The Blackwood Five #1
Blackwood Academy
What do you get when you add one witch and five demons? An unexpected pregnancy.
Three weeks before I came to Blackwood Academy, I made a mistake. Some would say I made five. But what happens on the other side of the portal, stays on the other side of the portal.
Until my five mistakes show up on the first day of class. Everybody at Blackwood already hates witches, but no one quite like them. Vale is a bully, intent on taking my power little by little. Nicodemus is a charming, handsome Devil that doesn’t know how to channel his dark energy for good. Ares and Slade, well, they're twins—the sweet one and the sadistic one. And to top it all off, Zephyrus Storm is my professor.
I didn’t just make five mistakes across the portal, I crossbred two worlds that were never meant to intertwine. When the Blackwood Five find out I’m pregnant, everything changes. And when the students find out, all hell breaks loose.
This baby will change the world; if it doesn’t kill me first.

I’m not sure how to review this honestly. It wasn’t awful but it wasn’t mind blowing either. To me, it read as a first rough draft.
The character descriptions are almost nonexistent besides a few of their heights and I think one of them has longer hair? I couldn’t tell you because nothing in particular stood out.
I genuinely like the idea of the plot but things moved so quickly that it just muddled together. There wasn’t enough “hateful/bully” moments for me to really appreciate the guys wanting to stand by her. She started off strong and then became a wilting flower.
One thing I REALLY didn’t like:
She doesn’t get mad about them using powers on her the night they met! Whether she set out to hook up with ONE person or not, they coerced her, making her do something she said she wouldn’t have done on her own. Why did she just let it go and instantly accept their big speeches of wanting to be there for her? I stared at my kindle dumbfounded lmao.
Despite it all, I’m oddly curious about what’s going to happen in book two and why the headmaster is being a level 30 twat.

Not for me. Trigger warning
Nothing much happens in this book except for very questionable smut that should in my opinion come with a trigger warning for drug related date rape. Especially with the way it's explained that the effects were on par to rape drugs. Then the fluffed over excuse with the heroine saying "at least I didn't have a hangover......"
This book is not action packed or exciting. The author wrote ALL the main characters backgrounds into the book using POV's back to back and it made the book extra dull. As you can imagine there was a lot of internal dialogue, from all 7 of them, not engaging at all.
We are just simply not given enough time to bond with the heroine. Between the backwards forwards of the timeline (which is a pet hate of mine) I found this book failed to connect with me on any level and predominantly left a sour taste.

They treated her like shit, literally physically harming her and they actively hated her but then they find out that shes pregnant with their baby and they suddenly act like they care??? Bruh. And during this switch in their feelings theres a whole chapter for each character where they just talktalktalk, a WHOLE chapter for EACH CHARACTER(mmc) where they just contemplate what her being pregnant might mean for them and how being a father could better their own lives, it was sooooo boring and you could see they didn't care about the fmc at all. So far, in this whole book i wouldn't say there was any real romance where a character(mmc) truly cared for and loved the fmc. Plus the biggest red flag that i should have not ignored was the fact that the whole beginning sex scene vetween fmc and mmc's she is basically drugged into wanting to have sex with them then when they find out shes a witch they basically blamed her for having sex wih them. Horrible mmc's and basically not a romance book.

Trigger warning
I think people should be warned that the mls basically use their powers to drug the fl into sleeping with them all the first time they met. It’s not my interpretation, either. They say it many times that they drugged her. They admit their MO is to drug humans to do this same thing. And the female lead just… rolls with it. There’s no groveling and very weak apologies.
When she ends up pregnant, even though she knows she’ll end up in literal jail, she never wanted kids, and she’s carrying a rapists baby, she only considers abortion for about 2seconds.
I get that some of you are “into” this kind of thing, but as a SA survivor, I wish I hadn’t read this.

