Silvercrest U Book 1: Wicked Games by Willow Dixon

Silvercrest U Book 1

 Killian

I hate obscure school rules. Especially the one that says siblings have to room together after a tragedy. Now I’m stuck sharing my dorm with my stepbrother, and I have no idea how either of us is going to make it to the end of the school year without offing the other.

Just as I’m getting used to having Felix around, someone else tries to off him, and now my cousins and I have to figure out who’s after him, and why. We might not like each other, but Felix is family, and that means he’s mine to protect.

Felix has always annoyed the hell out of me, but now he likes making me angry. And unlike most people, he isn’t afraid of me when I’m angry. There’s also something else between us. Something wild and addictive.

Something I’ve never felt before.

I’ve always known there’s more to my buttoned-up stepbrother than meets the eye, but it isn’t until we start a game of gay chicken that I realize just how similar we are.

He should know better than to start a game he can’t win, but if that’s what he wants, then game f*cking on, bro.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Felix’s family life hasn’t exactly been easy. When he was a kid, his parents divorced and remarried. His dad got a new wife and had kids with her and forgot about Felix. And his mom married a rich and powerful man with a son of his own already. Felix was never really part of his dad’s new life and his mom never really cared much for Felix except for appearances. He was really on his own seeing as he kept far from his stepbrother. But things change his second year at Silvercrest U. When his dad and his new family die after a tragic accident, the school feels that Felix must dorm with his stepbrother, Killian, to help with the grief. Little do they know that they don’t exactly get along. But dorming together forces the two of them to actually take notice of the other. These is sparking connection between them. An attraction neither really expected. But things change drastically when someone tries to kill Felix. No one hurts Killian’s family. Even his stepbrother. He protects what is his. And Felix only becomes more and more his the more they spend time together and give in intense attraction. But can they find who is out to hurt Felix before it’s too late? Loved this new series by Willow Dixon! It is definitely a darker romance with plenty of suspense and action. We have a very interesting cast of characters and I can’t wait to see them in their own books. I loved Killian and Felix’s romance. It starts like a game for these two as they try to get under one another’s skin, but the protectiveness and possessive the two feel for one another only grows as they fall harder for one another. Great way to kick off this series and I cannot wait for the next book!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
