At the Academy of the Gods, winner takes all and the games are about to begin.The name’s Kore, daughter of Demeter, crown goddess of spring, but you can call me Kory.Along with my invitation to attend the elite Olympus Academy where all the top deities send their brats for training, comes the news that I’m betrothed to Hades, tall, dark and brooding god of the underworld. I’d much rather be Queen … underworld.
I’d much rather be Queen Bee of my girl gang back home, slinging Panaceas to spoiled rich Olympians, but I have three years to enjoy my life before I’m ruling the denizens of hell at Hades’ side and I refuse to waste it making him look good.
Turns out, my betrothed has a gang of his own. The Triad, made up of Hades, Loki and Fenrir, rules the school and they expect me to bow down like everyone else.
Sure, Janus. Cue eyeroll.
The three of them share everything, and when I humiliate Hades my first night at the Academy by making the tiniest immortal faux pas, their lust turns to cruelty and they start to edge in on my side hustle, but that’s fine with me. Four can play at that game.
This is the first book in the Academy of the Gods series, a Paranormal Bully Academy Romance. Slow burn, all characters are 18+.

My review is based on the three books, since I already read all of them. I really liked this trilogy. When I started reading the first I thought that it was another teen book all of the same but midways of the book my opinion changed. For me it’s all about the characters and theirs personality and this book has a lot of hilarious personalities! It was a very good time spend reading and it gets even better in the second and third book!
This is a fab academy read, one that once you start you will not be able to put it down. A storyline with a difference this Paranormal Bully Academy Romance has great characters especially a no nonsense kick ass female mc! I look forward to reading more!
Kore aka Persephone (the MFC) is just starting at Olympus Academy. A school full of gods who are full of themselves. Well the majority are. The worst being the triad – Hades (who happens to be an arse**** and her fiance??) Loki (yes Thor’s brother that loki) and Fenrir (A Hellhound) who seemed to be running the academy. Now theyve made Kore public enemy number one. A place she really doesnt want to be. This starts a game of wills between Kore and the triad. Who knows how it will end but it makes for a down right great read. I love books about Gods and Goddesses. I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Review
If you like a kicka** female that takes nothing from anyone than you are going to love Kory! We meet Kory as she is walking up to the academy for the first time after getting caught by her mom doin something she isn’t supposed to be doing in NYC where they live(don’t want to give anything away there).
Everything would be fine at this new school but a few things get in the way of having a good experience. The first is that Kory is Hades fiancé and this was set up by their parents! Second, Kory doesn’t back down to the Triad. Lastly she is chosen to be the rabbit!
Throughout the first book we see how Kory deals with all these things and more! You definitely don’t want to miss how kicka** this female is!!
This was an awesome start to a new series and such a twist on mythology! After getting busted for selling Panacea, the wonder drug, Kore, aka Persephone, is sent off to Atlantis for Olympus Academy. She’s been pushing it off for as long as she could because she didn’t want to meet or be near her dreaded betrothed, Hades, and he’s worse than she thought he could be. He’s part of the academy’s triad along with Loki and Fenrir and they rule the school. I love that Kore doesn’t take anyone’s crap and knows how to stand up for herself even if she puts her foot in her mouth many, many times. Her friendship with Dionysus is perfect, but even though she doesn’t think anything more will come from it, I hope it does. I liked watching her slow, but growing relationships with the triad form and I can’t wait for it to become a complete harem. The gods and goddesses in this book are on different timelines and not how you know them to be. I enjoyed all of the twists and turns, secrets, snarky banter, and this unique portrayal of Greek and Norse mythology in a modern setting.
*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
Kore Persephone Ademone was a bad girl; well, she THOUGHT she was. That is until she was accepted into Olympic Academy. Kore was already frustrated at being forced into attending the academy; to make matters worse, so was her fiancée Hades. Yes, THAT Hades.
Kore wasn’t finding it simple or easy to fit in, but she tried… for about twenty-four hours. Then she committed a faux pas that has her on everyone’s “hit list”, and NOT in a good way. Led by Hades and his cohorts Loki and Fenrir, Kore is now prey for every god, goddess and godlet at the academy….
“Sure, Olympus Academy was adorned in luxury from top to bottom, but the student body was rotten to the core and at the very pit of that rotten core were three bad seeds, one of whom I hadn’t even met.” – Kore
After a Training class goes wrong, Kore ends up in the infirmary with a broken arm. Kore knows now, without a doubt, that the game is not only dangerous, it can become deadly. It’s time for Kore to up her game as well and become the predator instead of the prey…
“Something told me this was the first time a Rabbit had actually stood up to the bullying everyone else seemed to view as fate, and they were in for a treat. I wasn’t about to bow my head to the Triad anytime soon, and when I finally did, they were in trouble.” – Kore
Nothing’s as dangerous as an animal in a cage. Especially one who let herself get caught. – Kore
Oh my…. what a ride! Sassy and sexy Kore may not have known what she was in for when she met Hades for the first time, but she certainly figured it out! And Hades, Loki and Fenrir were clueless when they tagged Kore as the “White Rabbit”! A rollicking good read!
This book omg I read it all in one day omg. I love Hades and Persephone I always have and this just made me love them more. This book was so good you guys if you love mythological lure with the Olympic games and the gods and goddesses you NEED to read this book asap.
