Worse than a thief, is a liar.
Kayli Winchester can finally let go of her thieving past and for once walk on the right side of the law. She’s had enough of the hustle and is determined to become the good girl.
But her brother, Wil, is still missing. On the hunt for him, she discovers something worse than a missing sibling: Marc, Raven, Axel, Corey and Brandon. These aren’t just scoundrels with hearts of gold. They’re flat out criminals. But they’re criminals who need her.
In a ruse to draw them away from her brother and learn more about this so-called Academy, Kayli joins them on a mission to Florida in search of a missing little girl. Kayli will do anything to make sure her brother is safe. She’ll find their leader. She’ll discover their intentions. She’ll infiltrate their ranks. And if they try to threaten her brother or herself, she’ll burn them all.
But when these five hot Academy teammates all contend for her heart, her resistance starts to crumble.
Maybe she wasn’t meant to be the good girl, anyway.
I received an ARC for an honest review.
I gave book two in the Scarab beetle series a 3*
I felt like this novel dragged a little throughout the book, not giving us much to keep us reading as such.
Like in the first book Kayli is a very infuriating character. I wish she'd pick one of them instead of using them all. It's going to end badly and it makes me dislike her, when all I want to do is like her.
I will say though, the book has you wanting to read the next one. They still aren't any closer to getting answers and neither is Kayli on who the ACADEMY is.
Also, I loved all the boys again and was really jealous of Kayli having each of them fighting for her. I do love the connection she forms with Corey in this book and he and Marc are my favorite characters of the book.
They are totally different characters, different personality's, yet I found myself drawn to both.
Can't wait to read the third installment and hope we don't have to wait as long for that one as this one. ;) I want to know who she picks.....
