Academy of Assassins by Stacey Brutger

Academy of Assassins (Academy of Assassins, #1)

by Stacey Brutger

ONLY ONE THING STANDS BETWEEN HUMANS AND THE DEADLY SUPERNATURAL WORLD…THE ACADEMY OF ASSASSINS.

Abandoned as a child and unable to remember her past, Morgan was raised as a hunter, one of an elite group of fighters sworn to protect humans from the dangerous paranormal creatures who invade our world…creatures such as herself. Her life changes the day she’s summoned to the Academy of Assassins, a school that trains witches and hunters to eradicate paranormals who prey on humans. Her first assignment—find and eliminate the killer who is using the Academy as their own personal hunting ground.

As Morgan delves deeper into the investigation, she will need to dodge assassination attempts, avoid the distraction of romantic entanglements with the devilishly handsome security expert, Kincade, and his maddeningly overprotective teammates, while keeping the volatile magic in her blood concealed from those who would use it for their own purposes. When the danger increases and the school is threatened, Morgan must unearth her missing memories before someone finishes the job they started so long ago—killing her and unleashing a plague that will consume the world.

I had no idea this was a reverse harem. I hate that crap. I would've avoided it if I'd had known. That being said, this was an easy enough read. It flowed well, the action was constant and the writing enjoyable. The plot was a bit of a mess - I didn't really understand the world but it's easy enough to ignore my confusion. It kind of reminds me of a bad version of the Steel and Stone series by Annette Marie. Which had a lot of the same concepts but much better executed and without the reverse harem. The characters were a bit flat - they weren't really properly fleshed out and obviously, the connection between all of them was just insta everything. Didn't really ring true. So yeah, if we're going on tastes one star. But I don't rate on taste - I rate on readability and my objective opinion, in which case a solid 2 stars, maybe even 2.5. If instalove doesn't bother you 3 stars.
