Elemental Fae Academy: Book One

By: Lexi C. Foss, J.R. Thorn

Narrated by: Sarah Puckett, Drew Adams, Jay Alder, Silas Hart, Xander Marceaux, Kale Williams

My one piece of advice: Never kiss a stranger.

See, I kind of kissed this sexy man at the bar on a dare once, and it turns out he’s a Royal Fae destined to be my mate. Now I’ve been dragged to the Elemental Fae Academy to control the powers I unlocked that night.

So kissing? Yeah, that won’t happen again. Nope.

Lesson learned. Except, I kind of kissed Titus, too. And well, now, I’m in a world of trouble. I keep burning things down, flooding dorms, and I’ve attracted the campus mean girl brigade.

This Fae Realm is a nightmare come to life. Truly.

But there are dreams here, too.

Sexy ones.

And they’re in the form of five Elemental Fae mentors. They’re supposed to help me control my powers, but who’s going to keep the elements from controlling me?

Note: This is a medium burn reverse harem paranormal romance, and book one of the Elemental Fae Academy trilogy.

Great read

loved this book just got next part. Characters jumped into my life and im reliving parts of the book. The book plays on your sympathies for the underdog and when she fights back it's worth waiting for. I don't know how the next book can top the first one but I'm willing to see right now.

Excellent story

Story is good. Narrator is great. I just forgot that this group of books had too much sex described for my husbands taste.

I love it!

I love this story. This is a nicely told story. The narrator's do a great job telling the story. The story it self holds your attention and is interesting written.

Amazing start to an amazing series!

In ‘Elemental Fae Academy: Book One’, Claire is ripped from her human world—the only one she knows—and thrown into a world where fae and magic are very real. This book does an excellent job of finding balance between her disbelief and culture shock and her eventual acceptance that this new world is indeed real.

As it happens, it’s also slow-burn on the ‘steam’ side of things. While the groundwork is laid perfectly for multiple attractions, and there is some insta-attraction and insta-feels, it plays out at a very comfortable pace that doesn’t make it feel like insta-love. It just fits perfectly for the elemental fae culture, which the authors depict perfectly. If you’re not sure how you feel about reverse harem, or don’t get the ‘why choose’ concept, this book and part of Clarie’s plight is a great place to start.

Character development is advanced. Characters’ individual voices are strong and consistent and you get to know the different personalities and backgrounds easily as this is so well woven into this novel and everything else going on.

Despite this taking place in a non-human realm, it’s still highly relatable. The Elemental Fae Academy is complete with cliques and mean girls, for example, and while the culture is different the intrapersonal interaction is basically what you might expect from such an environment.

The steamy scenes are like no others I’ve read, as the authors manage to work the elements in, making it not just hot, but also intriguing.

The world-building here is perfect. I’m not new to J.R. Thorn, I’m actually a huge fan. But I hadn’t gotten around to reading Lexi C. Foss yet. This book definitely made me realize it’s time to prioritize reading more Foss, as there’s no way either author involved here is capable of producing anything less than awesome. As a reader, I feel extremely lucky that the two have joined forces.

Note:
I listened to this book and the narrator is amazing! Most audiobooks annoy me and I rarely finish them. This one, I never wanted to turn off.

5 addicted stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good start

This was a good start to the Elemental Fae Academy series. A bit of a slower start, but was an enjoyable listen once it built up momentum. Claire not only discovers that she's half fae, but is thrown into a world unlike anything she's known. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
