Fergie, our MFC, is blind but takes no shit. I will say there were some inconsistencies with her being blind but at times able to see more than what her condition should allow. A mysterious “incident” has occurred that has caused her and her father to move in with his new wife and her son who are upper class with connections. Fergie’s starting the semester with her brother at an elite school and she’s got her eyes set on an Ivy League and will do anything she can to get in.
Enter in Cassius, her new stepbrother and a leader of the poison ivy club at their elite school. This club is violent and morally black and they control who gets into the ivy leagues, but they don’t help out of the kindness of their hearts. No their help comes at a price and it’s always a heavy one. Part of this club is Thorsten and Victor, Cassius’ best friends and they’ve all got their eye on Fergie. When Fergie’s offered a deal to help her get into the Ivy of her dreams, she agrees. Her price? She belongs to the boys of the Poison Ivy club.

My first book by this author and now I want to read more of her works. Check your TWs. A reverse harem bully romance. And the bullying was aggressive, not just towards fergie but towards other students as well. This immediately jumps in from the first chapter with Fergie and Cassius’ first meeting. That was unexpected and really set the pace for the rest of the story and it did not slow down at any point. Told from multiple POVs, with a cliffhanger ending, I ate this up in one sitting! If you like elite school bully romances, this is for you.

This book came out strong and didn’t hold back! It has all the elements you’d expect from a dark, why-choose, bully romance. While I enjoyed the narration overall, there were moments when it felt a bit flat. An interesting fact I discovered is that, like the heroine, the author is also legally blind, which adds a unique and personal touch to the story.

I want to thank NetGalley for this audiobook in exchange for my honest review as well as the author for this free copy.

I really wanted to love this but had to DNF.
The female narrator was a bit bland but I was willing to push through that until I got to the male narrator. He has a good voice but it's the way he's ending every sentence I think that's putting me off.
It's still a book I really want to read so I will get this on kindle but I think the audio book needs a redo.

The narration is AWFUL. The spice came on WAY too fast. The spicy scenes read like terrible p0rn. No time is spent developing the characters at all. I couldn’t finish this at all. I managed about 20%. It’s alright if you just want smut.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to review.

I made it through 10% of Poison Ivy before I DNF'd. I love dark romance but hated this.

Spice happened way too soon, and seemed like there was insta obsession/love from the step brother too before he knew anything about her.

And the fart scene was the last straw. Instant turn off from reading the rest of the book.

Plus all the narrators voices were grating on my nerves.
