And the main character, Grace, is boring af. They’re swapping spit for a good majority of the latter half of the book and I’m just screaming, “Is this necessary? Where’s the plot?” Grace kept talking about how she knows Jaxon and how he wouldn’t do this or wouldn’t do that and I’m like HOW? YOU HAVEN’T EVEN KNOWN EACH OFHER FOR A WEEK!

Here I am, a mere mortal among gods…or monsters. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Synopsis (via Goodreads): “My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Genre: Young adult, contemporary, paranormal
I wanted to DNF it but I pushed through because VAMPIRES but this book is just…not it for me. I got this early copy while attending the North Texas Teen Book Festival in March 2020.
