Pretty Reckless by L.J. Shen

Pretty Reckless (All Saints High, #1)

by L.J. Shen

From USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author L.J. Shen comes an intense, high school enemies-to-lovers romance with a twist.

Penn

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.

Daria

Everyone loves a good old unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.

No surprise here, L.J. is topping my 2019 #RSFAVE list again with her newest release, Pretty Reckless, in the highly-anticipated series, All Saints High. Since she first shared about her new series surrounding the kids from our favorite hotholesPretty Reckless quickly topped my most anticipated reading list for 2019. L.J. is definitely giving the hotholes a run for their money because I strongly believe their kids will be taking over Todos Santos by storm!

First up in this series is Daria and if you've read the Sinners of Saint series, she is the daughter of Jamie and Melody Followhill. With the little that we know and seen of Daria, she wasn't exactly high on my list for favorite people. And I was a bit curious to see how L.J. was going to swing her story and having me like her by the end.
