In a nutshell: Welcome to Evermore Academy where the magic is dark, the immortals are beautiful, and being human SUCKS. After spending my entire life avoiding the creatures that murdered my parents, one stupid mistake binds me to them for four years. My penance? Become a human shadow at the infamous Evermore Academy, finishing school for the Seelie and Unseelie Fae courts. All I want is to keep a low profile, but day one, I make an enemy of the most powerful Fae in the academy. The Winter Prince is arrogant, cruel, and apparently also my Fae keeper. Meaning I’m in for months of torture. But it only gets worse. Something dark and terrible looms over the academy. Humans are dying, ancient vendettas are resurfacing, and the courts are more bloodthirsty than ever. What can one mortal girl do in a world full of gorgeous monsters? Fight back with everything I have - and try not to fall in love in the process.
What I thought: A fresh take on the academy trope! Evermore Academy consists of Humans and Fae, with the humans acting as ‘guards’ to the Fae, which I’ve not come across in the magical academy genre as yet. This book made me laugh out loud - and that was generally in response to Ruby (Summer’s often drunk Pixie sidekick). Strengths of this book include a solid cast of side characters, strong theme of friendship, humour and setting us up for some hate to love goodness.
