All's Fair in Love and Blood
Jennifer Peel
by Jeanette Rose
Summer Tuatha De Daanan wanted nothing more than to disappear into the shadows of Avalon University. As a girl running from a mysterious past, her plan was simple: keep her head down, sharpen her tongue, and avoid the elite magical social scene at all costs. But when an anonymous benefactor forces her enrollment, she finds herself trapped in a world where power is a flood and danger is the curriculum.
This gripping dark academia paranormal romance thrives on the tension of forced-proximity. Between her feral vampire roommate and an alluring senior who refuses to be pushed away, Summer’s carefully constructed emotional armor begins to crumble. The atmosphere is thick with historical intrigue and the kind of high-stakes chemistry that leaves readers breathless. Yet, just as she begins to embrace a new life, a sadistic killer turns the ancient halls into a hunting ground.
With a cryptic stalker counting down seven deadly lessons, Summer must unravel the secrets of her own bloodline before she becomes the next target. Perfect for those craving a blend of sharp-witted heroines, high-heat spice, and a devastating emotional gut-punch, this story is an addictive descent into a world where your darkness might be the only thing that keeps you alive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ *Note: Please check the content warnings list before reading. “Your darkness calls to mine.” Summer Tuatha De Daanan is no ordinary fae – at least, that’s what she has been made to believe her entire life, with her unusual upbringing and her vivid blue eyes. But when she enrolls at Avalon University, and finally finds some normalcy, some peace, it’s hard for her to shake the feeling that she truly is different. And even harder to shake the feeling of being followed…being...

[Thank you Simon Maverick for a gifted advance review copy of Blood & Betrayals] Reading Blood & Betrayals is like eating a massive bowl of ice cream - It’s so darn sweet and hits the craving just right, but at the end, you feel sick to your stomach. Characters: A powerful FMC with fae blood, trust issues, and little self worth. An MMC who is a literal angel. He is the whip cream and cherry on top. A BFF vampire baddie who would unalive anyone threatening our FMCs chance at happiness. And a...

If I could give this book six stars, I would. If you love epic romances, mystery, shadowy figures, with a found family to die for - this is for you. There is not a single character I didn't find myself loving. Urban fantasy is quickly becoming a top tier for me, especially when it's written like this. I loved the world's and the way in which they travels, the vast species like vampires, angles, fae, shifters, etc ... You get a bit of everyone. The relationship, both between our main character,...

Blood and Betrayals by Jeanette Rose & Alexis Rune delivered exactly the dark academy chaos fans of Zodiac Academy crave, but with its own wild magic and unique World. It’s a long read—and while the pace felt slow until about 35%, after that I absolutely could not put it down. Spice in almost every chapter? Yes, and I was here for it. Our FMC is a damaged, grumpy Fae with a painful past who’s never fit in. The world-building impressed me—continents like Eden, Draculeia, and Annwn feel lived-in...
