Surviving Year One
You thought there was only one Death Aww, that s sweet Just like all little girls, I hoped I was special and that one day my powers would be revealed My parents would be bewildered, my friends would equally worship and envy me, and my bullies would run away in terror Nothing happened when I turned 10 I didn t grow wings at 12, still wasn t able to make things move with my mind at 14, and at 16 I was already too old to believe in such nonsense Well, what do you think happened the day I turned 18 I got the confirmation that I was only human In the mail Oh, and also an invitation to apply to the Grim Reaper Academy Because, apparently, humans can be Grim Reapers, too Fast forward to day one, semester one, year one There s a test No one told me I d have to take a test to enter But there are only 22 Grim Reapers in the world, the competition is tough, so I guess it makes sense If I pass, then I will be sorted according to what kind of Death I ll make if I survive the rigors of the Academy Merciful Death Neutral Death Oh, please God, don t let me be sorted into the Violent Death Cabal All the A holes are there And I don t think I can compete with Holier Than Thou Sariel cause he s an archangel, you see , Jerkface No 1 Pazuzu AKA Paz cause all demons are major morons , Mr Bow To Me GC Apis ugh, false gods are the worst , and Francis no idea what his deal is, he doesn t talk much But this is my chance, dammit This is what I ve been waiting for all my life Okay, so I m not a princess, or a mermaid, or Sailor Moon But I can be a Grim Reaper one day I ll take itAuthor s Note This is book 1 in the Grim Reaper Academy series, intended for mature audiences Please be advised that it may contain situations that are triggering to some, including explicit language and a lot of steam

start so good It was borderline offensive, with some plot holes and a bit of cruel bullying that did not stick well with me But past the few first chapters, I learned to love Mila She had the backbone

know A 2 or maybe 2.5 as I ll likely read the next book to see what happens.This may be a long winded review because I m not sure what I think of this one.I do have to say that I nearly gave up after 30 pages and the only reason I carried on was a review saying things got a lot better after the first few chapters I would agree that things improved a little but I struggled with the writing all

one was mild compared to some so I picked it up pretty much immediately I was excited to find out my reaction to this genre and I have to say the bullying and humiliation part was hard for me to read It made me angry and I just wanted the bullying to end and the FMC to take revenge Also with the way it ended, I m a bit scared there This is my first Bully Romance BullyVerse book and I really

didn t find much to Paz or GC other than their physical forms or what they are I don t even know how Sariel can be redeemed enough from bully to boyfriend with all that he says and does His little rant in the end is not much to justify his behaviour I don t know what to think of Francis yet The major problem for me was the jarring transitions I felt that rough movement in everything, be it when she...So another bullying romance but a supernatural one Fast paced and left questions open at the end Mila a human with an awful father runs away gets a bit Harry Potter here to a school for grim
