Bound (Evergreen Academy #3) by Ruby Vincent - Starting June 8th

[Danique]

Five people bound by the most terrible secret... and something else.
I never thought I could forgive them. I didn't believe there was still a heart inside of me that could forgive. But my boys, my knights, were taking down my walls and claiming a piece for themselves.

All I wanted was to lock our secret away and enter junior year as though the past never happened...

...but someone won't let me.

Someone knows what we did and the price for their silence may be more than I can give.

The game will only grow more vicious until lines are drawn in the battle for who truly rules Evergreen Academy.

Bound is a reverse harem high school bully romance with a sweet tinge of mystery. This is book three in the series and features language, dark themes, and sexual scenes. If you're cool with that, dive in!

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ Damn I can’t wait. I. Can’t. Bloody. Wait. The 12 labors of the knights? Damn I can’t wait what they come up with, they’re going to do some groveling for sure. I love how her mother treated Ezra, I’m still laughing way too hard. I also can’t believe he’d just tell her immediately after meeting her for the first time, lol!!
I’m expecting more smut in this one, because it was the same for Breakbattle academy, and I’m definitely ready for it xD (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Why don’t I trust Kai..? He’s either the bad guy or he’ll die lol. The guys are definitely going to be jealous of him ehehehe. I’m willing to bet that Markham is another Spade.
But they lifted her ban!!! Yay, I love the boys :))) I was very surprised to find out that it was simply Ryder’s mother behind all the help (meaning the hacker and bodyguard), I thought she was in some weird gang stuff for sure 😂😂😂😂 (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ I mean, Ace? That must be one of the diamonds right? Since they ace at everything. That’s a very easy thing if that’s true, so I’m hoping it’s not. It’s definitely trouble argh, she better just tell the boys anyway... (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

81%
(view spoiler)[ I’m glad the boys and Sofia kinda know about Ace, and I’m really glad Sofia called her out like that lol😂😂😂 I agree with her so bad, why on earth would you think Ace would reveal themselves😂😂😂 I no longer think Kai is bad, I really like him, so that probably means he’ll die..? He’s the only character (that isn’t a big main character) that I would care about dying.. I’m scared ieh!! I’m still on one of the Diamonds being Ace, but that’s such an obvious choice. I feel like Makham is a spade, but with the way she felt bad about that guy dying a long time ago, it can’t be her right? Confused man, confused. (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ YES GUYS TELL THEM HOW IT’S DONE!!! I love how they finally stood up for her like that, take that diamond bitches!!! And Sofia punched Natalie, damn I love that girl ehehehe!
But Ezra told everyone he was the one in the photo; which means Ace will hear and she’ll be in biiiiiig trouble (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Holy shit, I didn’t expect them to get marked!!!!! But besides that, I’m so glad she didn’t strip for the school & she was so smart about the phone box thing! Damn. I can’t wait to find out who it is, since it apparently can’t be the diamonds?? Maybe erik because his whole family has been a knight and he wasn’t; so maybe he’s a spade instead? Doll I have no clue whatsoever. Unless it’s Makham or Scarlett is somehow back from the dead but that would be definite bullshit. I’m also waiting for Neomi to make a comeback, but if she’s a spade, I’ll be mad because that doesn’t make sense either. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

53% (view spoiler)[She’s really gonna cave to this texting threat? This is so dumb, that lady basically jumped off the cliff, who cares of ppl see it. Let the truth be known damnit, this is dumb and annoying. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

78% (view spoiler)[I hate this stupid nonsense with Ace. I’d prefer more one on one fights between Isabella than this faceless enemy. I’m not sure who it could be but I’m over it lol. Also wtf, she’s sleeping with some of them now and still hasn’t told them her whole truth. I couldn’t forgive them let alone sleep with them without letting them know why what they did was even worse than they now think. They still need some severe groveling, she got short changed with only three favors lol. And again wtf, who cares about this video. They’d get a slap on the wrist since it’s clear she was threatening them and then umm, jumped off the cliff on her own steam. Like I’m not understanding why this video is so dangerous....? (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finished (view spoiler)[Wow the most dull and IMO anticlimactic end and yet for me it’s the best one lol. Even after all they’ve been through, my darkside likes that they are now marked too. Doubt ppl will be as mean but still, how the tables have turned. 😈😈 As for Valentina, I really still think she needs to come clean about her past. About who Adam is and what happened to her.
At least at this point after guessing so many things I’m just not sure who this Ace person is or the Spades. I literally just feel like everyone sucks (perhaps all the adults and teachers the most) and Valentina needs to just graduate and leave them far behind her smh. (hide spoiler)]

