I despised Dean in the first book so much, but his redemption arc and character development were wonderfully done. I thought that since Dean and Cat already had POVs in the previous books, their own story would have dragged, but not at all because you still learn a lot about them. I didn’t expect to like Cat and Dean’s story so much, but it was awesome! As with every other Sophie Lark book I’ve read, this was very entertaining and riveting. If Dean tells anyone what I did, I’ll be executed, just like Ozzy’s mother.The Bully is the third installment in the Kingmakers series and follows Dean Yenin and Cat Romero. The Rule of Recompense is the most iron-clad law of Kingmakers: an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, life for a life. I murdered Rocco Prince, my sister’s intended fiancé. Like a fool, I handed him the perfect leverage over me. He’ll have me killed before he’ll chance me telling anybody else. I saw him hunched over, tears streaming down his face, as he gave in to the storm of pain inside him.Īnd he will never, never, never forgive me for that. I saw him sobbing after Ozzy’s mother was executed by the Chancellor. The real reason he hates me is that I saw him in a private, unguarded moment. I’ve thought about this long and hard over the summer, wondering how I truly attracted his ire. He hates Miles and Zoe because Miles is Leo’s cousin.Īnd he hates me because I’m Zoe’s sister.īut that barely scratches the surface of his fury. He hates Leo Gallo because of the feud between their families. The train of his hatred is long and complicated. He could destroy me with a single word, just because I looked at him sideways. I’m trying to please a man who can’t be pleased.ĭean is spiteful. The only problem is that I don’t think he has any goddamned mercy. My only chance is to stay on his good side. He could tell the Chancellor at any time. She’d be compelled to stay with me, to try to protect me from something she simply can’t prevent.ĭean knows what I did. If I told Zoe the truth, she’d never feel free to go to L.A. I almost told her what I did.īut in the end, I stuffed the words down again, into the ball of frozen fear that’s been lodged deep in my guts all this time. I almost spilled my secret to Zoe a hundred times. When we come back to school, you’re mine. I remember the last words we spoke to each other as though it were three minutes ago, instead of three months. The moment I step foot aboard the ship to Kingmakers, I’m looking around for Dean Yenin. But I’ve already trapped myself in something far, far worse. My father is forbidden to force me into a marriage contract against my will. Even if there’s something horrible waiting there for me. I have to return to my own life at Kingmakers.
