Fate Hollow Academy: Term 1 by Lyra Winters
5.0
Great paranormal academy romance
Every now and then you read a book that surprises you and this was one of those books. I was expecting a regular shifter/paranormal academy romance, something I’ve read quite a bit of, but this ended up being really good. I feel like I was drawn into the story right away and I adored the characters. Each of them was so distinguishable and I love that the author used multiple point of views so that we were able to know the characters on a deeper level. I’m looking forward to more of the other point of views, especially of those who weren’t as prominent in this books.
What I really enjoyed with this book is that the author used the concept of fated mates but it wasn’t an instant attraction, you know who is going to be her mate thing. It’s suspected and you can kind of assume who will be in her harem. The ones that are chosen could be surprising, or at least the order of them. I love that little aspect that the author tossed in.
I also liked that the author focused on character development, getting to know the different characters and the world building before she brought one of the bigger conflicts to the surface. It had been brought up naturally within conversations but until certain events it wasn’t the main focus. Some of the other issues actually seemed more important until they weren’t.
I enjoyed the author’s spin on a paranormal academy romance. The author is a great storyteller and she was able to completely capture you within the story and it’s like no time passed at all. The book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, it’s more of a let’s see what will happen.
4.5/5
