Synopsis

When the adults of Brockton, Connecticut, morphed into bloodthirsty monsters nine months ago, the students at Jefferson High barricaded themselves inside their school. Now eighteen-year-old Kay is trying to keep her classmates from starving.

Kay has no poker face and can't keep her mouth shut, so when she learns a secret that threatens the delicate power balance at Jefferson, she's dragged out of the school in a secret assassination attempt.

But when a raiding party of cheerleaders from crosstown rival Moore High comes to her rescue, Kay finds herself among ruthless, hard-partying road warriors who have adopted the feudal trappings of a video game. Life at Moore is violent and cliquish, but everyone is thriving—everyone who survives the monster hunts. For Moore's beloved King Max demands two things: absolute fealty and that everyone help kill the "dragons."

If Kay wants to survive, she must be granted asylum at Moore—which means slaying dragons, not asking the wrong questions, and navigating the rival factions, love triangles, and political intrigues. But when Kay discovers a deadly secret, her inability to hide the truth might spark the revolution that burns both schools to the ground.

The Merciless King of Moore High by Lily Sparks was a joy to read. Captivating at every turn, it never lagged and had excellent pacing. But where it truly shines is its entirely unique premise. Going in knowing the success of Lily Sparks’ previous series, I was concerned that we’d see a similar cast......more

Goodreads review by Hallie (thecommonroomshop) on December 09, 2023

This book was strange, intriguing and magnetic. I was giddy with the the “what the actual hell?!!” feelings it gave me. One of my favorite genres of media is an apocalyptic / lord of the flies / end of the world type story. Not sure what this says about me, but all things aside this book is ALL OF T......more

Goodreads review by Sasha on November 12, 2023

I unhinged my jaw and swallowed this book whole. Once again, Lily Sparks has written the kind of book that made me fall in love with reading in the first place. This story is so daringly griping and brutal, that it's impossible to put down. This feels like Euphoria meets Game Of Thrones in the most......more
