Review: Plier by Jane Washington

Title: Plier

Series: Ironside Academy #1

Author: Jane Washington

Ironside is more than a regular academy. It’s also the biggest reality TV show in the world … and a very elaborate, very luxurious prison. Their hallowed halls are ruled by the powerful Betas and the middling Omegas, with the plentiful Deltas as their main targets, but this year, the officials are stirring things up.

Isobel Carter—the only rare Sigma to be accepted—is the first sign. But there are others. Many others. A sudden influx of precious Alphas will turn academy life, and Isobel’s life, upside down. She might be the lowest rung on the ladder, but in order to survive Ironside, where social media is king and consequences are deadly, she will need to make her mark.

She will need to climb.

This isn’t a game for the faint of heart, and those who rise should be prepared for a beautiful, brutal fall.

Beware the pretty posers, because this social media game just got dangerous.


The Hunger Games collides with America’s Got Talent, and you’ve just been invited to binge it all in high definition. But here’s some viewer discretion before you continue:

This book is a “why choose” romance with as many book boyfriends as enemies, so expect a slow-to-medium burn. If you like your omegaverse, reverse harem, and academy troupes twisted and defiled to stretch your imagination, then this is the book for you!

Now it’s time to grab some popcorn and dive right in!

It feels like it’s been so long since I got sucked into a book, like nothing else matters but the book in my hand! I devoured this in 4 hours!!!!

Isobel, a sigma, aka the lowest of the low in the pecking order, is sent by her cruel, domineering Dad to Ironside Academy, which is basically a college where everything is televised.

There she meets Theo, an alpha (the highest in the pecking order), and his 9 all so different friends, also alphas. A strange sort of friendship grows but there’s secrets and plans galore afoot!

Life is not great for Isobel, there’s tradegy and incessant bullying. My heart went out to her but she is so strong, I just loved her!

All I can say was that I was hooked, absolutely loved it and will give it all the stars!

Can’t stop because I need to go and get book 2!!!

Also, you need to read this.
