Academy of the Forsaken (Cursed Studies, #2)

Note: I received this book from the author and I voluntarily give this review, it is my honest opinion.
Academy of the Forsaken has absolutely shocked me. Eva is one of my favorite rh authors and I have read quite a few of her series so I generally know what to expect but this series for some reason has caught me by surprise.
Let's talk characters. While I do like Trix and the guys they weren't the best of people, they all have problems that they need to work on, I mean that's the entire reason the school picked them in the first place. But it's hard for me to know if I really like them or not because this evil as F college has put everything in a weird frame and it's hard to get a read on them. The college influences so much it's hard to say but I what I see so far I like them but I'm not swooning over them like I have with the guys in Eva's previous books. I like Trix, she is tough and hard on herself but she tries to make things better, she owns the crap she's done and tries to better in the future.
The story turned darker than I expected. Cade has a lot more scenes and the more he and Trix interact the more of the relationship dynamic is revealed and let's just say it's unsettling in the least. It revealed a big part of Trix's past and personality and makes me see her in a different light.
As for the story, it really got interesting this time, in this book, more of the past is brought to light. We learn more about each of the main characters, we finally find out exactly what each main character did to windup in Roseborne College. The reveal of their past is making things add up in the present why Roseborne effects them in certain ways and why the would navigate towards Trix and why their feelings for her are so strong.
The mystery started in Academy of the Forgotten, in Academy of the Forsaken, the mystery just keeps getting bigger. So many questions, who really runs the college, what happened in the school's past and why does Trix seem to be the exception to the rule when it comes to the school. This story ends on a crazy cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to getting answers to at least one of those questions.

Thanks for the review! I couldn't bring myself to finish the first book (which I've kinda struggled with since I love Eva Chase) because I just felt so confused and the actions of the people didn't really make sense to me. Your review has made me wanna make another pass at it with the bit you have revealed without it really spoiling anything. Thank you!

Truth be told I'm a big Eva fan but this series was a little hard to get into but gets better.
