Durand Supernatural Academy #1
Heart of a Vampire
A supernatural campus. A deadly mission. And three distracting men she should definitely not be falling for.
Jackie Durand only agreed to go to the supernatural college to appease her parents. She'd rather be following in her mother's footsteps chasing down rogue vampires than sitting in Econ 101.
Until the Vampire Hunter Guild needs her to help flush out a rebel group hell bent on destroying everything her family had built.
Now Jackie has a mission and that didn't include a shadow wielding vampire, a golden retriever werewolf, and her new professor getting in the way.
With seven dads, Jackie thought she knew how to handle love. She will soon learn that love comes in the most unexpected places and with even worse timing.
Will she accomplish her goal or will she finally figure out what's really worth fighting for?

The details are a mess but the story is interesting
We start this story with a very quick realization from the author that it is not in fact book one. There is a prior series that sets the foundation of this universe up but you can jump in here anyway. There is a sense of missing some information but I don't believe it is anything that would be established in the parents books since it's all Jack intrinsic.
A lot of it is a general sense of details going wonky and causing confusion. For example, Tate and Kyren have been together for 50 years but suddenly it's only been 5 years. Only new vamps are really affected by the sun but suddenly Kyren can't go outside because it's daylight but he was turned over 100 years ago and was outside during the day in the early part of the book.
Main character wise, I don't really love or hate most of them. Jack is a decent FMC despite her lack of backbone in arguments that solely affect her. Tate and Kyren have a slightly vague background but they're decent personality wise. I don't understand why they are in college though considering their ages and experiences. Julian however is a terrible MMC. Someone needs to shove him into an isolation cell to think about his actions for a few years.
The side characters are a bit annoying. I hate her parents. Starting here just makes me uninterested in the original series because they're brainless fools at this point. The other students are mostly just in the way except for xinyi, the overenthusiastic puppy like girl. I swear she piddles every time she sees Jack or anyone she likes.
Story wise, the pacing is steady and on the quicker side. Editing is pretty solid. I want to know what happens but I'm not fully enthralled so I'm debating if I should continue the series at this point.

Heart of a Vampire by Erin Bedford took me on an emotional journey I never wanted to end. This story has everything I crave in a dark fantasy romance—vampires dripping in danger and allure, wolves with fierce loyalty, witches bound by ancient power, and humans caught in the beautiful chaos of it all. But beyond the supernatural battles and seductive tension, there’s something deeply human about this book. It’s about love found in the shadows, trust earned through pain, and the way broken souls can still fit perfectly together.
From the very first page, I was pulled into Bedford’s lush, atmospheric world. The writing is vivid and magnetic—it doesn’t just tell the story, it enchants you. Every scene feels alive with emotion, whether it’s a tense standoff, a quiet confession, or one of those perfectly steamy moments that make you forget to breathe. The world-building is layered with mystery and magic, but it’s the characters that truly make this story unforgettable.
Kyren… oh, Kyren. The way he commands shadows is mesmerizing, but it’s the depth behind his darkness that broke and healed me all at once. He’s powerful, yes, but also deeply haunted—a creature of night with a heart that still dares to love. And Tate? Let’s just say his moments are pure 🔥 perfection. He brings both levity and intensity, the kind that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
What I loved most is how Erin Bedford balances the emotional and the erotic. The spice is divine—tantalizing without ever overshadowing the story’s heart. Each intimate scene feels earned, layered with emotion and vulnerability. It’s not just about physical attraction; it’s about connection, trust, and surrender.
By the time I turned the final page, my heart was full—aching, but full. The story’s blend of love, loss, and redemption left me thinking long after I finished. Bedford reminds us that even in worlds drenched in blood and darkness, love can still bloom—and that sometimes, the most broken hearts are the ones that shine the brightest.
If you love paranormal romance with substance, steam, and soul, Heart of a Vampire is everything you’re looking for. It’s seductive, emotional, and beautifully written—a story that will stay with you long after the moon fades and the shadows fall away.

Heart of a Vampire by Erin Bedford is an exciting mix of fantasy, mystery, and romance that pulls you in right from the start. The story follows a strong and relatable heroine who suddenly finds herself caught up in a dangerous world filled with vampires and secrets. Erin Bedford’s writing is easy to follow but still detailed enough to make the scenes come alive.
What I really liked about the book is how it balances action with emotion. The characters feel real, especially the main one, and her reactions make the story believable. The chemistry between the characters adds just the right amount of tension and romance without taking away from the main plot.
Overall, Heart of a Vampire is a fun and addictive read that keeps you curious until the end. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys supernatural stories with a mix of mystery, humor, and heart.

