Unmasked (Evergreen Academy #4) by Ruby Vincent - Starting June 9th

[Danique]

They are everything to me.
I love Jaxson, Ezra, Maverick, and Ryder the same and in vastly different ways all at once. It's a love that threatens to consume me. To take over every waking second of my final year...

...if only hidden enemies, ancient secret societies, and unsolved murders weren't also competing for my attention.

This will be my hardest term yet.

Not just for the horror of the present, but for the uncertainty of my future. How can I have a life with my knights when someone is determined that I don't survive my senior year at all?

But I will find them. I will expose them.

And by the end... only one will be left standing.

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

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ So I no longer hate Ace, i feel like they really didn’t know about the shit Scarlett did! Can’t wait to find out who it is though, I’m still thinking Makham or something along those lines, I hope it isn’t Neomi or Gus because I’d hate that. At least it definitely isn’t Scarlett, because she wouldn’t have responded that way if she was Ace. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ WHY IS RYDER BEING LIKE THIS, JUST KISS HER AND STUFF!! Man I’m getting sexually frustrated😂😂
I’m glad almost all of the boys came clean about what happend with Scarlett. Poor babies, I feel so bad for them :(
That being said, we have to talk about Isabella etc. I really thought they’d believe her, but they’re still denying it??? And I knew there was something good in Airi, she was the best out of three, so I’m glad she went over to Val’s side. Can’t wait to find out who Ace is, I don’t really think I know anymore at this point! (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ Aaaah so there are many more spades? Then I’m guessing Eric is a spade. I just don’t trust his ass, with all the tradition bullshit. I also don’t trust that new teacher, he’s too pretty so I feel like he is a spade too xD (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ Holy shit. Eric was indeed a Spade, but that video??? Damn, the way Ace exposed all of Val’s friends, damn do I feel bad for them! Especially for Sofia and Zane, they better be okay :( Poor everyone oh my. And they tried to kill her again?! I am guessing Eric is actually dead, but I’m not sure. I for sure thought she would be eaten by alligators lol.
I still kinda feel like Scarlett is Ace, I mean she was Ace, but I feel like she still is? Weird (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[ Huh. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t like the fact that Ryder drove her up to her fathers house. He just dropped that on her; I didn’t think it was romantic at all; I actually think it was very insensitive to just force her to see his house? I mean, idk. I did like them finally sleeping together, but I don’t think I really like Ryder still. Hmm

I don’t think Makham is Ace anymore; she seems to nice.. or is that an act again? I don’t feel like it is? But who the hell is it then?!?! Maybe it really just is the headmaster, but I’d hate that arghhhhhh. Where’s handsome teacher at? No wait, it’s going to be the child of that girl isn’t it. The one who was pregnant and the girlfriend of Walter, who was killed. Wait no, then that child would probably actually want revenge on the spades right. I’m overpowering my own theory lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[ Hmm okay. I didn’t expect Scarlett to be an Evergreen, but I didn’t like the Ciara reveal at all. I basically forgot she even was a person (kept thinking she was Claire), so I think it was quite a weak reveal... dammit I’m disappointed. (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ HAHAHAH THEY’RE GOING TO BREAKBATTLE???? Loooool we all know that school is even worse ahahhaah. Love the crossover xD I’m not sure how I feel about the ending, I don’t really like it. Did like the rest of the series, but this was just a little anticlimactic. Dammit. (hide spoiler)]

13% (view spoiler)[OK well she finally is starting to tell her secret. She told Ezra she was raped but not by who. But umm still don't understand his basically non-reaction. (hide spoiler)]

I'll get to this either tonight or tomorrow

72% (view spoiler)[and stupid Valentina is back. Why did she chase after Eric like that, into the Swamp!? 🤬 (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

82% (view spoiler)[Wow. I’m actually mad and offended Ryder just took her to her ‘fathers’ house, what the F? (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

84% (view spoiler)[I’m still waiting and waiting for her to come clean to the guys about her past 🤷🏼‍♀️ She forgave them after two years of torment but now they’re all in love but she hasn’t even told them everything. I’m also getting worried now that there’s not going to be a satisfying conclusion for me....

Also after four books the timeline transitions are killing me, they’re not smooth and come out of nowhere. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finished (view spoiler)[Damnit. I don’t know how to feel. I love and hate how this author writes, it just sucks me all in lol. Anyways I’m mad there’s an offshoot series (which I def need to read ASAP) but how can it just end without her telling them who Adams dad was or that you know, she mighta sorta have killed Ryders father!?!?,?

