Grimmstead Academy Series by Candace Wondrak

When offered a position at the obscure Grimmstead Academy, I jump on it. It’s not that I’m running from my past, it’s just…well, some things are better left forgotten. An academy for lost souls and criminals? Not exactly what I signed up for, but as I’m about to learn, once you step within the halls of Grimmstead, you can never leave. As the days wear on, I find out that no one is innocent here. Not me, not the ruggedly attractive headmaster, and certainly not its dangerous, handsome students... moreWhen offered a position at the obscure Grimmstead Academy, I jump on it. It’s not that I’m running from my past, it’s just…well, some things are better left forgotten. An academy for lost souls and criminals? Not exactly what I signed up for, but as I’m about to learn, once you step within the halls of Grimmstead, you can never leave. As the days wear on, I find out that no one is innocent here. Not me, not the ruggedly attractive headmaster, and certainly not its dangerous, handsome students. Me coming to Grimmstead was like a lamb running into a den of lions, only these lions are just as likely to attack each other as they are me. Mysteries lie within the heart of Grimmstead Academy, and I just might be the key to it all. The walls of Grimmstead are painted with three things.Depravity.Insanity. And blood. If you can’t trust your own mind, who can you trust? GA: A Villainous Introduction is the first book in a planned RH trilogy. There is graphic violence in this book, along with steamy scenes. less

When I walked into Grimmstead Academy that first day, I never imagined the horror waiting for me within. Each and every soul living under its roof is broken and lost, from the stern and serious Lucien to the students. Ian and his smooth overconfidence, Dagen and his anxious paranoia, Payne and his fascination with all things blood, and Koda and his smiles—and of course, who could forget the murderous Bram? Things are set to become even more twisted and dark... moreWhen I walked into Grimmstead Academy that first day, I never imagined the horror waiting for me within.

Fighting evil was not something I signed up for when I accepted a position at Grimmstead Academy, but here I am. This house is alive, and its mouth is hungry. Chaos flows from it, causing every soul stuck here to be mad. Ian, Dagen, Payne, Koda, Bram, and Lucien—their weaknesses all stem from one man. Victor Grimmstead. Victor is back, alive and walking through the halls as if he’d never left. Can he be trusted? The jury’s still out... moreFighting evil was not something I signed up for when I accepted a position at Grimmstead Academy, but here I am. This house is alive, and its mouth is hungry.

Victor is back, alive and walking through the halls as if he’d never left. Can he be trusted? The jury’s still out. But it’s not time for uncertainty; it’s time for rebellion, to fight the supernatural power keeping us here. This game will finally end, even if it means I have to give everything to end it. In Grimmstead, you can’t trust yourself. You can’t trust anyone. The blood, the insanity, the confusion—it all leads to a choice none of us can take back. Once caught in the web, it never lets you go. **GA: Defiant Rebellion is the third and final book in the Grimmstead Academy series; it is not your typical academy read. There is graphic violence along with steamy scenes and psychotic love interests. There is no choosing between love interests here.** less
