I read this book for What the Smut, a podcast my friends and I do about supernatural erotica/romance. Our two-part discussion, Sex Ed Re-imagined and Spit on it Twice is full of spoilers but after you read the book check it out.
This delightful book is simply choked FULL of sex. There were times I wondered if it was full-on erotica but the sex fits so seamlessly into the storyline that you really won't notice. The characters are pretty much dumb kids I ended up loving them for it. Check it out. It's a super fun sexy romp.

This was a YA/porn mashup and simply did not appeal to me.
If you’re looking for the concept, where the characters are supposed to lean about sex from live demonstrations, believe that Jacqueline Frank has one - I’ll come back when I have the right title. Her characters are grown though and there’s less of the feel of something like Hunger Games or Divergent.

A Captivating Lycan Adventure!!
Avery, the only daughter of the Smithson pack just turned nineteen, and like all unmated Lycans is sent to school out west to learn how to fight. At least that is what they were told. Reality is very different. When she is expected to mate with her roommate Finn, she would be even more upset – except he really is her mate.
A resistance has formed to investigate what is truly happening and search for those who have disappeared.
Danger, intrigue, abuse of power and steamy relationships combine to create a highly entertaining story!!

This was a very different PNR read and my first from this author. I did enjoy it but felt there was more time spent on the sex academy aspects than the actual characters and story. I am interested in stories on the side characters.

It was such an interesting book. I don’t even have an idea on how this got on my Kindle but I am very happy that I took the chance to finally read it. This is a very different approach to shifters and mates.
Once a shifter reaches a certain age, they have to go through a school that teaches them all about their lives and the mating process.
The two main characters immediately find out that they are mates. And end up going through this school together and it sort of takes quite a dark and smutty turn of events when the classes physically show you how to give blowjobs, hand jobs, rimming, etc. And basically how to please your mate.
It was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
However, The school is a bit sinister and has a dark side with hidden agendas to it. People are having their minds erased and baby shifters are being taken away to an unknown place. Forced heat cycles, forced partner changes, and making the females get pregnant for an ulterior motive.
There’s a secret uprising that wants equal rights for both males and females and the choice to whomever you fall in love with.
I loved book and I will be continuing the series for sure!

Chaotic and inconsistent. I don't think Cinders had a good plan for this. It seems like a "just wing it" from the beginning. First, the academy is a training academy, but no one can talk about it. Turns out, it's a mating frenzy training facility that doesn't allow the women to have rights. It's forbidden for any male to talk about it to the young females, and vice versa. It's supposed to be gender unequal where the females don't get a choice, but it doesn't make sense when she could request a different roommate when she found Finn on the receiving end of a fellatio. It is all over the place, and I worked to get to 29%. At first I thought "okay, it's an erotica with a sub par plot." Later, when more of the plot became center stage, it was worse. Not even the sex was worth reading. It's a confused feministic trope shoved into an erotica done very badly.
It has potential. If one day Cinders decides to rewrite it, it could be good. As it stands, it's not.

Let the game begin
Such a wonderful experience with a new to me author. This book is not for everyone and may contain some triggers, but I enjoyed the characters and the fact that not everything is as it seems. The author took the time to develop the story and by the time I got to the end I was anxiously awaiting the HEA. This book had moments of highs and lows with laughter, love and every emotion in between. I hope that the next book is just as amazing and can’t wait to read it.

Danger to his mate
Avery is a female wolf being sent to the Lycan Academy and the first thing she sees is her male roommate in a compromising position with another female. Finn can't believe that the female that he has been assigned to and told to get rid of is his mate. Readers should enjoy this book which I highly recommend watching this couple and their friends negotiating the Mating games.

Finn is a erotic paranormal romance novel with several serious subplots
Discrimination against women as such and homosexuality are a subliminal subject in this book.
The story is told from the perspective of several young adults. The only thing that bothered me a little was that the whereabouts of some of the other characters is open at the end. Or maybe that's intentional. Sometimes people disappear without ever hearing from them again. Anyway, the main couples in this book get their HEA.

Avery soon finds that she isn't training to be a fierce warrior as she was told. Instead she is being forced to pair with another wolf. Finnegan is Avery's roommate. Finnegan was intended on getting rid of Avery until the sparks start flying. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

If you don't want to read about all things sex in graphic detail, you'd best skip this book. The underlying story was interesting but the depravity of those in charge and what was happening to the students was appalling. Although this book found some HEAs, there is more to be revealed which will happen in future books. I'm not sure I can handle the horror of what may lie ahead.

This is pretty straight forward porn.
So if you want lots of sexy times, lust at first sight, mated werewolves and a some rebellious actions destined to give equal rights to women then this is what you were looking for.
You can find this story on Radish.

I like a good lycan story but this one was disappointing. I skipped through 70% of the book. There was too much over the top sex and barely any character or plot development. The characters were too young, immature, and overly sexual.

Suffered through...
I made myself read until i got about 38% through the book and I just could not read anymore. It is up in my top 10 worst books I've ever had the displeasure of having tried to read. Just walk away...no run...

Academy
Well this was a first, a sex academy for wolves. Yes, there was a dark drama side but really a lot of sex.

Meh. Too predictable, sex every other page. It got kind of boring. I skipped a lot to get to the end.

This is not a book. It is a sample chapter.
Very disappointed. This was a single chapter being touted as a book.
I don't understand author's who need to rip off the readers.

If you want a very good sex manual on how to arouse and satisfying who you’re with, this is the book for you! The story is good, too!

July 26, 2021Welcome to Rape Academy.
Like, seriously, I'm appalled WOMEN loved such a book where consent is inexistent and where the female character is such a desservice.
I couldn't finish.
