Avalon Tower

Fey Spy Academy, Book 1

De: C.N. Crawford, Alex Rivers

Narrado por: Amanda Leigh Cobb

Avalon Spy Academy rules: spy on the fey, resist falling for your mentor, and try not to die in the process.

I spent five years saving up for a European vacation. But instead of drinking champagne on the beach, I get swept into a war of espionage between the humans and the fey.

It turns out, I have a magic power needed to fight an evil fey king. I'm quickly whisked off to an elite spy academy in a hidden realm. There, in the ancient and gothic halls of Avalon Tower, snobbery and brutal competitions are among the oldest traditions.

As if I didn't have enough trouble, my new mentor is Raphael Launcelot, a maddeningly sexy demi-fey who already ruined my life once. I can't fall for him again. Romance is forbidden here; a distracted spy is a dead spy. So I need to push his dangerous allure out of my mind as we travel into the Fey realm. If we get captured, we’ll die horrific deaths–and humanity won’t stand a chance.

If you liked Frost and City of Thorns, you will love Avalon Tower.

I love how this book was written

I like how she went into detail throughout the book without wasting time. Story was fast paced and pulled me into the world.

BookTok Was Right—This Story Hooked Me!

What a fun and surprising listen! I should’ve trusted the BookTok recommendation from the start—this one definitely lived up to the hype. While this book serves more as a prelude to the action-packed second installment, it lays the foundation for an incredible story that’s absolutely worth the wait.

At its core, this is the journey of how a seemingly simple girl becomes a spy, revealing the secrets of her past and the reason behind her importance. Add in a forbidden love story that teeters on the edge of disaster, and you’ve got a plot full of tension, twists, and emotional stakes.

I can’t wait to dive into Book Two and see where it all leads!

Worth the Hype

Great narrator and I loved the story! It’s giving Fireborne and Legendborn with a dash of spice. Everyone said book 2 is better but I really liked this book and now I’m really looking forward to book 2.

4⭐️

Easy to follow the plot, good spice, action, and the twist at the end was not expected.

Never invested in characters

The story had potential , but it never really took off for me. The characters had little depth and very little chemistry between FMC and MMC. Maybe you’ll enjoy this if you just want a mindless, fun read. The 2nd book is supposed to be better. Not sure if it’s worth moving to the next.

I did like the narrator though.
