About this listen
All I wanted was to keep my head above water. To survive long enough to hit my 18th birthday so I could escape the nightmare that my homelife had become. But all of that was turned upside down the moment they showed up.
The best friend from my past. The surly brooder. The kindhearted nerd. The king of campus. The dark one.
They say they’re here to give me a fresh start in a place where I’m safe, warm, and cared for. And I can’t deny the pull I feel to all five of them. The buzz that lights beneath my skin when they touch me. And for the first time, I feel like I might belong.
But not everything is as it seems. These guys have secrets. Ones that will rip my world wide open. But when a dark evil begins stalking us, we’re all in for the fight of our lives.
Book one in a new paranormal why-choose reverse-harem romance trilogy from Amazon top 20 author Tessa Hale. Fated mates, powerful supernaturals, and an evil who is out for them all....

Story
My whole life has been characterized by fighting; fighting my family and fighting for my life. Trust me—the first one is completely voluntary, and a lot of fun. The second? Not so much. To say my family dynamic is weird is the understatement of the century. I held my first sword when I was only five years old, and I learned how to dispose of a body before I turned ten. I may have a penchant for pink and sparkles…but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to kick major ass as well.

It was supposed to be simple. All of that changed in a single breath. Because it turns out I'm not human. And I just knocked out the power on an entire city block. In a split second, all of my carefully-laid plans go up in smoke. There's no chance for college because I'm being hauled off to Kingwood Academy. They say it's for my own protection and those around me. But I know one thing for sure . . . I'm not welcome here.

It was supposed to be a fresh start. A completely blank slate in a place where no one knew about the tragedy that ripped her family apart six months ago. A tragedy Rowan can't help but blame herself for. Now the only thing she wants is to blend in. To escape the house that has become more like a prison. Her new school is her only hope. Somewhere she can pretend she's just like everyone else. Only Rowan doesn't realize how unique she is. Holden is the first to recognize it, but he's not the last.

Welcome to Fate Hollow Academy, where supernaturals blessed by the Fates cultivate their manifested powers and master ancient magic.

As the daughter of Dracula, you would think I’d be born the perfect monster. You couldn’t be more wrong. As far as monsters go, I’m a screw up—if I’m not tripping over my own feet, I’m accidentally murdering someone (it’s a real issue, guys). Left with no choice, Dad decides to send me to Prodigium—otherwise known as Monster Academy—to train me on how to be a better monster. When bodies turn up on campus, I’m the prime suspect (not that I can blame them).

Story
When my parents were murdered in cold blood, life became a shock in more ways than one. Obviously, my parents were sheltering me, and for good reason. Not only am I a dragoness, but there’s also a slightly insane-sounding prophecy. Something powerful has been asleep inside of me, lurking in the shadows. My spine is tingling, how about yours? I’m supposed to save the world. But first, I have a score to settle. Oh, and to fulfill the prophecy, I’m supposed to take on a mate. Or…more accurately, mates. As in, more than one. My inner beast is super-excited about it.

After my plane was sabotaged and crashed into the jungle, I rescued five male survivors from the wreckage. I could have let them die, but no, I decided to pull their stupid carcasses from the wreckage. I’m immortal, not a monster. Yes, they’re hot; now is not the time to do something about that. The five sexy jaguar-shifters are on a mission to locate someone, a rare phoenix-shifter. Phoenix, the legendary creature, reborn every time it dies. Wait…could they be looking for me? It doesn’t matter since they walked away and left me to die in the Amazon rainforest.

I always knew I was different; I just didn’t realize I belonged with the characters from horror movies. It turns out my abnormally accurate intuition is a bit more than that. I’m a psychic. And a witch. And the people that raised me? Not my biological parents. I would have loved a second to absorb this information, but the night I’m told the truth I get shipped off to a school for people like me...and shifters...and vampires (because they exist in real life, too).

Sunshine. It's a nickname I haven't heard since I lived on Woodbury Lane, where the houses were pretty, but the secrets? Deadly. It was a pet name known only to the Bullets. Rough, violent, and ruthless, they laid claim to the town - and my heart. I wasn't supposed to fall for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks‚ especially not four of them. But they were the only ones who understood that sometimes hell hides in plain sight.

You’re definitely not supposed to kiss your best friend while you’re dating someone else.

Since moving to Mystic Harbor, Maine, I've made it my life's mission to avoid Reese Blackburn at all costs. Sure, he has cheekbones that could cut glass, not to mention bedroom eyes that could melt any girl into a puddle on the floor. Too bad that doesn't change the fact he's completely stab-worthy. When a fun night out on the town turns deadly, I quickly discover the quaint little hamlet of Mystic Harbor houses more than sandy beaches and adorable B&Bs. Beneath the New England charm rests a world where shifters, demons, vampires, and angelic hunters all vie for power.

But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

The deal is simple: spend a month with a mysterious billionaire who is the owner of Louisiana’s La Petite Mort Casino, and he’ll forget my father’s gambling debts. If it means saving our family home and business, I’ll do anything. With his strong, sexy, take charge arrogance, Nicolas Dupont is a mystery to me. But it doesn’t matter how hot he is. This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me. I’m certainly not about to fall for a guy who thinks he can own me.

I’d lost everything after my parents passed away, but Hades was there, pen in hand, for me to sign my life away to him. I could have refused, but then I’d be without a home. Without a support system, I’d be penniless. So I said yes. Hades was my guardian. I was his ward. He was cruel. I was too innocent. The longer I was in his care, and the more I saw how cruel and cold he could be, the more I wanted him.