went into The Blackwood Academy genuinely intrigued and that alone says a lot, because it takes a lot to hook me these days. AND I MEAN A LOT.
A reverse harem, paranormal academy romance with shifters, close quarters, a hint of bully romance, and an unexpected pregnancy trope that happens during the story instead of the epilogue? That’s not something you see often in this genre, and as someone who actually enjoys the pregnancy trope, I was excited to see how it would be handled. The premise felt fresh, different, and promising.
At first, I was into it. The setup worked. The concept worked. The intrigue was there.
But as the story went on, things started to unravel for me, mostly due to pacing, characterization, and a lack of grounding.
One of my biggest issues was the POV choice. The book is written in first person from Marilyn’s perspective, yet her roommate Lilith—who is not a love interest—gets her own POV and significant screen time. Lilith isn’t a bad character, but her presence felt unnecessary. Her POV seemed to exist mainly to emphasize information Marilyn wouldn’t know, which could’ve been handled without splitting perspective. It ended up pulling focus away from an already underdeveloped main character.
And unfortunately, Marilyn herself wasn’t very compelling. There wasn’t enough internal or external development to make her feel like a fully realized person. Things happen to her constantly, but we don’t spend enough time with her reactions, thoughts, or growth to feel connected.
The pacing is where the story really struggled. Everything happens so fast it’s almost disorienting. It feels like Marilyn arrives at the academy, blinks, and suddenly:
1. she’s pregnant
2. she’s in a massive shifter battle
3. she’s expelled
4. and the men are fully devoted to her
All within what feels like a week.
There’s no room to breathe, no time to build emotional stakes, and no chance for the relationships to develop organically. One moment a character is slamming her into a wall, and the next he’s protective and in love. It just didn’t feel earned.
The pregnancy reveal, which should’ve been a major emotional moment, also felt oddly handled. Marilyn finds out she’s pregnant because Lilith runs in yelling “don’t hurt the baby,” and Marilyn just… accepts it. All the chaos in her life is suddenly explained by pregnancy, and that shift felt abrupt and unconvincing.
As for the men in the harem: they weren’t bad, but they weren’t distinct enough. In reverse harem especially—especially when there are twins—each character needs a strong, clear identity. Here, their voices blurred together, to the point where I was genuinely confused about who was speaking at times. There also wasn’t much in the way of physical description, which made visualizing them difficult.
Another major issue was telling instead of showing. We’re often told about characters’ backstories, who they are, what they went through, but we don’t see enough of how those experiences shape their behavior in real time. There aren’t enough meaningful interactions, or quiet moments to let the characters reveal themselves naturally.
Because of this, the book didn’t feel character driven, and I’m not even sure it was fully plot driven either. It was more like events stacked on top of each other without enough connective tissue.
💀💀💀One element that really threw me off A LOT was a character whose magic involves biochemical manipulation, specifically to how he altered Marilyn’s body to make her more lustful. I enjoy dark romance, but this didn’t read as dark, it read as strange and uncomfortable. Instead of making the characters more dangerous or appealing, it made them feel freaking off putting, as if they weren’t capable of attraction without literally changing a woman’s biology.
Finally, the lack of grounding stood out. Settings were mentioned but not lived in. Her room, the academy, the battle locations, they existed in theory, but not in sensory detail. Nothing felt anchored. Marilyn didn’t feel connected to her environment, and neither was I as a reader.
All that said, I don’t think this author is a bad writer. There is something here. The premise is strong, and the pregnancy mystery, specifically who the father is, was the main thing that kept me reading. I was curious enough to finish, but once that curiosity is satisfied, I don’t think I’ll continue the series.
Overall, The Blackwood Academy had a compelling idea but needed more time, more space to build characters, relationships, and setting. It felt rushed, underdeveloped, and emotionally thin, even though the foundation was there.
I’m landing around 2.5–3 stars. The intrigue carried it, but it shouldn’t have been the only thing doing the work.

