This wasn’t my favorite in the series but it was original and Jasmine Mas has a beautiful intricate writing style that I absolutely love. The reason for it not being my favorite is it ended up being more world building and I missed Sadie so much since we switch to Aran’s POV. It took me a while to get used to her and I don’t like when a character is constantly suffering as it’s not for me. I also didn’t warm up to the new characters very fast but the last 100 pages I got really into the direction we were heading for the next book. I can’t wait to see what’s next in this series!

im not a weak bitch but this book brought me to the ground❓🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️ so many things wrong with this, it made me feel like shit

fmc keeps droning on and on about the monSTEr 👾👾🧌 inside her but we never see this materialize UNTIL class battles where she hacks and saws the UnGodLy 🩸🗡️. so of course this makes her a monster 🫨🫨😭

she’s strong one second and the next she’s not. this is valid guys, and i actually found myself cheering her on during her standoffs with the 3️⃣ (asshole) kings. but if ITS already SO PROBLEMATIC I CANT - the torture, the aChing wound on her back everything is mentioned about every other fucking page, making ME want to eat her heart.

her anxiety cripples her so much it offhandedly describes how she slams her head on the floor, on the wall, on the desk?

i cant even get started on the three 🐷, they’re sadistic, misogynistic and full of hate no one from them is redeemable. yes fuck you orion 😍😺😺 i dont care if you dont speak, but if youre just standing while others are being beaten up & abused somethings fucking wrong with you.

and the ending REALLY❓😺😺🫠🫠 of course the sadistic unfeeling vampyre lothaire is her fucking father whose emotions suddenly SWITCH when he finds out aran is his daughter.

and since we decided to give fmc all the horrible things to ever happen to a fmc, of course she becomes a slave at the end - what being the slave means i dont even care to know anymore 🤦🏻‍♀️

Didn’t like this as much as the first 3 Shifterverse books. 

I do like Aran, and the plot is decent. World-building is great. I just found the MMCs to be unbearable.

I liked this book a LOT more than expected. I loved Sadie and her mates and wasn’t ready to let go, but Aran/Arabella was a nice change that was still similar.

I received this spicy why choose romance as an ARC and absolutely loved it! This is book 4 in the Cruel Shifterverse series but the beginning of Aran's story. I definitely recommend reading the series in order, but there is a helpful recap of the important events in the first three books at the beginning. Psycho Academy is definitely dark and violent but surprisingly funny at times. This is slow burn enemies to lovers, so don't expect romance right off the bat. Overall a great read and I already can't wait for the next book im the series!
