Daizlei Academy Boxset: The Complete Collection
Kel Carpenter - 2019
Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences.

You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day . . . we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one. Because in our world? They would kill me if they knew the truth of what I am. Daizlei Academy is a school for Supernaturals. And me? I’m so much more. *This is a New Adult Academy series with slow-burn romance and a strong but flawed heroine. It is labeled New Adult for stronger language and some mature situations.
