Legacy of Shadows

Supernaturals of Castle Academy, Book 1

De: Tessa Hale

Narrado por: Vanessa Moyen

All I wanted was to keep my head above water. To survive long enough to hit my 18th birthday so I could escape the nightmare that my homelife had become. But all of that was turned upside down the moment they showed up.

The best friend from my past. The surly brooder. The kindhearted nerd. The king of campus. The dark one.

They say they’re here to give me a fresh start in a place where I’m safe, warm, and cared for. And I can’t deny the pull I feel to all five of them. The buzz that lights beneath my skin when they touch me. And for the first time, I feel like I might belong.

But not everything is as it seems. These guys have secrets. Ones that will rip my world wide open. But when a dark evil begins stalking us, we’re all in for the fight of our lives.

Book one in a new paranormal why-choose reverse-harem romance trilogy from Amazon top 20 author Tessa Hale. Fated mates, powerful supernaturals, and an evil who is out for them all....

It consumed me

I thoroughly enjoyed this listening experience. I had read the book, so i already knew the story was good. The narrator brought it to life. I felt like i was there in the moment with the characters. I had to charge my earbuds twice because i could not stop listening to it.

Loving Tessa Hale's newest series!!

Audiobook veteran, Vanessa Moyen, does an excellent job bringing life to the first book in Tessa Hale’s newest series, Supernaturals of Castle Academy. She is one of my favorite narrators for a good reason, able to bring different voices to a variety of characters. If you are going to go with a single narrator, she is the one to pick.

Legacy of Shadows was an exciting introduction to this new series! It is full of secrets, political intrigue, magic, shifters (of many varieties), fated mates, and overprotective males with ‘who hurt you’ vibes. It feels a bit darker than her last series, Royals of Kingwood Academy, but that is what made it so compelling and hard to put down.

There’s Leighton, who’s been pulled out of Louisiana and thrust into a world she knows nothing about, into the lives of Colt, Ronan, Dash, Trace, and Declan. She must deal with the antics of mean girls who want to piss all over the guys they think are theirs and learn to navigate a system she barely understands. It doesn’t help that the boys keep secrets and send her mixed signals, so she never really knows where she stands. The angst ratchets higher as painful truths get revealed.

The heat is smoldering and builds throughout, but this is a slow-burn romance with a ⓥⓘⓡⓖⓘⓝ FMC. I expect later books will rachet up the steam substantially as their relationships grow.

This baby ends in a whopper of a cliffhanger that I am still not quite over. Book two cannot get here soon enough because I am so thoroughly invested in this story, that the wait might ⓚⓘⓛⓛ me.
