Story
I was nobody. No matter how hard I tried, I never fit in with anyone at my high school. Now I know why. Turns out I'm a witch. A scary powerful one, too. Except The Coven that claimed me won't teach me how to use my magic. Suddenly, I'm selected by the Goddess to hunt down a mythical locket needed to save the world from destruction. The only person who actually tries to help me is the alarmingly attractive Tennessee. He has immeasurable power and breathtaking mismatched eyes. I'm drawn to him on a level I can't explain...and he's forbidden from getting too close to me.

You know you’re invisible when even your bullies forget to pick on you. That’s me, Bettina Blair, hidden in plain sight. No matter how hard I try, I just never fit in with my classmates. Now I know why. I’m a witch...apparently. One little demon attack and my parents confess their ugly secret…and ship me off to an elite academy of magic—for witches only. I just don't belong here, and Jackson Lancaster keeps reminding me every single chance he gets. This boy is the most insufferable, intolerable, unbearable, judgmental person to ever have the right to be that gorgeous.

They think I’m half angel and half human. They think I have no magic. They think that because I grew up in the human world, I’m clueless about what to expect at Seraphim Academy. They’re wrong. I’m not half human. I’m half demon. And this little succubus has come to play. My brother vanished from Seraphim Academy without a trace, and I’ll do whatever it takes to find him, including infiltrating the school myself. Even if it means going up against my brother’s best friends. They may be angel royalty, but if they think they can intimidate me into leaving, they’re wrong.

I killed a girl last night. I did it with my bare hands and an old piece of pipe I found lying next to the dumpster. But that's not the part that got me. The part that scared me, the part I can't seem to wrap my head around and still has me reeling, was that when she charged me, her body shifted - and then she was a wolf. All snapping teeth and extended claws.

Excellent story

Publisher's summary
Vampire Academy meets X-Men in this completed new adult series! There’s only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period.
The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for “troubled” kids - and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that.
You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day...we weren’t.
It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one.
Because in our world? They would kill me if they knew the truth of what I am.
Daizlei Academy is a school for Supernaturals.
And me? I’m so much more.
This is a New Adult Academy series with slow-burn romance and a strong, but flawed heroine. It is labeled new adult for stronger language and some mature situations. As the heroine ages and grows, so does the content of the stories.
This boxset contains:
- Heir of Shadows
- Scion of Midnight
- Queen of Lies
- Vessel of Destruction
4. Vessel of Destruction

I recommend looking through the reviews
Check out the 3 star and below reviews. They all say the issue with this series.
To summarize: terrible narration, bad story writing (ignoring clearly said things and saying that they only happened chapters later, poor development of characters), and no reason to listen. This is not an academy book (only part of first book) and the telling of the events is really terrible. I thought I would be able to at least get through it, but I returned it with 4 hours left because it was honestly that bad.
Just check out the other reviews before wasting money or a credit.

A mixed bag.
The first two stories were painful to listen to. The MC is extremely unpleasant. With such an unlikable character, i found it hard to care what happened to her. As the third story unfolds, you begin to understand more about the triplets destiny. While I wouldn't say it made the story. It gave her some redeeming qualities. I won't be revisiting this one.

Absolutely amazing complete box set
This was a very engrossing series. The family relationship, the magic, and Mystery. The characters show so much growth through the series and I love the development of the relationships as well. Once you start you are going to want to read till the end just so you know what happens. Academy, magic, a curse, fated mates

While the narrator did her best, it’s like listening to a 1000 page essay written by a high schooler using as many filler words as possible without imagination. This story could have been 2 books and it would have been far less painful.

good till it's not
there are very few things that make me drop a book instantly and a bad love interest is one of them. spoilers ahead.
my least favoite thing in a story is what I like to call boom your in love. when 2 characters that have no reason or right to be together all of a sudden have the hots for each other be it forced by the story (that is that case here) or when it blind sides the reader with nothing to look back and an go oh. here we got the density one and the Mc does not even like the person. then to make this work more they completely destroy a very likeable character and make you hate him.
further more the massive incosistany with the characters gave me wipe lash. I really tried. I loved the first book but the second book is hot trash and even if book 3 is the best peace of fiction ever written I would not go throw book 2 to read it.

