Publisher's summary

Fight demons. Fall in love. Save the world.

Welcome to Angel Academy.

My name is Celeste Venoix, and I’m no angel.

I never had a family, so I’ve been taking care of myself ever since I was a kid. One night, some creep decides to follow me home from work, and I use my fists to put him in his place. After the brawl, a handsome stranger approaches me and tells me that I might be an angel.

What the hell?

The next thing I know, I’m enrolled at the Angel Academy. The academy is a place for angels-in-training to learn how to fight demons and become fluent in an ancient language or two. It’s hard enough trying to keep up with my classes, but somewhere between working on my swordsmanship and my Latin prepositions, I find myself falling for my best guy friend. And falling for a handsome stranger. And falling for a guy who totally hates my guts. All at the same time.

Oh, and did I mention that demons keep trying to kill me, and I have no idea why?

God.

It’s going to be one hell of a year.

Please note: Angel Academy is a university-age reverse harem series.

Good start

This was a good start to the series. I would have liked to see more character development and more depth to the relationships but this definitely had a main character I could get behind. Fun story.

Great story

I enjoyed this book and it seems to be leading up to hopefully more action in the next book. The narrator also did a good job and I can see myself listening to more of her stories in the future. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Fun story

Is Celeste more than what she seems to be. This story answers some questions but leaves many more. This was a good start to a series and I’m interested in what happens next.

Okay start to a new academy series

This was an okay start to an academy series. I feel like there are so many academy books out there that it needs to be something really special to stand out. I think parts of this book stood out, like the fact that our main girl is the daughter of Lilith and Lucifer and you know she’s in an Angel Academy.. but my problem with this book is that the characters are completely forgettable. I literally just finished this book and I have already forgotten a lot about them. They were all boring. And the “relationships” went from zero to 1000 in the blink of an eye. Not my favorite.

The narrator was fine. I honestly have zero bad things to say about her. She narrated the story with inflection and passion I just didn’t like the story.

Brand New Blade

This was a new enjoyable story about Angels. The academy elements of the story were well explained and not overdone. The narration was good and kept the story moving.

Interesting story idea and world building

This is an interesting new paranormal RH academy romance filled with Angels and Demons and more. However, while the world is interesting, the narration and story telling aren't the strongest. I'd give this author a try again, but just didn't feel particularly invested in these characters,
