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.

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.

Am I the only innocent one around here? No, no I’m not. My heart is torn between these broken, beautiful bullies, and I don’t know what to think. My heart, it turns out, isn’t the only thing on the line. What happened that night in the dorm was only the beginning, and my life is about to change forever with what I discover. Travis was right. We are all monsters at Hillcrest, even me. **Freak 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. **.

I thought Hillcrest and the handsome, sexy students in it would be my undoing. I was wrong. This place isn’t a new start. The feud between Sawyer, Travis, and Declan doesn’t matter. It never did. I was blind to it, but what happened to Will and what happened to me has opened my eyes. I, Ashley Bonds, am a liar. These pretty boys don’t know the real me, but they’re about to find out just how twisted I really am. Hillcrest was never going to be my end... moreI thought Hillcrest and the handsome, sexy students in it would be my undoing. I was wrong. This place isn’t a new start.

It’s official. I’ve come undone. My time at Hillcrest only led to my undoing. My past finally caught up to me, and now I’m in my ex’s hands. Ray, the Midtown Strangler, my serial killer ex who got off on a technicality. When I’m with him, I can almost forget what I saw at that party. Almost.

The past isn’t what matters most; it’s the future. We’ll have to fight for the right to have that future. If the handsome, rich boys at Hillcrest want to come out of this alive, they’ll have to look past their differences and stand by me. It’s do or die.

With my past in the light, it’s time to look to the future. It’s time for me and my crazy, broken Hillcrest boys to unite. With a little help, maybe we can finally get my ex out of the picture. Maybe I can finally relax and be safe. Or maybe not. Travis, Declan, and Will are all I need to lose myself in the moment. With Sawyer gone, things should be a little easier. I refuse to give up any of them... moreWith my past in the light, it’s time to look to the future. It’s time for me and my crazy, broken Hillcrest boys to unite.

The legacy of Hillcrest started with a noose…and it will end with one. My second semester at Hillcrest is set to be much quieter than my first. I have my boyfriends and classes to focus on.

A new monster has decided to come out and play, and he wants me. They always want me. I’m a magnet to the psychos and the killers... moreThe legacy of Hillcrest started with a noose…and it will end with one. My second semester at Hillcrest is set to be much quieter than my first.
