What it’s about
Welcome to the Grimm Academy, a place where legends and nightmares collide, and where the supernatural thrives.
Within these halls, three houses reign supreme, each with its own dark and mysterious story to tell.
In the House of Lycan, primal instincts run deep, and passion burns hot. Shifters of all kinds come to hone their skills, mastering the art of transformation and learning to control their wild natures. But in the shadows, danger lurks, and ancient rivalries threaten to tear apart the pack.
In the House of Ydril, magic and beauty are intertwined, and the faes dance to their own enchanting tunes. Here, they learn to wield the elements, to manipulate time and space, and to weave spells of love and betrayal. But beneath the glamour, a darkness stirs, and a battle between light and dark is brewing.
In the House of Lilith, seduction and danger go hand in hand, and the vampires rule with a deadly grace. Their thirst for blood is unquenched, and their desires are insatiable. But amidst the shadows, forbidden love blooms, and alliances are forged that could change the course of history.
Welcome to the Grimm Academy, where romance and intrigue, danger and desire, collide. Will you join the House of Lycan, the House of Ydril, or the House of Lilith? The choice is yours, but be warned – once you enter these halls, there is no turning back.
What I Thought
I’m grateful that I knew each book in this series can be read as a standalone and doesn’t follow on from the first book. Although I would have liked to read more about the characters from Book 1, the characters in this book were also interesting.
Rhea is a werewolf who can’t accept her wolf due to a family curse and has recently become the target of a stalker. Synn is an ex-convict who has escaped from prison to find out who put him there.
The stalker element is unique and an intriguing twist on the academy trope.
Unlike Book 1, this book didn’t feel as disjointed, though it did have its moments. It was also easy to differentiate between the POVs without having to guess.
