Riot Rules (Crooked Sinners) Kindle Edition
You think you know me, but you’re wrong.
You look at me and see Carrie, the girl with the wild hair and the wild clothes. Reliable Carrie. Friendly. Quirky. Perhaps a little strange. What do you really know about me, though?
The details of my past are up for debate. I’ve been careful to hide my sins, and even more careful to follow the rules. I do as I’m told. I keep to myself. I don’t mess around with boys, and I’m always ready to run. At least that’s what I tell myself, anyway.
Since I met him, I’ve broken every single rule in the book. He’s impossible. Arrogant. Terrifying. If I’m not careful, Wolf Hall’s golden boy will do more than make me break the rules. He’ll wind up breaking me.
DASH
First, they hate me, then they hate themselves for wanting me.
That’s how it always goes. I’m the smart one. The charming one. The guy with the accent that makes girls go weak at the knees. As a resident of Riot House, I’m destined to rule Wolf Hall. Doesn’t matter where you come from. How much money you have. What your future holds. Cross the path of a Riot House Boy and you’re guaranteed to pay the price.
The girl isn’t special. She’s just another cog, turning in the wheel. So why, then, am I protecting her? And why am I keeping her a secret?
Call me a monster.
Call me a fiend.
Call me reprehensible.
Call me Lord Dashiell Lovett IV.
*Riot Rules is book two in the Crooked Sinners Series. It is a complete 145,000-word story that can be read as a standalone, or in conjunction with the other books in the series.

WOW. JUST WOOOOOOWWWWW! Callie Hart holds nothing back and delivers an angsty dual POV coming of age, dark bully YA romance that will literally hold you captive. I fought myself tooth and nail to put it down to sleep and that wasn’t easy, but this book is a beast!
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS FIVE STAR WORTHY!
✔ The Cover? Absolutely delicious and a better representation of Dash doesn’t exist!
✔ The Characters? Dash and Carrie will own you! From the first line until the inevitable end, I fell helplessly under their spells. The Crooked Sinners are back! Prepare your hearts and your panties—THE DARK LORD, THE SUN GOD, THE ANARCHIST—are in the house!
✔ The Storyline? Unequivocally superb!
About the Book:
Riot Rules is the second book in the Crooked Sinner’s series. Although written as a standalone, I highly recommend reading it after you’ve read Riot House. The storyline enhances and expands so many key moments from Riot House and reading them in order will only pull you deeper under the spell of the Riot House boys—Wren, Pax and Dashiell. This is not simply a retelling of previous Riot House, the story is deeper, and offers so much context and heart that I felt like I was reading it as a standalone from the start. (Not sure that makes sense to you, but it does if you’ve read both books! 😉)
Q: "𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜’𝙨 𝙖 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝘼𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. 𝘼 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚. 𝘼 𝙡𝙞𝙚. 𝙄’𝙢 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩. 𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝. 𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩… 𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪.”
The story is dark, as is befitting of the setting and the characters. Callie Hart crafted a boarding school that’s imposing, stately and cryptic much like Hogwarts was initially for readers of the HP series. The academy, Wolf Hall, is attended by Military brats and disregarded teens alike and offers more secrets than answers. Yet, where Hogwarts offered magic and youth, Wolf Hall dispatched cruelty, treachery and untold horrors for its residents. This school was for the elite, the youth belonging to societies crème de la crème, who were placed among the hallowed halls of an academy to be forgotten they too would join into the elite ranks of society. And to survive their tenor at Wolf Hall, they also had to carve out a space within its hierarchy or remain a bottom feeder. Enter the three kings of Wolf Hall, the dark lord, the sun God, and the Anarchrist. If you’ve not read Riot House, the mystery will keep you going until the very last pages of the book. On the other hand, if you’ve read Riot House, the new perception of events truly drew me in, and I appreciated anew the skill and mastery that Callie uses when she crafts a story.

