Demonic Education #4
Demon Lord Academy 4
A dying father and a new ally—it’s time for Jake’s hardest test yet.
Even with the shaky truce with Ramona, Jake’s life inside the Nine Circles is hardly peaceful. Samael the sorcerer is still out there, and his next move threatens the very existence of the Nine Circles, right down to the fabric of time itself.
That’s not the only trouble that’s brewing though. From disgruntled archlords to vengeful angels, Jake and his friends, including the beautiful Amara Hightower, will have their hands full trying to keep the demonic realm intact.
Especially when one explosive bombshell destroys one of his closest allies.
The saga continues with book four of Demon Lord Academy!

MC is as dense as usual. I'm glad things are staying consistent. I found it pretty funny, and ironic, in that one scene where MC is watching a movie with one of the girls, and she complains about how predictable it is, and he agrees, meanwhile they are both unaware that they are in quite a predictable story themselves. Take Mr. Woods as the surprise bad guy for example. Who didn't see that one coming? Maybe if Shane Hammond hadn't spent at least one sentence in every paragraph where MC and Woods are together having MC talk about how great Woods is, and how much he trusts and likes him. Sigh. And hey MC, how about not doubting the character of one of your professors solely because he hates your guts. There's literally no other evidence that Prof Tolsen is a traitor but because he's an asshole and hates MC, oh it must be him, out of everyone else at the bloody school including tons of people you don't even know. At least the story is pretty good, i can't wait to see how they fix their current conundrum.

Returning to this series after a couple months, it was overall not bad. Jake didn't feel as annoying this time (or I've just reached acceptance). Emma is little annoying but she is also the catalyst of the better sex scenes (the felcher), so I guess that balances. Unfortunately, the villains continue to be subpar (the sorcerer's convoluted Flashpoint plan was ridiculous). Also, why can't Jake go five minutes without getting cursed? Anyway, apparently there are two more books after this and I am mildly interested in seeing how it all shakes out.

Four Books and Counting
Great storytelling with lots of plot twists and turns . The story is easy to read because the spelling, grammar and proofreading was well above very good. The hero is really heroic and his harem are dedicated and have his back. Even when all seems lost they rise up to do what’s right. Looking forward to book five!

Wow, the intensity of the story has greatly increased
The obstacles facing the main characters are astronomical and feeling overwhelming. The author has done an excellent job of setting a vast number of action points moving at the same time and keeping the reader rabid for answers. Book 5 will be tremendous.

Marco's 'descent' into madness felt a bit off. Instead of showing his mental state actually unraveling, the book uses cutaway scenes to jump between increasingly radical choices. Without more depth, his 'Demonic Overlord' goal feels like a thin justification for some pretty extreme behavior, making his total transformation feel hollow by the end.

Great Read!
This series gets better and better as it goes along , the characters are all well developed and it's been good to see their progression. I hope the author continues in this manner and gives this series what it deserves.

A Great Series.
You can't go wrong with Shane Hammond. The MCs are top-notch. They would make a Marine proud. Keep it up. You won't be disappointed.
