Shadow War Academy Book 1

I woke up to see myself in a burning building while being dragged from it. I'm told that I am Sena and have four shadows that hate me but also need me. I'm just playing along until I can get out of here. Only the more I learn about this world and who Sena was, I want to fix things. But someone knows who I am, and I'm being blackmailed. Will I be able to get out of all of this?

This is the first book in the Shadow War Academy. Our main character Sena is strong and understands a harder side than anyone realizes. But she is new to this world and trying to keep up without being killed. The guys aren't much help, believing the worst in her based on their experiences with her. They are all different types of shadow daddies each using shadows differently. The world is dark and gritty with magic and monsters. But there is an underline darkness that is more than what everyone seems to know. It keeps you turning the page to see how the story will move forward. I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read the next book, Shadow Fated.

“Death was supposed to be my end. Instead, it was just the beginning.

I woke up in someone else’s body, inside the Shadow Academy, a school for elite warriors. Now they think I’m someone I'm not, and until I escape, I’ll have to play along.

But things get complicated when strange powers awaken inside me, along with forgotten memories.

Then there are the four Elite Shadows who hate me for some reason, but also think I’m their mate:

Knox, the lethal assassin who hears my every thought and whispers back in a voice like sin. Malakai, the Shadow shifter who sees through my eyes—and likes what he finds. Theon, whose shadows alone cause pain, pretends to be cold, but one hint of my fear sends him feral. And Cyrus, the nightmare Shadow who slithers into my dreams just to play.

Between brutal classes, war camps, and deadly games against a rival academy, I’m also hunting the truth. Because this body isn’t the only thing that’s stolen. My death was no accident. And if they think I’ll play by their rules, they’re dead wrong.

Answers or ashes. Maybe I’ll just end up burning this place down.”
