I'm determined to learn the truth.

This was really great! I'm super into this series. I need book 3.
I will say, I wish there was a bit more interaction with the guys in this. The FMC, Rhi, spent a lot of time with Winnie and random other characters throughout this book. Spencer was barely in the 1st half, and Tristan was barely in the 2nd half. I also want more from Renzo - I feel like we've only really gotten the tip of the iceberg with him. Renzo and Rhi have only had 2 interactions, and they still feel like virtual strangers.
I am glad that Stone has come around, and we learned a bit more about him. I need Summer to be taken down because she's driving me nuts and it's getting a bit old. Azlan is still the best, but I still can't really tell if Rhi likes him beyond enjoying having lots of sex with him. With both Azlan and Stone, there's lots of progress in their physical relationships with Rhi, but very little progress emotionally. I loved the sexting scene though - I lolled.
Anyways, this was good. It felt a bit like filler because nothing really happened, and it ended with more questions than answers, but I'm still excited for the next book! I really like these characters.

I had the opportunity to ARC and Beta read this book and my goodness it was delightful! I'm really enjoying Rhi's journey to discover who she is and where she comes from.
I adore a good bully romance, especially when it's multi POV, I just love seeing how much they are actually obsessed with her. As I said in my review of book one, Azlan is so dreamy, I love a good protector. I'm also a big fan of both Spencer and Tristan and can't wait to see how they continue to develop. I want more Renzo! He's really bringing the unhingedness.
I'm looking forward to book three in the series but I can't believe we have to wait until spring!
This book features magic, Fated Mates, and is a bully romance.

Super fast read for me. Again, nothing groundbreaking. Most of this one is focused on Rhi finding out more about her past. There are a few smutty scenes but nothing terribly exciting. Still, I find the story interesting enough. I'll probably read the next one if I don't forget this series exists by the time it comes out, though the wait is not terribly long (April 2024).
However, upon checking to see when the next book comes out:
"The more I discover about my mysterious past, the deeper I'm pulled into a web of mysteries, secrets and lies"
Ah yes, mysterious mysteries and mysterious lack of a period at the end of a sentence. Like, do you give a single shit? smdh

Well, I fell asleep listening to this book because I couldn't get enough!
Rhee is surviving the best she can. She's dealing with the outcome from book 1, and boy, does she get to have some fun finally. But I like they know, just because there is a bond doesn't equal instant HEA. They still explore the relationship, and most importantly, Rhee tries to navigate it all at super speed while trying to learn what she can do and who she is.
One MMC down and nearly forgiven. 3-4 MMCs to realise their twatattuide needs erasing and a lot of grovelling needs to start. But no, no, no, Rhee knows sorry, doesn't make it all better. But she, like most bonded, will also start to realise their bullying comes from something, and it may be more to understand and forgive to make a relationship start, let alone grow and last.
Plenty of smut, steam, spice. Fun banter, friend time, and problem solving with Winnie (love that gurl!), Pip the pig.
I'm just sad because I'm catching up, and book 4 is not out on audio 😔, book 5 is out later in AW24....😢

Twisted Ties is the second book in the Arrow Hart Academy series and it blew every expectation I had out of the water 🤌📚
Tensions are running high following dramatic events at the end of Fractured Fates. This read delivers an intricate, and jeal0usy fueled dynamic, that had me enthralled.We see new faces, feel the prickle of lurking eyes and revel in the push and pull of developing attachments.
Haze's writing is so enjoyable to read, she has the knack when balancing multiple character arcs and delivers deliciously sc0rch!ng scenes.
The magic and mystery that has been weaved the plot from the beginning is evolving, we get answers (yet more questions 😉) and gaspable moments. This is a sequel worth ALL your time. The perfect weekend read that'll have your toes curling and leave you wanting more!

