Delinquent A Dark High School Romance Academy of Misfits Book Bea Paige
I’m the kid your parents warned you about…
Eighteen months in prison or doing time at Oceanside Academy.
Reform school has met its match in me, even if it is full of young offenders. Thieves, graffiti writers, drug runners and other petty criminals reside within the walls, and I'm just like them.
But what they didn't tell me was that I'd be one of only a handful of girls in a hoard full of boys. It'll take more than just street smarts to keep my wits about me.
Everyone here has a chip on their shoulders, and I'm no different. Mine's one of the biggest, that's why they call me Asia because I have one as large as a continent.
Rules or not, these bad boys are about to discover I've earned my label for reason...
I'm the biggest misfit of them all.
**Delinquent is book one of this new gritty, contemporary reverse harem academy trilogy for 17+ readers and deals with adult themes and some subjects you may find upsetting. Contains foul language and sexual scenes. Ends on a cliffhanger**
What an epic read, For 75% of the book I was in absolute awe of such fabulous story telling, and the fact that it was set in the smoke, the dirty gritty harsh life of a London kid. Asia as the heroine of the story has more guts and bravado than yer average Joe that much is true, After been born to a heroine addict mother and been a baby addict as well, life was never going to be a bed of roses, been dragged up under the sky rises and living a life of neglect and always having to sleep with one eye open, isn't just a story for books but the harsh reality of a lot of inner city kids, it could have been a little more gritty but that is my preference, Asia's story begins in court were once again she sits for tagging the streets where she lives as a graffiti artist and a good one at that she has her own distinct tag. She is all attitude closed off doesn't need anyone, can look after her self kind of girl. After been saved from a stint in 'juvie' she gets sent to Oceanside Academy the last chance saloon, life for her doesn't get any better it gets worse, so much worse. Fights bullies, gangs, drugs abuse all these mini adults who have had a life most of us will never ever experience. Trapped in this place and just like the outside this place has it's ring leaders and their minions, Monk all though he was an out and out horror for most of the book I actually think there is more to him. Camden is one seriously mixed up young man, I loved Ford and Sonny. For me the author has given us a great representation of the kids of this country of the lives of the poor and neglected, trying to forge a life through trials with so much pain and sorrow, judgmental people who have really no idea the horrors these kids live through or the pitfalls and the dangers just waiting to snatch these kids into and like all people they just want to belong, their idea is to be in gangs to be protected, when in reality it is so far from that it's laughable if it wasn't so tragic. The drugs and weaponry that are readily available is just mind blowing. Their singularly fight to stay alive is an awesome display of the survival of the fittest, like a modern day gladiator. Now why 4 stars when it really deserves 5 is the RH( reverse harem) side of it, I know I have to suspend believe when I read a book and I am well prepared to do that, however in this case it truly does't fit, in this country it would never ever happen and the ages of these kids who don't even understand love just doesn't make sense. I can not see Asia been apart of this triangle. Yes she is starved of love and affection, it still wouldn't make her be part of a RH, for me this spoiled the book and at the 75% mark I nearly put it down, however I persevered and I am glad I did, the last few chapters were quite nail biting stuff. A bit unbelievable at the same time. I have already purchased it because I need to know what happens to Eastern and Asia and the gang, I also feel she has a snake in her camp and it's female. Need to know if I AM RIGHT. i JUST DO NOT LIKE THE RH side of it, in my honest opinion this book did not need it. ˜”*°•.˜”*°•♥ Suzy's Book Shelf ♥•°*”˜.•°*”˜
