ALC Review: They the Pretty Stars By Eden O'Neill

Advanced Listening Copy Review! #ALC

They the Pretty Stars
Court High #1
By Eden O'Neill
Narrated by Kasi Hollowell
Produced by Pink Flamingo Productions




Blurb:
In Maywood Heights, stars burn bright. They fall even harder.
They call them the Court, an elite boys club who rule Windsor Preparatory Academy like gods among men. And, of course, they're led by Hercules himself.
Royal Prinze--yes, that's actually his name--walks around both the school and the town like he owns them. His affiliation to the prestigious Court only gives him more clout. These boys do anything they want. They take anything they want, and they f*ck anything they want... in that order.
Then there's me.
I came to Maywood Heights to live with my virtually indifferent father because my sister went AWOL. She chose to stay with him after our parents' divorce when we were kids, and I haven't seen or heard from her since summer began. The last thing I imagined when enrolling at her school was that she'd be connected to a group like the Court, and boys like Royal. She's nothing like them and so much better than Royal and his elitist attitude...
So, why then are they saying he's her best friend?
Warning: This enemies-to-lovers, high school romance contains some dark themes and light bullying. The book is not a standalone and is book one in a four-part series of full-length novels. Royal Prinze is the only hero of this tale... good luck getting him to share.


My Review:

This was my first Eden O'Neill's book, and definitely won't be my last. They The Pretty Stars is the first book in a four-part series of the Court High Series, an amazingly dark romance, enemies-to-lovers, and light bullying romance. This story is intriguing and intricate. The characters are fantastic, well developed and complex. December (Em) is a wonderful strong young woman, determined, and smart. Royal is dark, secretive, and intriguing. The supporting characters are great and intriguing. The storyline has twists and turns, mystery, secrets, and intrigue. The world building is well done, and absolutely captivating. The story ends with a big cliffhanger, and I need the second book in the Series now! Kasi Hollowell did an outstanding job with the narration. She has the perfect voice for this High School/New Adult Romance. The audio quality is perfect. I can't wait to listen to Illusions that May, to know what happens next.
