I won’t break.Some humans eagerly await Collection Day, living their lives in preparation for that day when representatives of the Gods are sent out to pick one human from each of the six regions of Godsfell. Those Collected go to Godsvail Academy, the impenetrable school where cruelty reigns. But humans and Descendants alike compete for one thing – the right to Ascend.The Academy is treacherous, … Ascend.
The Academy is treacherous, and enemies lurk around every corner. None are worse than the five Descendants who are determined to torment me.
Break me.
All I’d wanted was to live out my very human life in my snow-covered Northern village, where my body and my will would be my own.
But the Gods and their Descendants have other plans for me.
And I’ll be lucky to survive.
Disclaimer: Impure is Book One of the Ascension series, a paranormal reverse harem romance set in an academy. This whychoose is set in a different city-state of the same world as InkHaven Academy, but none of the characters will be familiar. As always, it features m/m as well as m/f and group scenarios, but also features scenes that may be triggering for some. When we say its a dark bully, we mean it. Please use your own discretion, because it’s intense.

I love this story. Mireyah grew up hating the Gods and the Descendants because of the way they treat humans. One thing I love about Mireyah is that even though she hates the Gods and has openly voiced her opinion on the subject she does not force people to believe her opinion. For example her younger brother Varo, she wanted him to grow up and form his own opinion about how they are treated and the Gods for himself. Yes the story took a while to get into but it got really good later. So she is sent to this academy where she interact with descendants and five in particular; Tate, Ryle, Charolais, Shephard, and that horrible Hollis are like the popular guys in school. She also meets Annalee who is very blunt in her statement but is also the mean girl. With the exception of the rape scene (which is kinda of described as a person either high or drunk and semi-aware of what’s going on) I actually started liking some of the guys. Overall it was an enjoyable read. I will continue this series.
Ok, so this is my first review in English so i apologies for the grammar and/or the error .
I subscribe the ARC tem of Bardot and Tove after reading InkHaven Academy series witch I liked a lot and was one of the lucky one and got it for free .
This is a dark reverse harem bully romance and they nailed it , I really loved this book and loose a night sleep over , I couldn’t put it down.
So…
The story is not a new one , but is well written and the context is what I supposed will be if the Goods walk among us . The main character is Mireyah a girl born and rise in a harsh climate were the sun never shine for long, is a perpetual winter time and like her home so is she. Strong , Harsh and she really , really dislike the goods who treats humans and the human world lihe they play thing.
The tradition dictate that at 18 some are choose to better themselves … bullshit , they are choose to better the life of the goods and their Descendands whom live at Godsvail Academy till have the chance to ascend and became Gods themselves . The Descendants are the worst ( think bored rich kids ) and amuse themselves bulling the humans and Mireyah fall on the radar of the worst 4 , the kings of Godsvail Academy .
About them, I have mixed fillings; in the first half of the book I wanted to kill them myself , there are some situation which include rape in my opinion and I’m not cool with it not even in a fiction situation …
Then they try to redeem themselves but not enough, also in my opinion
The book overall is about sacrifice, struggle and personal growth of the characters and open the road to a very good series witch I cannot wait to devour ….
Rated 4.5
Ok first, this story is a RH PRN with MM interactions, has dark themes and bullying, so if you have triggers i suggest you skip this one or if you still want to give it a try be aware of what you will be reading.
Mireyahs life is turn upside down when she’s been selected to be one of the Collected and attend to Godsvail Academy. This girl is ballsy, courageous and her will to survive and protect her loved ones is what is keeping her from giving up and going through everything that is happening to her. Her open dislike of the Gods is what makes her so intriguing to them and therefore gets her in this situation in the first place.
I will admit, the guys were hard to like at the start and it took me a while to warm up to them. They were so mean to her and i was worried that i could not find them redeemable to me for the actions they did. The revelation that the guys were having sex together came a bit out of the blue in the story. Maybe having put some hints in the story would have been more flawless.
Overall, a truely enjoyed this read, the worldbuilding and plot were well done and kept me glued to the story till the end. Can’t wait to grab book 2 of this trilogy. Well done ladies!!
I received a free copy of this book from the authors and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book. There is bulky element to it so them men are difficult to like at the beginning. By the end they feel like very different people. I like how the FMC stayed fairly consistent and strong through the whole book. Can’t wait for the next book.
Absolutely awesome book! I got hooked from start to finish and now can’t wait to see what comes next in this awesome series!
This book, y’all…shew. She dispises everything about the gods..growing up in constant cold and snow, get family never having enough. Despite being bullied and punished at their whim she finds herself in love, but struggling for survival. The men, the fmc, the dynamic of this entire book…is amazing and I can’t wait for more! These ladies never disappoint!
This was a very enjoyable book. It was a little slow to get into it at the beginning but if you stick with it its definitely worth it! I would say it has a curse of the gods vibe meets hunger games. But a DARK version of both so make sure that is something you are OK with!
All of the guys definitely grow on you. Tate is a favorite followed by Shep. The intimate scenes are steamy!!!
We all knew there was going to be some kind of MM action in the book. I felt like the reveal of the guys being together didn’t feel organic. I know they purposefully kept it secret but there could have been a couple of hints ahead of time to help with the Reveal.
There were also some typos throughout the book, but overall it was a fun read and I can’t wait for the next book!