This was addictive. I absolutely devoured this one.
The plot is compelling.
You’ve got a shadow daddy vampire (hell yes).
A wolf shifter with a heart of gold.
A traumatized Hunter who is vampire royalty.
A forbidden romance with another Hunter.
The characters are so complex and multifaceted. Each person has an incredible backstory which we have only scratched the surface for. The relationship that develops between Tate and Jack is honestly incredible. The easy laughter they share, the banter, the teasing, the romantic moments? Perfection. I was smiling, kicking my feet and swooning so hard for this man.
Then you’ve got Mr shadow daddy himself (and let’s be for real right now, there is just something about the broody, mysterious shadow daddies in books that just hits so different and Kyren is no exception), Kyren. He is that tall, dark, broody and handsome with that dangerous edge to him that’s all perfectly balanced with how protective, possessive and more than touch her and die vibes, you can’t help but root for him.
The twists here were diabolical. Jack is everything. She is so strong, so fiercely independent, wants to step out of her family’s shadow and overprotectiveness, so smart and crazy determined to be successful in her field of choice. She is dealing with heavy trauma and doing her best to navigate her new mission with balancing her ex that she clearly still has feelings for, feelings for new guys all while trying to be a student for the first time at a real school, being social and trying to uncover a whole rebellion. What could possibly go wrong?
The spice here is perfect.
The relationship dynamics are so well done.
The side characters are fantastic.
You can tell despite the families and councils trying to creat harmony between the races that something is going to explode and soon.
4.5⭐️

I went into this expecting a fun paranormal romance, but I wasn’t expecting to be hooked from the very first chapter.
From the opening pages, I was completely pulled into the world Erin Bedford created. The blend of fantasy, mystery, and looming danger had me constantly wanting to know what was coming next, and every chapter seemed to leave me with even more questions in the best way possible.
One of my favourite things about this book was the characters. With multiple love interests, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish everyone’s personalities, but that wasn’t the case here. Every character felt unique, well developed, and brought something completely different to the story. I never found myself getting them mixed up, and each relationship added another layer to the plot.
What really surprised me, though, was how emotionally invested I became. I found myself feeling every ounce of their heartbreak, fear, and determination. Their pain genuinely felt like my own at times, and that’s always a sign that an author has created characters worth caring about.
If you’re looking for a paranormal romance packed with why choose, vampires, werewolves, forbidden romance, morally grey love interests, mystery, and a cast you’ll quickly become attached to, I’d definitely recommend picking this one up.
A solid 4 stars from me, and I’m already looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.

“I can taste when your cycle is near,” he murmured, more to himself than to me.
Kyren’s eyes lifted, pupils blown wide. “When it happens,” his words brushed over my sensitive core, “I want you on my face.”
I honestly wasn't sure what I was expecting with this book. I wasn't aware there was more to this story, I'm guessing, about the parents, because I felt like we were missing certain key details. Maybe they're mild, maybe they aren't. In any case, the plot was thin, and the love interests were meh. I just don't understand stories where you can start dropping the "L word" after one month.
When Jack is supposed to be focusing on her mission, she is too busy having sex to even care. Every character was surface level, there weren't any real stakes. I found myself more bored than anything.
This story wasn't convincing to me. The characters weren't convincing to me.

I rated this one more star than I would have because I love that their kid got her own story. The plot idea was interesting. But how it was written plot whole wise was not. Our fml is supposed to be focused on her mission and a trained hunter, but all she can think about is makeout time. She hears important intel and does not even look at who said it. And a very important meeting that could change the whole case, she misses because shes having sexy time. And one of the important characters hates her at the end because his POS sire was killed when he kidnapped her as a child. Hello? Your sire hurt a kid and you hate said traumatized kid for it. He called her mom a puta too for protecting her child from a kidnapper. The fml was an awful liar too. I wish this book focused more on plot than the sexy time

Heart of a Vampire is book one in the author’s new Durand Supernatural Academy series that follows MFC Jackie Durand who only let her parents talk her into attending her name sake to appease them when hunting Vampire’s like her mother is what she wants to be doing. Better than listening to professors droll on.
Then she is given a secret mission inside the academy and the suspense ramps up, along with three love interests.
A good story that was nicely written with well crafted characters, romance, intrigue, personal vulnerability, surprises, and passion which kept the heart pounding at every turn.
Awesome, entertaining read.

