About this audiobook
Abandoned as a child and unable to remember her past, Morgan was raised as a hunter, one of an elite group of fighters sworn to protect humans from the dangerous paranormal creatures who invade our world . . . creatures such as herself. Her life changes the day she's summoned to the Academy of Assassins, a school that trains witches and hunters to eradicate paranormals who prey on humans. Her first assignment-find and eliminate the killer who is using the Academy as their own personal hunting ground.
As Morgan delves deeper into the investigation, she will need to dodge assassination attempts, avoid the distraction of romantic entanglements with the devilishly handsome security expert, Kincade, and his maddeningly overprotective teammates, while keeping the volatile magic in her blood concealed from those who would use it for their own purposes. When the danger increases and the school is threatened, Morgan must unearth her missing memories before someone finishes the job they started so long ago-killing her and unleashing a plague that will consume the world.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not sure why it took me so long to finish this book as the momentum picked up it was hard to put down. Morgan the main character was a little annoying and as with most reverse harem books there are major communication problems and if that were fixed most of her problems could have been avoided but it was overall a great book
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well this book was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed the storyline and the different interpretations of the characters from the “norm”, that was different and new.
I definitely can’t wait until the next book comes out.
There were quite a few grammar errors and typos with the kindle version which was a little bit annoying, but, yes it was a great book. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great start to the series. Slow burn reverse harem. Not much romance in this story, mostly flirtatious moments. Can’t wait to start book 2 to get to know Morgan & her guys better.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good book. However, the author spent too much time on the heroines resistance to mating, like all matings were bad even if the men were good. Plus, kissing is nice but could there not be some groping as well.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I had no idea this was a reverse harem. I hate that crap. I would've avoided it if I'd had known. That being said, this was an easy enough read. It flowed well, the action was constant and the writing enjoyable. The plot was a bit of a mess - I didn't really understand the world but it's easy enough to ignore my confusion. It kind of reminds me of a bad version of the Steel and Stone series by Annette Marie. Which had a lot of the same concepts but much better executed and without the reverse harem. The characters were a bit flat - they weren't really properly fleshed out and obviously, the connection between all of them was just insta everything. Didn't really ring true. So yeah, if we're going on tastes one star. But I don't rate on taste - I rate on readability and my objective opinion, in which case a solid 2 stars, maybe even 2.5. If instalove doesn't bother you 3 stars.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely addicting!!!!!
Such a treat... A welcome surprise to me. Most PNR books have very similar themes... However this was a breathe of fresh air. Morgan has zero knowledge or memory of her first ten years of life. Found surviving in the woods on her own by a legendary hunter, MacGregor takes her into The Academy where witches are then given training.... Hoping to keep her safe he was disheartened to find these same witches torturing and beating her whenever they could.. All because they could find no magic in her... Therefore she was useless in their eyes. LOL little did they know that was FAR from being true. MACgregor took it upon himself to train her... Something he never did for anyone. A highly respected warrior/hunter in his own right he made sure she could protect herself. Morgan knew she had magic within herself... She just had no way of accessing it thanks to the torque necklace that seemed to dampen any magic within her. That and the mysterious runes carved into her back are all she had when she was discovered. A lone wolf at the academy, as all the witches loathed and taunted her.... Morgan honed her own skills of hunting when time permitted.... She knew she was different from everyone. She just had no clue why, or what she was.
Little did she know that EVERYTHING was about to get turned on it's head. She learns that she's been asked to join the Academy of Assassins... Something which rarely happens. People attempt to get in and become trainees on their own... But for the Academy to reach out on it's own is exceedingly rare. Talk about a whole new world. MacGregor informs her it's a dual purpose.... For her training, and to help learn who is killing witches and carving the same runes from her back into these witches backs. The hunt is on....will she become the bait or remain the hunter? Who is behind all these killings, and what does it have to do with her?all kinds of intrigue, surprises, paranormal hapoenings, politics, mean girls, and hot guys all over the place are within these pages. See if she becomes.victorious....will she uncover her true heritage? Help cheer her on while you read this amazing book. I for one cant wait for the next in this awesome series!!
