Hillcrest University Series by Candace Wondrak

The legacy of Hillcrest University starts out just like any other. A girl, some boys, a bit of mystery…a noose. Actually, it all begins with the noose. A noose, a note, and a corpse. And a pretty one at that… I thought coming to HU would help me move on from my past, help me get a good start on my future. A school for rich boys? Please. I’ve dealt with worse than them before. If they want to use me for whatever games they’re playing, they’ll have to try a lot harder than they’re used to... moreThe legacy of Hillcrest University starts out just like any other.

And a pretty one at that… I thought coming to HU would help me move on from my past, help me get a good start on my future. A school for rich boys? Please. I’ve dealt with worse than them before. If they want to use me for whatever games they’re playing, they’ll have to try a lot harder than they’re used to. They think I’ll willingly walk into their feud, choose sides. Declan is the tortured soul, the cute, depressed roommate who I’m supposed to watch over. Sawyer is the king of the school; everyone follows his command—and his money. Travis is…my kind of trouble: sexy, tattooed, a bit mysterious. Sawyer blames Declan for his sister’s death, but me? I know sometimes the ones pointing their fingers are the worst of all. Did someone kill his sister? I know better than to assume their innocence. In a place like Hillcrest, you can’t trust anyone. Declan, Sawyer, and Travis? They all wear masks. The better question is: if someone killed her, are they going to come after me next? These rich, entitled brats have no idea who they’re messing with. **Loser is a darker romance, meaning there are topics that might offend you. Self-harm, suicide, stalking, and more to come in future books. Be warned.** less

Things are a lot messier at Hillcrest than I believed. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself, and especially not the handsome students around me.HU was supposed to help me move on, be a fresh start, but then I walked into a feud between Sawyer and Declan. The hatred between them is palpable, and yet I find myself in the middle, somehow. And Travis? Don’t get me started on that one. He might be sexy, but he gives a new definition to the word psycho... moreThings are a lot messier at Hillcrest than I believed.
