About this listen
A magical prince wants to date me, but there's one problem. This prince has claws.
Everyone at Shadow Hills Academy desires the dark and powerful Jarron Blackthorn. But I'm the only one who has seen the terrifying beast beneath his magical façade.
When my sister is murdered, and the case mysteriously dropped, I know where to begin my own investigation—Shadow Hills Academy, an elite school for supernaturals. Technically, I have zero magic, but just enough skills with potions to be accepted. Now I have the means to get close to the most likely culprits—powerful people like the demon prince Jarron.
I was friends with Jarron years ago, before I saw his true form, but I'm still shocked when he reacts to news of my sister's death with a determination for vengeance. He has a plan to help me get access to Elite Hall, where the most powerful students reside—by pretending to date me.
Dating a demon was NOT how I expected this year to start, but his plan will work. Hang on the arm of Jarron Blackthorn and everyone in school will be so desperate for my friendship they'll spill their secrets.
I just have to make sure Jarron never learns he is my number one suspect.
Keep your enemies close, right?

For a foster kid with only slightly above-average grades, it feels like a pipe dream. Except it seems that someone is looking out for Ophelia after all. When an unexpected opportunity to attend Montridge University arises, she thinks her life is finally taking a turn for the better.

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.

Violence in Samael’s club is an automatic death sentence… unless he can use you.

Tarnishing our family name by being a powerless angel… that's the legacy I'll leave behind. After years of failed placement tests, and with the time limit to find my magic breathing down my neck, I've come to accept my fate. When the clock ticks zero, I'll have my wings brutally ripped from my body and be cast down to live with the humans. Rejected, alone, and afraid. When a man from my past reappears, he tells me there's a different option… another life I could lead, at his side.

Story
Air may not pummel, scorch, and drown like the other elemental magics, but with Arabella wielding it, it might be the strongest power. When the Queen reveals the heir to her throne will be determined by a competition rather than birthright, the first born Prince of Earth's rage quakes the palace, and Arabella feels the shock to her bones. Trials between four siblings—four elements—are bound to be quite the show. Enough to distract from escalating problems throughout the continent. Arabella will already have a new title soon, but her betrothal does not change the fact that she must compete.

Story
From the moment I walked away from my old life and started a new one in the small town of Shadowvale, I learned there were three rules I should follow if I wanted to survive—One: don’t go outside at night alone. Two: don’t ask questions about the obviously haunted house at the far side of town. And three: don’t catch Hunter Reed’s attention. Me? I broke all three almost immediately. The Reeds own Shadowvale. They live in the haunted house, and everyone seems afraid of them

Story
Since moving to Mystic Harbor, Maine, I've made it my life's mission to avoid Reese Blackburn at all costs. Sure, he has cheekbones that could cut glass, not to mention bedroom eyes that could melt any girl into a puddle on the floor. Too bad that doesn't change the fact he's completely stab-worthy. When a fun night out on the town turns deadly, I quickly discover the quaint little hamlet of Mystic Harbor houses more than sandy beaches and adorable B&Bs. Beneath the New England charm rests a world where shifters, demons, vampires, and angelic hunters all vie for power.

I wanted to like it more
I’m about a third through and had to take a break. The premise is interesting enough, but it’s just missing something.
The narrator’s voice itself is easy to listen to, the production quality and editing are good. (No breathing noises, gulping, ambient noise, etc). But there are some odd words and enunciations; it’s difficult to say if this is a narrator error, or an author error.
The storytelling is a bit juvenile for something containing adult themes and marketed to an adult audience, while also considering the main characters are teens in a school setting.
The little bit of world building I did get through seemed solid and I enjoyed the variety of characters and their presentation within their social hierarchy.
I hope to revisit the story and maybe continue to the end later. Perhaps I’ll have more stars then.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
