DNF pretty much immediately.

Professor-student relationships are inherently gross. It doesn't matter the age, there's automatically a dramatic power imbalance. Also, it's strongly implied that the main character is just over eighteen. There's an obvious statement from the author that everybody is over eighteen so she can cover her bases, but she also calls the love interests "boys." Definitely getting a teenager vibe.

I was working my way past the whole age-difference thing, then the main character has passionate sex with a guy she literally just met a couple hours earlier. Fine, if she's an adult picking somebody up for a one-night stand, but this is a very young woman hooking up with someone in her class who is very obviously going to be a strong love interest. Oh, and she's a VIRGIN. With literally no dating experience. And they don't use any sort of protection. And then the aforementioned professor stops by to perv on her discarded panties on the floor. No. Just no.… (más)

Thoroughly addicting

Lucie was graduating high school and in one day learned her life wasn't what she thought. Raised as a human by a human she was floored upon receiving an acceptance letter to a college she'd never heard of. Imagine her surprise when her mother divulged she's not her birth mother, and in fact Lucie is a supernatural. Upon funding Lucie as a baby, her birth mum left a letter asking she go to a supernatural university to learn about her heritage. So she's among students who all grew up knowing what they were, and she learned days ago and has no clue of her heritage. On top of all that, she's got some massive trust issues and PTSD. Luckily on her first few days she meets a tribe of hot guys that worn their way into her heart with humor, kindness and friendship. See where this road takes her. It's well worth the read. I for one am cheering this amazing, fierce, resilient young lady on and I can't wait for her to discover her identity and past in the books to come!… (más)

Pure magical sprinkles and joy!!

What an absolute joy of a new series!!! Aris is a unique a witch that ever was. Bubble gum pink hair, clumsy as can be but with a HUGE heart and sense of humor. Sadly her well to do, "well bred" society witch parents find her an eternal disappointment as she's a Mixta ... Meaning she can't cast magic of her own. Her entire life she's been looked down upon , ridiculed, and blamed constantly for things that she'd not done. So it's a huge relief when sent away to school. How was she to know her entire world was about to change in an instant? She is instantly drawn to a few certain witches... Oddly feeling a magical pull towards them. Surely that's all in her mind though...right? Looks like maybe there something here that nobody in the magic community was aware of. Could she be more than a mere Mixta? Suddenly gaining elemental abilities out of the blue? Professors already thought her odd on day one with her ability to move things without a rune, power word or incantation. If they found THAT odd wait until the end of term. Between being bullied by elite mean girl witches, and odd magical outbursts... Strange events, missing items and attacks toward her keep happening. Something out of the norm is definitely going on here. Here is hoping her five sweet guys can help figure this all out. Filled with humor, lots of witchy goings on, political snobbery, bizarre events, and just a lot of fun... This book is a great introduction to the new series!!!! I love the cast of characters so far and the world building. Aris is an absolute JOY that has me cheering her on the moment we're introduced to her. I can't wait to see what's for this pint sized bundle of sprinkles and happiness.… (más)
