Description:

Foster girl. Trash. That’s all I am to the world. And that’s fine. After surviving New Jersey’s foster system, I can survive anything. Even taking a dangerous job from a tall, gorgeous stranger so I can keep my little sister safe—a job that goes very, very wrong.

Suddenly I’m facing a brutal choice: a decade in jail or four years as a ward of Talonswood Reform Academy—a place with an all too perfect correction record. A place that makes bootcamp look like a spa.

But Talonswood and its cruel cadets are far more than they seem, and so are the four men who rule it. Ellis. Asher. Reese. Cassis. Powerful, impossibly beautiful men who ignite a wildfire inside me—and who will stop at nothing to make my life a living hell.

But it turns out I’m more than I seem, too. And I’m not going down without a fight.

LAST CHANCE ACADEMY is a full length dark reverse harem paranormal romance. This is the first of four books in Immortals of Talonswood, a new series from Amazon’s top-100 author Alex Lidell. With hot shifter-fae, delicious vampires, one lone witch, Talonswood isn't your normal reform school. 
Last Chance Academy is the first book in a New Adult reverse harem paranormal series that fans of the genre are going to want to check out. I've read a few of the author's other books and really enjoyed them, so I thought this would be the same. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I guess I wasn't expecting so much "romance" if you want to call it that and the reverse harem trope didn't work for me. I guess I was hoping for more paranormal/fantasy with witches, shifters, and vampires set at a reform/boarding school setting. That's not what this was, which is my fault completely for misunderstanding. 

Although it wasn't my cup of tea, it was well written with a great female main character, multiple love interests that were decently rounded, and a fun story line that the author put her own spin on. I don't read this genre, so I don't know how it compares to other books out there. The plot wasn't very original, in my opinion, and it felt like everything was skimped on just to get to the whole "romance" aspect of it. Please remember that this is my own personal opinion and doesn't reflect on the book or the writing itself. I'm sure that fans of this genre and type will enjoy it and should give it a shot - especially if they've read and enjoyed the author's other works.
