Book Summary:

Welcome to the Grimm Academy, a place where legends and nightmares collide, and where the supernatural thrives.

Within these halls, three houses reign supreme, each with its own dark and mysterious story to tell.

In the House of Lycan, primal instincts run deep, and passion burns hot. Shifters of all kinds come to hone their skills, mastering the art of transformation and learning to control their wild natures. But in the shadows, danger lurks, and ancient rivalries threaten to tear apart the pack.

In the House of Ydril, magic and beauty are intertwined, and the faes dance to their own enchanting tunes. Here, they learn to wield the elements, manipulate time and space, and weave spells of love and betrayal. But beneath the glamour, a darkness stirs, and a battle between light and dark is brewing.

In the House of Lilith, seduction and danger go hand in hand, and the vampires rule with deadly grace. Their thirst for blood is unquenched, and their desires are insatiable. But amidst the shadows, forbidden love blooms, and alliances are forged that could change the course of history.

Welcome to the Grimm Academy, where romance and intrigue, danger and desire, collide. Will you join the House of Lycan, the House of Ydril, or the House of Lilith? The choice is yours, but be warned - once you enter these halls, there is no turning back.

My Thoughts:

I loved that even though it was the second book in the series I didn't need to read the first book. Because I haven't yet. But I will be since I loved this one. 

I enjoyed the characters of this book and loved how the book played out. The idea of the Grimm Academy was very interesting with different types of magic being used. I didn't figure out who the villain was until that part of the story. Which was nice. The story kept me wanting to read more to find out what was going to happen. But I'm not very good at that and like to just read and let things play out. I gave it four hearts because it didn't make me want to stay up all night to finish it. All in all, I loved the book and would highly recommend it if you like magic, wolves, and romance.
