Twisted Games We Play
Marie Lynn Brewster
The Kings are powerful. They’re ruthless. And they own me. When my mother dies of an overdose, I’m forced to live with an aunt that hates me. Her desire to stay close to the elite pushes me right into the domain of the Kings. Kieran, Heston, and Xavier. These guys don’t just rule the high school, everyone seems to bow down to them. Nobody crosses them and lives to talk about it, or so I’ve heard. Their families are the richest in this city. In fact, they are so powerful that even the city authorities bend to their will. They don’t trust me because of where I come from. My uncle was one of the founding families, along with their fathers, and he betrayed them. Now they believe that I am the enemy. There’s an old saying, the truth will find you out. How true that statement is. My family’s secrets are revealed, and I discover that my entire life has been full of lies and deceit. Those secrets also have the power to take everything from me. But will this new revelation be enough to earn their trust, or will it destroy everything I hold dear?

A quick, dark mafia read with bully tendencies. This story starts out like so many other bully stories, but it really drug me and made me want to see what Presley was going to stand for. The story really takes a turn when the Kings realize that they have found their Queen and honestly that they all are bowing to her!! Each of her kings is different and that makes them oh so interesting --
Kiernan is outwardly dark and brooding, there's nothing sweet about him, but he also is fiercely loyal.
Heston is outwardly sweet and caring, but he has dark, dark, dark underlying that.
Xavier was kind of in the background, there but not really there and letting the others take center stage -- until he wasn't! He is like...wow...just everything despite being a bully.
0Man oh man! This story! I was in a huge reading funk and boy did this pull me out of it!! Presley, Heston, Xavier, and Kieran are out of this world!!! Talk about the twists and turns!! 5 stars isn't enough! In 3 hours I went from book slump to book hangover!! I couldn't put this down !!! The spice is chefs kiss 10/10
