The final term at Nocturne Academy has begun… and something dark is stirring beneath the surface...
Avery
Being gay in the magical world means hiding who you are—or
paying the price. I’ve learned to keep my head down, stay close to my coven,
and survive the football team's cruelty one insult at a time. But nothing
prepared me for Saint, my new roommate. There’s a haunted look in his golden
eyes... and a monster under his skin.
A Cursed Drake lives inside him—possessive, obsessed, and terrifyingly fixated
on me. He whispers of “cuddles,” but there’s violence in his desire. I should
be running. Instead, I’m drawn to both the boy and the beast.
Saint
My whole life, I’ve been taught to fear what I am. To hide
it. To fight it. But the curse burning inside me grows stronger every day. And
when Avery came into my life—brilliant, brave, and already carrying wounds of
his own—the fire inside me turned to obsession.
He soothes my madness. Calms the chaos.
But the Drake is hungry… and it wants him.
If I give in, I’ll lose myself. If I resist, I might lose him.
At Nocturne Academy, love is forbidden, dragons are cursed, and being different
can get you killed.
But some things are worth the danger.
Review:
The final book in the Nocturne Academy series did not disappoint. This is Avery and Saint’s story and is full of teenage boy angst, curses, and family drama. Drake and Danger is a YA story and does not contain explicit content but does cover mature themes.
Evangeline Anderson does a wonderful job of bringing to light the difficulties facing the LGBTQ+ community not only from their own family but society. If you have read the other three previous books, then you will understand that they have a “found and made” family from the coven they have all formed. Everyone needs support through life and this story is a good example.
All the original characters play a role in Avery and Saint’s story. Both the characters and readers get a closer look at both boy’s living situations at home. The story has non-stop action and is quite the page-turner.
In the final author notes, Evangeline Anderson, states that this will probably be the last story. She makes sure that we know they will all support one another going forward as a family. The ending is both a HEA and HFN.
I really enjoyed this final story.
