King of Corium (Corium University, #1)
by
by
Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Note 2: This is a trilogy. King of Corium is the first. Drop Dead Queen is the next. Broken Kingdom is the third and final book in the trilogy.
Trigger warnings: non-con, dub-con, sexual assault, attempted rape, abuse, violence, assault, murder
So many trigger warnings I had already paid attention to. And yes I knew this would be a difficult story for me.
Regardless I continued pushing on because I still did feel intrigued by the writing style. However the characters, possible romance, even the side MCs are s****y so yeah no chance in hell of them being liked by me.
This is probably a book that I would never like to read again because it goes beyond what I read even in the bully romance genre.
I just wish there were more likeable moments too and idk more intelligent decisions made by characters.
But I guess that didn’t happen.
So regardless of my hate for the king of Corium - I still look forward to the next book and hope for no more cliffhangers - my brain can only take so much.
Until the next read,
-TMR

"Possibly a triggering bully romance, as seen by fellow romance readers.
So hope I survive this ride, because the next book is coming out soon. So here we go.
Wave all the red flags away!"

"Why can’t a girl ever be smart in these bully romances?
Just for once I wouldn’t like them to be so damn ditzy and so damn idiotic and pinning blame when nothing happened at that moment.
My life heart…someone pray for me."

"Today I’ll give a class on how to get the girl:
1. Ensure you let her know you hate her and want her dead.
2. Assault her and then get lusty about it (because power controlling freaks, rapists and every other disgusting person would like that)
3. Male said girl unconscious and then idk continue being a bastard to her?
That’s all for today, class."

"Yeah you and your control problems.
Sigh maybe I picked this bully romance at a bad time having already read a darker read than this.
But sure, it’s not like I don’t love torturing myself like this."

"This Definitely triggers me back to my own private schools that I had enrolled in which were completely useless and full of bullies.
No wonder I’d rather read books than have to tackle people. 🤷🏻♀️"

"I’ve never been so disappointed in my life with an FMC who just laid there and took it.
Why couldn’t she just have been like Tangled and hit him with a pan or something?
Oh the disappointment.
Trigger warnings: se***l assault/assault"
