Synopsis

A magical prince wants to date me, but there's one problem. This prince has claws.

Everyone at Shadow Hills Academy desires the dark and powerful Jarron Blackthorn. But I'm the only one who has seen the terrifying beast beneath his magical façade.

When my sister is murdered, and the case mysteriously dropped, I know where to begin my own investigation—Shadow Hills Academy, an elite school for supernaturals. Technically, I have zero magic, but just enough skills with potions to be accepted. Now I have the means to get close to the most likely culprits—powerful people like the demon prince Jarron.

I was friends with Jarron years ago, before I saw his true form, but I'm still shocked when he reacts to news of my sister's death with a determination for vengeance. He has a plan to help me get access to Elite Hall, where the most powerful students reside—by pretending to date me.

Dating a demon was NOT how I expected this year to start, but his plan will work. Hang on the arm of Jarron Blackthorn and everyone in school will be so desperate for my friendship they'll spill their secrets.

I just have to make sure Jarron never learns he is my number one suspect.

Keep your enemies close, right?

Goodreads review by Mo on November 30, 2024

I think I would have liked this a lot more if the FMC did not become increasingly insufferable. Whiney, cowardly, with an insane inferiority complex, and a control freak? Yeah no. I loved the MMC though. And yeah this is a little too repetitive, a good 100-150 pages could be cut from the middle there......more
