About this listen

Magic is dangerous. I should know. It got me a 30-year sentence scrubbing toilets for a scumbag wizard. My only hope is the Unleashing, a ceremony that unlocks the dormant powers of magical descendants when we turn 18. Since my mom was a lowly psychic, I don’t expect to be blessed with much more than the ability to forecast the weather. But when the sorcerers unlock my magic, all hell breaks loose.

Turns out, I’m not a wizard, witch, or even a sorcerer.

I’m...something else.

Because of my unique abilities, I’m required to attend the Academy of Sorcery until I learn to harness and control my magic. Not only that, but the three sexiest and most powerful sorcerers on campus are assigned to guard me night and day.

Jackpot, right?

Not quite.

Turns out these guys aren’t too happy with the arrangement, and they show it by making my life hell. That’s just the beginning of my troubles. The mean-girl squad declares open season on me, a mysterious woman attacks me every time I step off campus, and my professor is too hot for his own good. And when it’s time to find a weapon to help me master my abilities, my magic chooses...a spork.

It’s going to be a long year.

Note: This is a reverse harem series perfect for listeners who enjoy: light bully romance and enemies-to-lovers, college academies, student-teacher forbidden romance, badass heroine who holds her own against alpha males, and fun, fast-paced listens intended for ages 18+.

Great story!

Term 1, Unleashing Trials is a fantastic start to a new paranormal series, Academy of Sorcery, Book 1. It's well written, hilarious, steamy, and wholly entertaining, with fabulous characters; I was immersed from start to end. Outstanding performance by Marnye Young, she literally brought the story to life. This was a very enjoyable audiobook, one I'll recommend. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Interesting Story

I liked the unique world and the premise behind the Unleashing. I couldn't help but laugh (and cringe) when the MC's powers are released for the first time. When you listen to the book, you'll know why.

This book has drama, mystery and definitely humour. It was a fun and easy listen. If you're interested in paranormal RH, check out this series.

An entertaining start to the series

I enjoyed this well narrated audiobook. It is a steamy NSFW reverse harem with a whole heap of steam and a nice set up for further books in the series. I am not gripped by the plot yet but I do look forward to seeing what else this series has to offer.

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧An Amazing Fantasy PNR

This is a fantastic story and start to a fascinating series. This is my first book by Alexa B. James and Athena Phoenix and it will not be my last, I enjoyed their writing style and the imaginative world and characters they created. The storylines are interesting, they grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end. I adored Jade, the the lead female character, she a badass, strong minded and fearless. She is stuck working a job she hates but does it to keep her Father safe. She reached her 18 birthday and all 18 year olds from magical decent must attend an unleashing ceremony at the Academy of Sorcery. The Wizards exam each to see if and what magical power they may hold. Jade was reluctant to attend but asked Silas, her boss but he said no, but then Rocco and Thorn from the Academy came to take her there. Not all were welcoming to her, she did make a couple of friends, Elowen and Asher, but the popular girls hated on her right from the start. The big surprise to all was the results of her unleashing, turns out she holds the powers of a goddess, a sex goddess and her unleashing created havoc to all those in attendance. Rocco, Ryker, Thorn and Professor Darius, head sorcerer, are assigned to watch out for her and teach her. There is a lot of sexual tension between them, she thinks it is because of the power she emanates not because they like her. A lot goes on it this book, it is cleverly plotted and there is never a dull moment. There is plenty of drama, angst, some humor, twists and turns, some thrilling and suspenseful moments and some hot romance. Thank you for this fantastic story, I am looking forward to what comes next for Jade and her harem of men.

Marnye Young is a fabulous narrator and voice artist. She brings the characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality. She does an amazing job portraying the characters, humanizing them, capturing their emotions and projecting them into her performance. She
is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen🎧

Great Introduction to the Series!

This is the first term in the Academy of Sorcery Series, a Paranormal Reverse Harem Series. Jade is a fantastic character, strong, and sassy. Her three powerful sorcerers guards, Rocco, Thorn, and Ryker are alpha, and intriguing. Professor Darius is handsome, protective, and enigmatic. Asher is an amazing supporting character. The world building is fantastic, original, and intriguing, filled with magic, action, mystery, lust, and slow burn romance. The storyline is intricate, fun, entertaining, and intriguing. The light bully, and the forbidden romance, are a great addition to the story. Marnye Young has a beautiful voice, very pleasant to listen to, and easy to understand. She did an outstanding job with the narration. This is a great introduction to the Series, and I can't wait to listen to Fallen Master, the next book in the Series. If you like RH Paranormal Romance, this Series is definitely for you!