I was really looking forward to this and it did not disappoint!
Rhi is an absolutely amazing FMC and Stone is just oooof. 😮💨 Also Azlan is sooo Gryphon from Bonds That Tie coded and I love that! 😅
I’m so glad to have this be my first book read for 2024. 🥲💗
Now how the heck am I going to make it to April for the next one? 😭

I’m going to date myself and go with the famous words that Randy Jackson muttered in season one of American Idol and say - “It’s a no for me dawg”
None of the characters are likeable….
Heroine is pathetic. Gets magically bonded to H1 who she doesn’t even know, while in the hospital displays realistic anger with him for his actions and the fact that SHE DOESNT KNOW HIM!! But the second they get in the car to go home all inhibitions go out the window and she has porn star sex with him for the next few days. All the while playing the victim card and teeny bopper mind games - “I want to go back to school” …”ok, go back to school”….”why do you want me to go back to school!”….”you don’t have to stay”….”I’ll go if you want me to”….”why doesn’t he want to say with mmmmeeee!”
I ain’t got time for this nonsense…
H1….no real personality at all and doesn’t really share anything with the heroine.
H2…mind raper still being an asshole BUT she does end up sexing him up at the end.
H3….the orgy bully who humiliated the heroine toward the end of book 1. It’s been a few days since that orgy in which he actively participated AND humiliated the heroine but now he’s turning down an orgy and saying the heroine belongs to him? Ummmm…gonna need a little bit more info on that crazy change in attitude and am I suppose to be proud that you turned down the orgy? Get your disease ridden self checked dude, you gotta have something deadly by now
H4….the one who physically assaulted her repeatedly in book 1. Still a bully I see. Moving on…
New to the group H5….hes perhaps the only interesting one but not enough for me to even try to continue
Ultimately, the idea that this is a 6 book series leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. I can’t imagine torturing myself through any more of this drivel.

Hummm... I got complaints
So, I not saying pass on this series but I do have some issues with it. First, I wasn't sure about this series plot but it's getting better. Though the plot need to be more flushed out, I don't feel like we are any further along than the first book. Second, Rhi budding relationship with Azlan and Stone was nice but feels mainly built on lust and the bond. The end of the book suggests they will be trusting each other more, it just would have been nice to see it in this book since I'm gathering there will only be 3 books total. Which brings me to my third issue, this series needs to be more than 3 books. From the length of these books and the pacing of the current writing, there is no way to wrap this story up with a pretty bow without rushing the entire story in book 3, there needs to be at least 5 books to tell the story and for character growth. Spencer and Tristan have had no growth with Rhi, they are just suffering more form the bond. Both are still hateful to her, want her gone, and barely interacted with her in this story. They need their own book and a better explanation to why the are such dicks bc there is no reasoning besides prejudice and being stuck ups. And from the hints, Renzo is another of her mates, he needs his own book bc again, barely any interaction and no growth to their relationship. Then you need a book for the conclusion to why they were all fated, coming together working as a unit, and the final battle, or whatever.
Can you understand my complaints?!
These books are frustrating bc as other have mentioned from the first book, it just ends abruptly in each book and the story hasn't really progressed enough to leave you with a satisfying ending, or anticipation for the next book.

Why does the FMC one second know what a fated mate feels like. She even comes out and says it to Phoenix. It’s a pull from right here (touches her stomach and then his). But then the next thing you know the same feels with the other 3 people she’s like whyyyyyyy do I feel like this. What is this feeling, etc….. Grow a backbone and tell your 2 current mates that hey I feel this with X, Y, Z.

I’m actually really enjoying this series! I don’t know if I felt the same kind of pull towards this book as I did the first, but I’m still enjoying the series and will definitely be continuing.

A nice sequel but there was one really annoying thing in this book that took down my enjoyment a lot I’m afraid. Tristan and Spencer are still my favourites.

August 14, 2024I had to DNF this one almost halfway through the book….
Nothing has happened to really* move the story along. It’s still just stupid bullying… and the bullying isn’t even original…. How are they supposed to be 20-22 year old adults!??
*we’ve bonded with 1 mate the FmC has recognized what the pull means to the others.. but just goes “no something must be wrong with me clearly it doesn’t mean I have more that’s just silly ” and refuses to ask/talk about it….
*We still haven’t gotten any world building, we have no idea what the magic system is or how it is used, just that you have to be registered in order to be prepared to fight some unknown enemy in the west….
We don’t actually see anything happen when she’s at school, the school might as well be non existent because we never actually see anything besides “I’m in class and the students are picking on me again”

Not nearly enough grovel or remorse from the professor for me, and there isn't enough in the next book either.
April 8, 2025
Oh this one got much better than the first book. The plot is really starting to develop and getting more complex.
Really enjoying seeing how her relationships develop with each of the men and how different each of them are.

