Arabella Gray
Studious. Good girl. Liar.
She wants nothing more than to fit in, to be seen, to be loved.
And I'm willing to give her all of that—just to see her break.

Eli Travers
Outcast. Artist. Monster.
He hated me at first sight.
He's my new stepbrother, and he vows to make me pay for the sins of my mother.

In a school where the elite rule and wealth hides dirty secrets, a monster stalks the halls daring the brave to play in the dark. An innocent will be drawn out, their secrets exposed. Hidden desires will be brought to light in a game of sin and madness.

Are you brave enough to enter the dark corridors of Churchill Bradley Academy where a deadly game awaits?

For the first time, the twisted minds of L. Ann and Claire Marta join forces to bring you the Churchill Bradley Academy series. Containing bully romance, stalking, and dares that become more wicked as time goes on, this new series will delight the senses and leave you questioning who you can trust.

Please heed the warnings at the beginning of the book.

This series follows the same couple, with a guaranteed HEA at the end of book 4.

MF, with some MFM. This is not a “why-choose” series.

I love this book

I love this book but I guess I cant read the other books they aren't on Audible .This makes me really sad 😔

Great Listen

Arabella and Eli

The narrators did a really good job loved listening to Thomas give Eli a voice from when he is whispering to when he is yelling. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍.


I will let you know this ends in a cliffhanger I didn't think anything of it because it had a lot of chapters and it was long but then looked there is 4 books and a novella.
I found this interesting and fascinating and wish I could continue listening to the rest but the audio hasn't been released yet. These two meet when Arabella is getting ready to go to school when her mom shows up from wherever she had disappeared to and turned Arabella's world upside down that not only did she get married, she has a stepbrother who is angry and she will be going to a boarding school. Eli is an angry teen that can't believe what his father did and is determined to take out his anger on his gold digging stepmom through Arabella who he thinks is like her mom. Not only do you get the interactions between them but also the roommates and her new group of friends. There is also the shadiness of the supposed accidental death of a student from the previous year which I don't think it was and wonder if I'm right and if anything will be revealed in any of the other books. Then there are other things that happened that just got chalked up that it was Eli and I believe there is someone else who is determined to either go after Eli through Arabella. Hope the next audio book is coming out soon.