I really have to get off Kindle Unlimited. Spoilers ahead.
Alright, I don't mind a pregnancy trope, no issues. However that is when the woman in question made the choice to sleep with someone and now has to deal with the natural consequences of those choices with the guy. Her choice in this book was taken away. They essentially date rape drug her with magical powers, then all forgo protection because they just didn't care to use it on someone they saw as lesser after their essential rape game.....
Then they treat her poorly because she is a witch and witches are beneath them, then when they learn she's pregnant they all jump on board automatically and want to be fathers. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO YOUR CHILD. Sorry but this plot line just was not okay. I read messed up stuff. Dubcon, subcon etc. But dressing up rape as a way baby is made and how a harem comes together is a huge no for me.
Moving on from the main reason I'm rating this so low, there is no other plot. We get 200 pages stuck inside this back and forth between the date rape night and school, then just minimal interactions at the school and her attending classes. Nothing else happens except she is now going to jail for being pregnant.
We also don't know anything about the characters, and somehow needed the roommates POV on two chapters? Why? We have 5 guys and a main character why do we need the roommate?
Ugh. Sorry to rant but I am just so unhappy with this read and should have just not finished it.

Okay I loved it dang it! It was sooo good and I wish I could read the rest of series right now. I am dying to know what happens next.
Marilynn is a witch who takes trips to earth for a “good” time. During a trip, she meets five guys at a club and has some FUN. A couple of weeks later she goes to Blackwood Academy where she finds the men she had fun with there. She starts having bursts of magic and being bullied by the other students and the men. She later finds out she is pregnant and one of those men is the baby daddy. It is illegal to have a cross bred child soooo… intrigued right? go read it then you won’t regret it.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Why choose/ college/ paranormal/ demons/ witches/ shifters/ student/professor/ found family/ MFM/ accidental pregnancy/ OW drama/ bully/ cliffhanger
Trigger warning: neglectful parenting/ violence/ murder/ assault
Ok start to the story but I couldn’t get over the unprotected sex with 5 strangers. I know the MMCs thought the FMC was a human, therefore she shouldn’t have been able to get pregnant but you would think someone would have been smart enough to consider using protection. Even if she were a human, they acknowledged that they can still get STDs. Most of the MMCs are in their mid 20s which makes their stupidity even more concerning.

The world is one I'd like to know more about, but i had a hard time with the flow of the plot.
I liked the characters but didn't get invested enough to go looking for book two.
It ends of a sort of cliffhanger, but only plot armor can seemingly save the group... and their resolve felt really weak.
Spice was solid but only existed in the beginning, with next to no real connection between the characters.

Tbh I should have read the summary bc this is an accidental pregnancy romance lol. It feels like nothing really happened in this first book and the initial first chapters flip flopping between past and present was a bit confusing to listen to. Otherwise is was okay and because it's a short series, I'll continue it

I have no idea the difference between the male characters. One of them has only the characteristic of anger. I also think their little “bonding” trips across the portal is rape. Just as much as slipping something into a girls drink they just did it with magic. And Marilyn is a complete doormat. She just takes abuse from everyone and forgives them if they show up.

2.5 / 5.0
The premise of this was interesting but the execution was poorly done. It’s very slow and the characters have no substance. And the spice scenes aren’t anything special or even inventive.

