The Legacy: Semester 1 (Slayer Academy) by Amelia Shaw
Description……….
My Review…..
Reading the back cover, I got the impression of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I liked that show, so I flipped the kindle open and dived in…..
Megara (or Meg to her friends) is not a kick ass warrior woman, Meg is a book worm, sheโs not use to fighting and certainly not monsters. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Letโs go back …..
Meg is off to do a gap year before deciding whatโs next in her life she very excited. But her whole world is about to change, and in her opinion, not for the better.
Sheโs unaware that both her parents are Fae slayers (and are pretty good at their job) and itโs time for their daughter to leave this life and enrol in Slayer Academy, to say that Megara is shocked and displeased is an understatement…… sheโs thinking itโs a big joke, but as it sinks in, she realises her family are serious, they are going to shop her off to some school….
Arriving at the front of the academy Megara is in awe of the building, but sheโs also a little apprehensive, it doesnโt look too friendly, and the nerves Meg had been suppressing, come back big a bang (this is all some terrible dream).
We meet other class mates (and that wasnโt a great first meeting) they arenโt impressed, the Callumโs are great warriors and hunters of the Fae, and Meg, well sheโs a big disappointment!!!
We then read all the fun times (not) with weaponry (sheโs no good with swords) and her hand to hand skills are a joke!!! But the other lessons, Meg is a keen student and makes the grades.
And itโs not teenage angst unless there is a love story…. and this one will be a forbidden one, why? Is Fiore Fae ? And if so, thatโs a big NO NO in the slayer world, they canโt and shouldnโt be together, but you try telling a teenager NO๐and Fiore (thatโs the hunks name) is definitely worth disobeying everyone for. There is just something about him (besides being hot) there is a connection Megara has never felt with anyone before. But there is also that element of danger that keeps Meg from falling too deep.
We also have Brutus (a student at the school) there is definitely a spark between them, so we could have a love triangle๐
Oh and did I mention a Legacy? (Well the title does give it away) itโs her legacy, five generations of her family have attended and have slain the evil Fae. Is there more to her legacy (I have a feeling there is)
So if you like heroines thatโs arenโt warriors, that are nerds first and foremost, then you definitely need to pick this book up.
And book two….. if itโs half as good as this one, then Iโm in.
