About this listen
At the Academy of the Gods, winner takes all and the games are about to begin.
The name's Kore, daughter of Demeter, crown goddess of spring, but you can call me Kory.
Along with my invitation to attend the elite Olympus Academy where all the top deities send their brats for training, comes the news that I'm betrothed to Hades, tall, dark, and brooding god of the underworld.
I'd much rather be Queen Bee of my girl gang back home, slinging panaceas to spoiled rich Olympians, but I have three years to enjoy my life before I'm ruling the denizens of hell at Hades' side and I refuse to waste it making him look good.
Turns out, my betrothed has a gang of his own. The Triad, made up of Hades, Loki, and Fenrir, rules the school and they expect me to bow down like everyone else.
Sure, Janus. Cue eyeroll.
The three of them share everything, and when I humiliate Hades my first night at the Academy by making the tiniest immortal faux pas, their lust turns to cruelty and they start to edge in on my side hustle, but that's fine with me. Four can play at that game.

Story
As the daughter of Dracula, you would think I’d be born the perfect monster. You couldn’t be more wrong. As far as monsters go, I’m a screw up—if I’m not tripping over my own feet, I’m accidentally murdering someone (it’s a real issue, guys). Left with no choice, Dad decides to send me to Prodigium—otherwise known as Monster Academy—to train me on how to be a better monster. When bodies turn up on campus, I’m the prime suspect (not that I can blame them).

But all of that was turned upside down the moment they showed up. The best friend from my past. The surly brooder. The kindhearted nerd. The king of campus. The dark one.

Summoned by The Hex to test my humanity, I was prepared to fail, destined to be the same mundane girl. I was wrong. Pandora’s Box called to me, sensing a magic I never knew existed. With my world turned upside down and full of possibilities, I must now call Paradise Heights home. To live amongst supernaturals, attend Saints Academy, and find my place.

All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

Story
My whole life has been characterized by fighting; fighting my family and fighting for my life. Trust me—the first one is completely voluntary, and a lot of fun. The second? Not so much. To say my family dynamic is weird is the understatement of the century. I held my first sword when I was only five years old, and I learned how to dispose of a body before I turned ten. I may have a penchant for pink and sparkles…but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to kick major ass as well.

Welcome to Fate Hollow Academy, where supernaturals blessed by the Fates cultivate their manifested powers and master ancient magic. Fate Hollow is the academy of the elite, where supernatural beings with special magic train for war against humans. A big-hearted, naïve arctic fox shifter like me couldn’t have prepared for the treachery lurking within the walls of the academy. Students were going missing or turning up dead on campus and rumors circulated about humans infiltrating academy grounds.

They think I’m half angel and half human. They think I have no magic. They think that because I grew up in the human world, I’m clueless about what to expect at Seraphim Academy. They’re wrong. I’m not half human. I’m half demon. And this little succubus has come to play. My brother vanished from Seraphim Academy without a trace, and I’ll do whatever it takes to find him, including infiltrating the school myself. Even if it means going up against my brother’s best friends. They may be angel royalty, but if they think they can intimidate me into leaving, they’re wrong.

After surviving childhood at the snooty, stuck-up boarding school for budding omegas, I have everyone convinced I'm a dud. My awakening? Never gonna happen. Heat, mates, and a fairytale pack life? Maybe next reincarnation. All I want is to be left alone. I'm invisible, and headed to a blissful solo future until the Wyvern Pack destroys my dream of independence. But Atlas, Hunter, Finn, Jett, and Orion are poison candy. They don't want an omega, but they need one, even if there will never be a real spot for me in their pack.

I rejected my fated mate, and didn’t regret it for a second. Until now. Shipped off to Ravenscroft University, a graduate school for the supernatural elite, I have a lot to live up to. As heir to America’s most powerful pack, I was locked away. Not to be protected, but because I was born broken. A disappointment. A wolf who couldn’t shift. This is supposed to be my fresh start, but my past won’t leave me alone. Not when he’s here.

Welcome to Half Death Academy. That's what they call my new school - because only half the students survive. Rule number one: Keep your head down and don't mess with the four gorgeous demigods who rule the school. Rule number two: When the demigods try to kill you, lie down and die.Too bad I never was very good at following the rules. And when my forbidden power awakens, I'll make them regret they tried to make me their bitch.

