CARRIE
You think you know me, but you’re wrong.
You look at me and see Carrie, the girl with the wild hair and the wild clothes.
Reliable Carrie. Friendly. Quirky. Perhaps a little strange.
What do you really know about me, though?
The details of my past are up for debate.
I’ve been careful to hide my sins, and even more careful to follow the rules.
I do as I’m told. I keep to myself. I don’t mess around with boys, and I’m always ready to run.
At least that’s what I tell myself, anyway.
Since I met him, I’ve broken every single rule in the book.
He’s impossible. Arrogant. Terrifying.
If I’m not careful, Wolf Hall’s golden boy will do more than make me break the rules. He’ll wind up breaking me.
DASH
First, they hate me, then they hate themselves for wanting me. That’s how it always goes.
I’m the smart one. The charming one. The guy with the accent that makes girls go weak at the knees. As a resident of Riot House, I’m destined to rule Wolf Hall. Doesn’t matter where you come from. How much money you have. What your future holds. Cross the path of a Riot House Boy and you’re guaranteed to pay the price.
The girl isn’t special. She’s just another cog, turning in the wheel. So why, then, am I protecting her? And why am I keeping her a secret?
Call me a monster.
Call me a fiend.
Call me reprehensible.
Call me Lord Dashiell Lovett IV.

Fabulous!
Riot Rules is the second book in the Crooked Sinners series, written by author Callie Hart. Each book in the series tells the story of a different couple and can be read as a standalone romance. Even though this is true, I believe you will better understand and appreciate the storyline by reading the books in order. Just know that it’s only a suggestion, but know that Riot House is also an amazing book!
Riot Rules tells Carina Mendoza and Dashiell Lovett’s story, and it begins several months before Riot House, which is Wren and Elodie’s story. Elodie does appear mid-way through this book, and at that point, some of the events may be familiar if you’ve read the first book. However, it’s not confusing for those that have not read their story.
I’ve been looking forward to reading Dash’s story, and it was so worth the wait! As soon as I turned that first page, I was immediately sucked in! The storyline was emotional at times, and I did not want to put it down. Now, I can’t wait to read Pax’s story!
A definite add to your TBR list!

Riot House
Crooked Sinners Book 1
by Callie Hart
Release Date: April 29th, 2020
They might be richer than gods, but they’re morally bankrupt.
As far as the boys who run America’s most exclusive international academy are concerned, I’m an unwelcome interloper, an inconvenience, and they’re determined to make my life a living hell.
When Wren Jacobi sets eyes on Wolf Hall Academy’s newest inductee, all he sees is an easy mark. A reserved little girl with a target painted on her back. He knows nothing of my troubled past, though. Nothing of my mother’s suspicious death, or the horrific treatment I’ve had to endure at the hands of my psychotic father.
And he has no idea of the lengths that I, unassuming little Elodie Stillwater, will go to in order to break the savage beast who dreams of breaking me first.
There’s a wolf stalking the forests that surround my new school.
Little does he know…
There are far scarier predators lurking out there in the dark.

Another fabulous book from the amazing Callie Hart!
I can’t fully describe how giddy I feel before opening one of Callie’s books. She has taken me on many adventures, and I have loved them all. She has become an automatic one-click buy for me.
Riot House is an enemies-to-lovers romance, and the storyline is dark, intense, and full of angst. It tells the story of Wren Jacobi and Elodie Stillwater, and they go to a prestigious boarding school in New Hampshire. Elodie’s father abruptly sent her to the Wolf Hall Academy, and she met Wren the evening that she arrived. Wren, along with his best friends Dash and Pax, lives in a house near the school, and they call it the Riot House.
Wren is such a brooding anti-hero, and Elodie is a strong female character. I liked her from the very beginning, and their romance was intense. I became completely engrossed from the first page and was on the edge of my chair.
I just absolutely loved this story, and I’m looking forward to reading Dash and Pax’s story!
