My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place. Or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods.or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.
And then there's Jaxon Vega. A prince. A vampire. An annoyingly kissable boy who hasn't felt a thing in over a hundred years. But there's a darkness to him. A secret craving that threatens to consume him whole.
Which could spell death for us all.
Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I'm wondering if I was brought here intentionally-as the bait.
This one took me a little while to get into but once I did I flew through it! The first 100 pages were a bit of a struggle and it felt like I was making no progress. Then next thing I knew I was 400 pages in and didn't want to stop. I read from page 79 straight to the end in one day.
The scene that finally captured my attention was when Jaxon sent Grace breakfast in bed and a copy of Twilight. I laughed out loud at work. I loved the humor of this book and was giggling to myself throughout much of it.
I cared about the characters- and I mean all of the characters, I cared about Macy and Flint just as much as I cared about Grace and Jaxon.
Jaxon reminded me a lot of Selwyn from Legendborn. I can't place finger on why but they just seemed similar to me. Which is a good thing as I love Selwyn.
This book doesn't take itself too seriously which I appreciate. There were times when Grace was straight up saying how crazy her life had become and that she felt like she was living in a YA novel, which made me chuckle.
I dived straight into the second book and can't wait to continue with this series.