I was really hoping she’d figure it all out and using video clips and other evidence have Ezra write/film his first explosive exclusive. I mean aside from Ciara is anyone else even going to suffer or even get in trouble.? It didn’t seem like it 😒 This was just so blah, I’m unhappy 😑 There wasn’t even an end to her schooling year, they just all leave for their old schools and we never even get to see any of her friends either lol

Also I feel some type of way she gave back all that money to ryders mom, I get it but why didn’t they transfer it to like a college fund or something for him. I get she now has four rich boyfriends, she’s mart and on her way to making money but if u take that out of the equation, she’ll be stuck like she was with her mom. If she never planned to even put that guys name on adams birth certificate she wouldn’t even be able to get child support. Ugh and then that brings me to Ryders mom? The more I think about her the more I question it all. Sure she might be sick now but I mean she knows people who will come and coverup a murder, hide a body and then tried to pay off Valentina so she could keep her husbands fortune.... like it doesn’t equate to her sweet sickly character we met here. I would like to know who she really is!?!.? I keep coming back to edit this because I keep thinking of new things to complain about lmao..... I’m done, well, maybe 🤣🤣 (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Agreed. It was a pretty big letdown. And when she called out the group and aside from Ciara they all just up and left, it was all just so blah and anticlimactic and thats saying something since the two of them fought on the ledge of the roof 😂 (hide spoiler)] Thoughts on the offshoot series?

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Just read the next series’ blurbs and it really just sounds like this series all over again lmao, but yeah, I’m still gonna read it

Same!!!!! (view spoiler)[ Damn I got so mad! That's not romantic at all, it's so insensitive!! (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

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

I agree, I feel like there are so many things left unanswered! (view spoiler)[ His mother was really weird to me too, her character just didn't add up at all. Besides that, we never really got conformation of Neomi being involved with her fall and all that? What's up with that?! I hated the ending argh! (hide spoiler)]

What offshoot series is that? Is it Breakbattle Academy? Because I've read that a little while back, so I don't think I'll be rereading that just yet!

Yes good point, (view spoiler)[I forgot about Noemi. Makes me hate the headmaster even more. What a sorry excuse for a man he was smh. I was glad Valentina called him on his shit, he doesn't deserve to be in charge of children. (hide spoiler)]

It’s currently 5 in the morning where I live but I can’t put my book down xD So I’ll request it when it’s a normal morning time😂😂

[Aly]

I'm not loving this one and it's taking me forever to get through it blah

[Aly]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ I hope the headmaster finally steps in for once. Is he really going to let kids be banned from the library and cafeteria? That's way ridiculous (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I thought the new teacher guy seemed inappropriate with Val. Leaning in close, sitting right next to her, just gives creepy vibes. (hide spoiler)]

Yes! She's way way nicer than most people would be after being treated like that

(view spoiler)[Right. I was thinking the same thing. It was a very awkward moment especially as he was divulging so much. (hide spoiler)]

It wasn’t my favorite of the series but I hope it gets better for you!

[Aly]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ I bet Eric ends up dead for betraying the Spades. I'm not surprised he's a Spade, but I need answers already (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I wasn't suspecting Ciara but not shocked either. It was surprising that Ciara is Scarlett's sister and both are Evergreen's daughters.

It seemed like the end, but now there's a sequel series? Maybe I'll read that eventually (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Danique wrote: "Finished

Yes, agreed about the ending

I loved all of this comment (view spoiler)[ I was also unhappy that we didn't see Val finish the school year and now the spinoff is what? A bit of Breakbattle and a bit of college?

Ciara admitting everything was a typical villain monologue and not my favorite. It was irritating that after all Valentina did, she still never figured Ace out and had to be told. Come on girl! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I hate that there's a offshoot series when there's so much left hanging here. At the same time I feel like I need to read it to get some sort of conclusion! Don't like how the author didn't at least finish this out before adding more problems lol.

And yeah the whole Ciara monologue was so annoying and dumb. Then, I mean really, the group all just leave her alone with Valentina like they'll shake hands and go their separate ways after revealing themselves smh (hide spoiler)]

Someone catch me it’s 3:30 am and I’m still going this series will kill me

So far I’m loving it!
(view spoiler)[how Ezra is going to share what had happened with his mom, how now Val doesn’t have to keep the secret about Adam, and how the boys are staying where she is, I’m worried about the new knights I think they might try to do serious actual damage and I don’t want anyone hurt 😢 also this new teacher??😈😈😈😉😉😉 (hide spoiler)]

[Bayan]

Honestly I think the only thing that’s bothering me is that they are high school students, I think I would have loved -not that I don’t like it- this book if they were maybe in uni or something? But they’re practical kids🙄

[Bayan]

I just keep thinking how sad it is that those boys had to pretend that there was nothing, it’s such a deep feeling and I don’t think I even need to stress how important it was for them to go home and talk to their families

Yes I hoped for the same thing. Some of their behaviors were hard to imagine as young adults. (view spoiler)[Heads up there is a followup series with these characters and it's then they are in college!!! (hide spoiler)]
