Summary
My name is Crystal Dolce, and I’m anything but sweet...
It’ll be easy, my father said. When we move to a small town in the south, we’ll own it, my brothers said. After all, my family is rich as sin and used to getting whatever they want. How hard could it be? Except, when we arrive in Faulkner, someone already owns this town.
The Darling family.
They are every bit as wealthy as we are, and they’re not happy with our new money moving in. The three Darling cousins, each one more cruel and gorgeous than the last, rule the halls of Willow Heights the way my brothers ruled our prep school in Manhattan. None is worse than Devlin Darling, who makes it his personal mission to ruin his new rivals.
The Darlings see my brothers as a threat. They want them gone. It doesn’t take them long to find my brothers’ one weakness.
Me.
Note: Bully Me is a high school dark romance suitable for listeners 18+.

Intriguing
I loved the narration, with the beautifully performed distinctive tones for each individual character making this book a joy to listen to.
The story is a great addition to the recent trend in the bully genre.
Crystal is a very confused young woman and I eagerly await the next book to see what that has in store for her, hopefully some

Not for me
Narration is great, and the story wasn't bad, but it just wasn't me.
The story is build on a very sexist view. The FMC is oppressed by her father and brothers (they can do whatever they want but she can"t), and her being hummiliated and assaulted is seen as much more acceptable than the male characters being humiliated or assaulted.
Later on in the story what the potential love interest does to the FMC is assault and extremely wrong. However the FMC seems to not really think about it.... She seems very oppressed and naive and I like my FMC's strong so I won't buy any other books in the series.

Young bullies.
I found this an uncomfortable listen. It is a well written story and the narrator is good but I really struggled with the content. I have read/listened to other bully stories, but, for me, the bullying was beyond acceptable. I felt truly bad for Crystal while wanting to both shake her and protect her. Devlin was pretty vile and I wonder how he can actually become an acceptable hero! This ends on a cliffhanger, so there is time.

Ummm what?
This story is seriously intense. It is very dark, but the story keeps you hooked. The narration really fit the story, and the plot is just so intense. I love bully romances.. and this one is definitely that. I cannot wait to listen to more.

Perfect for the HS Bully lovers!!
Welcome to Willow Heights Prep, where the students rule the hallways and the teachers look the other way.
The Dolces
Chrystal, a born and raised New Yorka and her brothers have been uprooted and sent to Arkansas to live with Daddy. Leaving behind their status as the Royalty of their High School. Only to end up fight for their status again. Only thing is, Chrystal, just wants to be normal. This is her chance to start over. And she will do everything it takes to do just that.
The Darlings
Colt, Devlin and Preston. They are Willow Heights Royalty. They are not going to let a bunch of city boys come into the picture and take anything from them. Even if they bring with them a beautiful temptress.
The story is very interesting and at time you will scream WTF!! And even more when you get to that cliffie at the end. Which really had me screaming b/c I was in the middle of the highway listening when it was poof over.
I read this some time ago and then did a re-read in the form of an audiobook. The narrator was great. She hit the New York accents and southern ones perfectly.
Audio ARC provided and I decided to leave an honest review.

A Darling 4 Stars
I received this audiobook via a promo code from StoryO and this is my voluntary review.
Performance is single POV by Amanda L'Orien and I really enjoyed it.
Crystal Dolce is the only daughter of a maybe Mafia-linked Dolce boss, and along with her brothers, shes been relocated from NYC to Arkansas. While she had been looking forward to a new start, the move doesnt go as smoothly as she had hoped when her brothers end up competing with The Darlings for King status of her new school. Making HER the new target when she gets dubbed The Darling's Dog. (an aspect of this book which I personally disliked. I normally enjoy the Bully Trope but I really disliked Devlins character and didn't feel invested in their will they/wont they relationship at all. I think this might be because the story is part of a series and the book ends on a cliff hanger, but I honestly feel too much of the story itself wasn't developed in this first book enough for me to really connect with the writing enough to want to know more. Theres a fine line between the enemies to lovers dance between characters and just straight up sensationalized abuse, in this case the story fell flat, might have been more interesting had it been RH?

Twisted
This story is twisted in a lot of ways, like 50 shades of grey meets gossip girl. I have to admit it is not what I expected, but I still want to know what happens next!
