A Hellish Year One

Academy of the Devil, Book 1

De: Eva Brandt

Narrado por: Lauren Sweet

For as long as I can remember, I've been the girl who didn't fit in, the girl who collapsed in the middle of class, just because my brain decided to turn on me. I can't really complain, though. We don't live in the Middle Ages, so I have yet to be subjected to an exorcism. I can get treatment for my condition. Epilepsy aside, I can mostly be a normal person and have a normal life.

There's just one problem. I'm not a normal person. I never have been. And the first time I find this out is upon receiving an exclusive invitation to The Academy of the Devil.

Unfortunately, The Academy of the Devil isn't like other schools and the current princes of the school have a lot of experience in ripping whatever contender they have to shreds. All of them despise humans. All of them sneer at anyone who displays any kind of weakness. All of them hate me and everything I stand for. That's fine. I don't need friends, lovers, or even valued mentors. All I need is to survive my school years with my soul, my sanity and my brain intact. It'll be a challenge, but I've dealt with worse. I might not be ready for the Academy of the Devil, but they're not ready for me either.

Contains mature themes.

Keeping me invested

Certainly different. This book definitely has twists in terms. There are a lot of cruel elements here of course but can you get by the title… However, with that said I am invested in a book. It is good. It does have twist and turns
There are characters that you love and love to hate and then vice versa overall on the book too it was good

Strong fmc

Enjoyed! So over the whiny female characters! This one is better than the crap people are pushing down our throats on TikTok. Looking forward to book 2 and 3.

A Surprise

Overall I liked the story, the sex scenes werent for me but some may really get into it. I had no idea what a reverse harem RH story was until this book. If you like a strong woman this is it. If you don't like graphic intense sex scenes fast forward those parts.

Great Dark RH bully Romance

I am a RH addict. As such i can honestly say that i enjoyed this series when i read it, and find it equally as enjoyable to listen to. The start is a little slow for me but by the end of the first book i was invested. Later it is a darker very dirty romance, and i can't wait to hear more.

This is the best story I have ever heard!!!

It is INSANE how much this story resembles me. I have Epilepsy, I have Migraines, I have a German Shepherd Husky Dog. The only difference is she is a girl lol. The more I read, the more I’d swear this book is about me. I couldn’t stop listening and with it being 8 hours, it caused me to have one of my migraines but it was well worth it. Seriously, I have always studied demonology and try to imagine my life what it would of been like if I was strong when people bullied me. How it would been if I fought back. I can’t wait to read the next book

Different Theme

I really enjoyed the plot and the reader. It was a very enjoyable listen and I cried when the dog died.

Good listen

The story is good, but it always boggles my mind how people can be towards others. The lead character was strong, and I can't wait to listen to the other books.

GOTS TO LOVEEE THIS STORY

I usually cringe reading certain academy books but I love this one!!!!!!! Great book guys.

So far so good…

Someone said in an earlier review that there was a lot of sex in this book. Apparently they have not read a dirty book yet because yes, it was mentioned a couple times, but it wasn’t hot and heavy like some of the stuff that’s out there. I kept waiting for the story to take off and I’m hoping that’s what happens in book 2. This book is nothing but a buildup I feel like.