This book is a slightly demonic dark ass version of Mamma Mia.
MOM!! THIS ONE HAS A LOT OF SMUT FROM THE GET GO AND IS NOT FOR YOU!
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Tropes included:
- RAVERSE HAREM
- why choose?
- one night stand
- pregnancy
- demon/ monster MMC
- witch FMC
- dark academia
-paranormal romance
If my headliner didn’t clue you in enough, let me fill you in. Our FMC is a beautiful silver haired witch named Marilyn. She is placed into Blackwood Academy, despite being a witch. While she prepares to go to an academy she never planned on, wondering what evil is inside her to make her be placed there, she ventures through a portal to planet earth to have one last night of fun. Fun being tall delicious hotties x5 (all in one night).
Spoiler alert: that fun night packs a LOT of consequences.
This book certainly has its issues. But the issues aren’t in the writing. In fact, I was incredibly impressed with how Donovan was able to write such a wild plot in such a believable way. like hello? I learned so much big girl vocabulary.
The problematic piece, that was very hard for me, lies in the character Nicodemus. He’s the blondie, and described of the sweetest of the five boys. He’s a demon who’s magic specializes in biochemical alteration. And on the night that he and his bros decide to have their fun with Marilyn he uses that ability to heighten her arousal and make her more likely to comply.
Now… call me crazy. But doesn’t that seem like SA to you? I would even venture to name it.. gee idk.. R@PE?!
What’s more troublesome is that only ONE of the men (Zeph my delicious most fav demon ever) ever even questions it?
And that INCLUDES the FMC. She knows that she was influenced, but never even asks for an apology or an explanation. She just immediately is ready to co-parent with five men who raped her.
Except for Zeph. Seems like Nico can only influence the body when he is within range so at least we know one of them was consentual. Do you want to know how we know that? Because Nico also makes her DEPRESSED AND SUICIDAL WHEN NEARBY HER AT THE START?! I truly find no redemption to be had within this man.
There were about 1,896,4oo other ways that the intro to Marilyn's journey with raverse harem could have been written, I just don't feel like demonic influenced date rape was necessary.
However: if you can look past that and remember that it is a paranormal RAVERSE HAREM romance.. then the book is actually quite good.
Time for a little character breakdown and analysis
1. I’d love a little more time exploring Marilyn as a FMC and seeing into her mind. At the moment, she’s not leaping off of the page at me. But I think it is difficult when the POVs switch so often and I’m getting to know all of the other characters at the same rate as her. I’m hopeful to learn more about her in the coming books.
2. Lilith is exactly the baddie roommate I need in a paranormal dark academy such as Blackwood and I have no notes for her.
3. Zeph is my favorite. But I think he’s meant to be. He’s the most empathetic of them all and such a softie. I wouldn’t need any shots of alcohol (or any biochemical fuckery for that matter). Immediate smash.
4. I hate to say I like Vale too. I hated him until I realized he had been dreaming about her. Then I succumbed to one of the best tropes and never looked back.
5. Sitting in the middle for me is Ares. He’s kind of problematic (was fucking another girl for the first half of the plot and seems to want to be a father to fulfill his own selfish desires), but he’s one of the softer ones and he’s a shadow daddy so you can’t expect me to be mad at him for long.
6. Next up is Slade. He gives me weird skinny stoner vibes, but when I force myself to imagine him more like he’s described I could grow to like him. He just didn’t stick out to me.
7. Lastly: and I mean DEAD LAST is Nico. He’s supposed to seem sweet, but I think he’s the most selfish of them all and has the most learning to do.
8. Headmaster Dickbag can go kick rocks and die
Overall Impressions:
The smut was great (except the date rape aspect), the plot was great, the stakes were high.
I have no idea what will happen in the coming novels but I know that I’m about to find out.

The smut was great (except the date rape aspect), the plot was great, the stakes were high.
I have no idea what will happen in the coming novels but I know that I’m about to find out.

"The Devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns; he comes as everything you've ever wished for." pg. 6 book 1
**Review Shared for Series*
These books were interesting. The storyline was definitely unique and I had been dying to read a reverse harem where the fmc is pregnant ON PAGE and the guys actually know about it.
The books themselves are pretty short, less than 200 pages in each. So it was a pretty quick trilogy. The whole premise of the series is the fact that a witch got pregnant by demons which is outlawed. The first book is essentially the guys bullying her, the second is them being in jail for her being pregnant, and the third is her going through the rough pregnancy. Although short and to the point, it was pretty intriguing. The world building was decent. The plot was not only unique but interesting. The character development was also surprisingly decent despite the shortness of the books.
I am only giving three stars because it just felt like something was missing despite all that. It was probably due to the length, or maybe it was that everything seemed to happen so fast, but I was just left wanting by the end of the third book. We do get a happy ending but like I said, I just felt like there could have been so much more to it.
Also, can we talk about the fact that one of the mmc's had been LITERALLY THROWING her across rooms before they knew she was pregnant? And there was like not only no groveling for how crappy he treated her, but also it wasn't mentioned how he literally had put her and the baby at risk without realizing it.
Also in the second book Mercer goes to the asylum and "meets" the guys (pg. 85). But they were all in court together a few days earlier....

