Vile Trials
Isabella King - 2019
But the night I’m convicted of a crime I don’t remember committing, I’m sentenced to an unbearable fate—I’ve been enrolled in the Magic Academy for Troubled Monsters. Without so much as a goodbye, I’m shipped off to the haunted old campus in Upstate New York and stripped of all contact with the outside world. But I don’t belong here. I’m not a monster. And despite badass students, a weirdly cool atmosphere, and a trio of gorgeous, wildly different boys that are inexplicably interested in me? I can’t stay here. And there’s only one way out—the Vile Trials. Wickedly difficult, totally unpredictable, and grossly public, the Trials are the only hope I have of returning to my normal life. And if I want to pass them, I have to push away the fear of my power, and learn to embrace it. Even if that means opening myself up to danger, daring, and most frightening of all—love.
Welcome to the MAFTM—get ready for a badass heroine, a college academy brimming with every monster imaginable, and a steamy reverse harem—no choosing necessary.