MMFM
With one MMC she had a prior tryst with but he then proceeded to ignore her since he’s a superior and it’s wrong even though he still keeps the underwear from their time together. The MM is between the werewolf and vampire and there is some good sharing scenes. Jack is undercover so no one knows who she really is but it is revealed in the least couple chapters and some people definitely feel betrayed. I kinda hate how it put Tate in the middle since he lives both Jack and Kyren but he can’t be with both since they now hate each other even though they were definitely in love before learning their identities.

• Why choose
• Supernatural academy
• Paranormal Romance
• Multi POV
• Boyfriends are boyfriends
• FMC has 7 dads
Loved the supernatural world, (needless to say I´ll start Reading House of Durand series) vampires, werewolves, witches, hunters, human servants…. Plus the 7 DAD´s hahah I really wanna know their dynamic
Jack´s a great FMC, she’s badass, sassy, funny, super strong, yet naïve in some aspects but it’s really funny how she start to enjoy herself, and the MMC´s I can’t imagine how Julian and Kyren are going to interact maybe they can work it out…in bed 🥵 hahaha
Anyway, I can’t wait for the next book I NEED it ASAP

I liked this book, but I was very confused about the outcome. This book doesn’t have a second part, which was not good news. As a mood reader, it just left me confused. The book itself was good but seemed rushed, and honestly, everything could have been avoided with just a conversation.
In terms of the dynamics between the FMC and the Wolf MMC, the Vamp MMC just seems hung up on a pointless grudge, and I don’t even know what’s going on with the Professor MMC. I don’t see how this could turn into a why-choose. A why-choose with the Wolf MMC and Vamp MMC — yes, I can 100% see how that would work. One with all four? I’m skeptical.
I liked it overall; it just seemed rushed.

The Heart of a Vampire is the first book in a Branch-off series from the House of Durand series. It has passion and romance along with hidden secrets. I found the Heart of a Vampire to be very captivating and loved each page. I was pulled into the story from page one and held captive until the very end. I found the story to flow wonderfully throughout every read page. I loved it so much I couldn't put it down.
The FMC is the daughter of some amazing parents and when offered the chance for a distinguished education at a Supernatural college she goes, but this schooling has surprises, secrets and Heated Romance around each corner. Plus there are mix-ups with housing for our fierce FMC.
The MMC's are quite the handful for our courageous FMC One has a secret and the other is a sweety. MMC 2 is a Werewolf and I found him to be extreme a caring and protective and the definite swoon worthy type. MMC 1 is a Broody Vampire but when he gets started in the passion he doesn't let up.
So, if you enjoy a Broody Dark MMC, A Golden Protective Tender Loving MMC, Heated Romance, A Jealous Handsome Professor and a Strong FMC then you need this book. but I highly recommend that you start with the series that started this adventure out.

Heart of a Vampire is book one in the Durand Supernatural Academy series and is Jackie Durand's story. If you read the House of Durand series, then you met Jackie's parents, and I loved that we are now getting the next generation's story. Jackie wants to be a vampire hunter like her mother, but her parents want her to go to college. But why can't she do both and have fun at the same time? This is a great start to the series with interesting characters, mystery, humor, romance, and steam. After that ending I can't wait to read the next book in the series to find out what happens next. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
July 21, 2026
I really liked this, but there were a couple of things holding it back. For one the world building was not the best. That is probably because this is a spinoff of another series and I did not read the original. I do still think it can be read without reading the original series, but it is a tad bit confusing. The other thing is I’m not 100% sold on one of our MMCs. I absolutely love Tate and Kyren, but Julian is lacking big time. I understand the asshole MMC troupe, but I don’t like that he’s an asshole for no reason and a lot of times it surpasses asshole and goes straight into being prejudice to other supernaturals. I’m excited to continue on to the next book.

