This book was amazing! I don’t trust Shade and I hate how he bit Aflora without her permission. I didn’t like Zeph when we first met him and he seemed like an asshole. I liked Kohl pretty well because he tried to help her and showed her the most kindness out of anyone. I hate that her powers are out of control wolf I hate that she keeps almost hurting people. I’m glad she found a friend in Ella though. I hated the ending and how the boys tricked her.
I hated that the story essentially began with a rape. I seriously believe they could have started in a better manner than what basically amounted to fae rape(he mated her forcefully, a girl from a different sect of fae, which is strictly banned and usually results in getting the people involved executed...the only reason the heroine was spared temporarily was because she's a princess herself). And it would still have been acceptable if the heroine reacted in an appropriate manner, but NOPE. In the typical manner of dumb heroines everywhere, she basically swooned for her rapist the moment he began appearing in her dreams and started sleeping with him in her dreams, thereby completely undercutting the seriousness of what he did.
The book wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. There were some funny scenes at the beginning, with the heroine's hilarious cursing that I enjoyed, but the funny scenes were few and far between.
I believe I complained about the same issue while reading Elemental Fae Academy (book 1) too, that the transitions between scenes are weirdly abrupt, there's a lot of telling rather than showing. For example, we get TOLD multiple times that the midnight prince's fiancee bullied the heroine, but not once do we SEE it happening on the pages. It's like the author was too lazy to write the scene or sth.
The characters are not described all that well, they don't really have distinct personalities, they're just the Headmaster, the prince and the rapist. Totally cardboard cutouts. And the heroine is a dumb doormat to boot. I was kind of bored, the only reason I could finish is cause the book was fairly short. But I don't think I'll continue on with the series.

I gave up at the end. I started reading the book a few months ago and I lost interest. Tried to finish it, but it felt like pulling teeth.
Midnight Fae Academy: Book One by Lexi C. Foss is a dark paranormal reverse harem bully romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Sarah Puckett, Kale Williams, Gregory Salinas, Rich Miller, and Lessa Lamb.
Book does come with an author’s note “This is a dark paranormal reverse harem trilogy with bully romance (enemies-to-lovers) elements. Despite Aflora’s opinions on the matter, there will definitely be biting. Shadow, a.k.a. Shade, guarantees it. This book ends on a cliff-hanger.”
I absolutely love Lexi’s books! She does an amazing job pulling me into the books. I am loving the relationship that’s blooming between Aflora, Kols, Zeph, and Slade. I really enjoyed that we got each of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life. I can’t wait for the book two to be released on audio so I can get more of their story.
Sarah, Kale, Gregory, Rich, and Lessa did an amazing job on the narration! I loved this dual narration throughout the book. This is the first book I have listened to where each character had a different narrator. It was EVERYTHING!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romances.

I just wanted it to end, there was barely any progress in the story. A lot of back and forth between the same things

I found the first half of this book quite slow. It’s a lot of world building but it’s interesting. The magic system is a lot to take in so I understand why it took half the book to get it all in there. The last half was a faster pace. I don’t find any of the mmc holding my interest. I am quite intrigued with Aflora and what’s going on with her. I’m keen to see how that develops. I’m not big on “secrets” that span multiple books so I’m quite irritated that I read this book and it gave zero answers. The writing is good, the story is there, but the secrets and slow pace keep drawing me out of the story. I will continue bc I am intrigued enough to want to know what’s going on but if there’s no answers by the end of book 2 it will be a DNF series for me.
I loved this book! I loved Aflora and her mates. I mean you have to get to know them a little bit before you love them buy I promise you will eventually love them! Aflora is a strong character. I liked that she knew when it was time to fight and when it was time to back off a little bit. This book does leave off on a heck of a cliff hanger so be sure to get the second book immediately!
I listened to the audiobook and you guys it's amazing.. one of the best RH audiobooks I've listened to. It has multiple narrators which are absolutely perfect for the characters. If you have a chance to listen, you should!
