Sinister Games: A Dark Forbidden Mafia Academy Romance (The Syndicate Academy) Kindle Edition

by Bianca Cole (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,007 ratings

He’s hiding a dark secret, one that will change my life forever.

I shouldn’t be here.

Forced to move school partway through my senior year.

The Syndicate Academy is the embodiment of everything I hate.

An academy for heirs of tyrants like my parents.

I hate it here, except for one part, Principal Oakley Byrne.

The most gorgeous man I’ve ever met, with piercing aquamarine eyes.

He’s dark, brooding, and not your average Principal.

I’m drawn to him by a magnetic force, but I repel him.

Despite his cold treatment, I can’t help but tempt the beast to come out to play.

An action I’ll soon regret.

This man hides dark secrets behind his walls.

Secrets that could destroy my family and me.

They say all is fair in love and war.

I can’t be a part of a war I never knew existed.

He intends to devour me whole and spit me out, leaving my world in tatters.

The question is, will I survive his wrath?

Sinister Games is the first book in the Syndicate Academy Series. This book can be read as a standalone and has a happily ever after ending. This story has dark themes, hot scenes, violence, content some readers may find upsetting, and bad language.

*Originally titled Corrupt Educator

    This was such an amazing book!! Oak and Eva are seriously so perfect for each other. I know Oak had his reasons for wanting Eva at the school, but I adored how hard and fast he fell for her. Everything was beyond perfect!! I am so excited for the next book!!

    I love age-gap romance but this one was not for me. It took place in a high school for criminals. Night school is just a little to young for me. I wish it would have included more adults. And the sex was more brutal then hot.

    The story was ok ish. I really wanted a dark romance, but on page the only dark was the characters saying or thinking 'there's darkness in me..him'. Otherwise there's an awfully obscene amount of what I consider fluff.

    I’d liked the background of the book and the setting and some of the characters were rather unique. The plot was very intriguing and I will probably continue reading in the series. I would have liked to of had more feelings for the characters and I’m not sure why I didn’t but it was a good and interesting book

    I LOVE that I can read these and that they’re stand-alones. Have been in a reading rut because I have read too many unfinished series. I can put them down and pick them up when I want to come back to it. It wasn’t all I was expecting but it was good! The spice was 🔥 and the plot was also really good! On to book 2!

    I do not usually leave written reviews but this couple has some of the most spiciest scenes in this book that I have read. I really loved everything about it. If age gap romances are your favorite then this book is for you. Also I really liked the ending it wasn’t a nice wrapped up package but left room for growth.

    This is a lovely twisted tale of the forbidden relationship between the principal and the new student, with a very big twist: it starts with a plan for revenge in mind, she is legal and it ends with them falling for each other despite all odds and a surprisingly happy ending.

    I have always loved the plot of a forbidden teacher student plot and this just amazed me with its unique plot of a school specially for mafia kids with its different subjects. Loved Oak and Eva with the twits and turns nad the graphic sex. Kept me going without letting down. Waiting for more to read in the fture from the series. Especially Nitkin's story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars And a corrupt educator he was
    Reviewed in Australia on July 23, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Oakley had everything going for him until adversaries wanted him to utilise his skills for underhanded business, when he refused, they took everything from him, including the woman he loved, but didn’t tell, the only thing he focused on from there on out was revenge, reinventing himself, he disappeared, putting his plan in motion.

    Five years later

    Eva is accused of something she didn’t do, vehemently denying any wrong doing, her parents send her to The Syndicate Academy, to learn what there is to know, for one day she will take over from her father, this one thing she doesn’t want, for she has her own plans, a future she wants to forge on her own merits, but know that will not happens under her fathers thumb.

    Not long after her arrival she it attacked and injured, through no fault of her own, but she was warned, for her own safety, when Principal Byrne intercedes on her behalf, there’s an instant connection.

    That connection is taken up a notch when Principal Byrne subjects Eva to deliciously naughty punishments at his hands, literally, to teach her lessons in obedience, his control on a thin wire, ready to snap.

    Eva feels something for Oakley, she asks him if he feels the same in return, he lets her down, because he knows nothing can come from it, he’s the Principal and she’s the student, but he has no choice to deny his feelings, for she is the pawn in his plan to get back at her parents.

    As Oakley and Eva begin to learn about each other, Oakley learns that Eva is nothing like her parents, that she didn’t want to be at the Academy, that this is not the life she wants, but a life she wants to forge for herself to become a veterinarian, Oakley begins to have second thoughts of his plan to seek vengeance, but his friends put him back on him path of righteousness.

    Oakley can no longer deny his feelings for Eva, and she him, and in one white hot moment they give into each other, claiming her virtue in a night of hot unbridled searing passion. Eva test’s Oakley’s control at every turn, making him jealous and possessive but he always gets his way.

    And then in one moment everything changes when Eva learns the truth, about why she’s at the Academy, who Oakley really is and the reason why he is doing what he is doing, but that all changes when he admits that he loves her and that she loves him, and the only way she can get the future she wants is by marrying Oakley in secret.

    When her parents show up they try to force her hand, only it’s there hand she forces and in the ensuing chaos her mother becomes collateral damage, much to her fathers distaste. When school resumes Principal Byrne has no choice but to come clean about the events that ensued, raising some eyebrows respectively.

    Oakley returns home with Eva by his side, ready to face his past, only to learn that his father, brother and sister have lost there life in an accident, Eva comforts him in his time of need, but knows that what happened was out of his control, with Eva by his side he finally has a future to look forward to with the woman he loves.

    This story is told from different POV, it will take you on a wild ride, having you turn page after page. This book had me from beginning to end, it told a telling story, this author definitely knows how to write.

    This book has it all student/ teacher romance, forbidden, passion, roller coaster of emotions, drama, action, friendship, family, love, loyalty, acceptance, jealousy, madness, mayhem, intrigue, revenge, violence, adrenaline seeking suspense, twists, turns, truths.

    Reading this story, it enables the readers to really connect with the characters, and as the story unfolds the readers see the development and growth from the characters singularly and together. 

    And those s*x scenes including those BDSM elements were steamy, yet sensual, dirty, hot, intense, physical, provocative, it had all the angry angst, hate, pleasure and passion one would except. Oakley aims to give Eva the pleasure she deserves, his possessive and obsessive need for control and dominance, it was off the charts and had all of the feels.

    Eva’s relationship with Oakley grows in strength, their trust in each other building, but they work together in there own way, because nothing and no one will get between Eva and her alpha dominating, controlling, yet overly possessive husband. She loves him and he loves her, regardless of all their differences, because they are in this together, their happily ever after, both getting the happiness they deserve.

    Fast-paced with very hot scenes set in a mafia Academy. I like the fact that this book is stand alone with a HEA but that it introduces characters that you know will get their own books.
