Summary

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....

A great start to the series

The start of another fantastic new trilogy from Tessa Hale and if Legacy of Shadows is anything to go by, Supernaturals of Castle Academy is shaping up to be my favourite one so far. If anyone asked me, paranormal and reverse harem would be low down on my list of favourite tropes to read but somehow Tessa Hale has managed to combine both these tropes with a fabulous cast of characters who I can’t help but love to the extent that I can’t get enough of her books. With a fantastic suspense filled plot, laced with twists, turns and secrets and engaging characters such as we have with this book, they are quickly becoming one of my guilty pleasures in life even if she does torment her readers with cliff hangers from hell.

Vanessa Moyen is a new to me narrator but she provided a great portrayal of the teenage Tessa bringing this book to life and making for an enjoyable listening experience on my daily commute. Definitely a narrator I’d have no hesitation listening to in future should the opportunity arise.

Dive into a new paranormal story

It becomes very clear from the beginning that Leighton has had a difficult life.

We get introduced to the guys and their world slowly (very slowly) to the point where we get frustrated along with Leighton about all the secrets and deceit. Colt - the best friend from her childhood. Dash - the sweet and kind one. Declan - the understanding one - my favourite. Ronan - the protective one. Trace - the grumpy one.

Leighton is the type of heroine to run away when she’s overwhelmed. While people may be frustrated with this, I actually applaud Tessa Hale for being so reflective and intentional or not shows people it’s ok to not be strong all the time.

Vanessa Moyen is a new to me narrator. She did a brilliant job of delivering Leighton’s emotions and bringing the story to life.

What are you waiting for? Dive into unravelling the secrets with our FMC, come face to face with danger at every turn and discover a whole new world …
