Publisher's Summary

I thought I was ordinary Rory Franco: college student, artist, and over-protected daughter. Then, mages barge into my family’s home, murder my parents, and whisk me off to a university known as Villain Academy.
 

It turns out I’m Persephone Bloodstone, the long lost heir to one of the five royal families of dark magic. I’m destined to learn how to manipulate the world with fear - and to stand beside the four other scions: the scorching-hot, arrogant young men who rule this school.
 

The four of them crush anyone who doesn’t kowtow. No way in hell will I bow to any villain, no matter how brutally alluring. They can turn on the charm or tear me down, but they can’t break me.
 

They’ve never met anyone like me before. I don’t care about ruling. I just want to avenge the people I loved.
 

It doesn’t matter what kind of magic runs through my veins. I’m taking Villain Academy down.
 

Cruel Magic is the first in a university-age paranormal academy series. Expect magical villainy, a tough heroine who bends to no one’s will, a dollop of steam, and a slow-burn reverse harem romance where there'll be no choosing required.

Really enjoyed!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the rest of the series. I’m on my second listen through a few years later and I am enjoying it just as much; if not more, than the first listen.
The characters and their subsequent development is well written. The romance doesn’t seem forced, and the relationships evolve over time in a way that had me rooting for every character. The magic system is well developed and really interesting. Great world building! This was my first RH story and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I genuinely enjoyed the story and each romance. The narration is well done. I would recommend this series!

terrible book

boring, bad voices, and a all around bad story line. couldn't finish it. I would only recommend if u like the main character being picked at by everyone constantly.