The Characters:
Riot Rules is Dashiell’s—the aforementioned Sun God—story and prepare to acquiesce all before Lord Dashiell Lovett the Fourth because Dash… sweet Jesus, he’s nothing like I was expecting and everything I didn’t know I wanted in a book boyfriend. He’s titled nobility. His airs and grace as ingrained as his genetic code. He’s cold, heartless, competitive, and used to being the best. I can promise your hearts will beat for him long before you reach the conclusion of the story and much like Wren Jacobi—the epic alphahole himself—you’ll be helpless but to surrender to the inevitable.
Q: 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝘆. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.

Carrie—aka Carina Mendoza, the heroine—is fierce and stunning. She’s unapologetically herself and has had a life of trauma that would destroy many. Only she uses her past to build herself in the fierce heroine who shatters Dash’s glass house. That gives him a taste of everything he’s never had or knew he would ever want. She gains new scars under Dash’s tutelage though and her fight really begins anew in Riot Rules when it’s presented with new context and insights. I was rooting for this girl. Her heartbreak speaks to me and her happiness was prominent in my mind throughout the story.
Q: “𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤 .... 𝙗𝙖𝙙, 𝙞𝙩 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙨. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝 𝙄 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 .... 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 ....”
The “romance” between Dash and Carrie is deliciously hot. The sparks that ignite between this pair will surely set fire to your kindle and panties! Much like Riot House, Riot Rules is not a story that you walk away from without feeling the burn of the seriously depraved kind of sexy that Callie Hart is well known for. 😉
Q: 𝗞𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻. 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗶𝗽 𝗜 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝗶𝗺, 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗲, 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.
About the Writing:
Callie Hart writes dark romance with a skillset that never disappoints. She crafts a story that you’ll sit down and devour long into the night, if not in one setting. Her prose is beautiful and while so many elements of Riot Rules is addressed in Riot House, she still manages to write them with new perspective and a keen insight into how to best craft a scene that perfectly fits more than just the characters of one particular book. The story is phenomenal. I feel like I waited absolutely forever to get my hands on this book. I knew it was coming and the muses took her longer to weave together then the original dates allowed for. Yet, Callie pushed back her release and truly delivered perfection. I literally spent an entire night and then, because the book is so large, had to wrap it up the second night… And thankfully I was able to basically mainline copious amounts of coffee the next day! 😉
Q: “𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙣 𝙂𝙤𝙙, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙣. 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙖. 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙚. 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙨. 𝙇𝙪𝙣𝙖. 𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣.”
Despite the size of the book, a massive 475+ pages, the story pace is fast and well planned out to keep you glued to the pages. The characters are expertly crafted and since the storyline is so deeply woven into the events of Riot House, Callie took the time to line up events splendidly. It would seem to me that writing a story with parallel timelines a challenge, but Callie’s mastery is apparent as is her commitment to maintaining the dark and menacing vibe of the story all well delighting readers with unpredictable characters! Riot Rules is a very sinister and utterly compelling story that will grab your attention and hold you captive. I read a ton of bully and dark romance, and this story stuck with me for weeks after I read it. I can’t continue to paint the picture for why this story was absolutely phenomenal without offering spoilers which I won’t do, so just buy the book and read it. If you’ve never read a book by Callie Hart, you’ll be a diehard fan much like myself after reading it. And if you’re a fan of bully and dark romance, this one is sure to hold you as captivated as I was and will be a much-read addition to your kindle or paperback collection!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is the 2nd installment in Riot Boys. This series definitely had me confused, annoyed and intrigued. It’s almost like watching a mystery movie that begins at the end then continues:
After Riot House with Wren & Elodie I expected this 2nd book to pick up where it left off. But it didn’t. It begins with Carina and Lord Dashiell and how they first became aquatinted. Turns out Carrie has quite the past before she went to Wolf Hall. Dash did as well. Interestingly, they both harbour secrets but hers are much worse. Yet she wants truth from Dash. He’s surprisingly honest with her & his feelings for her. So if you read the first book, there is the all important conversation she has with Elodie and a restaurant about why she despises Dash and what he did to her. I have to say that’s the part that had me scratching my head as the turn of events weren’t adding up. But the author fills in the blank - and it’s a doozy. However, it’s one where Dash & Carrie could have avoided the heartbreak. There is some of this story that is quite drawn out & over the top to where it wouldn’t happen in real life. Carrie becomes quite frustrating at some point. Annoying and she’s almost arrogant to those who went above & beyond even after she finds out the truth. You have to read it to understand what I mean. I don’t want to give too much away. The author is also clearly British as she uses quite a bit of language that is not Dash speaking but the “Americans” and that’s just not how we say things. We say To Go coffee not Take away 😂 So now I’ll Read Pax’s story. He seems worse than he comes off in both books. All in all the books are good. There is plenty of plot twist.

