Academy of Monsters by Madeline Fay, Jenee Robinson
5.0
Academy for Monsters is the first book by Madeline Fay and Jenee Robinson of their co-written book in their new series Descendants of Nightmares. If you are a fan of the "old" monsters - Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, etc then this is the book to pick up! It is absolutely delicious and you won't want to put it down as it pulls you deeper within its dark pages full of steam, drama, and angst.
Academy for Monsters is a truly delicious book that had me hooked from beginning to end. I couldn't have put this book down if I had wanted to and trust me...there was not one second of where I wanted to part with this book all the way to the end. This book gives readers the children of the old monsters and how one, Dru, is working towards the path of being the queen over all the monsters. She's looking forward to her time at the academy, but what she doesn't know is that her friends have changed a bit...or for a couple...quite a lot. While yes they have all changed physically it's the mental side that she is going to have to worry about the most. Add in a "new" monster and things are about to get dangerous in more ways than one.
As I read this book I couldn't tell you who wrote which part of this book. I love it. I absolutely love it when two authors can come together and so seamlessly blend their writing styles to create such a masterpiece of a storyline. Dru is truly an engaging character and I love that she doesn't have a spoiled or bratty demeanor. She has her own issues that she is suddenly struggling with as she also has to deal with the drama and issues thrown at her from seemingly all sides.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This book gives you academy with steamy, lots of drama, and a deadly kiss of danger that is closer than any of them can think. If you're looking for a good book to pick up and devour then this one that I should grab, just make sure to clear your schedule because you won't be doing anything until you've turned the last steamy page.
