This series has my mind reeling with crazy!

“He said there’s this beautiful angel who has her heart on her sleeve and we have to keep her safe.”

In this second book, we see Sang trying to keep her mother at bay while hanging out with the Academy boys. As they attend Ashley Water High together, she soon sees the work that the boys have to do. The school is a mess with violence and other conducts of hazardous behaviour, as well as a dodgy principal and vice who don't seem too keen on receiving help from the boys to help bring order to the school.

Even though having the boys around helps Sang get through school without notice, inevitably she becomes a target as she's dragged in to the shady business. People start to notice the group who keep to themselves, and the boys find themselves becoming targets soon enough as their cover is blown.

" And that you're beating up the boys at school in protest to get me to come back. Couldn't let that happen.”

When Sang finds herself defending the boys, she realises that she would do anything for them the way they had been doing for her. It's a step closer into their family and their loyalty to her keeps her going when she endures her mother's antics.

I'm not sure what else to say, a lot of questions are swirling around with the Academy and Ashley Water High which adds to the tension and mystery.
Again, we're constantly learning about the 7 boys and we see how Sang affects them and vice versa. It's certainly a journey!
