About this book
Escaping a suffocating home life was all Chloe ever wanted, but fate had a much more dangerous plan in store. Just as she approaches her eighteenth birthday, her world is upended by the sudden arrival of five powerful, enigmatic men. From the childhood best friend to the dark, brooding alpha, each of these supernaturals ignites a primal pull beneath her skin that she cannot ignore.
This gripping paranormal romance introduces readers to the exclusive world of Castle Academy, where the air is thick with mystery and the stakes are life-or-death. As a quintessential reverse-harem read, the story masterfully weaves the fated-mates trope into a high-tension narrative. Chloe soon discovers that her new protectors are not just offering her a fresh start; they are keeping secrets that threaten to tear her reality apart.
As a dark, creeping evil begins to hunt them all, Chloe must learn to trust her instincts and her new companions in a desperate fight for survival. If you are looking for an addictive series filled with intense chemistry, supernatural intrigue, and a why-choose dynamic that keeps you guessing, this trilogy opener delivers the perfect blend of dark fantasy and scorching romance.

Omg!!!! Omg!!! Omg!!! This book is fantastic! I am so at awe and at a loss of words to truly describe this book because I was left speechless at the end.

I actually couldn't put it down, and it was almost a fast-paced read for me because I was so addicted to the storyline. The plot never jumbles around or has any holes. The characters are amazing, and...

One of my favorite new authors I found in the last year is @tessahalewrites 😍 She writes Fantasy with Why Choose and they are such fun reads and just so comforting when you need a quick read to just fall into. My first series by her was Supernaturals of Castle Academy. This follows the story of Leighton and how she finds herself, love with multiple different men, and her own power as well as overcoming her feelings of not belonging or being enough for those around her. As someone who struggles...
