About this listen

Only the strongest survive...most of the time...

Raven may be a shifter, but she's always felt separate from her wolf. She never knew it should be different. Then, a stranger shows up in her hometown, turning her world upside down and recruiting her for the elite Bloodshed Academy.

Everything she's ever known is challenged, and Raven finds herself in impossible situations. Making matters worse is the fact that one of the strongest alphas at school catches her eye. And he makes her feel things she doesn't understand.

The school may only recruit the best of the best, the strongest in their world, but there's something more about Raven. When push comes to shove, she has to decide if she's willing to fight for what she's come to love...or run from a life she can't quite accept.

This book is enthralling, once I started listening i could not stop. Raven is a strong sassy heroine and her friends are captivating. The story is highly entertaining, exciting and ends on a wonderful unexpected cliff hanger leaving you wanting more. The narration is beautifully performed with distinctive voices for each character.

Wonderfully Enchanting

I received a free audio copy of this book directly from the author for an honest review.

I instantly loved the strength and sass of the main character Raven. You’re only followed up by characters that you either equally love or the kind of characters you love to hate and each developing relationship with Raven. I love Cole and his banter and Jess is the wing woman any girl would want to have! Although some points of the book seem a little bit speedy it’s actually set across a long period of time and as a starting point for a series makes you ready to just want more of the secrets revealed.

I was hooked from the start and I’m looking forward to more!

Looking forward to the next book

I was given this audiobook in return for an honest review.
I've rounded up from 3.5 stars for the fundamental reason that I enjoyed this book, and I really want to know what happens next. It had its faults, but will go on my list of re-listens for when I just need something easy and fun.
I really liked some of the characters, they were fun and had real character, and the narrator made them sound just right. The book was absorbing and held my interest. It was a bit predictable at times, but equally there are mysteries to be ponder too. It did feel quite short, there wasn't that much to the story (sometimes books have too much "filler", but I felt this could have been fleshed out a bit instead of skipping a few days/weeks/months ahead sometimes), but there are a few things that have been hinted at which will hopefully be revealed in the rest of the series.
I'm looking forward to finding out what happens to Raven in book 2!

Good fun!

I had no idea what to expect from this book. I haven't read any 'academy' books before but have read more paranormal and PR books than I can count.
I really enjoyed this book. The narrator was great and is very believable as the voice of the main character. I'm looking forward to starting book two.

For Raven, life has already been decided. She is a woman werewolf and even if she feels inadequate in the position, she knows that she cannot change the rules of the game... or can she? All the tropes are here. I loved Jess, her best friend who is sassy and the budding love story between Raven and the guys. I enjoyed listening to this story. I want to know where the love story goes and how Raven will face and defeat her ennemies. I want to know how she will change the so outdated rules of her pack to become a female alpha.

an entertaining story