Six years ago, I awoke in a cage with no knowledge of who I was or where I’d come from. Six years ago, I was spared the flesh markets and instead thrown in with a group of savages, where I learned it was fight or die. Now, eight Orders of Assassins are converging on the only home I’ve ever known. All in hopes of purchasing new blade slaves for their ranks. I’m for sale, yet all I want is a life far from death and ownership. Then I meet them, the Order of Scorpions. Their allure is a threat to the freedom I crave, but I won’t fall victim to their sting, no matter how tempting it might be.

By the time I walk through the doors of the academy, where the born shifters of every pack are trained to fight and lead, I’m famous. Infamous? One of those. I’ve already fought a battle or two. And my family’s complicated relationships with magic, which has been long forbidden to wolves, isn’t popular with all the packs. I guess I should’ve said this is the place for born male shifters. There aren’t a lot of shifters like me, with flat irons and skinny jeans packed in their bags.

Since I started school at Nocturne Academy, strange happenings have befallen me. The weird key-shaped necklace I found at a flea market chokes me every time I try to take it off. Also, a tall, blindingly beautiful and bitingly sarcastic Nocturne has the lock that matches it. His name is Griffin Darkheart, and - like this freaking necklace - I can't seem to stay away from him, though he's being Censured for mysterious crimes.

Just like all little girls, I hoped I was special and that one day my powers would be revealed. My parents would be bewildered, my friends would equally worship and envy me, and my bullies would run away in terror! Nothing happened when I turned 10. I didn't grow wings at 12, still wasn't able to make things move with my mind at 14, and at 16, I was already too old to believe in such nonsense. Well, what do you think happened the day I turned 18? I got the confirmation that I was only human. In the mail! Oh, and also an invitation to apply to the Grim Reaper Academy.

Setting the scene for the next book great introduction
This was a good introduction to this new series, I love that the character is a strong woman even if the constant hazing got a bit much, I was hoping for a bit more of a love hate vibe but this was developing slowly. I’ll get the next book and see where the story takes me. Some interesting characters I’m looking forward to some more world building and character development and more chemistry between her and any love interests. This book had some unexpected twists which was great not so predictable.

Might as well have had one narrator
Am on the second book one hour left. Books could have been compiled to one. Repetition of the different issues that could have just been mentioned once then again with conclusion. Wanted to like it but just couldn’t, ending up just speeding through the story to see it end. Has to speed up anyway because why are both of them talking so dang slow.
Final Is it Kory or Korray?

Great!
This was a quick series to read, I listened, the male narrator was a bit off but I enjoyed it. Very quick paced- it could have been one book. The romance was really better paced for this having been one large book. I liked the characters and the lore spin. Overall pretty enjoyable.

Poorly executed series. Should be one book.
Please Note: This review encompasses the entire series but contains no spoilers.
The overall arching plot line/ idea is what drew me in and kept reading through the various books. Sadly, this does not entirely make up for the issues with consistency, lack of connections in scattered plot points, little or no motivations behind character’s actions, and more.
The overall series lacks follow through on several plot points that are set up as foreshadowing that could have given great interest to the story as a whole. Sadly, none of these moments of foreshadow take place.
The characters themselves are all written well with the exception of Hades. He comes across as a spoiled rich kid fitting certain tropes of this kind of character. His narration could also have something to do with this character and their choices coming off as a bit cringeworthy, eye rolling at the least.
I am a major fan of combining different mythos and storylines so that they can coincide and mingle well with one another. However, one can not simply skip over known mythos in ways that create incestuous relationships just to use certain characters. Additionally, renaming Persephone “Kore” or “Kory” was not a welcome change to the mythos- particularly when no other famous mythological character has been renamed.
Lastly, all three books could have been written as one. They are each labeled as “semesters”. One would assume that these would then take place in different semesters, however the timeline is so muddled that there is no clear marker of what semester we are in. There are three books, but what seems like two semesters. Additionally, there is not a large enough story arc and cliff hanger within each book to make a series necessary.
Overall, the ideas behind the storyline are very, very good. Just poorly executed. I do not find these books to be worth their three credits, though you might.