The Arrow Hart Academy is so far a solid 3 star series for me. I find myself starting to skim read hoping to get to something more exciting or interesting. Rhi's POV is actually starting to bore me. I look forward to Azlan and Stone's POVs because then you actually get a bit more understanding about the world they're living in.
The romance aspect is also a bit blah. I normally enjoy bully romances (as long as the MCs eventually get their acts together), but this one is falling a bit flat for me. I just don't quite understand the absolute disdain some of these guys have for Rhi. Okay sure, she was unregistered. They didn't even find that out until after deciding they hate her. Is it just because they don't want a fated mate and can sense/know that she is theirs'? The author doesn't really get into it- or at least hasn't so far.
My only major love so far is Renzo- I love a little psychosis in a fictional man! I can't wait to get more information and "screen time" with him in the next book.
I'm really not sure how long of a series this is going to be. I usually anticipate RHs to have about a book per MMC which would there's a few more coming. Hopefully these relationships start to progress a bit more and the plot and world building are fleshed out better.

DNF at 86%.
I'm disappointed that I forced myself to get this far in the book. There wasn't a lot that actually happened except bullying for no reason. I'm not sure how a lot of these characters are supposed to be 20+ with how childish they act/speak. Even the two MMC who are over 30 don't even act it. I think that comes down to the writing style, and I was hoping it would get better, but sadly, it did not.

The balance of romance and plot in these books really has them catapulting to my top favorites ever. We get to see Rhi really struggle with the fact she feels this way for the men despite how terrible they can be. She knows that mutual attraction does NOT MEAN they deserve her and she’s forgiving but that does not come easily in this series. In fact I just know Spencer and Tristian are in for the biggest grovel of their life in the next book. We got to see a lot of Stone in this which had me giggling and kicking my feet. I really think this is on my top 5 of perfect academy RH. Onto the next!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25 stars. Spoilers!!
Y’all, I love me some psycho men (fictional only lol), and RENZO??? Hits the spot. Like seriously he’s deranged for trying to send her all these bloody gifts but he has me giggling and swooning because he’s constantly thinking about her and taking revenge for her and he just wants her to know 🤷♀️. And he calls her “little rabbit” just like Killian from God of Malice and he’s my second favorite log man 😩. So safe to say, I love Renzo. Even though he hasn’t had a bunch of scenes, he’s definitely in my mind. Like this man was literally sent to kill her, but as soon as he felt that tug in his guy, he switched gears and now he’s all about her. And then we have Azlan, now that she’s freshly mated to him, wow, the spice scenes are spicing. Plus, his protectiveness over her 😩. And I’m loving how she sees him as a safe place now, like she’s still getting used to it, but she just always wants to be with him 🤭, I just love it. Plus, I’m loving the forbidden student x professor vibes with Stone and Rhi. Like all the arguing, the built up tension, the mini threesome…and that final scene 🤭. And now, we just need the other two to fix their shit because we can already see how little by little they’re softening for her. Like the werebeast aka Spencer not attacking her, Tristan preventing the werebeast from potentially attacking her with his invisibility powers, Spencer properly teaching her how to fight when he learns Renzo is after her, and Spencer wanting her at his dueling match and wanting to impress her. Like these men are down bad for her, but won’t admit to themselves. Like I need them to fix their behavior already.
But y’all, Tristian and Azlan are cousins?? That was a nice shock. Also, we finally learned some information about Rhi’s past and her mother. But I cannot wait to see what the next book has in store for us 👏👏
Favorite quotes/scenes:
“I want you to give it to the girl.” (Renzo 🤭)
“What girl?”
“The one who looks like she fell out of a fairytale.”
“What’s her name?”
“Rhianna Blackwaters.”
“I’ll give it to her. Who should I say it’s from?”
“Her other half. She’ll know.”
“Besides, I bet I made my mark on you too.”
“Any you did, I healed.” (Azlan)
“But I did mark you?”
“You’ve done more than mark me.” (Azlan)
“I have?”
“You’ve captivated me. You’re beautiful. Brave. Smart. And you don’t know when to shut up.” (Azlan)
“I like watching you. You’re such a strange little thing. And you sound so delicious when you scream. You know, I bet I could make you scream twice as loud as he can.” (Renzo)
“She’s not a bitch.” A brat maybe, but not a bitch. A brat who has spilled some color into a world that was looking desolate and gray. “She’s special.” (Azlan to Tristan)
“Like I said, no one here talks to me. Not after that incident with the dude and his tongue. People are so fucking touchy. Especially about their body parts.” (Renzo 🤦♀️🤣)
“What did your aunt tell you about your mother?”
“That she was beautiful. Clever. Kind. That I looked just like her. That she loved me. That she’d been so desperate to have me. That I was the …that I was the light in her life.”
“I think you may be the light in mine too, Rhianna.”
“Spencer, you had hundreds of people cheering out there for you today, chanting your goddamn name. Who cares if I was there or not?”
“I care. I wanted you there.”
“Because, damn it, I do love this girl. For all her brattiness and snark, for her sharp tongue and her naivety. I love her. I love her for her smile, her laugh, for the way her cheeks fill with color and her eyes dance with excitement. Fuck, I love her.” (Stone)
“The moment I answered that call from Azlan. The moment I agreed to help him bring the girl in. The moment I laid eyes on her. From that moment, I was set on a path, my fate, and it was always leading right here. Into my bed, between her legs. This was always where I was meant to be. So damn the consequences. Damn all of it. She’s my mate, my fated mate, and I’m done fighting it. I’m letting go. Falling.” (Stone)