Legacy of Shadows ❤️
Legacy of Shadows was everything I needed!! I am absolutely in love with this new universe that Tessa created. Leighton is a super star, she’s an amazing and resilient FMC who has endured much more than someone should have, especially at her age. Her childhood crush Colt comes back into her life after years of radio silence but it’s not without cost. Leighton tries her best to survive the new threats in her life but it’s not easy. The guys are great, even Trace once we learn more about him. They’re all put into what seems like a situation that no one can win. The ending is really heartbreaking and I feel like Colt in particular needs to make up for the damage done. I’m crossing my fingers that there’s more then meets the eye with Leighton!

Loving Tessa Hale's newest series!!
Audiobook veteran, Vanessa Moyen, does an excellent job bringing life to the first book in Tessa Hale’s newest series, Supernaturals of Castle Academy. She is one of my favorite narrators for a good reason, able to bring different voices to a variety of characters. If you are going to go with a single narrator, she is the one to pick.
Legacy of Shadows was an exciting introduction to this new series! It is full of secrets, political intrigue, magic, shifters (of many varieties), fated mates, and overprotective males with ‘who hurt you’ vibes. It feels a bit darker than her last series, Royals of Kingwood Academy, but that is what made it so compelling and hard to put down.
There’s Leighton, who’s been pulled out of Louisiana and thrust into a world she knows nothing about, into the lives of Colt, Ronan, Dash, Trace, and Declan. She must deal with the antics of mean girls who want to piss all over the guys they think are theirs and learn to navigate a system she barely understands. It doesn’t help that the boys keep secrets and send her mixed signals, so she never really knows where she stands. The angst ratchets higher as painful truths get revealed.
The heat is smoldering and builds throughout, but this is a slow-burn romance with a ⓥⓘⓡⓖⓘⓝ FMC. I expect later books will rachet up the steam substantially as their relationships grow.
This baby ends in a whopper of a cliffhanger that I am still not quite over. Book two cannot get here soon enough because I am so thoroughly invested in this story, that the wait might ⓚⓘⓛⓛ me.
Genre: Paranormal Academy Romance
Tropes: Fated Mates, Shifters, Who Hurt You, Touch Her and ⓓⓘⓔ
Narrator: 1st Person POV, Single Narrator
Relationship Type: Why Choose, Slow Burn

Fantastic Book and Audiobook!
This is the first book in the brand new series, Supernaturals Of Castle Academy. This may have just taken over the spot of favorite book from this author. I absolutely loved it! It is one of those stories that is so intriguing, and addictive that you never want it to end. From the writing, storyline and storytelling, to the dynamic characters, character and relationship development, and world building, it is all incredible!
I also listened to the audiobook companion to this title, and let me say, it is fantastic! The Narrators do an excellent job bringing this amazing story to life!
Leighton is anxious to turn eighteen and escape her torturous home life when her childhood friend and his friends show up to take her away and keep her safe. But, can they keep her safe when the secrets they hold may put in more danger than ever? Can she survive in their world or will she run for the hills the first chance she gets?
If you are looking for a great paranormal, fated mates read, or listen, I would highly recommend this book and audiobook. I personally cannot wait for book two!

Great start to a new series!
4⭐️ 1🌶️ 4🎧
This was my first Tessa Hale book and it won’t be my last. I was hooked from the beginning all the way until the cliffhanger ending. I listened to this in one day because I could not put it down
Leighton has not lived a charmed life. After her father’s death she was as the mercy of her cruel mother and she was counting down the days until she turned 18 and could move out on her own. When one day her childhood friend Colt showed up and promised to take her away and keep her safe. But despite his promise she is thrust into a dangerous new world where she has to survive demons and mean girls all while fighting her attraction to Colt and his 4 friends. But Lost Boys were keeping secrets from her that would break her heart and put her life in danger.
I loved Leighton. She was so strong and had survived so much. My heart broke for her and the abuse she suffered since her father’s death. She handled the changes to her life so well and I didn’t blame her for fears and insecurities.
I really liked the all of the guys, I often struggle with remembering all of them clearly, especially when there are more than 3. But I think Tessa did a good job of making them all unique and I pretty much like all of them equally. Although Colt is on my 💩 list after that cliffhanger.
I really wish this book wasn’t just from Leighton’s POV. I really wanted to be inside the guys’ heads and was so glad there was a bonus chapter Colt’s POV.
I listened to the audiobook and thought Vanessa’s Moyen did a really great job. She had to do so many male voices.

“Trust us, trust yourself. Maybe we’re all meant to be.”
New Adult Paranormal/ Fantasy Romance
Reverse Harem 🎧📖
This was my first Tessa Hale read and Legacy of Shadows was everything I was looking for when I picked this up: a fun, sexy, intriguing, & darker, paranormal/fantasy romance.
I listened to Legacy of Shadows via audible and this was such an entertaining introduction to a new fantasy world. The narrator, Vanessa Moyen, was wonderful. Following along as Leighton struggles to fit into her new world, and become familiar with the handsome and mysterious men that are apart of that world, was absolutely addicting.
The chemistry was palpable in each uniquely formed relationship in this reverse harem. This story had just the right amount of a character development and world building that you would want in a new series. I may have screamed a bit at the end (cliffhanger) but thankfully the series is set to be completed in 2023. Anchor of Secrets, the second installment, has a release date of June 2023.
Now I’m off to explore more by Tessa Hale. Definitely recommend!

Yep, going for book 2
This storyline is pretty interesting. I was getting a little bothered about the FMC insecurities and self deprecating inner monologue. However, to her nemesis she’s a sassy confident female. I’m hoping I’m book 2 she finds her inner strength.
