À propos de cet audio

Welcome to Harker Academy for Deviant Defense. Keep your daggers sharp, and your wits even sharper.

Viv Abbot is an average twenty-one-year-old girl. She lives in an expensive city where the rent is too high, works long hours at a thankless job, and is dating a guy she doesn’t even like in the hopes of winning her prickly mother’s approval.

She also happens to be a demon hunter.

Ever since her father's murder, she's been forced to hunt deviants alone, meaning everyone, including her family, sees her as an outsider . . . until the day she crosses paths with a dangerously alluring demon, Reid Graveheart. The reformed deviant tells her of a school for people just like her: Harker Academy for Deviant Defense. If she enrolls, she'll learn to hone her craft, work with other hunters, and never be alone again.

But Viv has a deadly secret. One that not even her new friends at Harker can know about, not if the school might hold the answers to untangling the mystery surrounding Viv's father’s death. When strange occurrences begin to plague the students, Viv will have to figure out who she can trust, all while trying to ace her classes, avoid falling for a demon, and make it through her first year at Harker in one piece. How hard could that be?

I forgot how much I enjoy fantasy books with dark academia settings! This book was giving me CW show vibes - Like a Vampire Diaries and Lucifer mashup -Viv is a demon hunter, and Reid is a demon turned good guy.

Taylor Harvey solo narrated this one, with a teeny guest appearance by Teddy Hamilton (he narrated one character who appeared twice in the book for like 5 seconds). She did a good job, I was totally engaged and she was a great Viv, and also did the other characters justice.

I loved the worldbuilding in this one. It was easy to follow and I really enjoyed that this was an urban fantasy - I think it did a great job of bringing together recognizable everyday things with a secret underworld type of atmosphere. Humans are none the wiser in this one, and Viv is hiding her identity as a demon hunter. She gets invited to attended Harker Academy for Deviant Defense, where she'll learn how to fight and save the world from demons (aka deviants). Here she makes some new friends who understand her, and spars with Reid, the grumpy professor who seems to be against her. There were some lulls, but it would always pick up again and I felt the story moved along pretty steadily. The slow burn was agonizing, and it was so satisfying when they finally allowed themselves to act on the tension. There were a couple twists in the third act, and it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm very intrigued to see where this goes.

I hated the FMC very immature and so full of herself i enjoyed the narration alot but i would recommend to not waste your credit on a annoying FMC but its much better when you read it i think the narrator made the FMC sound more juvenile

Story was great

I loved every bit of this! Completely devoured it! It was such a refreshing read and I usually am not a fan of urban fantasy, but I may have just been converted!

Finally!

Fun characters, hot yearning, interesting storyline. It’s reminiscent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; but holds its own. The only thing that fell flat for me is that the male narrator, Teddy, didn’t do all of the male characters. Taylor did a good job but I think it would have been a better overall experience if she didn’t have to read some of the male characters. Having Taylor narrate Reids voice struck me as particularly odd. Great story though, a lot of fun to listen to. Can’t wait for Cursed City!

LOVED it!
