Cursed Magic is a full length, steamy, new adult paranormal academy romance where the heroine doesn’t have to choose. This is book one of three in the Bloodfire Academy series.

When things go sideways, what a girl really needs by her side is a sexy wolf shifter, a steamy incubus, and a smoldering mage.

Everyone has heard of Bloodfire Academy. It’s an elite school that takes the best of the best in the supernatural world. The students at Bloodfire are the children of members of a secret order. Think Illuminati but for the magical world and it is even more powerful.

Membership is inherited and it turns out my late mother was one of them. Who knew? Up until now, magic hasn’t really been my thing. But a girl can fake it, am I right?

There’s no faking it when I meet the sexy wolf shifter, steamy incubus, and smoldering mage. Seriously, this semester is going to be hot.

Then the attacks start. I thought I could figure out the magic part. But nobody said anything about monsters. As it turns out. Bloodfire Academy is more about survival than GPA.

Bloodfire Academy Review:

This was a wonderful, paranormal, fantasy that I a lot of fun reading!

Firstly, I loved Tansy as the main character. She is feisty, adventurous, confident and has a sense of humor. Moreover, for me, the romance element was the highlight of the story. It was a hoot to see the number of guys Tansy lusts for. Even if she feels that some of them are arrogant creeps, she still has the hots for them. I actually liked her chemistry with all of them, whether it was Ethan, Hayden or Nicolai. I was curious to see who she would end up with.

At the same time, I also liked the backstory of Tansy’s family history and how the Lennox played a controversial role at the academy. Also, the monsters of different elements added a nice touch, and it was exciting to see how Tansy reacted to them.

However, there were a few minor things that could have been better. For instance, I feel like the female supporting cast like Val, Cadence or even Hannah were not prominent in the story. I expected Val to be a major villain, but she does not show up much. Also, as the story progresses, you expect Tansy to grow academically and learn new powers. However, she doesn’t learn anything of her powers except when she is in front of the monster.

Furthermore, there are still some open-ended questions, which I would love to read about in the next book. I am curious to find out what is lurking in Somerset woods. The author nicely sets up the various sub plots that makes you want to pick the next book to see how it continues. But overall, this was a very entertaining story and I am excited to see how it continues.
