Vicious Little Snakes: a second chance enemies to lovers romance (The scandalous series Book 2) Kindle Edition
"It was the ultimate love-hate-love story of the year." - PP's Bookshelf
"Sexy drama galore! Vicious Little Snakes by Trilina Pucci will sink its teeth into you and never let you go!" -- New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy
Caroline Whitmore is cunning, inconsiderate, and ruthless.
Despite that, I can't recall a day that's gone by when I haven't thought about her at least once.
On paper, we're a perfect match—Only on paper.
In real life, we're a disaster.
She hates me. Hates the way I dress, everything I say—my basic existence.
But what I hate is more complicated.
Because I'm a moth to a gorgeous, petite, brunette flame.
I hate that I still remember what she wore the day we sat together in sixth grade.
And that I would move mountains for her smile.
I hate every guy that gets too close.
And that one of them gets to stay.
I hatethat I want her so bad that I used my best friend to make her jealous.
But most of all, I hate that Caroline Whitmore is the one that got away.
USA Today Bestselling author, Trilina Pucci, is coming for your heart with the final book in the Hillcrest world.

Review
"Just when I thought Pucci's writing couldn't get any better, she slays me with Vicious Little Snakes. A seductive and captivating piece that held me as a willing hostage. I'm not yet willing to let Caroline and Liam go, struggling to swallow the book hangover already claiming me as I near the end. Perfection. A forever favourite no doubt." Bestselling author, Haley Jenner
"Nostalgic New Adult perfection. Trilina has outdone herself with this emotional and witful story that will tear you apart in all the best ways."-Author, Alexandra Silva
"I wish I could give this story more than just 5 stars. I've fallen further in love with the Hillcrest Prep world. I couldn't recommend this book more!"--Author Samantha Groves
"What makes Vicious Little Snakes by Trilina Pucci stand apart from other new adult enemies to lovers romance is the unique characters and the brilliant execution of an excellently crafted story line. This was a ruthless battlefield of emotions where both sides came armed and prepared to slay you. It was the ultimate love-hate-love story of the year." - PP's Bookshelf
"The writing, the plot, the characters...it was all SO DAMN GOOD! Trilina's best work to date!....If you've read book 1, you MUST read this book! Caroline and Liam are not what you expect, they are so much more!" - Vivian Grey
"Caroline is that 'vicious little snake', while Liam is the snake charmer." -Lager Lefse BookBlog
"HILLCREST is back bitches...While so many sequels seem to suffer from the ominous 'sequel syndrome', Trilina has crafted a release that might rival the original." -Ashlee, Ashes and Vellichor
"This series never fails to push your heart to its limit. Love is hard. Sometimes it will physically tear you apart. Caroline and Liam will test these theories. But a love like theirs was the reason why we believe that love conquers all. Liam was a boy who became a man, as we witnessed his taking control of his own destiny and finally laying it all on the line to get the girl. Caroline was fierce. She was strong, yet fragile. She shed her persona and became the woman she was meant to be. You'll get consumed by this high school romance. Enjoy the ride and a drink or two because you are going to need it." - Keri Loves Books
"Trilina has very much shown her writing chops with this angsty, tortuous, GLORIOUS new adult story." - Jill Silva
"Five stars seems like such a cheap rating for this masterpiece.What about five hundred instead, yeah? Because that should be the starting off point for Vicious Little Snakes." -Laura G, Page Turner

"I devoured every word and dreamt of them for days after 'the end'. I can't wait for more! Please Trilina, be a Share bear and write about them forever!" - Tabatha Edmonds
"If Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf had a baby it would be Caroline, upper East side Princess with a cruel cruel tongue and Liam is the boy who loves her wicked lips no matter what." - Charli Jeffries
"Vicious Little Snakes was the perfect blend of teenage angst, banter and romance."--Rumi

