Fortuna Academy Series by J.B. Trepagnier

What exactly did dear old mum get up to before I was born? I was supposed to be going to Harvard on a full ride. I’ve always been excellent at chemistry. Turns out my knack for chemicals was because my mum is a witch and a potions master. Did I mention she summoned a demon for a ritual and Lucifer himself came? Can I tell you how weird it is to go from card carrying atheist to finding out Satan is your dad? Harvard is out. My magic was bound when I was a baby... moreWhat exactly did dear old mum get up to before I was born? I was supposed to be going to Harvard on a full ride. I’ve always been excellent at chemistry. Turns out my knack for chemicals was because my mum is a witch and a potions master. Did I mention she summoned a demon for a ritual and Lucifer himself came? Can I tell you how weird it is to go from card carrying atheist to finding out Satan is your dad? Harvard is out. My magic was bound when I was a baby. Apparently, now I’m going to Fortuna Conservatory instead because once I’m unbound, I can cause hell on earth. Something about being the princess of Hell.I’m engaged to be married to who I thought was my mother’s cat and a boy from my high school I’ve nicknamed Cockblocker. Oh, he’s actually a hellcat and I hate him. I’m trying to get out of it. My high school ex is a hellhound and he’s at Fortuna with me. He’s unusually interested in who my father is and would have known what I was when we were dating. In fact, there are two hellhound leaders here that are just a little too interested in dear old dad. I’m woefully behind in everything since I was raised as human. A green haired warlock has taken me under his wing to help me with magic. A vampire tutor was arranged for me by the woman who foretold my birth.All the answers about me came in a vision to the hellcat’s mother, Lilith. She’s the one moving pieces in the background. She’s arranging marriages, choosing my classes, and putting people in my path. She’s also avoiding giving us any answers. Can I navigate a magical school when I have no training, not kill this hellcat I’m engaged to, manage my crushes on the warlock and vampire, and still survive with two huge hellhounds sniffing around? Something big is happening. My birth wouldn’t have been foretold if it wasn’t. I need to unlock all of my gifts as half angel half witch because whatever is going on, I’ve only scratched the surface. less

New enemies, new allies. I survived my first year at Fortuna Academy. Lucifer met my mates and it wasn’t totally mortifying. I met Azriel’s mom and she’s not that bad. We’re all back at school and we have a mission—find that prophecy and figure out who tried to poison Keane. Everyone in our group has a least favorite Hellhound they suspect of doing the deed, but really, we have nothing.That is, until Lilith comes through with information from school records... moreNew enemies, new allies.

Everyone in our group has a least favorite Hellhound they suspect of doing the deed, but really, we have nothing.That is, until Lilith comes through with information from school records. Both Hellhounds that have been harassing me have secrets, but this one ties back to Keane and the Lilim.We finally find the prophecy as we gather more allies. Even with the warlock police and Hellhounds on our side, I’m woefully under prepared for any of this. Suck it up, buttercup. That’s my only option. With Lucifer as my father and all the prophecies surrounding my birth, the only thing I can do is figure things out. I’m the Princess of Hell. I can do this, right? less

Where no hope is left, is left no fear My familiar brings us word. Another one of my mates has their life on the line with this deadly game with the Hellhounds and the mysterious Prince of Hell. They don’t seem to know Lilith is on our side. We have our secrets too. The game strikes a little too close to home and I’m in a fighting mood. It’s time to fight back. I have this idea I can play the Hellhounds like they’ve been trying to play me... moreWhere no hope is left, is left no fear My familiar brings us word.

My little game goes a little too far as my angel gifts start appearing when I’m not trying to call them.My list of allies is growing. The Warlock Council is on our side and Lilith has brought in the Lust Demon Council. We have more Hellhound allies now too. We know who is behind trying to kill my mates. Lilith is not taking the attempt on Keane’s life lightly. She has a plan and all I know about Lilith’s plots is that they are devious and they always work. We were warned something big was in the works. We all should have taken that a lot more seriously because the Prince has made his move and the people I love are in danger. -with bonus chapter from Lucifer’s point of view less

If I click my heels together three times and wish hard enough, can I save Hell? Hell is so not like what they tell you about when they are trying to scare you. It’s actually kind of nice when you aren’t there to take on an insane Prince of Hell. I’ve got allies. I’ve managed to get most of the supernatural groups working together. Lilith and I open a Hellmouth to an area of Hell called the Sacred Forest and I lose all ability to even when I see who all lives there... moreIf I click my heels together three times and wish hard enough, can I save Hell? Hell is so not like what they tell you about when they are trying to scare you. It’s actually kind of nice when you aren’t there to take on an insane Prince of Hell. I’ve got allies. I’ve managed to get most of the supernatural groups working together. Lilith and I open a Hellmouth to an area of Hell called the Sacred Forest and I lose all ability to even when I see who all lives there. Dead gods, demons who used to run amok in the Underworld when it went by different names, and all the souls of magical creatures you only read about in stories. My new allies include Hades, Osiris, Anubis, Centaurs, fairies, an Egyptian fire breathing snake woman named Sesy, and a lot of nine headed jackal men who eat the flesh of souls in Hell. A corrupt Prince of Hell might have every Hellhound soul in Hell on his side, but there are chinks in his armor. He lied to them about me and he lied about killing my father. Hell hath no fury like a Hellhound that has been lied to, nor the Princess of Hell when fallen angel decides to bring that much drama into her life. less
