What exactly did dear old mum get up to before I was born?I was supposed to be going to Harvard on a full ride. I’ve always been excellent at chemistry. Turns out my knack for chemicals was because my mum is a witch and a potions master. Did I mention she summoned a demon for a ritual and Lucifer himself came? Can I tell you how weird it is to go from card carrying atheist to finding out Satan is … carrying atheist to finding out Satan is your dad? Harvard is out. My magic was bound when I was a baby. Apparently, now I’m going to Fortuna Conservatory instead because once I’m unbound, I can cause hell on earth. Something about being the princess of Hell.
I’m engaged to be married to who I thought was my mother’s cat and a boy from my high school I’ve nicknamed Cockblocker. Oh, he’s actually a hellcat and I hate him. I’m trying to get out of it. My high school ex is a hellhound and he’s at Fortuna with me. He’s unusually interested in who my father is and would have known what I was when we were dating. In fact, there are two hellhound leaders here that are just a little too interested in dear old dad. I’m woefully behind in everything since I was raised as human. A green haired warlock has taken me under his wing to help me with magic. A vampire tutor was arranged for me by the woman who foretold my birth.
All the answers about me came in a vision to the hellcat’s mother, Lilith. She’s the one moving pieces in the background. She’s arranging marriages, choosing my classes, and putting people in my path. She’s also avoiding giving us any answers.
Can I navigate a magical school when I have no training, not kill this hellcat I’m engaged to, manage my crushes on the warlock and vampire, and still survive with two huge hellhounds sniffing around? Something big is happening. My birth wouldn’t have been foretold if it wasn’t. I need to unlock all of my gifts as half angel half witch because whatever is going on, I’ve only scratched the surface.

What a great storyline!!! I kept laughing after the first couple chapters!! Love the Nephilum-Hellcat relationship(or lack there of) Poor Keane LOL. Thoroughly love reading about the other magical creatures too! Vampires, Hellhounds and Hellcats…..OH MY!!! Love how she smells different to everyone and makes me wonder what I smell like though. HA! HA!! Can not wait to read the next book in the series!!!

My next ADULT ‘Harry Potter’ style series. Yay!! ( my other one ended – boo hoo). I am intrigued by the parents of our heroine. How will that combination work out.
You are ready to off to the college of your drams, have your future planned out and BAM!, your life changes in an instance. Now add to that , you find out that you have magic and need to go to this school. Every one has learned their magic while growing up. Not you. Add to that you can scent your mate but it is more than one. That is not the usual way it happens. I can see where that may go, but not able to quite see what is the big ‘what side you are on’ thing is leading to.
Looking forward to the next book.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC copy.
Loved this book! The first chapter was a little rough, but man did it get me hook, line, and sinker. I love all of the characters, but Keane is one of my favorites! I am partial to cats. This book has twists, turns, and some smoking sex! The character development is great! I love it when a heroine is not some simpering girl who waits for. man to rescue her! The series is a must read!
I do not normally read academy stories, but I really liked this one. It is a college academy so it has content for a more mature audience (which is great). It has many characters for which the time and structure is taken to build well-developed personalities. I would recommend reading these books back-to-back until the series is complete as they are not stand-alone stories but rather build onto each other. JB intertwines love and angst into a paranormal world where characters from different belief systems live and work together for the betterment of the world. Her protagonist (heroine) is young, sassy, strong-willed, and eager to learn. She takes each barrier with determination, righteousness, and love in her mind and soul. I cannot wait to read more from JB Trepagnier!
I almost didn’t finish this one because the main character is horrible for the first half of the book. Haley is a whiny, selfish, mean, horrible character for the first half. She gets better as the story unfolds, but it’s a slow improvement. I don’t really know the point of the story. Everyone wants to know who her fathers is, but no idea why. Haley is to have 5 mates, but does she keep them all or does have to pick one. This first book is a meet characters and leave questions, but these characters are just not very captivating. I won’t be reading book 2.
This it the first installment in the “Fortuna Academy” series and it really set my imagination on fire! Excellent world building, amazing characters and an intriguing plotline that kept me glued to my e-reader from start to finish. I can’t wait to read more of Hayley’s adventures!!!

