Katmere Academy: An Insider's Guide by Tracy Wolff

5.0

This was such a cute addition to the series, considering I've been dying for Court to come out. I originally wasn't going to rate it, as I thought it would just be some background information and character bios, but that wasn't the case. THERE WERE BONUS CHAPTERS AND A NOVELLA FROM HUDSON'S POV!!!! I ate that RIGHT up. Now, before I get ahead of myself, the background information on the classes at Katmere were so cool, and the character bios were so interesting because you could read short excerpts from their lives, which I loved since we only really get to see/read about Grace's POV. Okay, now back to the novella. I LOVED IT! I was so excited to finally see the underneath the mask of Hudson Vega, and it did not disappoint. There's something about a tortured yet kind soul longing for a girl just out of his reach. It was heartbreaking to see what he went through, since Grace didn't remember their time together when they were trapped, and to see through his eyes Grace choose Jaxon over and over again, even if she was conflicted herself. He mentioned not wanting to give up chasing her, as she would be upset, and this reminded me so much of the scene where Grace wanted to give up fighting in the prison and Hudson refused to let her. Also, we learned that Grace called him her forever??? HELLO?? I need him to tell her ASAP what happened in those months or, even better, for her to have some amazing revelation where she remembers everything. I was in shock when I read that. Anyways, I loved this guide so much and it made me fall in love with Grace and Hudson even more, which I didn't think was possible.

"I know that she'll remember what she told me all those weeks ago. That I am her true north and that as long as she has me, she'll always find her way."
