Kings of Lockdown

Kings of Lockdown is the second book in the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, a dark high school romance that picks up where Kings of Quarantine leaves off.

Tatum Rivers has chosen to stay at Everlake Prep with the boys who tormented her, tied to them by blood, oaths and betrayal. Her father taught her how to survive, and now she means to use everything she knows about predators to lure these ones into a trap of her own. She keeps a list of their crimes and plans to turn them against each other, with lies and seduction as her weapons, so that when she is done they will not own her. She will own them.

The book is a love-hate reverse harem romance with a bully-romance edge. The publisher warns of intense bullying, sexual scenes and other possible triggers, and the series should be read in order, starting with Kings of Quarantine.
