Rating/Warning(s): Mature, sexual situations
Genre: AU, Romance, drama
WIP?:no

Why This Must Be Read: the plot is brilliantly original and the OCs introduced to enrich the story are solid and well-characterized. It's an AU where Kathryn and Sebastian's parents never married and our two favorite schemers meet in wholly different circumstances. Borrowing the idea of The Tribunal from Cruel Intentions 2, kerimack creates a more coherent (and intriguing) version of events where Kathryn commands her little elite, controlling whole the school until the new student Sebastian comes along and challenges her power.

The ensuing clash of wills is long and harsh, expressed through a series of highly enjoyable and machiavellian plots at each other expense. Especially when the mutual lust and admiration changes into something more powerful, and Sebastian is in the very difficult position of convince Kathryn that they can be vulnerable to each other and still stay strong.

Why This Must Be Read: This story begins where the movie left us off, except few years went by since Kathryn was exiled by Manhattan after her step-brother's tragic death. The memory of Sebastian, and the ambiguity-prone, darkly mesmerizing relationship they once shared secretly haunts her still, and yet the one thing on Kathryn mind is using her new found fortune and success to bring down every single person who ever humiliated her. The one thing she never took in account is the possibility of Sebastian coming back into her life and their dance of betrayls and desire beginning once more.
I love how this author manages to get a good handle on both main characters ' machiavellian deviousness and still keeping them human, vulnerable to nothing but each other. Great noir plot, great lovestory, great characterization.
