Trouble Maker : an addictive plot?

Like many successful novels of recent years, the “romance” genre is making a comeback. Trouble Maker tells the story of June, a young girl who is a victim of harassment in her high school and violence at home. In this dark daily life, June has only one dream: to be able to leave at the end of her year. One evening, while she is alone at home, June is robbed. One of the thieves sees her and advises her to keep quiet and hide, thus saving her life.

Several weeks after this event, a new teacher, named Shayn, arrives at the high school and June knows the face of this man well: he is the thief seen at her house a few months earlier. To ensure that the young woman keeps quiet, the man is ready to intimidate June in any way he can, but she does not let it happen. A dangerous game that could lead them to see their destiny turned upside down and their secrets resurface. Here, no spoilers, so we will spare you the summary of the plot of the second volume, released a few days ago. As you will have understood, the saga Trouble Maker is addictive and we bet that you will devour both novels very soon. So, are you tempted?
