Crooked Sinners is Callie Hart’s foray into dark academia and bully romance, starting with Riot House in 2020. Set at an exclusive institution where the wealthy and powerful make the rules, the series explores the collision between a new arrival and the students who run the school through intimidation and privilege. The “Riot” titles (Riot House, Riot Rules, Riot Act, Riot Reunion) track the shifting power dynamics and growing attraction between characters who should want nothing to do with each other.
The series ran from 2020 to 2023, with Riot Reunion providing a later follow-up to the original trilogy. Hart brings the same emotional intensity from her other dark romance series into an academic setting, where class divisions and institutional secrets add extra layers of conflict. The four books should be read in order, as each one builds directly on the events of the previous installment.