Omg yes (view spoiler)[I trust no one but I really have no idea about Zane and Kai. At first I thought maybe they were undercover or something, but Zane hooking up with Sofie kinda need that. I literally trust no one, even still question Sofie so I can’t wait to see what’s up for the final book and reveal (hide spoiler)]

Haha yeah confused and unsure is right but I kinda appreciate that after being able to figure so much stuff out earlier. (view spoiler)[But really, I wish I could go back and bitchslap the heroine for thinking ace would reveal themselves like that. This girl never learns smh (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I love them being marked so hard. It’s come full circle now 😈 (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "53% [spoilers removed]"

I thought the exact same! (view spoiler)[ They literally didn't do ANYTHING wrong, it showed that she's desperate to get the phone back, and then shows that they were all shocked by her jumping. What did they do wrong? Maybe she shouldn't have thrown the phone, but Scarlett shouldn't have jumped after it. Bullshit if you ask me (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "78% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Okay lol yeah this is kinda what I just typed oops xD But exactly, it feels a bit unnecessary to do all this because of a not that important video..?
And I agree with the groveling part, although I feel like the amount of revenge was way better than in Breakbattle Academy, it still wouldn't have hurt to get more groveling hehe. I also feel like Ezra is the only one who did some real groveling (like something embarrassing) and the rest just got sex out of it? I don't know, we'll see how you feel xD (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

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

Hehehe I love your darkside because same girl. This series just ends with a cliffhanger every time, and then you just have to keep reading xD Lost quite some sleep over it lol. (view spoiler)[ Everyone definitely sucks, can't believe the school would just stand by like this and let some 15 year olds rule. Complete bull (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[OMG yes you're so right. Ezra really was the only one. Coming clean to her mom like that was probably the best thing ever. I mean he dragged her into it and it shows he has balls enough to man up and even ask permission from someone who wasn't even aware of the situation. None of the other guys did that and yet here we are at book four and they still don't even know everything, so we still have yet to see some serious groveling because I'm sorry her past just makes it all worse.

Yeah this school is bullshit. (view spoiler)[ I think her little docu series was brilliant. That's why I still wonder if there are not plants in the school like the twins or the new teacher. Either way they are failing these kids and basically did nothing to protect them even after all that harsh reality was brought to the public's attention. (hide spoiler)]

I started this today

[Aly]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ They're really lifting the ban? I wonder how long that will last until the Spades do something. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Now I'm irritated with Val. Why not tell the guys that she's being blackmailed?? It's just going to get worse and I'm sure they'll know eventually so tell them already! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ Another bad decision. Did she really think Ace would reveal themselves? Come on girl (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Now they're all marked and still don't know who Ace is. Ugh I need them to take the Spades down! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[it just occurred to me that the idea of sharing lovers or friends dating each other’s exes kind of grossed me out in books, so if she ends up with anyone after Jaxson I’m rating the book a one star lol also genuinely concerned about Sofia now, could she be involved with spades? Almost everyone ALREADY knows she’s friends with Val and nothing’s happened to her? (hide spoiler)]

Well, it's reverse harem so you may want to quit now if that's not your thing

Lol I was kidding I don’t like the concept very much I’d prefer a normal romance or a love triangle but not so much as to not actually read it, but now I kind of know it won’t be my favorite lol, at least here on, because the first two were really good and I didn’t complain about anything honestly

honestly though did the author think we needed more characters? Lol

(view spoiler)[I think Ace is Eric, also I said before I’m not comfortable with the sharing part, I’m still uncomfortable but I am way more intrigued than uncomfortable, I want to get to the bottom of this spades thing and also Ace and maybe I want to know the boys’ reactions when she tells them about Adam, she obviously will, right? (hide spoiler)]

[Bayan]

100%
(view spoiler)[ooooohhhh shitttttt
Okay this is getting super serious I can’t even begin to explain lol
I just hope that when the spades are revealed and the whole history behind Evergreen is out in the open that it’s a good plot and worth my while lol (hide spoiler)]

I knowwww I seriously need things to line up and satisfy me I won’t be able to get over this book if it was a lame plot in the end

I agree basically 89% of the characters suck lol

[Bayan]

Note
There is no shame in admitting when you’re wrong, I usually don’t like this type of plot (view spoiler)[reverse harem, sharing lovers, etc.. (hide spoiler)] But this series was written so well that I genuinely couldn’t put it down, it tells a lot when I tell you I just sought out the other series concerning Adam Moon and got it on Kindle so excuse me for bashing earlier, future self enjoyed this book in particular and series in general.
