Another fantasy, another reverse harem, another school romance but Oh My God! So good! I am intrigued and fully engaged. Gabriella, her professor, the shy footballer and now the two male conduits 😍😍

The switching from present to past tense mid paragraph really threw me off, and the concept could be so interesting if it was fleshed out more.
Shallow story, could use an editor

I really wanted to like this book but.... the characters were just so meh, so 2D (and I can barely describe them). Everything was about her... and not in anyway significant for something other that "oh she is hot. I got have her. Oh we are married forever ? Doesnt matter I love you even though we have gone 1 date together!".
And world-building? Whodat?
Seriously, I would say this book is way too focused on the relationships but guess what?... There was no relationship, you know the ones where people actually want the other for something else than their hawt body? None of that.
And the heroine? I mean this is her way to choose men : "Not sleazy, not too douchy, and says he wants me". Those are the only critera and she will go out with you.
Btw, the all thing about being an independent woman fucking lasted 1 week in the book.
This book UTTERLY lacks world building, people building, relationship building, description building, whatever.
This was bland.
From the first pages I knew this book was going to be mediocre. But somebody said that the Hemlock Academy series was like another version of the Artemis University, and those did getter better and were relatively good (with world building and a plot! A plot!! Something other than "omygawdsheissohot gnnnee lets all get hitched when we barely know each other gneeee"). So I wanted to give it a try.
Waste of my time, money, and discernement.
No fucking clue why people put 4 and a half stars.

Academy .... and not.
This book is one of those that assumes you know what is going on, but fills you in on the details anyway - painfully, and slowly as the pages stack. It’s fast, hot as heck and a touch tropey. We have our typical mean girls, redundant jocks, jealous fools and mates that appear to be the cream of the crop. A bit usual, that, but it’s still woven in an enticing way that makes you want to read more.
FMMMMMMMM (?) first person, multiple POV, cliffhanger ending, PNR Medium burn RH

I really liked this book! It was the first book I’ve read in MONTHS that I didn’t want to end because I enjoyed it so much. The storyline was unique and I especially loved the FMC. I had to take off a star because there were a lot of errors throughout the book-wrong names used, missing words, misspelled words-and it did take me out of the story at times. But the author is a very talented storyteller and errors can be fixed :) I can’t wait for the next book!

Way to many grammatical errors. Really made it difficult to read and stay in
