Krammin’ with a Kraken

Slaymore Academy, Book 1

De: Darci R. Acula, Sedona Ashe, Starling Dax

Narrado por: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

Ever been tickled by a tentacle? Neither had he....

I’m a kraken, but that’s a secret between you and me, okay? Don’t go betraying me or I might blame you for slaying me. Well, you and whichever trophy hunter thinks they can take me down.

I’m just on land to graduate from Slaymore Academy with honors—how hard can it be?

Turns out…really, really hard.

Wink wink.

Regardless, I’m determined to stay focused. I’m going to learn from the best so I can return to the Bering Sea and make it safer for all the species who call it home.

It’s important that I closely guard my secret, so that when I reveal myself, I can prove the point that krakens aren’t the mindless monsters we’ve been made out to be.

And finally, I’m determined to not fall in love. Who needs that distraction—especially with so much on the line? Contrary to what my parents believe, I’m not just a baby-maker or a pawn to marry off in exchange for an alliance. I’m going to make a change for the krakens.

But Fate’s an evil son-of-a-you-know-what who’s been meddling in my business. Now, I’ve caught the eye of the campus’ golden boy…and he’s determined to find a way past my barriers and into my heart.

Poor guy has no idea what he’s getting into. Will he accept me when he learns the truth?

And most importantly…I wonder how he feels about tentacles?

Krammin’ with a Kraken is the first book in the Slaymore Academy series. The steam builds a little slower than some of my other books, but when it kicks in, there is plenty of heat in the bedroom…and other places.

Each book in the Slaymore Academy series is a standalone, featuring a different girl struggling to fit in with the rest of her species, who finds herself at Slaymore. Every book in this series will end with a HEA, so no cliffhangers! Also, some of the girls may pop up in each other’s books. Since these books feature various paranormals who possess a variety of abilities, the steamy parts of the books will definitely take advantage of those skills.

I liked the narration of the story.

The story was great too. I actually listened to this book because the narrators narrated a favorite book of mine. I'm glad I did because it was a great listen. Sounds like this is a series I'll look into.

Not long enough

This book was fabulous but it was not long enough! I want so much more from this couple, from this world and the narrators. Seta is a Kraken. I love a good Kraken story and couldn’t wait to dive in. Dayious from the moment he graced the story has my heart. What an amazing guy with a heart of gold. It’s sweet it’s funny splashed with heat and just a great storyline. Honestly my only complaint is I wanted more. More in the main story because it was so good and just a bit more on the end. Day leaves off making a huge sacrifice and I feel like an epilogue of that amazing act of courage would have wrapped this up with a big beautiful bow

Alot of fun..

Fun story, interesting setting.
I would have loved a bit more detail about the various magical species.. Still very solid.

Original ✨

I love it when a storyline can be so original and nothing that I have read before. I’ve never read a book to do with Kraken or the Kraken species at all. I think it was inspiring to have a university that had so many mythical creatures and allowed this one to be allowed at the school. The characters were unique and the setting was realistic. The storyline went at a good pace. Sidenote, I absolutely loved the succubus that was the best friend character. I wish that there could be a story based on her.

A good listen

This was a really interesting story and I definitely want to check out the next story from the academy once it’s out! I do wish we got an epilogue of the meeting with the family though!

Nice flip with the girl being the monster

Quick listen I really enjoyed. I’m actually happy there wasn’t instant abandon friend love and that our guy first asked questions with his friend before choosing.
