A group of outcasts, struggling to survive in a school filled with monsters.
An average kid, growing up in Las Vegas, Alex Ayers life skids off the rails when a dragon shifter comes for him. Alex is a Creature, monsters from myths and legends. And he’s in line to lead all the Creatures in the world, if he doesn’t get killed first.
Now forced to attend a school filled with every horror he’s ever imagined, Alex draws together a group of friends to become his own mini-army.
A depressed vampire facing an identity crisis.
A class gossip with white hair and a frosty outlook.
A werewolf who plays with magic.
A Valkyrie straining against her berserker’s rage.
Can Alex keep his friends safe, fight for his own life, and catch a killer, all while keeping his grades up? And what will his future hold, as he begins his change into a Creature he knows nothing about?
It’s probably the last book I will finish for 2023 and what a book to finish on!! I am completely in love with this book and I so need the next book in the series.
It is a YA fantasy type of book. Alex’s life is turned upside down one day and we have no idea why. I really liked that we were as clueless as Alex about everything. We didn’t have any information that Alex didn’t about the school, way of life or the creatures. I loved learning along the way and to be honest, I don’t think we have even scratched the surface of this world! There is still so much we need to learn and I just can’t wait!!!
I have no idea if there will be a book 2 but my gosh I want one! I need one! I became so engrossed in Alex and his cirocals’ world. His band of misfits were entertaining and loyal and everything you want in friends and defenders.
The variation of creatures was fascinating too, learning about the mixture of “Breeds” and half “Breeds”. There really is so much to this book and world that I can’t wait for it to be expanded.
The writing sucked me in straightaway as from the very first page I was hooked. I have definitely ended the year on a high with this gem. It’s been sitting on my NetGalley shelf for far far far too long and in a way I am glad. I’m hoping it means that I don’t have to wait much longer for the next book!
It has been compared to so many popular books but in my opinion, it is its own little gem.
Until the next time xxx