Spice, Spice, and more spice!
This first instalment of the Supernatural Academy series is incredible. It is fast paced, intense from the get go and a solid 4.5 on the spiceometer. It begins with determination for self proving and then very quickly develops in to a lusty need between three characters, the ending will leave you a tad bit heartbroken; I’m just glad there is a second book, otherwise, my heart truly would be broken! Defo recommend, especially if you’re looking for a storyline for your spice😉

So good! This one was on my TBR and I decided I was in the mood for vampires! Jack is a hunter who comes from a family of 7 dads and a mom. Her dads are vampires with one human servant. Jack just wants to be a great hunter, and is, in her own right a great hunter. Her parents decided to send her on an undercover mission to their academy. Her contact is her ex fling and the tension between them is hot! She meets two other men, a vampire and his werewolf servant. The sword crossing in this book is *chefs kiss. A lot of spice in this adventure! I can’t wait for book 2!
July 23, 2026
I liked this book. I really did. But i just felt like the whole series was rushed. like the author couldn’t wait to move on. We didn’t get an ending to their relationship. Like all four of them are there any certain roles between them. How do they live daily life together. What’s their future plans. Do they have kids. It just ended and then that was that. got a couple pages of them meeting the parents and a tease of what the fmc might think will happen. And that’s that. I read these books within three days. the last book was the shortest in the series. It had potential but she rushed it.

Loved this series so far!!! Honestly a lot better than pipers story just by the writing and how it’s written and organized. I do wish there was a couple or at least one or two chapters from Tate and Kyren’s POV about them talking about their thoughts and subtle suspicions of Jack later on the this book, like around Tates and Jack’s first date outing. The writing is a lot better with this series so far and that it seems to have a normal number of books in the series and that the author didn’t drag out the story with 8/9 books, that could’ve been 4/5 books.

This is the first book in the Durand Supernatural Academy series and I’m so excited. I loved the previous series with the Durand’s and now we get to learn more about their daughter, Jack. She’s determined to be a hunter and she gets a mission to infiltrate the academy as a student to find the supernatural rebels. The characters and the story were amazing. I feel heartbroken about Jack, Tate and Kyren. I can’t wait until the next book to find out what happens.
November 10, 2025
The narrative was engaging, and the plot was well-paced. While some aspects could have benefited from further elucidation, I found the reading experience to be enjoyable overall. The characters were also quite memorable, and the world-building, though not entirely perfect, was immersive enough to keep me turning the pages.

Jackie Durand would rather hunt down rogue vampires than attend a college for supernaturals but maybe going in to find any issues that may be occurring she could finally have some freedom from people knowing who she is because going undercover means no one knows who she is and the notoriety that her family name brings and gives her the chance to have some freedom but with freedom comes the attraction of three distracting men who could turn her life upside down.

The story perfectly blends dark romance, mystery, and supernatural elements, creating a world that’s both thrilling and seductive. The main character is strong yet relatable, and her chemistry with the vampire love interest is intense and full of tension.
The pacing is fast, the writing style engaging, and the world-building feels vivid and immersive. I especially enjoyed how the author mixed academy life with danger and romance it kept me turning pages late into the night.

I enjoyed this first book in the Durand Supernatural Academy series. I was hooked from start to finish and am looking forward to the next instalment in this trilogy.
The characters are well-drawn, the story was well thought out, and it was so moving at times. I can't wait to see what happens next in Jack, Tate and Kyren's journey.

The first book in the Durand Supernatural Academy, and the first book in the trilogy.The story follows Jack, a hunter living a double life while undercover at a supernatural academy. She soon finds herself falling for two students—a wolf and a vampire—who tragically turn out to be deeply connected to a terrible event from her past. I will be reading the next book.

Man I missed the Durands!
I love Jack, she is a little firecracker. Her guys, oh my heart. It should be a non issue, if he knew back when she was 10 and didn't care well then she should stake him.🧛🤪But it wasn't the Durands fault, definitely not Jacks, and hopefully not Kearen (don't know if I spelled that right?) But Kleon deserved what he got. Poor Tate, just caught in the middle. Will the professor pull his head outta his elbow? Can't wait fir book two. Loved it!

Such a good read!!!
I loved the storyline of hunters vamps etc.
I did get a little confused one minute it was described that they would be nocturnal but with how somethings where describes sometimes were asif that was not the case.
Also very confused on the hunters being ruled by vamps but they clearly have serious issues further than just taking out the bad ones??
I neeeeeeed the second book I can’t be left on that kinda cliffhanger!

This engaging PNR storyline has drama, steam, chemistry, secrets, realizations, truths revealed. The MCs are defined, have issues and secrets, are likable, and engaging. Secondary characters are interesting and good additions to the story.

I really enjoyed this story. Vampires are one of my favorite paranormal tropes and this story was great. I felt the world building was very good, I liked the characters and their interactions, the plot is engaging and the pacing of the story was very good. I am looking forward to more in this series.
