Review:
Wow! When I first read the blurb to Wicked Games, I knew I HAD TO HAVE it. It didn't look like your ordinary college romance, but one that is filled with suspense and intrigue. I absolutely loved it! These two authors wove together the perfect intricate web of friendship, loyalty, betrayal, lust and love.
Without giving too much away, we find that Emily is the new girl at the prestigious Campbell College. This is a fresh start for her away from Oregon and her days in the foster care system. While trying to balance her classes, new friends and her love life, she stumbles upon a mystery. Who killed Asher Radcliffe? She refuses to believe that it was simply a mere accident.
After doing some digging, she discovers that Asher was part of a secret society, whose activities were shrouded in mystery. Determined to uncover the secrets behind those walls, she soon find herself the prime target of the killer. Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Why so many secrets and lies? This proves to be an enigma of epic proportions, and will have you guessing until the very end.
This was my first read by either of these two authors, and it most definitely will not be my last. This book was wonderfully written and had a well developed plot. It was like pure kindle crack for me and had me hooked from the very first page. I would highly recommend going in blind without any spoilers or expectations. The only thing you need to know is that you are about to go on one wild and thrilling ride.

Excerpt
Pulling my
two heavy textbooks for this class out of the stack too, I arrange everything
nicely. Just as I am getting my brand new pencils ready, I am startled by a
loud bang. My desk mate drops his books on the countertop and sits down,
looking at me askance.
I startle
to realize that it’s the blond Greek god I ran from only yesterday. Tall and
broad-shouldered, he wears his black denim and dark blue tee shirt incredibly
well. He knows it too, judging by his posture. He perches on his stool and
crosses his arms, expectant. Perfectly unkempt sandy blond hair, dark brows
spread wide over the darkest blue eyes I’ve ever seen, a patrician nose, two
incredible cheekbones, and the most expressive lips…
This guy is
fucking hot, excuse my French.
Which are
currently smirking at me. I knew hot guys back home in Prineville. Mostly I
avoided them, truth be told. But this guy is on another level. He is so
dazzling that he could work in television… and bad tv just so
happens to be my weakness.
Being
around this guy is enough to make me rethink the bright yellow tee shirt dress
I am wearing. I want more than anything to tug the hem down and smooth my hands
over my black tights, but I don’t.
Instead I
blush, fumbling to introduce myself. Sticking my hand straight out and tossing
my messy blonde hair back, I try for an authoritative voice. “I’m Emily Danes.”
At the
front of the classroom, the professor clears his throat, ready to start
talking. My eyes dart to him, but then he reaches for his bunch of tissues
again. Glancing back to my partner, I see him eye me up and down in a totally
unsubtle way.
At last, he
leans forward and shakes my hand. His skin against mine is hot. I bite my lip,
refusing to let a little thing like instant animal attraction do me in.
“I’m Wolf,”
he says, his voice low and gravelly. He looks me over once more. Then he arches
a brow, his smirk deepening. “Did you find all of your panties last night?”
My cheeks
instantly go the exact color of a ripe tomato. I lick my lips and frown. What
am I supposed to say to that?
