Fate Hollow Academy: Term 1 by Lyra Winters

3.0

High Fantasy Academy Reverse Harem

This book takes place in a world called Kalispe (I'm probably spelling that wrong) where humans and the supernatural exist and there is a large collection of supes, vampires, shifters, witches/mages, demons, fae, and everything in between. Our FMC is a rare almost extinct Artic Fox Shifter who grew up around wolf shifters who ostracized her for being different. She's 22 and an herbalist and doesn't think she'll ever come into her powers or find her mate/s.

Well turns out she finds one Mate right in the village (village idiot #1) This spoiler talks about things that happen in the first couple of chapters...
Spoiler Her Mate, the Alpha wolf shifter's son, immediately rejects her. Don't get too excited because this is not a rejected mate romance, he stays rejected and unredeemable.

After her run-in with the mate from hell, she learns that she will come into a power and gets to attend (you guessed it) The Academy! This is where she gets to start over and stop living as an outcast in a village of haters.


She ends up with a large number of mates
Spoiler 7
but I had no issues remembering them all or being able to tell them apart, it worked for this story.
The potential Mates...
Spoiler
Rowan: Dragon Shifter, Fire Drake Dean of the Academy who hates all other Dragon Shifters. He's the alpha leader type.

Rhett: Incubus Demon with the strongest known pheromones of his kind, Councilor at the Academy who has past trauma that made him not trust easily, especially women. He's the sexy irresistible type who also has a sensitive loyal heart.

Damien: Shadow Demon, Student psycho-stalker type, liked his character his type is usually my favorite but his shadows bring an extra kink to the bedroom that I love. Thier like living limbs or tentacles.

Thorn: Ice/Winter Fae, Student, and Fae Prince. Can hear thoughts/ read minds and control the ice element. He's her childhood best friend, he met the FMC when they were six and continued to meet up with her regularly in the woods outside of her village. Childhood sweetheart who's fiercely protective type.

Alister: Vampire, Teacher, Controls Blood, Can shift into a Bat and do something with Birthstones? Teacher at the Academy. Not shy about his feelings toward the FMC. I didn't get to know him well enough in this book to decide his type yet, but I think he's probably a bit of a trickster.

Kian: Necromancer who also gets visions of the future/past/present. Student who hates how his people deal with death. Shy and awkward at first, very sweet and slightly nerdy. Cinnamon Role type.

Lachlan: Werewolve (not to be confused with wolf shifter