I can’t even finish listening to this series.
Too many characters. Too much bouncing around.the voice reading it is fine. The story line drones on and on and on.
I love fantasy novels, but this was doing nothing for me. I dragged through book 3 chapter 25,but finally had to shut it off and delete it.

Great series. Amazing narration and writing
this series was a pleasure to listen to. The characters are flawed and have great depth but hugely endearing despite their sins. They are no angels but no delvils. The way the author gives you an insight into the characters minds allows me I really feel like I understand every small decision the characters make. plenty of exciting and emotional moments too and plenty of fast pased amazing action without sacrificing character dialogue and interaction. would deffo recommend

I just don't get it...
There weren't many reviews on the series unless you look under the ebooks, and even then I just don't understand the positives.
I muscled through the first book, but I couldn't finish it giving up with 23 hours to go. Here's why:
1) The plot in book 1 was vague, so vague I still don't understand what the problem is. the author gives you nothing and I only went on to book 2 in hopes more is given to the reader.
2) the fmc's trauma was touched on but vague. her ocd one track minded obsession to protect her sisters is reiterated over and over, but never explained as to why. her prickly nature is so overdone I could not like her no matter how many attempts side characters try to humanize her. I love a strong female lead who tries her best to overcome obstacles and portray growth that really pulls readers in, but it just did not happen.
3) why introduce so many secondaries when almost none of them holds any sway, adds to, subtracts from, or moves the plot along... the entire story is seen through the fmc, but the others play little to no part or influence her that they are literally just names or placeholders because the fmc has to interact with someoneotherwise the entire book would've been inner monologue only (not sure if it wasn't already with novel quotations here and there). Either way, it didn't matter who the side chatacter in the scene is, they are all interchangeable as the fmc has 1 setting... ignore, evade, no one matters.
4) the victim role in book 2 which was the focus made me eyeroll so hard I gave up and deleted the book. the new plot made the fmc so incredibly unlikable I wish the bad guys would win and take her down.
A big DNF. I often encourage readers/listeners to make up your own mind, but don't.. save yourself the credit and look elsewhere. I am a curious person and have gone to read a book, if it's in my KU, if I couldn't finish the audio just so I know how it ends, but this book turned me off so hard, I won't bother unless someone tells me the fmc gets taken down and everyone else has their hea and even then I would simply skip to the epilogue if told from everyone else's perspective after the fmc is gone because I don't care how she got eliminated, only that she did.

Enjoyable stories
Surprisingly engaging read. Great narration, and a good amount of suspense. I’ll definitely read more of Kel Carpenter after this

Loved this series!
Okay. It has been a while since I have really enjoyed a whole box set. Normally after the first book the story seems to go on repeat, but in each book the MC grows a little more. There is no big info dumps at any point and the pace is great. I would really recommend you give this a go.

Actually Prrety Good
I generally don't write reviews, but given the low rating I wanted to give my own opinion. I have thoroughly enjoyed the book(s). While yes, the details are vague about the protagonist's past and trauma. But I think it adds to the plot. When you meet someone in real life they aren't going to just list off in perfect clarity their life's story and the same could be said about characters in books. I really like that there are hints of romance, but it's not the main focus and she isn't constantly going on and on about her love interests. The book also focuses on the character development the protagonist and how she is growing and changing as a person. I would really recommend giving this series a chance.

Story
The mission: Put on a dress, pretend to be a lady, and infiltrate the academy of mages to steal a journal from the forbidden archives. The problem: I’m no mage and I’ve never worn a dress in my life. But it’s not like I have a choice. My bastard of an uncle basically sold me to a dangerously pretty nobleman, and they can’t pull off this heist without me. Unfortunately, once I fake my way through the entrance exam with a piece of hacked mage tech, and reach the floating kingdom of Reverie, my problems are only just beginning.

Story
My husband killed me. Instead of spending my immortal afterlife pissed off and angry, I moved on. I became someone. Sure, that someone was a demon with the highest track record of reform, a.k.a. punishment, in Hell. But who’s bragging? Everything was going fine...until the Risk Witches saw a terrible vision. Three men. Each scarred in their own way, born with powers that haven’t been seen in eons. Upper management sent the best to correct their path. Angels. Poltergeists. Nothing worked. These men were too stubborn. Too bad. Too untamed...so they sent me.
