I normally love Jaymin Eve’s books! But this read more like a tween book for me. I feel like the writing level was quite low, but the main characters are in their twenties and there are some sexual scenes.
I think I’ll stick with her other series for now!

“If you say different,” I interrupted, “I’m going to punch you. Don’t separate me out from other women. They’re my people.” - Maddison
It's so weird that it's not a RH. There's the guys, there's the tight knit group, they all get along very well and have different personalities so it won't be boring. All that's missing is the author to put chemistry between them. But alas Maddi and Asher only have the hots for each other and okey. It's just weird for an author to create such a close group and not take an advantage from it.

If you take all clichés and make a book, this will be it . It's like the author couldn't come up with one original thing in the entire book. It had potential to become something new and world building was almost there and then it crashed. Most of the book is the heroine lusting after the hero. That's it. THAT IS IT.

I love this series sooo much! And I’m glad it wasn’t RH. Asher and Maddis relationship is just too good!

The first half of the book was good. It moved slow but I didn’t mind because we were being introduced to this new world. But the second half is what ruined it for me.
For one, Maddi was entirely too obsessed with Asher and they didn’t have enough scenes together for it to seem realistic. If you’re gonna have two characters all over each other, at least build up their relationship first.
The second half moved too fast. There were a couple of one or two month time jumps so it was impossible to see how Maddi was working on developing her powers or building her relationships with the guys. Instead we’re just told that she can control herself and the guys are her rocks. The author went from showing to telling and it almost seems like there was a rush to be done with the book.
The plot is pretty week, there’s no goals or endgame until the last few chapters. And there’s entirely too much focus on parties and dances and the outfits the girls are wearing. We know they’re hot. We don’t need to read about it in every chapter when there are better things to discuss.
Those aren’t huge issues but it just makes it harder to connect with the book and characters. But at least it wasn’t reverse harem. And for that, I am definitely going to continue reading the series.

Same world, new facet
If you’ve read any of the Supernatural Prison Books, then you will recognize this world - and even one character. If you haven’t, no worries - this is a new addition to that growing world and can be read with prior experience.
Maddison is thrown head first into a world she didn’t expect, but fortunately, there are a few gentle souls to help catch her - and one very intense pair of Atlantean eyes. It’s magical, convoluted and academy rich enough to satisfy even the most ardent of magical school fans.
Pros:
- LOVE this world and how it grows with each new addition.
- Louis.... he’s barely a character here, but I still squealed.
- The Atlantean five.... almost too powerful for one school. Not a bully book though, rest easy. Nor is it RH, sadly.
Cons:
- Foreshadowing gets a bit blatant.
- Perfect RH set up.... but nope.
