- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020Just Wow!! What a follow up DUET!! One Click Now! You will Not Be disappointed!!
First Things First Though, This IS BOOK 2 "Ruling Class" So If You didn't read Bully King Before! Then Stop Go Back because, Ruling Class would for sure make ya think WTH from Page 1, ya know? Lol
You have to get your dues diligence with a JA Huss book and only reading half would kind of be like walking around half dressed, yep that kind of goes well with this Book! HA!!! Because after Book One IT was obviously going hit hard and to us readers, uh huh, quit it, give me more now!!
And Now, damn after all that TRIP!! Yep I Still Need It Again, MORE! It’s just this kind of a Duet for me! Book 1 blows it up crazy, you think book 2 won't? Well lets just see what you think then?
For Me, yep she did it again, sucked me in good, turns ya sideways, backwards, I think like a drowning, yep, recitation now please!! 😂 Wait let me jump back in for Rd 2 because I wanna do it all over again, just keep letting it happen. Yep All Of It, just washing right over me again, an again. Because this time I know, don’t I? 😂🤷♀️🎉
So Of course Its Another; Hold onto your seat, your Kindle or whatever you read on, for Sure Yourself and YOUR Heart just because a few times it skipped and skidded and I swear it was going ping ponging right around in my chest!!! Yep in quite a few place, or Beats!!
THIS "Ruling Class" Is Exactly what is sounds Like, well Maybe or Maybe NOT!!
Its got all High Ranks of Kings with Queens with the underclassmen wishing to be just like them, but do they really? What Do they want with the status? Will it be the Class, Cars, Jewels, Diamonds an of course exposing All and Even some like this Crass Type Personalities! But Honor, maybe Honorary guest! LOL But Belonging...Belonging to Who or Whom?
This one picks right on up with just how it ends but soon the twists start twisting and you don't know who to believe or not. Lies a flying, Strawberry Champagne a flowing, Secrets Galore and can even hide or not in a huge “Glass House” And exactly just what was that devised plan they had, was it true, heck at the end of Bully Kings we think we know but do we truly even? We think we really know but then it kind of goes in all different directions, Im def thinking is this right? Was it even any kind of Truth? The Secrets of these People?
So then I get to thinking about this writer and believe me when JA Huss decides to write a story about a Bully, I was Like What? I gotta smile right here because if you are a true Huss Fan, you know how she will push, pull and tug all over, make your mind go all over the place and most times, its especially too your heart! And all of this with a Bully King, a privileged bunch of Rich Punks & It’s new pledges that must go through their time within their “Ruling Class”
I'd love to say another Huss classic but then again what is really a Huss Classic? 😂 Maybe a Book You will Never Forget! ❤️ A book from beginning to end you didn't know what the heck was truly going to happen from minute to minute, or you think you figured it out but Yep thats exactly not it!! Lol Yeah something like All of this Or that wrapped up for you to unravel yourself, your Mind! And ya know what I LOVE that about this woman, this creative Author! Because After Yrs of buying and Reading, Hell I realize not even a damn Pandemic can stop her, well yes it stunned us all. But SHE can keep me in such a fluster of emotions that sometimes I have to guess at all my own reactions because it is all fiction, right? LOL Because sometimes it just seems like she catches Life and takes it to the Deeper End. And it evolves Right before our eyes, and The this Ruling Class, its That kind, exactly that kind of a Ride!
I'm not going give much more away in this one because its the ending of a Duet and well who wants to get spoiled with the ending of that first book! A book to me that had me for the first time in 2020 worried about THESE CHARACTERS And Nothing else and I needed that, VERY Much So!!!
Thank You Julie for Always Bringing it!! I loved this story line, I loved these characters and I def could see a couple of the other characters getting a book of their very own, because truthfully who didn't you generally Love of Coopers Buddy's and even a couple of the ones in Book 1 that you for sure didn't think would be worth a minutes worry but all of the sudden they do! Yep right On!!
Never a disappointment, Never a person going copycat this writing, because it just cant be done, forget about it! Lol Because You Will Never Know What's Cooking In That Head of JA Huss! And Then you are already thinking for a minute and what she is gonna bring your way Next!! Sure wish I did sometimes but heck then it wouldn't be near the fun of knowing at the end how fully satisfying the entire Thing Is, This Thing of Being a Creative Writer of All Things Like This, that is Just Being Great with This Duet, The Ones Before & it’ll Be the Ones After That will continue to be, yes please! Sorry just some mad props to this writer and how she can get ya every time!!
