REVIEW ➞ Devious Kisses by Thandiwe Mpofu

BLURB ➞

???? ?????? ??? ?? ????? ?? ???? ?????, ??? ??’? ???? ???? ??????.⠀

Here’s the 411 about high school—well, at least for my high school, Clintwood Academy.⠀

?It’s a fucking warzone.⠀
?Everyone has a grudge against someone else. ⠀
?It’s the breeding ground for losers, jealous broken-hearted girls, and acne covered fools with zero game.⠀
?The disgustingly rich kids are vile, vindictive, popular, and the mecca of a social life worth a damn.⠀
?Lastly, high school is simply survival of the fittest.⠀

And I was the fittest of them all. Once.⠀

Once, before I set up to take the fall for an attempted murder of one of the Fitz brothers, the golden boys of St. Jude High, our sworn rival enemy.⠀

Before I was played for a kiss and it worked. ⠀

Now, the Fitz brothers hate me.⠀
They suspect me.⠀
They want to destroy me.⠀
They know everything about me, and I hate them for it.⠀

And now, we’ll all be living together, like one big, happy step-family. With secrets brimming, hatred festering, and other feelings I have no business having for my step-cousin-brothers or whatever, haunting me night and day.⠀

Now, let’s kiss and be forever rivals…⠀


“Secrets are fun when they’re not hurtful to you or anyone you love.”


ARC REVIEW ➞

This book blew my mind. It isn’t your typical high school bully romance. Every single character in this story has multiple layers and I still feel like there is still so much to learn about all of them.

It just took a single kiss, one devious kiss, and lives were forever changed. From the moment I started reading this book and the moment of that first kiss I knew this book would take me on an emotional journey. Mia and Julian met at low points in their lives, then she destroyed his world and he spent years plotting his revenge.

I loved Mia and Julian, even Liam and Cole. These characters will shatter you; you’ll love them, you’ll cheer for them and you’ll feel every single emotion right along with them. Mia just couldn’t catch it break at times, I felt like it was just one drama after another for her. The chemistry between Mia and Julian is EXPLOSIVE! There is so much hate between them, but their hate towards each other is the greatest form of foreplay.  

Devious Kisses consumed every single inch of me the entire time I was reading it and days after finishing it I’m still trying to pick my jaw off the floor. I am ready for book two and to see how this story continues. This one is a MUST READ!