I wasn't sure what to expect but what I got was a real page turner. Five demons and a witch walk into a bar...not together, but boy do they find each other!
I like how the story is told through each person's perspective. You get to see why each individual acts as they do, what their thought process is, what their internal struggles are, as well as their weaknesses, their potential, and their growth or failures.
What I personally didn't care for was the original "meeting" between Marilyn and the guys. The unknown magical "coersion", I felt, wasn't my cup of tea nor necessary. I know they are demons and dark and she may have been there precisely for a one night stand but I would have preferred a different scenerio...and this current one could definitely be a trigger for some readers.
The later bullying is a little difficult to stomach as well even if there is a change of events and feelings. Marilyn seems awfully forgiving almost too easily.
In the end, what started as the impulsive, immature and sex-crazed actions of a bunch of twenty something individuals resulted in major introspections and life altering events which will require strength and growth to overcome. The world as they know it changes for Marilyn and the guys. Now is the time to see if they break or learn to dance to a different drummer.
Wonder what comes next for them.

This book was just kind of weird.
We’ve got the Blackwood 5 who have no qualms about date raping human woman except this woman is actually a witch. This whole issue is pretty summarily ignored. I mean I guess they’re all attending a school for dark magic or whatever but I don’t think it can be overstated that manipulating hormones to make a woman sleep with you is date rape.
And being a witch is a problem because “racism” (in quotes because it feels kind of minimizing to call it that given real world racial harm, but that’s also what the book called it) in a way that is only logical to alpha male meatheads. That is, she didn’t tell them she’s a witch even though 1. Date rape and 2. They were all cosplaying as human and they didn’t mention they were demons.
And then as soon as they realize she’s pregnant they all want to step up and be the father. Now I don’t actually want the rapists to continue to be assholes but also it seems incongruent that men who view rape as ok would suddenly decide to step up and be fathers.
And the headmaster is dick for no discernible reason.
And the baby is illegal and they all are just kinda like yeah, ok. We’ll go to prison that’s fair. Not a single one of them is like hey, this is actually bullshit let’s burn the world down for this.
So I guess in summary the tension is weird and she really should be more angry about being magically influenced to sleep with them all. The illegal baby is hella cool though.

It's hard to know which category yo put this into. It wasn't really a bully read. It wasn't really a RH. It wasn't really a steamy read, aside from the 5 quick individual sex scenes with the five at the beginning. It wasn't really academia, it was more a setting than a Storyline.
It felt very much a prequel but in a full sized novel to whatever happen next. Which happens in a prison. Due to the quickies producing an illegal crossbreed pregnancy.
This follows how Marilyn suddenly develops new powers and her new roommate puts two and two together and comes up that she's pregnant. They don't know who's the father, so we spend 5 chapters inside each demons head contemplating fatherhood.
And the ending has us watching them being taken to prison.....
Sadly this didn't.... Grip me. It should. The demons were ripe for a brilliant Storyline- they were great characters truth be told. But I felt let down that this is the path it went.
I have to say, Im not in a rush to pick up the next few books, but that's just my opinion. This might be right up someone's street! And I think some reviews have said just as much! This is just one of those where I went in blind expecting one thing, but got another, I so it's partly my fault!

