Deadly monsters live in all of us. The Academy of
Six has just never seen a monster as terribly mundane as Izara Castillo. And
that is a dangerous problem.
She has four semesters to not only understand her
supernatural abilities, but harness them as well. Everything at the Academy is
a disaster, from Interdimensional Travels through hell to the other hell they
like to call Gym. Bullies push her, test her, and simply try to kill her. A few
broodingly protective roommates and a scary fake boyfriend could help.
Or make her life impossibly harder. Pretend to date
the emotionally detached demon, they said. What’s the worst that could happen,
they said.
It’s make or break within this prison of a school.
If she succeeds, she’ll finally know what she’s capable of, who she truly is,
and where she came from. If she fails…she dies.
There is no world building or character development.
You’re dropped into this story with no explanation as to why things were the
way they were. I liked the idea of the series but needed more to fall for the
book. Like why I should care about anyone or anything in the book. I may try
the next book to see if it gets better but I need a break.