About the author

Trilina Pucci, a #1 Amazon and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, is a connoisseur of pop culture and SANPELLEGRINO, but her true passion lies in crafting tantalizing romantic novels that delve into the depths of desire, emotion, and even hearty belly laughs.
When she's not penning steamy love stories, you'll find her indulging in Netflix marathons with her husband, Anthony (Residence is a fan fave), and their three not-so-little ones.
Pucci's journey into the world of writing was born from impulse, a wild hare of a checkmark on her “what now” list, but what began as a petty whim (nobody thought she could do it) has blossomed into a profoundly fulfilling vocation. Now, she can't imagine her life without her beloved characters, devoted readers, and the vibrant reader community that surrounds her.
In every sentence, Pucci embodies a commitment to understanding and exceeding her readers' expectations, delivering narratives that pulse with passion and resonate with raw emotion. Through her words, she invites readers to escape into a realm of romantic escapades, where every encounter is as unforgettable as the last.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseNot gonna lie, my friends...Hillcrest Prep series is a total addiction for me and Liam Brooks OWNS me!! He won me over in Filthy Little Pretties. There was just something about him that pushed him into my number one Trilina Pucci book boyfriend spot. Liam and his journey to HEA with his oh so magically delicious mean girl. Is completely unforgettable, excitingly unputdownable and at times frustrating yet still so phenomenal and fabulously written. This is a must read for all fans of frenemies to lovers, brothers best friends, and second chance romances. It’s legit the perfect combination of everything you could possibly want, mixed with things you didn’t even know you needed. Yet... Trilina gave them to you in ways so good you will never forget this book!
So, what can I say about Liam and Caroline without giving anything away?! Well they’re two drop dead gorgeous folks, I’m talking pretty enough to make you cry with their modelish good looks and sex appeal. They ooze confidence. They simultaneously reign over their minions leaving them both terrified and envious of this delicious duo. They lash out with lethal tongues verbally bringing the smack down to anyone who dare cross them. But ultimately only each other has the ability to hurt the other one. Because really only the people you love the most can cut you deepest with just their words. Oh how I cried over this. It was devastating the heartbreak they put each other through to protect themselves and each other from heartache. What a conundrum right! You hurt your person, your ride or die, because you know you will hurt them in the end. Huh! Wow! Try to figure that one out!
While maybe for a millisecond I might have been tempted to tell ol’ Caroline to get on her diamond encrusted broomstick and fly back to her mansion, from very early on I felt like we needed more information about this mean, yet misunderstood princess, and WE GOT IT!! AI really loved how this author allowed us to discover little by little their history and why Caroline was the way she was. And Liam… well he had issues of his own. The way these complex characters had their revelations and grew from them into the characters they became. Oh my heart. It was perfect. They were fantastically flawed. Perfectly imperfect actually. Better together.
This book wasn’t just a story, it was a journey an experience, and it was one I won’t soon forget. I will look back on these characters with fondness and a love for all the pieces of them. The broken and the healed. The mean and forgiven. The snobby and the humbled. This is everything I love about books and reading and life changing characters overcoming the obstacles to be with their one inevitable love.
“You’re my Love-a-Lot.” 😭💔😭
Trust me when I say READ THIS BOOK. Please! You will need tissues😭, wine 🍷 , maybe some chocolate. 🍫 You will laugh and probably also want to throw your kindle. (Don’t actually throw it though). But whatever you do, read it. K?!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe Hillcrest Prep Crew is back at it with Liam, Caroline, and Kai as the focal point.
Caroline is determined to fortify a coveted position in high society. She is conniving and devious, taking on everyone, never afraid to be the mean girl.
Liam wants Caroline but she is involved with his long-time friend, Kai. Kai and Caroline have a sweet, easy friendship. He is very protective over her and provides her with the healthiest relationship she has in her life.
Kai is one of my favorite characters. He is so even-keeled, gentle, and handles Caroline so exquisitely; you immediately love him. Everyone needs a Kai in their life! Their friendship is of the utmost importance to him.
Liam second-guesses every move he makes. He tries living up to familial pressure but is losing himself in the process.
Liam and Caroline dance around each other continuously; it’s almost tragic. They are constantly warring with one another, and their wounded pride trips them up. They can't get out of their own way!
Caroline throws herself a legendary birthday party, and we get an explosion of epic proportions. Liam is in rare form, lashing out and attacking viscously, obliterating anyone in his path.
Caroline is so earth-shatteringly broken; she’s sick to her core, screaming out her pain. And the person there for her, her nemesis Van. The character development between these two girls is brilliant. I love the raw scenes they have.
As the tale unwinds, you delve deeper into Caroline’s backstory and why she is so devastatingly mean. Her mother is unequivocally cruel to her, tearing her down. You realize Caroline has fought for every scrap. Her mother is horrific, and your heart breaks for her. Caroline's unhealthy way of coping with her mother’s cruelty exposes her deep-seated pain, allowing her humanity to shine through.
There is a ton of angst in this book, and it’s darker than the first. I do love the way it wrapped up though. It’s another great read and I absolutely recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023Format: KindleThe spice was low in this book, last few chapters were all spice but pretty much the only spice. Plot was decent but felt pretty drug out for my true liking. The tension was high between Liam and Carebear, but I felt like I was on top of a rollercoaster for 350/400 pages. Not a terrible read, but not a favorite.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too old for this
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis should be read immediately after the first book otherwise it's hard to follow.
The Gossip Girl style characters just don't do it for me anymore.
This was a DNF for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars damaged but loved.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWow. What an intense and roll a coaster of a ride. We first met Liam and Caroline in Greys and Donovan’s story, Liam is a beautiful person with a good soul but Caroline was vicious and nasty, so it was nice to see that she was worth loving in this book. You can understand why she was so damaged and hateful of herself, as she has a witch of a mother!! What a cow!!!! Don’t read many YA books as a rule but rules are meant to be broken. Loved this.
- Beyond the Pages CharliReviewed in Australia on March 25, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Chuck and Blair = Care Bear
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFirst up before I start gushing, I will admit I have a total girl crush on Caroline Whitmore. What a BAD girl! This girl is brutal (insert expletive!) You won't get some fairytale ending here where the bad girl redeems herself and turns into a well mannered princess, she stays her glorious bad self!
If Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf had a baby it would be Caroline, upper East side Princess with a cruel cruel tongue and Liam is the boy who loves her wicked lips no matter what. She is such a glorious character with depth and a psychologically abusive mother, she is a product of circumstances but somehow she still rises above it all.
Vicious Little Snakes was everything I was hoping it to be. This isn't a love story in the usual sense this is a two people are meant to be together because they fit together and form one soul, Liam and Carebear complete each other. They rip each other apart but they come together so gloriously.
This book certainly packs some punches and Caroline is one of the more interesting FMCs I have read lately!
