealed before the end of this book, but I know its the "prequel". Also, Adam is being suspiciously nice....if I've learned one thing in my forays into bully romance reverse harems....never trust the nice guy. I'm calling BS. (hide spoiler)]

[Michelle Buvoir d'Encre]

Well, this book is my day now.

Oh my gosh, I've actually lost count of how many cute guys there are. It's at least 7 but I may have missed one. (crying tears of joy)
I'm just so concerned about Zela's motivations...what happened?? It sounds really really bad but I can't figure out how it'd be connected to the school... I'm also still suspicious of Adam. I have trust issues, I know. (hide spoiler)]

I have a feeling I was THIS close to figuring out what the reason behind all this was. But nope. She's got something to DO there. I don't know if it has anything to do with her dad going there...
Anyone else feel a little cheated that she's also apparently good at sports as well? I mean sure she needs training but what is this natural talent? Can I get some of that please? (hide spoiler)]

Welcome Michelle! Hope you’re enjoying the book, I’m undecided at this point lol...

32% (view spoiler)[I don’t like being in the dark on her reasoning for needing to attend and make the E class. Love that math s her thing. Can’t wait for her showing more of these guys up. Though I think she’s highly understating her capability to go undercover, (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

42% (view spoiler)[Wait wait wait, did she really just run out of there crying over that, smh, she is so underprepared (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[You’re right lol she’s finding everyone hotter than the guy before. I Have zero clue who her future guys will end up being or how many there will be 🤷🏼‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

I know!! I had to set the book down, take a deep breath and was like "what are you doing, you've got stuff to do, you need to get a grip!"

[Michelle Buvoir d'Encre]

100% - completed

(view spoiler)[ I don't know why the ending was a shock, it's the only one that makes sense for her to be bullied in the next book! But I genuinely upset.
But during the entire "Dead classmate" scene I was mentally screaming "It's a trick! It's just a trick! Calm down!! You're ruining everything!!" She was SO CLOSE to being in E class... I really wanted that for her!
But apparently...that's not important for "The Plan". Apparently it's fine because HE now trusts her. But WHY?
On to the next book!!!

Lol I put it down and went to sleep, that part just really made me mad considering that was her first test and she totally failed!!!!

Oh maaaaan, can't spoil anything but you gotta pull through! The very last page makes it all clear why she acted so weird!

I was hoping to get some reading done this morning but I've been a little busier than expected. Should get it done sometime today though so I can start book #1, don't want to get too far behind this month lol Hope she grows more backbone :P

79% (view spoiler)[Wait what the heck just happened?????????? (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finished (view spoiler)[Yeah I'm totally intrigued now. Why the hell does she want to get at Derek, what's the connection??? And what's with these memories and voices in her head? I knew the pranks would be worse than she expected but I didn't see them trying to get members to hide a murder, I mean that's just a whole other level of F'd up (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I was actually shocked by how non athletic she was. With all the traveling and free time I'd think she'd need some sort of outlet like running or something. I did love how she went into each sport battle like a math problem, that was very interesting. (hide spoiler)]

That WAS really cool. It was very Sherlock.

Jumping in!

(view spoiler)[ I'm getting MAJOR Disney movie vibes with the Amanda Bynes wannabe, but they have duels instead of exclusively playing soccer LOL. (hide spoiler)]

[Autumn]

62%
(view spoiler)[ The trials are interesting. There's so many characters that it's hard to keep track of. But I am really liking the plot right now. I forgot the girls name from the party that Adam likes but I feel she is crushing on Zela. (hide spoiler)]

[Autumn]

88%
(view spoiler)[ I don't know how people don't notice Zela's true identity. Probably everyone around them thinks she's gay because of her hugging Michael and drooling over Derek. (hide spoiler)]

[Autumn]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ So she previously knows Derek?! Is this revenge? Sad she is in F class but this is so weird. Everything is so vague. I need to know more. This feels like Princess Ballot all over again Mummy lol (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I felt the SAME. Like why brings all these people to see a dead dude?! It had to be a test. I'm wondering how Zela will climb through the ranks and everything. And what's with Derek!?! I need to know more. (hide spoiler)]

[Autumn]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah you would've thought she had some type of athletic ability with all the traveling. I feel like she is lying and is all 'prepared' to do something, but I don't know what that something is yet. (hide spoiler)]

I had the same comparison (view spoiler)[Didn’t last long though 😂 (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It’s funny because as the series goes on, I finally got a handle on who was who but of course couldn’t remember who did or said what in this book that starts it all lol Maybe your memory will be better than mine 🤷🏼‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

27%

(view spoiler)[ Okay this has started out okay. I'm interested to find out where this goes. I like the idea of the school and how it's ran. I can't wait to see it in action. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

48%

(view spoiler)[ I can't see her getting out of swimming for long, hows she going to get around that one? So there is an elite class and an elite club. Sounds like one of those schools with a lot of secret that maybe not even the staff know about. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

78%

(view spoiler)[ Okay what was that little freak out all about? (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Well she was doing so well but she dropped the ball at the last moment. I'm hoping we find out all the secrets as I want to know why she's really there. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I think she hasn't thought the whole thing through. It was more of I have an idea lets run with it. I like that shes good at maths but this is making out like she's genius level. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ yeah I'm disappointed that we don't really know why she's there and what this revenge is. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah but with these secret society they do want loyal members who will help you bury bodies rather then go running to the cops. She should have known that considering she's so smart. ,/spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I was thinking that there were lots of people to remember and the girls really liked Zeke I wonder if that will cause some problems. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Autumn wrote: "88%

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I don't like the way this is never really addressed. It's like when she ran out crying know one said anything about it, now I'm no oy but I know that they would jump on that. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Autumn wrote: "Finished

Yeah it's similar to Princess Ballot.

[spoilers removed]"

That’s a good point. (view spoiler)[Gotta admit though how horrible a test that is, I mean I imagine I wouldn’t be so easily swayed to hide a murder even to join some elite club. Plus no offense to the heroine but she’s a bit dense 😂 (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

She is and I don't think I would do it either but for the club it does make sense.
