About this book
The first book in an epic new dark academia romantasy, perfect for fans of the Zodiac Academy and Atlas Six series, about a young woman named Summer Tuatha De Daanan who enrolls at the magical Avalon University, where she must uncover the secrets of her past, find the mysterious benefactor who paved her way, and stop a sadistic killer who threatens to drench Avalon in blood.
Fear, Fury and Fire.
To Know is Not Enough.
Power flows through the ancient halls of Avalon University like a neverending flood. Admission to the elite institution enables students to hone their magic under the watchful eye of their icy headmaster.
Summer Tuatha De Daanan planned to slide through her tenure at Avalon, unnoticed and inconspicuous. She has no interest in learning more about her past or why someone applied to the school on her behalf. Her emotional walls keep everyone at bay, and her sharp tongue makes people give her a wide berth. Yet, despite her best attempts, her emotional armor begins to melt from her feral vampire roommate to the angelic senior who is never dissuaded by her feigning disinterest. Maybe this could be good for her, a new life. Yet, dark secrets lurk in the halls of Avalon, and soon those same halls are drenched in blood.
Summer finds herself as the obsession of the sadistic stalker with the warning: Seven lessons to learn. With the help of her new friends, she races against the clock to solve the mystery, hoping to save lives and catch the killer before it's too late.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ *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...
