Blurb:Deadly monsters live in all of us.
The Academy of Six has just never seen a monster as terribly mundane as Izara Castillo. And that is a dangerous problem. She has four semesters to not only understand her supernatural abilities, but harness them as well.
Everything at the Academy is a disaster, from Interdimensional Travels through hell to the other hell they like to call Gym.
Bullies push her, test her, and simply try to kill her. A few broodingly protective roommates and a scary fake boyfriend could help. Or make her life impossibly harder.
Pretend to date the emotionally detached demon, they said. What’s the worst that could happen, they said.
It’s make or break within this prison of a school. If she succeeds, she’ll finally know what she’s capable of, who she truly is, and where she came from.
If she fails…she dies.
This is Reverse Harem series containing M/M themes. Recommended for readers 18 and over.
I read a LOT of RH books, preferably dark romance ones. But the paranormal YA RH ones are the BEST! Especally if the female shares within her harem, like this one! I know, I’m a dirty dirty girl. LOL ::shrugs::
This one had it all. Lots of steamy chemistry, bullying, great world building, mystery and of course….a hidden monster inside of Izara that will kill her if she doesn’t learn to control it before her two years are up.
Like, what more could you want!
This one started a bit slow and one of her harem is bit rough around the edges but it picked up about a quarter in. It is a slow burn, which most RH I read are, but this one has an added mystery of the monster living inside her and other students trying to kill her. It all blended together quite well.
The ending was unpredictable and totally threw me for a loop. I’m very excited for finish this series.
Looks interesting! Added to my TBR mountain. Loving that cover.
Right! I love when the cover is as interesting as the book.
