Brand New Blade
Riley London - 2019
Fall in love. Save the world. Welcome to Angel Academy. My name is Celeste Venoix and I’m no angel. I never had a family, so I’ve been taking care of myself ever since I was a kid. One night, some creep decides to follow me home from work, and I use my fists to put him in his place. After the brawl, a handsome stranger approaches me and tells me that I might be an angel. What the hell? The next thing I know, I’m enrolled at the Angel Academy. The academy is a place for angels-in-training to learn how to fight demons and become fluent in an ancient language or two. It’s hard enough trying to keep up with my classes, but somewhere between working on my swordsmanship and my Latin prepositions, I find myself falling for my best guy friend... And falling for a handsome stranger. And falling for a guy who totally hates my guts. All at the same time. Oh, and did I mention that demons keep trying to kill me and I have no idea why? God. It’s going to be one hell of a year. *Angel Academy is a university-age reverse harem series. 18+ #WhyChoose

I was born to do this—well, I thought I was until I met him. Now everything I thought I knew has changed.It was a normal tour, like all the rest, except Spencer isn’t like anyone I’ve ever met. How am I supposed to resist those sapphire blue eyes and the sexiest smile I’ve ever seen? I mentioned he’s hot, right? And it’s not just him. He has three friends. Three men who look at me like I am the sun and the moon.Just because Spencer saves me from a man whose speed is lightning fast and claims he and his pack mates have been looking for me doesn’t mean I should fall for them, does it? The temptation to give in to their suggestions is hard to resist. Maybe too hard. Maybe I wasn’t meant to point out tombstones and landmarks. Maybe there is something to the prophecy Spencer’s pack talks about. Maybe I don’t know sh*t about monsters after all. But now I believe in them.*Shifting Fates is the first book in the Crescent City Witch series, a reverse harem paranormal romance.
