Cursed Academy (Year One)[A Supernatural Academy Romance]

De: Holly Hook

The Cursed Academy Series is Now Complete With All Six Books! Year Four Is Now Released! Giselle Bowman never thought she'd be descended from a Greek god...or a monster.

One academy prepares the lucky descendants of Greek gods for a life of power and privilege.

Another must teach the descendants of mythical monsters how to serve their betters.

When the Greek gods mysteriously woke twenty years ago, everyone with divine blood gained magic. Everyone dreams of that rare, sacred invite to the Olympian Academy.

A small-town, awkward klutz like me has no chance of an invite. I can only hope to escape working in my grandmother's dusty convenience store after graduation.

But when I accidentally summon a void that almost eats my so-called friend, my tracker finds me.

Ronin.

Insanely gorgeous, descended from Zeus, and out of my league, he sweeps me out of my boring life.

Of course, there's a catch. Only some magical people go to Olympian.

Others get sent to Cursed Academy, where the descendants of dark gods and monsters train to serve.

Guess what? I’m unlucky. Cursed Academy, here we come.

But maybe that’s not the end of it. I have a type of magic no one’s seen before, and even though Ronin goes to Olympian next door, he keeps finding me. And now he’s my tutor.

That’s good, even if he's annoying. Someone is trying to kidnap me thanks to my unique magic, and maybe they’re already on campus. With nowhere else to turn, I need Ronin’s help.

Can I deal with the terrifying truth about myself and my powers?


Cursed Academy is a teen supernatural academy romance series based on the dark side of Greek mythology. It is a complete series and takes place fourteen years before the events of Monster Academy: Semester One.

Great story

Listened to this story while traveling with family for spring break. Everyone enjoyed. The AI did sound a little robotic but it didn’t take away from the story. My husband, 15 yr old daughter and I all want to listen to Book 2!

good story

I enjoyed the story but the AI is what ruined it for me. I hope the remaining books aren't read the same way.

Best AI Narration

AI NARRATION

PROS: Narration didn’t sound annoying, disjointed, rushed, or robotic. With AI you don’t have to deal with hearing the narrator’s breath, spit, or those awful dramatic “S” and “P” sounds. As far as AI reading goes, this was pretty good.

CONS: AI reading wasn’t able to use different accents for the different characters, it lost the opportunity to add emphasis on exciting parts, and lacked a bit of personality.

STORY

PROS: Appropriate for YA, uses simple verbiage, has relatable side characters.

CONS: Lacks plot complexity, lacks character development, and lacks world building.

Bad narration ruins story

I couldn’t even listen to the entire first chapter as the bad AI narrator droned on and I had no idea what was going on, if a character was talking or if it was narration.
