Shadowcraft Academy: The Complete Series

by Yve Vale

I never wanted magic. I was supposed to escape.

Fate had other plans for me... meeting my fated dragon mate and triggering a mate bond.

So now I’m forced to attend a magic academy.

I'm surrounded by tempting, but confounding the alphahole dragon, his mysterious vampire best friend, a druid who was my childhood crush and good friend, and the forbidden fruit, my wolf-shifter professor. Not to mention the seductive incubus who flirts with me to provoke the dragon.But that's not the only thing I have to worry about. Magic is vanishing, and supernaturals are disappearing at an alarming rate. One of the missing is my friend. I'll have to play along with this situation to find her, I'll do whatever it takes.
Because if I try to run, either to discover the truth about the missing people or to hide from my future, enforcers will hunt me down.

And if I don’t learn to control my wild magic, I’ll be locked up.

That’s if I’m lucky.

Bk1
Hexed was so amazing and adorable and funny.
After a hot and sexy meeting at a human party a intense hookup leads no magic Shayla to bond with Hot and rich and sexy Dragon Shifter Rourke. He wants to disolve this bond because he thinks she just wants him for him money at least thats what he says out load he actually has a good reason that he hides.
This bonding leads Shayla to discover she has magic and has her heading to Shadowcraft Academy where she just happens to be rooming with
Rourke her mate and also
Branden Rourkes Best friend and secret Lover, and technically the real reason why he wants to lose the bond, and Vampire,
Arden the Sweet and big Druid, who used to live near her and was her best friend who knew what was happening to her by her mother but moved away, loves to give her gifts,
Landis the sexy Incubus who i just love his personality is just addicting,
Then we have her Hot and Sexy Wolf Shifter Professor/magic advisor Hollis Quade whos helping her bring out her magic. This book is so sexy and i love seeing the relationships grow. I cant wait to read more.

Bk2
Jinxed starts out during the Aftermath of the Unknown Incubus-Mage attacking Shayla. The attack has Landis thinking he is a monster because he had to invade Shayla's mind in Hexed to wake her up from her coma and that left her vulnerable to the attack.

Arden the gentle druid is a sweet and cuddly as he was in Hexed i just adore him alot. and the scene where he takes her to his secret spot had me just melting.

Branden the Vampire is very intense i like him alot. he is actually trying to get Rourke to accept his mateship with Shayla because he is actually falling for her as well. i really like the way his relationship with Shayla grows and how it makes Rourke jealous.

Prof Quade is so hot and sexy and dominate. i think it is funny he is telling all the others to not mate with Shayla yet because Rourke has to accept her first, this by the way causes some really steamy scenes between Shayla and the guys. Quade really dislikes Rourkes family alot, and is researching how to break the mate bond so he and the other guys can mate with her,

Shayla is very bada**ed in this one she actually saves two of her men when they get in trouble those made for some really intense scenes.

We finally get Rourke's pov on why he doesnt want to mate with Shayla and he really grew on me and his scenes with Branden and Shayla really had me feeling upset for him and wanting for everything to work itself out.

The Mating scene between Landis and Shayla was so emotional and exciting, i loved the way Shayla says she wants his Incubus powers and all that comes with that even after her attack.

Bk3
Cursed is the Three S's Sexy, Stunning, and Completely Satisfying. I highlighted so many passages that my copy looks like a rainbow hit it. It was so emotional with all of the character growth ranging from Shayla, Rourke, Landis, Hollis Brendan and even my cuddly Teddy Bear Arden.
It was a treat to see the men growing right along with Shayla and those scenes were just outstanding and adorable. It even has some kickbutt tiny Fairies.
I literally gushed to the author about it. also the Ravenhollow scenes was just amazing. and one part even had me tear up.
Oh by the way i loved the bonding in this one also especially between Landis and Quade. and finally Rourke and Shayla and Brendan Shayla and Arden.
Cursed was all in all one of my favorite books this year.
and im hoping for some new stories in the world because the secondary characters were just as fantastic.

This is a collection of all books in the Shadowcraft Academy. I did a reread, and can I just say how nice it is to be able to read all the books in one? It’s so much better than having to move to another book. I loved the bonus content that was included, and my opinion on the story remains the same.

The story was great from the beginning, and I couldn’t put it down—even though it was just a reread. I was able to fall in love with these characters all over again, and it was so worth it. If you love paranormal academy romance, I highly recommend giving this a read. Especially if you enjoy forbidden romance and fae. The world the author has built is interesting, and I’ll read anything she writes in it.

A good Paranormal Romance with
Fated Mates, Rejected Mates, Enemies to lovers, Friends to lovers, Student/teacher, Cinnamon Roll, Shifter, Druid, Incubus, Vampire, Magical Academy, Light BDSM elements.
I liked to see the growth of Shayla along the triology,and how she overstepped all the troubles and struggles in her path and the relationships with the Mmcs.
Has a good world building but the 3rd book feels a tiny bit rushed.
In the overall is a good read !
Multiple 1st Person POV
Why Choose w/MM , Fast burn

Forced to go to Shadowcraft Academy, she now has to deal with her mean dragon mate, her druid childhood friend, an incubus, a wolf shifter professor, and her mate's vampire BF. Can she survive them? Will the academy destroy her?

That was a really good story

I loved book one so much that when I realized in the middle that the complete series was available I had to go get it. I loved how she meets each guy in her group. My favorite is her Druid, but each story is sweet, very steamy, funny, and a bit sad. The friends are great too. Great characters!

All I Do Is Sob

The connection Vale instantly weaves between the readers and the FMC made me cry so many times. She goes through some dark sh** so read through the trigger warnings. This story drew me in and I’ve devoured all three books late into the night for the past 2-3 days. The magic, heat and love was an addictive hit.
