Cursed Academy (Year One)

A Supernatural Academy Romance

De: Holly Hook

Narrado por: Louise Cooksey

One academy prepares the lucky descendants of Greek gods for a life of power and privilege. Another must teach the descendants of mythical monsters how to serve their betters. When the Greek gods mysteriously woke up twenty years ago, everyone with divine blood gained magic. Everyone dreams of that rare, sacred invite to the Olympian Academy. A small-town, awkward klutz like me has no chance of an invite. I can only hope to escape working in my grandmother's dusty convenience store after graduation.

But when I accidentally summon a void that almost eats my so-called friend, my tracker finds me. Ronin.

Insanely gorgeous, descended from Zeus, and out of my league, he sweeps me out of my boring life. Of course, there's a catch. Only some magical people go to Olympian. Others get sent to Cursed Academy, where the descendants of dark gods and monsters train to serve. Guess what? I’m unlucky. Cursed Academy, here we come. But maybe that’s not the end of it. I have a type of magic no one’s seen before, and even though Ronin goes to Olympian next door, he keeps finding me. And now he’s my tutor. That’s good, even if he's annoying. Someone is trying to kidnap me thanks to my unique magic, and maybe they’re already on campus. With nowhere else to turn, I need Ronin’s help. Can I deal with the terrifying truth about myself and my powers?

Entertaining Supernatural Academy Story

This was my first experience with this author's work, and it was an entertaining story. I admired the worldbuilding regarding the supernatural beings and magic system. I enjoyed the relationship development between Giselle and Ronin. I liked all the twists and turns. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I thought Louise Cooksey's narration was great as her performance kept my attention. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

enjoyed

Two academies and Giselle was taken to cursed academy while other things are going on. Everyone seemed to want to find out her powers and use her for their own purposes.

Interesting Start

to the series. I really loved the overall premise of this and the academies. The characters were interesting an there is just enough mystery to keep you in suspense. There is a little cliffhanger but overall it's a fun story with great characters and good narration.
