Darkness Calls by KC Kingmaker
4.0
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 ⭐
