Hello hello, friendo! Welcome back to Adele Is Reading.

Today on the blog, I have my series review of the Origins of the Six, written by A.K. Koonce, Aleera Anaya Ceres.

Origins of the Six is a 4 part series.

Apologies in advance, I can’t remember, didn’t write down any triggers that may be in these books.

Deadly monsters live in all of us.

The Academy of Six has just never seen a monster as terribly mundane as Izara Castillo. And that is a dangerous problem. She has four semesters to not only understand her supernatural abilities, but harness them as well.

Everything at the Academy is a disaster, from Interdimensional Travels through hell to the other hell they like to call Gym.

Bullies push her, test her, and simply try to kill her. A few broodingly protective roommates and a scary fake boyfriend could help. Or make her life impossibly harder.

Pretend to date the emotionally detached demon, they said. What’s the worst that could happen, they said.

It’s make or break within this prison of a school. If she succeeds, she’ll finally know what she’s capable of, who she truly is, and where she came from.

If she fails…she dies.

This is Reverse Harem series containing M/M themes. Recommended for readers 18 and over.

From GoodReads [x]:

“REVERSE HAREM” IS, LITERALLY, THE OPPOSITE OF “HAREM”, WITH A GROUP OF MALES CENTERING ROUND A SINGULAR FEMALE, USUALLY WITH THREE OR MORE MALES. QUITE OFTEN FOUND UNDER THE ROMANCE GENRE.

WARNING: There are MAJOR SPOILERS and VULGAR LANGUAGE within this review! Please read at your own discretion.

Also: This review is like, a short as hell review since I didn’t bother writing anything down pertaining my thoughts on the individual books.

Something that I may or may not have anticipated about Academy of Six, is that there are freaking 5 points of view within this first book. You can’t see it, but I’m very much chuckling to myself.

I guess the different points of view worked in the story’s favour, since my attention was glued to AOS. Like, 100%, couldn’t get me to stop reading even if I had wanted to. There are only 2 sentences I wrote down for Academy of Six, hahah.

I give Academy of Six 3 stars.

Control of Five (Book 2)

So I didn’t write down what I thought of the book– I actually ended up writing down a prediction that may or may not have come true. I legitimately cannot remember, ahhh hahah.

I have a feeling that Izara is Lucifer Morningstar would be her father. & I also believe that “Professor Shade” is actually Lucifer.

I gave Control of Five, 3 stars.

Destruction of Two (Book 3)

Book 3 was alright. It’s a fast read, that’s for sure.

I ended up giving DoT, 3 stars.

Wrath of One (Book 4)

Maybe it’s just me but I found it fucked up that the 5 of them would have sex, and proclaim their love for Izara, right in the middle of a huge battle. Though they were a few hundred feet off to the side. They weren’t literally in the middle of the war, fucking between fighting.

Other than that, the books were all super fast reads.

I ended up giving Wrath of One, 3 stars.

That’s all for my mega-short review today! If you’ve read this far, then I sincerely thank you for stopping by.

Have you read the Origins of the Six series? What did you think of it?

See you soon, and Happy Reading!
