Shadow Slayer

Moongrove Academy: Wicked Spells, Book 2

It’s time I wise up, before I’m buried in an early grave. Avenging my friend has never seemed more difficult.

Things aren’t as they seem on campus. The killer picking off students wears a familiar face, but more sinister forces are at work while he distracts us.

I am uniquely positioned to save lives, despite being a freshman witch, as long as I can work together with three very different men. That’s so much easier said than done.

Ben, the liar, has a lot to answer for first. Dark magic continues to threaten him and his younger brother, whom he is determined to save despite the odds.

Geo struggles with what it means to be a man when he has a heart of stone. Every time he takes his gargoyle form, I fear he will set his budding emotional growth aside in the name of duty.

Phaeron fights a unique battle against corruption that could turn him against what he stands for. When he takes a professor’s position at Moongrove Library, suddenly he starts seeing me as the forbidden fruit which he craves to bite.

And somewhere in this mess, I still need to pass my classes. Maybe I can convince Phaeron to offer “extra credit.”

This is the second book in a medium burn, fated mates, enemies-to-lovers series with a strong heroine who doesn’t have to choose between her three love interests. It is recommended for mature listeners.

Ends on cliffhanger

This is either not the last book or it just ends in the middle of things.. def not raunchy compared to lots of others I’ve listened to. The story is pretty good, this is not my fav series but it held my attention. Story could use more.. of what, I’m not sure.

I’d read them if I could go back…

First off the story is really interesting, however, knowing what I know now I would rather have read these. I didn't particularly like the change in the female main’s voice. She also had a weird rhythm to her reading. I'm not sure if she was pausing on purpose, but it took me a while to be able to ignore it. Not a big fan of the way the male did the female voices either. It sounded silly and almost mocking (I know he wasn't actually being mocking). The poly stuff wasn't my favorite either. In other books I haven't minded so much but these guys definitely got the short end of the stick. Plus, I only liked her with Ben. One romance would have been more interesting. The multiple romances took away from the story for me. Oh, and this one was way steemier, but I wasn't a fan of the way the narrator did those parts. It wasn't bad, but it could have been left out.

kept my attention

magic book with romance and drama would listen to more of the authors work. A +

Need book 3

I enjoy the series but it really needs that 3rd book for a full review.

Ella Hendricks does it again!

Wonderful fantasy world, magic, love, friendship, family! Yes. This is such a warm hug but also has a ton of excitement and action keeping the story going. 100% recommend listening to the book, the voice effects really elevate the story.
