No woman has ever piloted a chimera, the legendary mechas that once served to defend Earth from the alien invasion that nearly destroyed us all. No one… until me.Once, I was a normal girl. Much to my mother’s dismay, I didn’t have any magic, but that was all right. Not every girl carried Gaia’s Gift. There were other things I could do to prove myself, even if I couldn’t heal the earth. I could … the earth. I could simply live a normal life—something which should always be treasured.
Maybe I’d have done exactly that had I not stumbled into the mysterious Sphinx, one the most dangerous metallic guardians in the world, considered impossible to pilot even by the most skilled Tamers.
As it turns out, that wasn’t exactly true. I have a natural talent for being a Tamer, a pilot for the elite unit of Chimera Warriors, and I’m the only one who can pilot the Sphinx.
There’s just one problem. To do that, I have to go to the legendary Chimera Academy. The all-boy academy, where everyone will hate me on principle. And I have to face the pilots of my future unit—all born and bred for this task.
Best friends August and Pollux, the pilots of the entwined chimeras Scylla and Charybdis, the heroes who once single-handedly repelled an attack from our worst enemies.
The mysterious, yet notorious Knox, pilot of the Cerberus, a fire-breathing demonic chimera almost as dangerous as its owner.
And last, but not least, Brendan, the heir of the Royal House of Chimera and pilot of the monstrous Typhon.
How can I compare to them? And how can I discover all the secrets Chimera Academy is hiding?
Chimera Academy is a 76k words reverse harem bully academy series with steamy scenes between the heroine and several heroes, as well as m/m content. It will contain themes of heavy discrimination based on gender. Some scenes may make you want to punch certain characters in the face. But don’t worry, my MC will do that for you—with a giant robot! There will be dark content ahead, so tread lightly!

It is a bit dark and there is bullying in it so please be aware but I really enjoyed the multiple plot twists and the characters especially Selene our heroine! It’s suspenseful, it’s captivating and I cannot wait to read more!

Souls of Steel by Eva Brandt is the first book in the Chimera Academy series. This book is a science fiction paranormal reverse harem adventure that occurs several hundred years in the future after the Earth has been partially destroyed by alien attack and humanities destruction of the planet when they tried to destroy the alien invaders. Out of this catastrophe came a new age and this is where the story begins. The main character, Selene is a woman out to challenge the gender role that has been forced upon her by attending an all male military academy and becoming a Chimera pilot. This book is very unique with lots of twists and turns. It has some very dark themes but that is part of why I enjoyed it so much. This book is definitely a winner. Souls of Steel is a very unique futuristic paranormal military academy adventure.
Story line is great and I loved the characters. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it! Unexpected twists and turns had me reading this book in one sitting. Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!

Another great book by this author and a really great start to a new series that I am already hooked on. Loved the characters in this one and the fact that its rh and a bully romance are just amazing bonuses for me completely. Can’t wait for more of this series.
This book was really different. It brings in every kind of emotions, people, and more. I didn’t get into the book like I would hope and it did leave a cliffhanger, so now I have to wait for the next book. I’m not really big on big cliffhangers. If you don’t have the stomach for emotion turmoil , you might want to think twice on reading this book. Keep an open mind for this read, so you can know that some of this really happens now. (not the machines)

I’m not usually a big fan of sci-fi. I need to be in the mood for this genre before i pick up this kind of book but i’m sure glad i did with Souls of Steel. I found myself engrossed in the story and i had to finish the book but at the same time i never wanted it to end!! Eva Brandt work is definitely a must read for me. I love all her books i’ve read so far.

This book was awesome. Selene Is the first female to be called to be a Chimera pilot. This doesn’t go over very well with the all male pilots. Things happen and she needs to toughen up to get through it I don’t want to give anything away you just need to read it ASAP. Can’t wait for the next one 🙂
I do not know where to begin with this book. First and foremost I have to say that as I was reading this book I was totally picturing the movie Pacific Rim to get a better picture of the Chimera’s. Totally picturing Charlie Hunnam as Knox or Brendan. Anyways back to what I was about to say. I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!! It was deceptively hot and I am thirsty for more. (Yes pun intended there.)
Selene Renard is a child of Gaia but without Magic. She is a daughter of a High Priestess as well. So when she finds out that there will be a Chimera in the city she is at she wants to see it. She has always found Chimera’s fascinating. She never imagined what would happen next. She meets Knox, Brendan, August and Pollux the four Grand Chimera’s. This group of four men is pretty interesting to say the least. So when she shows up at the Academy and that set them on edge. One because they are attracted to her and another they don’t want anything bad to happen to her. So they make a plan that either can make or break her. They did not expect her stubbornness and determination. Selene has a feeling about them and about other things going on and she is determined to prove everyone wrong. So her journey begins.
Oh my this book is sizzling hot, with action, and keeps you on your toes. It does leave in a mind blowing cliffhanger so beware. This is a great start to a new series and I cannot wait to read what is next.

With a strong FMC and a group of misguided boys what could possibly go wrong?
Selene is chosen as the tamer for The Sphinx and taken on a wild ride into a world where Brendan, Knox, August and Pollux try to protect her in all the wrong ways until the get it through their thick (male) brains that to truly protect her she needs to be theirs.
This is a wonderful example of an author who looks to extend our imagination in the best possible way.