5.0 out of 5 stars As expected...
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWow I devoured this book. I was so excited to read it and I was not disappointed. Dash met his match in Carina. The attraction, the chemistry and the storyline was amazing. I was screaming when I realized who Alderman is, as an avid reader of Callie Hart’s books it was thrilling to read a feature of one of my favorite characters in her many series.
Patiently waiting for Pax’s book. I love all the Riot house boys so I cannot pick a favorite but I am guessing Pax’s book is going to be more thrilling. Bring on book 3........

𝓒𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓮 is such a 𝕔𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕣. I am always complety absorbed in the story and the characters everytime I read one of her books !
I absolutely loved 🅒🅐🅡🅡🅘🅔 & 🅓🅐🅢🅗’🅢 story. It made me laugh, smile, swoon and broke my heart too… It was a rollecoaster of emotion, that’s for sure ! I admire how 𝓒𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓮 always makes the 🄲🄷🄰🅁🄰🄲🅃🄴🅁🅂 so deep and rich. Carrie & Dash are no exceptions. They are very relatable, and feel totally real – they have qualities but they have flaws too, like everyone.
The ⒹⒾⒶⓁⓄⒼⓊⒺ was perfect – realistic. 📚 I love 𝓒𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓮’s flowing & poetic writing. It never feels rushed, nor does it feel over-descriptive. 🤍
The 𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 adjusts so well to the plot.
'Riot Rules’ plot starts before and continues on towards the end of ‘Riot House’ – Something I did not expect, but such a wonderful surprise. I read ‘Riot House’ last year, when it came out, and 𝕀 𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜 𝕒𝕓𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕚𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕕𝕒𝕪. So, I was so glad to open up ‘Riot Rules’ and get some answers to the questions I had about the Riot Boys… The 𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚠𝚒𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚗𝚜 were amazing ! I did not see them coming at all.
𝓒𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓮, your 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚘 𝚙𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚞𝚕, you put into words exactly how I feel. This story is romantic, mysterious, soulful and beautiful.
Seriously, every-time, I’m 🅂🄿🄴🄴🄲🄷🄻🄴🅂🅂 when I finish one of 𝓒𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓮’s books. I still remember my reactions and how I felt reading ‘Raleigh Rebels’ (one of my favourite series ever👑) ! I cannot wait for 🅟🅐🅧’🅢 story. I am beyond intrigued about him, and have a feeling that he’ll be my sweetheart.

Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLa historia de Dash y Carrie aunque no es tan oscura como la anterior también tiene sus sombras. Carrie no es quien dice ser, vive oculta bajo una nueva identidad y ha de pasar desapercibida. Dash es el hijo de un noble inglés y que junto a Pax y Wren gobiernan la escuela a su antojo.
Dash y Carrie iniciarán una relación secreta que acabará cuando Mara desaparece y preguntas empiezan a hacerse.
En este libro vemos protagonistas de otros títulos de la autora, que de verdad recomiendo leer.
Me muero de ganas de leer la historia de Pax y Presley, seguro que va a ser de los más entretenida.