I'd give this Duet a 10 Star Rating if I could, its just That GOOD!! But Its def a Full "Ruling of 5 Stars"!
NoW get to enjoying This 2020 Top Hit!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2020This is book 2 and yes you do need to read them in order or you won't know what is going on or who the characters are. I am a huge JA Huss fan. For me this was an ok series. It's not one where I would reread it like several other books she produces. But it was still good. There is enough mystery as well as romance and some darkness to add in the drama effect.
Overview. Cadee and Cooper's bond keeps growing, but the secret society keeps pushing them in different directions as well as their beginning plans to destroy the secret society. Everyone is going in different directions and learning the game as it goes. But how will it all end if the only way out is death.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020Book 2 was just as good as book 1, if not better. Ruling Class will also suck you in drag you along for the ride and refuse to let you go once it ends. It had everything you could possibly want in a bully romance and I absolutely loved it. Bullies and romance (of course), even bigger secrets and lies than book 1, a great storyline and world, and some hot bullies, not to mention deliciously dark and hot.
I absolutely loved these characters but I would’ve loved to have known more about Ax and Lars and all the other guys. I just couldn’t help but want to get inside their heads.
There were so many times where I was scared the book wouldn’t end the way I hoped it would for certain characters. Damn did that keep me on the edge of my seat dying to find out what happens next.
I felt like the ending was over before it really began though, I so wanted more of it! I just fell in love with these characters and their story, so much so that I couldn’t put it down but the ending left me a little disappointed when everything was revealed. But all in all, a fantastic duet that I so recommend you read.
4.5 stars
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020Please Note: This book has some of the feels of D/s (Dom and Sub), and slavery in it (unfortunately, the slaves have no safe word). IF you haven't read Bully King, go grab that first, this book finishes that story.
This book hit on all the feels!! What a roller coaster ride that was! I didn't know which way was up! In true JA Huss fashion it has all the plot twists! There is never a dull moment!!
Are they playing the game of Fang & Feather? Are they playing their own game to win to get out of this trap they've been led into? Will they survive? I just don't even have words... There were points in this book it pushed my boundaries reading the slave pieces--I like to read the D/s books. I wanted to rip apart a few of the characters, but... well, I can't go into more details because I don't like to write my reviews with spoilers (other than the warning above about the D/s /slave part).
If you love the idea of a twisty twisted book, this is right up your alley. I loved this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020This book will definitely have you glued to your kindle. Secrets are revealed and what secrets they were. Cooper & Cadee, I was definitely rooting for them, they both deserve their HEA but will they get it. This book reveals a lot and a lot you never saw coming. The characters I love and this is a duet you will never want to forget. The end I was like omg wtf but it ended how it should have. Another amazing read that I would suggest everyone one click if they live a good twisted crazy dark read.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 20203.5 stars
A very intriguing story, it got my attention since the start but sadly the main characters didn't.
I never got invested on them, but the story was good enough for me to continue.
I really wanted to know the secrets and what really meant to be part of that society and yes we do get some answers but I feel like some questions didn't get answered and once the secrets were revealed every happened super fast.
All in all, it was a good duet but sadly and surprisingly it felt short of my expectations

- Sharon BReviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this!
You must read Bully King before reading this story. This is definitely darker than Bully King. There are times when I wondered just what the hell is going on?
This story jerks you about with perceptions - are they a good person, or a bad person? Just what kind of a society/Group/Cult are they involved with? What goes on is so messed up - it's dark and disturbing. This was a page turner, as I desperately wanted to know secrets, to know what exactly was going on. Absolutely brilliant!
- FemkeReviewed in Germany on February 4, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars The plot!!
This is probably one the weirdest, but also best plotted books I've ever read of J.A. Huss. I was just wtf through the whole thing.
- Carol 27Reviewed in Canada on August 9, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars What would you be willing to risk, to gain entry into the ruling class?
The story picks up at the beginning of the school year, and we find the students from the summer rush eager to set their grand plan into motion. But it seems the Chairman and his cronies have been busy planning too— to divide and conquer, undermining friendships, loyalties and trust where necessary.
I enjoyed Cadee’s dilemma – her desire for justice and the truth about her parents’ connection to High Court College versus living her childhood dream while embracing her new special status amongst the ruling class – all while trying to stick to the plan and remain true to herself.
I enjoyed the conclusion to this well written, intriguing tale. In addition to the mystery surrounding the Monrovian Lake Estates, there’s also plenty of drama, anguish, treachery, manipulation, and secrets, plus some shocking revelations, along with several explicit encounters, some of which feature themes of dominance, submission and discipline.
