Summary

Only the strongest survive...most of the time...

Raven may be a shifter, but she's always felt separate from her wolf. She never knew it should be different. Then, a stranger shows up in her hometown, turning her world upside down and recruiting her for the elite Bloodshed Academy.

Everything she's ever known is challenged, and Raven finds herself in impossible situations. Making matters worse is the fact that one of the strongest alphas at school catches her eye. And he makes her feel things she doesn't understand.

The school may only recruit the best of the best, the strongest in their world, but there's something more about Raven. When push comes to shove, she has to decide if she's willing to fight for what she's come to love...or run from a life she can't quite accept.

Good Start to Academy Series

I enjoyed this, it's a fun story though some is quite predictable. I liked Raven when she really let herself shine. I absolutely loved Jess, she added so much life and humour to the story. I'm not fully sold on Rage, he's such a jerk to everyone else.

I'll definitely continue this series.

Good fun!

I was given this audiobook in return for an honest review.
I've rounded up from 3.5 stars for the fundamental reason that I enjoyed this book, and I really want to know what happens next. It had its faults, but will go on my list of re-listens for when I just need something easy and fun.
I really liked some of the characters, they were fun and had real character, and the narrator made them sound just right. The book was absorbing and held my interest. It was a bit predictable at times, but equally there are mysteries to be ponder too. It did feel quite short, there wasn't that much to the story (sometimes books have too much "filler", but I felt this could have been fleshed out a bit instead of skipping a few days/weeks/months ahead sometimes), but there are a few things that have been hinted at which will hopefully be revealed in the rest of the series.
I'm looking forward to finding out what happens to Raven in book 2!

A magnificent new series

Loving this first book in the series. Raven is at the end of her school year. She was picked to be a part of Bloodshed Academy. Only the best get an invitation. This is the beginning of Ravens magical adventure. So many different supernaturals brought together. Such a fun book. The narrator did a fantastic job.

Amazing and alluring plot

When I first started this audiobook I was kind of stuck in reading. Everything I picked up it was difficult to read... I picked this one up thinking "hey, this is promising, but the shifters part?... I don't know...". I finished wanting to listen to the next one!

I really enjoyed everything about this book, Cole is something else xD
The narrator is really adequate for the character.
It's an amazing kickstart for this series!

I received a free audio copy from the author for an honest review :)

Bloodshed academy book 1

This is the first book in this series and it has potential. This book contains a variety of supernaturals, shapeshifters, vampires and fae. It is a good book and I feel it is laying the ground work for a bigger story to come. The characters in the story are good and I enjoyed listening to it.

Really good start to the series.

This book does a great job of kicking off the series. You jump right into the story, and meet the main characters relatively quickly. I must say I really enjoyed all the characters and expect to see some development of them in the next books. In particular Cole was a favourite- I really laughed at some of his scenes. I enjoyed the fact that there is a theme of strong friendships in this book. It isn't RH but Raven has a solid footing with all the guys and it's really refreshing. The romance side is fast moving and this book definitely seems like it is setting up for some interesting plots to come. Overall a really enjoyable listen.

an entertaining story

For Raven, life has already been decided. She is a woman werewolf and even if she feels inadequate in the position, she knows that she cannot change the rules of the game... or can she? All the tropes are here. I loved Jess, her best friend who is sassy and the budding love story between Raven and the guys. I enjoyed listening to this story. I want to know where the love story goes and how Raven will face and defeat her ennemies. I want to know how she will change the so outdated rules of her pack to become a female alpha.