What do u do when u find out your mum is a witch and your dad is the devil? Why you go to the Fortuna academy of course to navigate your powers before unleash hell on earth!! This grabbed me from the blurb and this first book has it all from magic, witches, warlocks, vampires, hellhounds/cats, fun, adventure and twists and turns that will have u hooked as Well! Looking forward to reading more!
This is one of the best written RH stories! It is very rare to feel such a strong connection with the story and it’s characters from the get-go. This book completely absorbs you and straps you in for the ride. Action, mystery, fun and laughter all wrapped up in this awesome story!
Hayley, being raised as a human all her life, gets thrown into a world she never believed existed and took it like a champ. She gets told her father is the actual king of hell, her mother is a powerful witch, and that there is a prophecy on her that no one in existence has been able to decipher. Apparently she has more than one mate and Lilith’s son is one of them. She will need the help of all her mates to get caught up on her training and figure out why the hellhounds are all after the identity of her father. Seems a few surprises are in store for all of them.
I loved every second of this book, from beginning to end. I was already laughing out loud before the first chapter was done. The connection between the story, the characters and the reader happens instantly. Such a great read and well worth starting the journey!

This is book 1 in the Fortuna Academy series. A great start to the series. The storyline is well written with well developed characters. Kept me interested throughout and not wanting to put my kindle down. I recommend reading.

Watch out Fortuna Conservatory because Haley is on her way and she’s livid. She had a free ride to Harvard but now she finds out her daddy is Lucifer, as in Satan himself, and her mom is a powerful witch who bound Haley’s powers when she was young. On top of that her moms cat is a Hellcat, shifter, and her mate. Join this fun and chaotic story as Haley finds more than she’s bargained for!

First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. This is my first time reading this author, and I know it won’t be my last.
Holy shiznet!!! This story grabbed me from the first page and held me to the end. Hayley is the daughter of Lucifer, the Princess of Hell. But she didn’t know that at first, she thought she was just a normal human girl. Surprise!!! She goes off to an academy to learn more about her magic and powers with the hellcat, Keane, who she thinks she hates. She meets a warlock, Azriel, and a vampire, Kirnon, who turn out to be more than they all thought. There’s a lot happening throughout this story. I’m off to read the next. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
Hayley just graduated high school and can’t wait to start studying chemistry at Harvard. Then she comes home and finds two men talking to her mom about Fortuna Academy and the power outage that Hayley caused. Sure she has a temper, but no one can do that. Turns out the daughter of a powerful witch and Lucifer definitely can. Hayley heads to the Academy with her Hellcat mate, where she promptly makes friends with a warlock and a vampire. She also has to avoid the Hellhounds who have an unhealthy interest in knowing who her father is. Hayley is a very personable character and her interactions with the men in her life are enjoyable to watch. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.

This is the first book I have read of this author but it will not be the last. I immediately fell into the story and did not want to put it down. I laughed and cried with these characters as they slowly evolve into a cohesive unit. I cannot wait to see what is in store in the next book.

ONE INCREDIBLY DELIGHTFUL TREAT!!!
Time keeps on ticking! I’m not sure what I expected, but it is bad boy is definitely worth my time and more. One exciting, action packed, fast paced, intriguing, page turning delight that really grabbed my attention from the start. Twists and turns, ups and downs, a few glitches and bumps here and there make for one engaging experience. As the drama, danger and suspense rises the tension thickens, every sense heightened as the story unfolds. Wrangling the trials and tribulations as we witness the distress and turmoil that fuses this bad boy together piece by piece. The characters and their personalities are unique with qualities and traits that balance out perfectly. The scenes are so graphically detailed it really brings each scenario to life as it plays off one another in perfect balance. Trepagnier did a remarkable pulling this bad boy together beautifully. Fantastic job Trepagnier, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
“Am I the f***ing Antichrist? I was an Atheist until you popped in our living room.” Wow-za this book is witty and sarcastic and I love it! Lucifer like you’ve never seen him before plays the doting, dorky dad that we NEED in our life. This book keeps you on your toes with an extremely well built world and tons of mythology to help you understand everything going on. The characters are amazingly done; you either love to love them or love to hate them depending on their role in the story. I dove in head first after reading several bad paranormal academy style books, this was such a breath of fresh air, and binge read all the current books in one night. It’s full of mythology, but its well delivered and not overwhelming which is a gem in its self. Early on you can pick out most of the future RH members and by the end of the novel you’ll probably figure them all out. I loved the variety of the guy’s personalities and that each geek, alpha, or etc were unique on their own without just one major defining factor. I thought it was hilarious no one ever even considered Lucy as a dad possibility.

This was an enchanting, entertaining, magical story about a human who finds out there is a lot more to love and life than she had been raised to believe. A lot of this tale has to do with friendship, trust, and inner strength. This is the first section of what promises to be a terrific series about witches, vampires, angels, demons, etc. If I hadn’;t already been a huge fan of JB Trepagnier, I would be now. It ends in an ok for now sort of cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to read the next section.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
Fire and Brimstone: A Reverse Harem Paranormal Academy Romance by JB Trepagnier is a wonderful story to read. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series that I have fallen in love with. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about dark, romantic suspense and paranormal romances in their stories.
