Hades Academy Series by Abbie Lyons

I thought I could survive anything—until I met actual demons. Ever since my mother disappeared, I’d been fending for myself on the streets of New York by running scams—anything to get a dollar. So when I almost lightning-blast my latest victim (WTF), and some guy in a slick suit saves me from the cops by telling me I’m half-demon (double WTF) and I belong at a place literally called Hades Academy? I figured I was the one getting scammed. But no. My name is Nova Donovan, and I’m half-demon... moreI thought I could survive anything—until I met actual demons.

So when I almost lightning-blast my latest victim (WTF), and some guy in a slick suit saves me from the cops by telling me I’m half-demon (double WTF) and I belong at a place literally called Hades Academy? I figured I was the one getting scammed. But no. My name is Nova Donovan, and I’m half-demon. Next thing I know, I’m flying in a horse-drawn carriage on my way to a place I didn’t even know existed until twenty minutes before. Hades Academy is 100% real: a school for demons to learn the magic that will keep the forces of Chaos at bay. But if I thought survival at Hades Academy was going to be any easier, I could not have been more wrong. Now I have to deal with tough new classes, a bitchy mean girl who hates my half-human guts, and the attention of several hot but dangerous dudes. Oh, and did I mention that someone’s trying to destroy the school? Yeah—survival’s going to take more than I thought. Hades Academy: First Semester is a magic academy NA paranormal fantasy novel with a slow-burn romance and a kickass heroine. Although there are love triangles, this is NOT a reverse harem.

New year. New rules. When my first year at Hades Academy ended, everything had changed. I’d gotten a hole blown in the school, broken a powerful magical vow, and barely escaped with my life. I thought things would finally settle down, but now that I’m back on campus, it turns out the changes were just beginning. For one thing, the school stuck us all with new roommates—what?—and mine is a total weirdo (which is putting it nicely)... moreNew year. New rules.

I thought things would finally settle down, but now that I’m back on campus, it turns out the changes were just beginning. For one thing, the school stuck us all with new roommates—what?—and mine is a total weirdo (which is putting it nicely). For another, I have to deal with all new classes, including learning how to channel my newfound powers of persuasion and seduction (which, are you kidding me?). Even my friendships with Teddy and Morgan feel different. Plus, something’s seriously up with Raines now that his half-brother’s gone. Oh, and if that weren’t enough, we’ve got a trip planned to Elysium to mix and mingle with some guardians at the annual ball. But most important? The results of my examinations are getting me closer than ever to finding out who my mom was, and where she went. And she might be in huge danger. So I have to find her, whatever it takes. Even if that means risking everything—and everyone—I’ve gained from Hades Academy.

Nothing about the end of my second year at Hades will be easy. With my mom on the loose with the Children of Abaddon, I have no way to know when—or if—I'm being watched. That on top of my new responsibilities as a higher-order demon (which are totally insane, by the way) and Morgan's determination to stage a coup over the Hades social system and finally get revenge on Camilla are making things less than easy to navigate. Oh, and everything heating up with Raines.. moreNothing about the end of my second year at Hades will be easy.

Oh, and everything heating up with Raines...yeah, that doesn't help either. Because I can't trust myself with him. less

My last year at Hades Academy begins...With Abaddon looming on the horizon, I have to look any and everywhere to find help—even look to the one person I never thought I'd speak to again. Because the future of Hades might be at stake. And now Elysium Academy, too—because the guardians are gone. All totally missing.And we have to figure out why... moreMy last year at Hades Academy begins...With Abaddon looming on the horizon, I have to look any and everywhere to find help—even look to the one person I never thought I'd speak to again. Because the future of Hades might be at stake. And now Elysium Academy, too—because the guardians are gone. All totally missing.And we have to figure out why.I know I can trust my friends, and that Raines will fight to the death for me, but I can't trust anyone else now—least of all Camilla—even as we're forced to learn guardian skills. Because the very balance of the earth is falling apart. less

As my final semester at Hades dawns, I have choices to make. But first, I have to survive.Camilla's officially gone to the dark side—like that's a surprise—and Abaddon is gaining strength every day. There's a spy in Hades who can't be trusted—except we have no idea who it is. And my own battle over my feelings for Raines can't be ignored.Things are heating up in every sense of the word, and if my life doesn't end when all this finishes, it'll definitely never be the same.
