Demon Study
Kendal Davis - 2020
The worst part? People kept telling me I was supposed to save the world. Shouldn’t there be a class for that? I’m Echo. I led a perfectly normal life until I had to transfer to a magic academy in order to escape the hellhounds in the hallway. Grimway Academy was not totally unlike my old college. There were rich kids who looked down their noses at me. Also, there were books. That was pretty much the end of the similarities. At Grimway, demons and humans had mingled together for centuries, keeping the universe in balance. Now, however, the spells that encased the ancient castle were growing weak. If they failed, chaos would reign. Everywhere. According to Grimway lore, I could develop my magic faster if I had sex with seductive demon men. Yes, please. Only when I’d attracted the loyalty of a sensuous vampire and a boisterous firebringer could I get moving on this saving-the-universe stuff. Add in a sexy, broad-shouldered prefect who was a dreamwalker, just like me, and I was a happy woman. Or...I was a cursed college student whose world was about to end in fire. Author’s Note: Expect steamy reverse harem scenes, with no crossed swords. This book is for a mature audience.
