Synopsis: Welcome to the Van Helsing Academy: a rehabilitation center for vampires, shifters, and witches who don't like to follow the rules.

Mina can't remember anything about the night she was attacked. All she knows is what she's been told: she got separated from her team during a mission and turned up two months later covered in cuts and bruises alongside two dead vampires.

After being blamed for their deaths, she is sentenced to three years at the supernatural rehabilitation center, the Van Helsing Academy.

As Mina searches for answers, lies are slowly unraveled and alliances forged. Soon she will uncover a secret plot that threatens to destroy her family legacy and ignite a war between the supernatural factions.

Review: This was a fun book! The writing was amazingly well done, the characters were well developed and the world building was sublime! I loved the world that this author built and I felt this was one of the most fun paranormal books I’ve read in a bit. It’s also a really short book and the pacing is super fast, so be prepared to start running when you read!

The only issue I had was that the romance took a bit to build up and it was a bit slower than what the plot was, which felt a little off, but it was still fun!

Verdict: Definitely recommend!
