I don’t think i have ever read a book or series i can compare this with. Usually I automatically think of other stories when i read a book. Like this book reminds me of this one or that one, or multiple books in one.
I have no reference for BRA, it was that different from every book I’ve read before and i loved it.
Lucy is a badass with a funny outlook on life and the situations shes in. I look forward to reading more about her and finding out more about the people in her life.
A great start to a series.

Absolutley amazing!

Avery and Veronica have created one heck of a story! I absolutely loved every single second of this book. Lucinda has become one of my favorite characters and I just love her friendship with Pearl. Also, both Tobias and Kane are perfect for Lucinda! I'm intrigued by Isaac and Isaiah and can not wait to read more about them.

I started reading fantasy/supernatural books more and more often the past few months, and I found the Bloody Rosary Academy while scrolling on Amazon kindle.
It is one of the few supernatural books that I've read that have a connection to religion. In the beginning, it was peculiar, but as I kept reading, it began making more sense in regards to the plot.
It is YA fiction, which I really like, and the characters are wholesome and well-defined. This is one of my favourite things about the book.
I don't want to give any spoilers away, so I won't talk about the plot. What I would like more would be more scenes and more details about the academy; the lessons, the environment, the professors etc.
I would recommend to read it, and I would love to talk about it with people.

Bloody Rosary Academy is book one in Avery Song’s new reverse harem academy series with a feisty vampire fae hybrid who is coming into her own and ready to kick butt in the process. Orphaned at the age of 10, Lucinda Delphine is “entrusted” to the care of the church until she reaches the age of 18. Her life is not what it should have been with her being protected, watched over, and treated with care. Instead, the church shows it’s darker side to her and those who are “entrusted” to their care. Lucinda is a spunky character though who thanks to her unique abilities refuses to fall victim to their vices. When she turns 18 though her life changes and she learns about the Bloody Rosary Academy and the history behind her parents and that a price is on her head.
Bloody Rosary Academy grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept me page-turning throughout. I couldn’t get enough of this book. Overall, I love Lucinda’s character. I like that she has a lot of sass and spunk without a ton of attitude to go with it. Her best friend Pearl is an absolute delight as well. The story is fast-paced and engaging and hooks you in as you get a glimpse at the things that these two girls have had to deal with during their years at the church. The author teases us with a bit of backstory behind both girls and I absolutely eat it up. I’m thrilled to say that in some areas the author doesn’t fall into the trap of predictability, which I was concerned would happen with one scene with Pearl. My radar kept saying “this won’t end well for her,” but thankfully, everything works out fine overall. Piece by piece things come to light, but justice being served is what I loved most about this book. The character development reminds me a bit of this author’s other reverse harem academy books, along with other certain situations, but I still say that this book is pretty entertaining.
The things that I really didn’t care for about this book were…Lucinda getting her way in certain situations. Those scenes and situations were just a little too predictable and just a little too smooth for me. I guess I wanted some controversy or at least a hard “no” to be put in place. I mean…she wants a later school start time and the Headmaster automatically says “Okay, classes won’t start at 8; they’ll start at 10 because you asked.” I know that Lucinda hasn’t had the best past eight years of her life, but I feel that now that it’s out that she’s royalty that things are just happening too conveniently for her.
All in all, I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The author has hooked me in with this series and these characters and I can’t wait to see what happens next. If you’ve read other books by this author then I recommend that you pick this one up. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it.

This book was very good and totally unexpected. The only thing I didn't like were the big jumps in time.

This book is just Amazing, i might be a little bit partial.

AND LUCINDA IS ONE OF MY FAV CHARACERS. The fact that she is half fae and half vampire is soo cool and she is badass.

Oh and Kane Mortica and Tobias Hart. DO I EVEN HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THEM??