Primero que nada: ¿por qué te referirías al ~kulo como “MY FORBIDDEN FLOWER”? SIDISIDKOSISKS.
Segundo: ¿qué remil mierdísimas es este párrafo: “I use my kegels to massage his member, doing exactly what I said I would. I milk him like a fucking cow until I’m so full of sperm that it’s going to explode out of me when he pulls out.”?
TERCERO: ¿¿QUÉ ES ESTA REFERENCIA A QUE TE ACABARON ADENTRO: “I’m a hostess Twinkie; all the cream is on the inside.”?? JSJSJDJSJS NECESITO MAYÚSCULAS MÁS GRANDES, NO ME PUEDEN HACER ESTO.
Cuarto: EL MOMENTO “I’M THE FATHER” MUY “YO SOY RADIO REBEL” CODED SKAKSKSJAKAJAJAJSJSJ
Quinto: tengo que aprender a leerme LA SINOPSIS o, MÍNIMAMENTE, buscar las tropes de los libros que leo y dejar de guiarme por portadas lindas porque 1) ¿qué mierda termino leyendo?, y 2) ¿¿QUÉ MIERDA TERMINO LEYENDOS SJSJSJSJSJSJ????????????
Dicho eso, aunque las risas no faltaron, me apena mucho jamás poder encontrar algo que se le acerque a “Vicious Lost Boys” porque ya no da releer la saga esa por decimaoctava vez en lo que va del cuatrimestre. Y también me apena lo fea que es la portada cuando le hice zoom. De fondo se escuchaba el “¿Quién te hizo la carita?” de La Chiqui.

I’m cool with some super questionable dark shit and very morally gray men. But I found the fact that these guys basically use the equivalent of a date rape drug on her by manipulating her bodies biochemical levels through magic is really detestable. She may have told herself that enjoyed herself but she wasn’t in control in the moment. And she acknowledges in the moment and after that she was acting out of character and was out of control. Hell, she even blacks out on her way home. Losing time? Yeah that’s a classic roofie side effect.
Questionable AF. I don’t understand why the author chose to add that. Consent is key.
And then they have the gall to treat her like crap. And they are the ones primarily responsible for her pregnancy. They basically ruin her life.
That being said, the writing and editing is decent. The storyline itself isn’t great imo. But I am still so stuck on that biochemical manipulation that I couldn’t enjoy any of the rest of it. 🤷♀️
DNF at 35%. And I never leave a review for DNF. That’s how uncomfortable I am reading this

2.5 ⭐️
I can honestly say I will not be finishing this series. I hated almost every second of what I read but loved the world building. This whole magical academia plot they had going on was chefs kiss. I would've loved way more of that and less of the overly vile sex scenes. Don't get me wrong, I love SPICE, but I was not feeling this at all. It was so incredibly forced and described a bit too much (maybe?) .
Let me share two of the phrases that set me off first:
- Milking him like a fucking cow
- Oozing with another guys spunk
and you know, I've read some pretty fucked up shit so im like, Pop off Queen!!! but it was when the twins decided to get their turn with her (5 men in total, mind you) one twin gets off by "licking her clean for his brother"... which then proceeds to devour the "spunk" from the two previous dudes.. yeah I'm good .
which mind you, the only reason why she took on these five men was due to a power one of them had to fully change the chemical balance in her body... so... forced date rape ?

To begin with, I was truly drawn to Blackwood Academy by the cover of the book. It’s macabre, dark, but still tells a story, drawing you in with a visual demand to read it.
Blackwood Academy was a slow building flame that turned into a raging fire by the end of the last page. The multiple POVs take you from one view of what’s happening to the next, and keeps everything cohesively tied together so you’re not left wondering what the hell is going on. You know the entire time, in great detail! And I am a person who absolutely loves to read multiple POVs!
Blackwood Academy really draws you in to what’s happening to Marilyn; from her night on the other side of the portal, to her rocky-road journey starting Blackwood Academy.
We’ve all been to middle school and high school. It’s a cesspool of cliques, drama, hate, bullying, rumors, etc. Blackwood Academy has it all, plus more. Blackwood Academy doesn’t disappoint. You can get all the action you want!
Blackwood Academy was a burning inferno, most definitely, and I rather enjoyed it! Definitely would recommend for the spicy + action lovers out there!

