Summary

In an Afterworld with Hell and Heaven on Earth, I'm the lowest a being can be. My life is one of drudgery, degradation—and danger. And that's before I started dealing Angelescence, a drug only I can produce, and everyone would kill for. Then I make one single mistake, and it gets me arrested, and my terrifying captor drags me to the Celestial Court—on a leash—to stand trial. My sentence?

Conscription to Celestial Academy—with Godric, the most powerful nephilim in history and Heaven's assassin as my mentor. He's been assigned with discovering the root of my unprecedented ability to capture Angel Essence.

We hate our forced proximity—and each other. But our private war takes a backseat as he unearths even more terrible mysteries within me. Meanwhile, lethal trials loom at mid-term, and a devastating internal war as well as another Apocalypse are brewing. And I'm at the center of it all.

This is for all my Zodiac Academy girlies

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Zodiac Academy hangover? Don't worry, Olivia Pharos is here to save you!
 
For the category books that need all the hype, we have Celestial Academy: Essence, the first book in this new, adventurous, epic, sexy, urban fantasy.
 
First of all thank you NetGalle and IBPA for the ALC, if it weren't for you I would have never discovered what might be my newest obsession.
 
I loved how Olivia was able to put into this book so many of the vibes I love without copying any other fantasy.
Yes, we have Godric aka Godawful, the broody-powerful-possessive MMC; Wen, the sassy -apparently powerless but actually not- FMC, a deadly school, and many other tropes we all love and cherish.
But the plot, how the story evolves, and the slow burn, are so original and refreshing they immediately trapped me in.
 
I love all the female characters and I can't wait for them to form the ultimate girlbosses squad and just kill everyone in their path.
 
If you love:
- Morally grey characters
- Slow burn
- Hidden powers
- Academy
- Angels and Demons
- Friendship
- Amazing banter
Then what are you waiting for???? RUN!
 
The ALC was splendidly narrated and I had a super fun time listening to it!
