Twisted Selection (Edgewood Academy Elite #1) by P.H. Nix

Sypnosis
Edgewood Elite rule this town, but that doesn’t mean they can rule me.
After my dad goes missing, my family falls apart. News of an inheritance from a long-lost relative gives us the restart we need. At least, that’s what I think until we get there.

Edgewood Academy is ruled by the town’s four heirs.
Wes, broody and stuck up, wants me run out of town. He never misses an opportunity to tell me he thinks I’m trash and don’t belong.
Wyatt, the jokester who wants to possess me, doesn’t take no for an answer. From day one, he told me I would be theirs. He looks at me like he wants to fuse our souls.
Lev, silent but edgy, his calculating indifference runs hot and cold on the best of days. I don’t know if he wants to own me or destroy me.
Owen, dark and depraved, I don’t know what happened in his past, but his darkness seeks out my darkness.

Whatever the heirs have in store for me pales to the real reason I was brought here. A deal made long ago locked me into a deadly game.

Will I survive this Twisted Selection?

Review:
I cannot believe I was able to gobble up this book in just a few short hours. I honestly was not expecting to invest myself entirely in this book and fall off the couch when I came to the end - a very naughty cliffhanger. How am I supposed to go on until the second book comes out?

I came across this book. I am not even sure how or when. I know it was not Book Tok because I have not seen this book being pimped by other readers. I am only going to consider that I was going through GoodReads when I came across it. I loved the premise. It contained my favorite tropes: reverse harem, dark, academia, and obsessive/possessive boys. This book has it all and I am really glad that I went ahead and picked it up. Lately, I have been on a book kick. Most of the books have been pretty good and this one was not a disappointment by any means.

RiRi is our FMC and she is doing everything in her power to balance taking care of her siblings, finding her missing mother and father, and surviving high school. It does not help when she becomes the target of the Edgewood heirs and the unhinged Samantha Davenport. Things get worse when she becomes selected and things start happening around her. Now RiRi will have to do everything she can to protect her siblings and learn why this happening to her.

I am dying to see what happens in the next book. I had to look up to see when book two is coming out. Next month. Does anyone know if this is going to be a duet or a trilogy? Part of me thinks it is going to be the latter. I would not mind this being either because this series has a lot of potentials to keep the reader coming back for more and for this series to continue in the collective minds of its readers.
