Overwhelmed by Magic

2024

I, Skye Bardot, have been assigned as counselor \#1 to the Academy of Rejects. One of the worst magical academies to exist. They house the darkest, most ruthless creatures that failed regular training. And they thought I’d be the best choice to deal with this unruly bunch of monsters? There’s just a few problems. I’m human. I can’t seem to keep from fantasizing about a few of these creatures in positions other than seated in my office. And the worst part? I seem to be irresistible to every single body that walks in those doors. Between wicked smiles, chaste kisses, and growing bonds from not just one but five creatures that should only be found in nightmares, I’m starting to crave the darkness they're offering in exchange for my heart. Add in the secrets revolving around why the Academy exists in the first place and I might not survive. Five creatures. Five chances to get this wrong. And one heart that’s not sure whether to let them in or let them go. Did I mention that this is only year one? Goddess, save me. Welcome to the Academy of Rejects. Overwhelmed by Magic is the first installment and is an 18\+ MMMMMM Dark Magical Academy series that involves uncommon species, magic, and a whole bunch of secrets waiting to be unleashed. CW/TW can be found in the Author’s Note.

Consumed by Shadows

2025

Skye's Story Continues in Consumed by Shadows I survived one week. One week before everything went to hell. I'm the keeper of all Mother Nature's secrets? That has to be a joke. Add in the fact that my greatest enemy seems to be essence itself and whatever Ambrose is, I know I'm in way over my head. Because he’s more than just a mage. I’d say he was a demon’s close relative if I didn't know any better. Mother Nature says I’m not far off. Consumed by Shadows is the second installment in The Academy of Rejects series. It is an 18\+ Dark MMMMMM PNR Academy Romance and significantly darker than book one. Overwhelmed by Essence must be read before this one. CW/TW in the Author's Note.
