Great read.
I found this book a little slow to start with but I stuck with it,and I'm glad I did. The pace picked up along with the story and got me hooked! Looking forward to the next one.

51% and no more. I just can't read more. The characters are so immature. First the girls: talking about being besties and getting hurt when mentioning other friends; giving each other names like Cor Cor and calling them that all the damn time, I mean in every sentence. "How you doing Cor Cor?", "We should go to class Cor Cor", "What did he do to you Cor Cor?". Then the mean girl is just over the top in my opinion. Insta-hate on a vicious level.
The boys are all insta-love after the MC gets her ass handed to her in a fight against the mean girl. There wasn't anything super special about this fight but somehow it stands out in the boys minds and they are now besotted with her. Heaven forbid they tell her though.
Then the most confusing thing is that she's been there for weeks, showing no powers and sucking at school life in general. It's talked about that she is having private lessons with 2 of the boys but no detail is given to these as they happen "off screen" and when she talks to them "on camera", its like they're still strangers. Aren't we all supposed to be getting to know each other?
Finally, her sister is missing and she hasn't mentioned it once to anyone. She's so bogged down with trying to access her powers and feeling frisky but her sister who she apparently cares about? Nope.

fast-paced
So quick and fast paced, felt like a lot of things were skipped over but overall I enjoyed the storyline

As seems to be my issue with most paranormal academy why-choose books (unfortunately ☹️) I couldn’t get into some of the language that was used. The pop culture references were a tad bit annoying, but I quickly got over them, but some of the way that the internal dialogue just rubbed me the wrong way and I just kept fixating on it. The fmc was ok. The guys were meh, but I’m sure they get better as the series goes on, but I just wasn’t feeling it. Unfortunately this is added to the pnr why-choose dnf pile.
I never thought I'd crave a school-set novel, but here I am, with a freaking chokehold on this genre.
Aside from the chaotic cast, one aspect of this reverse harem novel that I enjoyed was the magic system and the overall mystery-suspish atmosphere.
I honestly would have liked to see more of Coralia's badassery, but we didn't get much in this book, so hopefully in the sequel, which I'll be diving into after my next reverse harem read.
Aside from that, I couldn't take the names seriously; I don't know, I just find them funny, especially with Dax, Bruce, and Sunny—not to mention that I always say Cordelia instead of Coralia.
Anyway, the plot is there, and I wanted more of it because, once again, everything around here is suspicious. I don't know, I just wanted more of this, and Dawn Academy also piqued my interest, so I'll start watching that series later.
In terms of the pairings, I am not entirely convinced by the romance. Sorry, I'm just not sold on this pairing, but THAT OTHER BOI has me hooked.
Overall, I think this was good; despite a few missed here and there, I still enjoyed it and plan to jump to the second one later. 3.75 ⭐

1st book
Second read through, not going to lie I quite like this book. It pulls you in making you want to read more. To see not just the MFC grow as an individual but those around her as well is quite a read one I very much enjoyed.

Amazing
This was such an amazing book, I'm so mad at myself for not reading it sooner. I got this during the pre-order, and it's been sitting in my Kindle ever since.
This follows an ordinary human girl, or at least she thinks she's ordinary, as she jorneys to a new place. Her sister is lost, and she believes she can be the one to find her. What she doesn't expect is to find other things along the way, friends, enemies, and potential lovers. The ending was quite the thrilling end and left me wanting so much more.
Will Coralia find her sister, I guess you'll have to read to find out.
Highly recommend this book.