This was an ok read. It kept me entertained and I liked how it was a little slow burn and not a insta-lust after their first night together. Now for what I didn’t like… Is no one else concerned that she was pretty much date raped? She was drugged to get super h*rny to have sex because they enjoyed the “hunt”. Having one innocent human’s body chemistry altered so all of you can have a go at them is kind of sick. To top it off they don’t even use protection and c*m inside her? I don’t understand why she wasn’t a little mad when she found out she was manipulated. Days of being tossed against a wall like a rag doll by Vale and then you automatically forgive them all of them because they could be the father of the baby? Sorry but this all doesn’t make sense to me. I’m also very confused as to why her roommate had a POV in the first place. Why is that necessary?

I don’t really write reviews but I felt like I needed to…
but this book honestly felt like it dragged without anything actually happening. It couldve been summed up in a couple of chapters, but instead we got every single POV imaginable for the same events. We got five different POVs for one moment, like when the pregnancy reveal happens. I really don’t think it was necessary to get the POV of all 5 men plus her roommate?? And the story itself didn’t have much substance either it was literally: she has sex with them, they find out she’s a witch and are very upset, the pregnancy reveal happens, we get 5 POVs of them choosing to step up and be the fathers, the trials happen, everyone finds out she’s pregnant with a “interracial” baby, and then the group gets expelled. That’s pretty much it. It had potential but the execution wasn’t done right😔

Great start to the series
I found this book to be very entertaining. I was a little confused at first when we got Lilith’s POV but when she is the one to discover the pregnancy through her omnicompetence gift, I realized why she was included in the multiple points of view. I personally love a book that carries multiple POV so that was a plus for me.
I also loved that the baby was so protective of Marilyn. It was funny how complicated the baby made Lilith’s life though with the changing temperatures and silencing her voice when she snored so Marilyn could get some sleep. I hope the second book will have more instances where the baby makes Marilyn’s life easier in a humorous way.

Spoilers:
I didn't hate this book, in fact I somewhat enjoyed it. However the main issue of a crossbred baby that legally should be aborted and parents put in prison, but instead Marilyn is patched up and sent off to wait until baby is born, makes zero sense to me. I mean Zero sense. Based on the law I'd assume they would have forced her to abort while lying in the hospital. Which is too bad because I feel the author could have presented the law differently to make the plot work.
The chapters devoted to the demons thinking about fatherhood were actually well done and made their change of hearts work. But I just don't buy the overall premise enough to read on in the series.
(As a side note, when one of the demons prays to God that Marilyn recovers, that had me shaking my head.)

Good but needs something
So, reading this trilogy is a bit of a mixed bag.
While the premise is great and it's a pretty good story line, it feels a little lax in parts.
I didnt get much emotion from the characters, their bonds didn't really resonate with me.
If you want a trilogy ending where all your questions are answered this isn't the book for you either, it will end up with more questions.
There was a great opportunity for MM, but it felt swept to side.
I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this book and I did too, but it just needed a little more to be a 5 star rating for me.

A nice start.
There’s a lot of moving pieces in this series but this was a nice beginning.
Marilyn is already dreading being dropped of at Blackwood Academy. Throw in coming face to face with her one night stands, things only get worse.
Being a witch puts her at the bottom of the food chain so what does it mean when her powers grow?
This was really just an introduction to the story. I feel like we saw bits and pieces of all the characters and I’m ready to read more.
I’m intrigued to see how these relationships grow in the next book with everything that’s supposed to happen.
On to the next!

Accidental baby
I enjoyed this, a nice easy read even tho it keeps jumping POV a bit much, I enjoy different POV’s but not every chapter. Still it was a good story, an accidental pregnancy after a night out an an encounter with 5 demons, both Marilyn, a witch and the demons pretending to be human.
We didn’t really get into the Academy side of things much at all, that seems to be more of a location as we’re off to prison for the next book.
Still will read the next book as I enjoyed this one and want to find out what happens next.