Like this man was literally sent to kill her, but as soon as he felt that tug in his guy, he switched gears and now he’s all about her. And then we have Azlan, now that she’s freshly mated to him, wow, the spice scenes are spicing. Plus, his protectiveness over her 😩. And I’m loving how she sees him as a safe place now, like she’s still getting used to it, but she just always wants to be with him 🤭, I just love it. Plus, I’m loving the forbidden student x professor vibes with Stone and Rhi. Like all the arguing, the built up tension, the mini threesome…and that final scene 🤭. And now, we just need the other two to fix their shit because we can already see how little by little they’re softening for her. Like the werebeast aka Spencer not attacking her, Tristan preventing the werebeast from potentially attacking her with his invisibility powers, Spencer properly teaching her how to fight when he learns Renzo is after her, and Spencer wanting her at his dueling match and wanting to impress her. Like these men are down bad for her, but won’t admit to themselves. Like I need them to fix their behavior already.
But y’all, Tristian and Azlan are cousins?? That was a nice shock. Also, we finally learned some information about Rhi’s past and her mother. But I cannot wait to see what the next book has in store for us 👏👏
Favorite quotes/scenes:
“I want you to give it to the girl.” (Renzo 🤭)
“What girl?”
“The one who looks like she fell out of a fairytale.”
“What’s her name?”
“Rhianna Blackwaters.”
“I’ll give it to her. Who should I say it’s from?”
“Her other half. She’ll know.”
“Besides, I bet I made my mark on you too.”
“Any you did, I healed.” (Azlan)
“But I did mark you?”
“You’ve done more than mark me.” (Azlan)
“I have?”
“You’ve captivated me. You’re beautiful. Brave. Smart. And you don’t know when to shut up.” (Azlan)
“I like watching you. You’re such a strange little thing. And you sound so delicious when you scream. You know, I bet I could make you scream twice as loud as he can.” (Renzo)
“She’s not a bitch.” A brat maybe, but not a bitch. A brat who has spilled some color into a world that was looking desolate and gray. “She’s special.” (Azlan to Tristan)
“Like I said, no one here talks to me. Not after that incident with the dude and his tongue. People are so fucking touchy. Especially about their body parts.” (Renzo 🤦♀️🤣)
“What did your aunt tell you about your mother?”
“That she was beautiful. Clever. Kind. That I looked just like her. That she loved me. That she’d been so desperate to have me. That I was the …that I was the light in her life.”
“I think you may be the light in mine too, Rhianna.”
“Spencer, you had hundreds of people cheering out there for you today, chanting your goddamn name. Who cares if I was there or not?”
“I care. I wanted you there.”
“Because, damn it, I do love this girl. For all her brattiness and snark, for her sharp tongue and her naivety. I love her. I love her for her smile, her laugh, for the way her cheeks fill with color and her eyes dance with excitement. Fuck, I love her.” (Stone)
“The moment I answered that call from Azlan. The moment I agreed to help him bring the girl in. The moment I laid eyes on her. From that moment, I was set on a path, my fate, and it was always leading right here. Into my bed, between her legs. This was always where I was meant to be. So damn the consequences. Damn all of it. She’s my mate, my fated mate, and I’m done fighting it. I’m letting go. Falling.” (Stone)

