Week 15 Reviews: Pretty Girls Make Graves, Brutal Boys Cry Blood


From Goodreads:
Don't go outside on Devil's Night.

I'm always the good girl. I never stand out. I follow the rules.

At Blackfriars University, there's one whispered rule: Stay inside the night before Halloween. Hide under your blankets and hope the Orpheus Society isn't the monster outside your window.

If they get you, you won't just be humiliated. They'll put you six feet under.

But I've screwed up.

I found bones in a shallow grave. Another good girl, just like me.

Now I'll do whatever it takes to get to the truth.
I'll catch the eye of the cruel aristocrat with a haunted gaze.
I'll tempt the dark priest with forbidden tastes.
I'll be their shameful little secret. Their plaything. Their sacrifice.

Maybe I don't want to be a good girl anymore.

Maybe it's time to break all the rules.

Pretty Girls Make Graves is a dark romantic suspense and part one of the Dark Academia duet. If you enjoy tales of clever heroines, ancient rites, secret societies, cruel princes and wicked priests, dusty libraries and decadent parties, twisted relationships and buried secrets, then prepare to enter the halls of Blackfriars University. You may not return.

Don't get killed on Devil's Night.

I thought I was close to figuring out the truth about the mysterious death of my roommate. But Blackfriars University still holds her secrets close.

In the name of the Father…

Father Sebastian Pearce – my priest, my teacher, my friend. The man who tempted my into sin with that rich, commanding voice. The man who had me over an altar...in the biblical sense. The one man in the world I'm forbidden to love.

...the Son…

William Windsor-Forsyth – the dark prince who shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. He's as cruel as he is beautiful, and he's back to make sure I don't forget that he's royalty and I'm the freak.

...and the Holy Spirit…

In a moonlit ceremony of obscenity and excess, the Orpheus Society made me one of their own. But that doesn't mean I'll keep their secrets. I'm here to expose a killer, even if the price of justice is betraying the two men I love.

I've said my prayers,
and poured my libations.

The old gods are listening.
They demand sacrifice.

Amen.

Brutal Boys Cry Blood is a dark bully romance and part two of the Dark Academia series. If you enjoy tales of clever heroines, ancient rites, secret societies, cruel princes and wicked priests, dusty libraries and decadent parties, twisted relationships and buried secrets, then prepare to enter the halls of Blackfriars University. You may never return.
