Summary

For as long as I can remember, I've been the girl who didn't fit in, the girl who collapsed in the middle of class, just because my brain decided to turn on me. I can't really complain, though. We don't live in the Middle Ages, so I have yet to be subjected to an exorcism. I can get treatment for my condition. Epilepsy aside, I can mostly be a normal person and have a normal life.

There's just one problem. I'm not a normal person. I never have been. And the first time I find this out is upon receiving an exclusive invitation to The Academy of the Devil.

Unfortunately, The Academy of the Devil isn't like other schools and the current princes of the school have a lot of experience in ripping whatever contender they have to shreds. All of them despise humans. All of them sneer at anyone who displays any kind of weakness. All of them hate me and everything I stand for. That's fine. I don't need friends, lovers, or even valued mentors. All I need is to survive my school years with my soul, my sanity and my brain intact. It'll be a challenge, but I've dealt with worse. I might not be ready for the Academy of the Devil, but they're not ready for me either.

Contains mature themes.

Worth reading

Really enjoyed the story behind this one. Different to the other RH books I've read.
Narration is a bit slow so stuck to mainly reading.

Depth of Character and thrilling storyline. Love it.

This is a brilliant book. The characters have depth, to the point where you get really invested in them. (I was properly in tears twice listening to it), so many unexpected twists and turns. Great story line, vivid imagery, and engaging plot. This book is really well written. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series. Highly recommend.

Devilishly Good!

I loved Alyssa's sass and sarcasm, she's faced with attending the 'Devil's Acadamy' because of an ancestors choices, nobody likes her but she doesn't care, she just has to get through her three years and leave. I cried when everyone turned against her because of a 'fit', but she just picked herself up and carried on! I can't wait to start book 2!