God I fucking hate Rhi, she is so fucking annoying and honestly pretty stupid and useless regardless of what they say in the book about her. Actions speak louder than words! And all the secrets from each other, so badly done and feels like the author is just trying to drag this out.
I want to quit this series so fucking bad but there is just a minuscule part of me that is still interested in the plot so I am giving this a 2 star instead of one and may rage read the next one hoping (but not holding my breath) this shit gets turned around.
Also, the female voice actor is still awful.

I loved the tension and yearning in the first book and then it’s almost instantly fucking in book 2. And it’s that “I’m a virgin but he’s slamming it in” type of sex which is unrealistic. Azlan’s sexual personality just doesn’t really fit him either for some reason. I feel like we went from slow burn to her forgiving men and overlooking things that she should be pissed about. I’m all for a bully romance, but I want them to grovel too once they realize their mistakes. And there’s not really that piece of it.
With that said, I do enjoy how she’s bratty, she does call people out on shit, I love Pip, and the general concept of the magic and unknown is good. But there could be more world building. The magic is overly vague. It has potential but it’s nothing earth shattering.

Whelp.
Consider me hooked.
The way I devoured this book in one sitting.
The way it made me feel angst, longing, sadness, and eagerness for what’s to come.
Two mates down.
3? To go.
I’m kinda hoping it continues with this trend of claiming each mate per book. It’s keeping things fresh and giving me just the right amount of satisfaction while keeping things tense.
The writing flows seamlessly and the plot is unravelling little by little which is working out well for this story.
Let’s see what mischief Rhi and her boys into in book 3 shall we?
~4 stars~

felt like a bit of a filler book as not much happened to progress the plot, and, with the exception of Stone/Azlan, the relationships with the guys are still pretty much the same ie stuck in the bully phase. apart from being physical, there’s not a lot of emotional intimacy in the romance. i really like the premise of book 1 and the resilience of the fmc, but I don’t think I can be bothered to read the next one - my interest’s kind of petered out now…

Ok, a little bit better. Tristan and Spencer still piss me off. Stone was better towards the end but still a jerk. I really really want to see her put Summer in her place, I mean she is absolutely a typical mean girl but gets way too much coverage for my liking. Still not enough about Rhi’s background though which was sad but either way I’m invested so onto the 3rd book

Okay so I take back everything I said about book #1 in this series…. This is absolutely NOT YA (🔥🙈🥰) and wayyyyy better than Zodiac Academy in my opinion.
I wish I attended a magical school with hot guys who were mean to me but also protected me because they secretly loved me :( :( :(
Excited to see where this plot line goes. Jumping into the next one ASAP bye!!!!!

**** BEST BULLY RH ROMANCE****
I jave read a lot of RH bully romance, but very few left me feeling lost and undone. Twisted ties is up there among my top 3 read. This book made me feel so much emotions, Rhi our bad ass bratty fmc is fantastic and gives as much as she gets.
