I LOVED this one! It was hard to put down. There's just something about colleges for villains that is just so addictive. Plus, I love how the found family works here. The FMC back story is heartbreaking, and we get a huge look at it at the beginning of the book when she not only learns her father's still alive but is taken to him. There instead of seeing the big bad guy the world knows him as she gets to see the fatherly side plus meet her million brothers! It was so good! I can't wait to see more in this series. I do wish that we had a little bit more tension between the main characters since they kind of came together a little too easily. Plus, the suspense side of things kind of felt like it was thrown out there too obviously and I wish we had more surprises when it came to the big reveals. But I still love this one and want to read the rest of this series when it comes out. I think they are going to follow different brothers in this family, and I hope one ends up with the MMC's second because it was kind of alluding to something.
