With Hearts of Flame (Deluxe Limited Edition): A Dark Academia Romantasy Novel of Vampires and Dragons Featuring Stenciled Edges and Illustrated Endpapers (Bloodwing Academy, 4)

I thought surviving the first few months at Discordia was a win—until The Caliphate Games were announced.
Now, I'm being trained to fight in a deadly competition I shouldn't qualify for, juggling bloodthirsty rich jerks, sneaky headmasters, and living with seven demon hybrids who are way too hot for my sanity.
My new "brothers" are bound to me by some ancient ritual magic, but every look, every accidental touch, every too-long stare has my scarred heart racing. Even Jasper, the snarky, brooding prince who hates me, gets my motor running, and he makes me want to throttle him. They're a distraction I can't afford, especially when I'm just trying to survive.
As if that's not enough, my powers are randomly waking up, making me a bigger target than ever. The headmaster's neck-deep in some sinister scheme, the royal families are gearing up for a brawl, and if my magic doesn't kill me, the truth about who I am just might.
What am I and where did I really come from?
The question isn't if the guys will figure out my secret—it's what happens when they do. Will they stand by me? Or will they let the world burn and leave me to go down with it?
Contains mature themes.

If I wasn’t so hooked on the story, I would refuse to read the next book out of spite alone. I despise when authors aren’t honest and upfront about the fact that a series is not completed. I hate reading incomplete series because now for the next however long I’m gonna be driving myself crazy wondering what’s going to happen next. I do appreciate that there is a little less trauma dumping from the FMC in this particular book, but it still colors almost every interaction. The FMC’s trauma...

Honestly I would have had this book finished a lot faster if I didn’t have to do adult things. I had such a hard time putting it down. I don’t read a lot of books where the fmc is pretending to be a guy so I’m thoroughly enjoying that. Kit Kat continues to roll with the punches and work through the anxiety as their world is continually flipped upside down. There’s a lot of different dynamics between Kit Kat and all the guys. Each developing at its own pace. I’m dying at all the different...

So I absolutely love this series and I can not wait for more. The characters are diverse and all have their own issues. This book really brings the characters together more and also gives us more insight to each character. Kit/Kat is our anxiety ridden FMC who is pretending to be a man since she is enrolled at an all male school. She spent all her life prior to the academy being abused in one way or the other. She came from an all human existence to a demon academy. We have our demon/shifter...

Really great series so far. Book 2 ended on an awful cliffhanger and book 3 isn't out yet, so that sucks, but it was definitely worth the read. I can't wait for book 3. ) 4 people found this helpful
