Özet

A magical prince wants to date me, but there's one problem. This prince has claws.

Everyone at Shadow Hills Academy desires the dark and powerful Jarron Blackthorn. But I'm the only one who has seen the terrifying beast beneath his magical façade.

When my sister is murdered, and the case mysteriously dropped, I know where to begin my own investigation—Shadow Hills Academy, an elite school for supernaturals. Technically, I have zero magic, but just enough skills with potions to be accepted. Now I have the means to get close to the most likely culprits—powerful people like the demon prince Jarron.

I was friends with Jarron years ago, before I saw his true form, but I'm still shocked when he reacts to news of my sister's death with a determination for vengeance. He has a plan to help me get access to Elite Hall, where the most powerful students reside—by pretending to date me.

Dating a demon was NOT how I expected this year to start, but his plan will work. Hang on the arm of Jarron Blackthorn and everyone in school will be so desperate for my friendship they'll spill their secrets.

I just have to make sure Jarron never learns he is my number one suspect.

Keep your enemies close, right?

I searched for some recommendations for academy fantasy without the 'why choose' trope. This was one of the recommendations. It was not bad. It's a fantasy with murder mystery.

I gave it 3 stars because I had hoped to see a bit more of its world and the developments of relationships among the characters. The power dynamics were not new in this kind of fantasy, but it'd have been interesting to see how the writer viewed and portrayed it. It focused a bit too much on the feelings and repetitive thoughts of the FMC. Besides, some bits reminded me of other stories, such as the Crave series.

The narration was too depressing most of the time like there would never be any rainbows or unicorns ever again. But it suited how the FMC felt, I supposed. So, if you're not looking for an uplifting story, it's pretty good.
