Misfit
Prep, Book 1
Welcome to Sandover Prep, where the delinquents roam…and you can’t trust a soul.
Finding out your mom is marrying some rich dude you’ve never met is enough to make any eighteen-year-old guy’s head spin. But for RJ SHAW, it only gets worse: he’s being sent to Sandover Prep for senior year. If there’s one place a misfit hacker like RJ doesn’t belong, it’s an ivy-covered all-boys boarding school for rich delinquents.
RJ knows his stay at Sandover will be temporary. Which means there’s no point making friends or trying to fit in. But the plan to remain antisocial goes awry when he meets a gorgeous girl in the woods on campus. SLOANE TRESSCOTT is pure temptation, with a sharp tongue and an ice princess attitude RJ’s determined to crack. Except there’s a catch. Sloane is the one girl he is forbidden from touching.
The headmaster’s daughter.
Good thing RJ doesn’t believe in rules. Sure, Sloane insists she’s swearing off guys this year, but their connection is impossible to deny. He wants her bad, and he’s going to win her over if it kills him.
Unless her ex-boyfriend kills him first.
The ruling king of Sandover will stop at nothing to get rid of his competition. Luckily, RJ’s unwittingly made some friends—his new stepbrother FENN, a pretty boy with a self-destructive streak; LAWSON, self-proclaimed agent of chaos; and SILAS, the All-American Good Guy who can’t actually be as nice as he seems.
If RJ wants to survive prep school and win Sloane’s heart, he’ll need to adapt—and fast.

In this new series from Elle Kennedy, Sandover Prep is full of young men (aka bad boys) who know how to get into and out of trouble! And these young men are no ordinary high school students. With power and influence behind them, they see themselves as the misfits sent to Sandover as a delinquency punishment.
RJ and Fenn become stepbrothers in a moment's notice when their parents marry and both shipped to Sandover Prep for their senior year. While these two are standoffish with each other to start, there is a very nice friendship and even brotherhood building between RJ and Fenn. I really liked the interesting dynamics between these two step brothers and I think it's only going to get more interesting based on the last few pages of Misfit and the preview of the next book.
RJ has the misfortune to find one real friend at Sandover -- it's the headmaster's daughter who is off limits to the students at Sandover. Sloane has some of her own baggage she's trying to shake. Her sister was involved in a very suspicious situation and no one quite knows what happened. Sloane bears the responsibility for it too. I liked Sloane. She wasn't a pushover, even though she could have been. She also has sexual agency. She knows what she wants from RJ -- except she didn't know she would fall for him.
In Misfit, RJ and Sloane's relationship is tested and there are plenty of trust issues between these two that they have to work out. With RJ hacking into just about anything that will give him information and power, trust between Sloane and RJ easily gets bruised.
I really enjoyed the reading experience here. The writing is smooth and carries the reader right along the story and I really didn't want to put this down until the end and even after I finished, I had to go back and re-read all my favorite parts.
I love a good boys school story and Misfit satisfied my craving. I'm really looking forward to more of this world. I'm hoping that all the boys get a story, especially over-sexed Lawson who might just be heading toward depraved. The other secondary characters, Fenn and Silas are also interesting and hints are made as to what sent them to Sandover Prep. Can't wait for more of their stories.
So overall, a great start to this series. I'm hooked already.
