Fortune Academy, Books 1-10

By: J.R. Thorn

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen, Troy Duran, Gregory Salinas

Over 40 Hours of Romantasy with 9 MMCs and 1 FMC!

Welcome to Fortune Academy, a school where supernaturals can feel at home—except I have no idea what I am.

The last thing I remember is arriving at the massive gates with a Bounty Hunter staring me down. I have a feeling he was supposed to take me to the monster holding arena to fight. Instead, I’m Fortune Academy’s newest student.

I can relate to the monsters in ways the other students can’t. My mentor, who is way too hot for his own good, tells me my behavior is the result of my memory loss and that I’m just trying to identify with a past pain that I’ve buried too far to feel.

I think he’s wrong.
I think the reason I can’t relate to any of the students is because I’m one of the monsters they’re trained to hunt.

I don’t fit into any of the supernatural cliques, and that makes me stand out in the wrong way.

A brawny wolf shifter, a moody dark mage, and a playboy demigod have decided to break me.
They think I don’t have any powers and that I was recruited by mistake.

It’ll be their funeral if they push me too far because I’m holding back. Whatever is buried deep inside me is something dark and dangerous that I can’t let out.

My name is Lily Fallen, but don’t let my pretty face fool you. I’m a monster in a school uniform, and it’s only a matter of time before I teach my bullies a lesson they won’t forget.

Fortune Academy is a complete 10-book collection of the bestselling series by J.R. Thorn, full of spice, snark, and found family in unexpected places.

Too long and drawn out

There was a lot of unnecessary repetition and long unnecessary internal monologues. Made the story move really slow. It also was too complicated at points, hard to focus and follow.

I loved the hole series

the entire series was very well written and the narrator did an amazing job telling it

Fortune Academy: Books 1–10 (Fortune Academy Series) by J.R. Thorn

Fortune Academy: Books 1–10 (Fortune Academy Series) by J.R. Thorn ~~ This entire series was an absolute escape for me — and that’s saying something because I don’t commit to ten-book series unless they truly deliver. From Book One through Book Ten, the story grows darker, deeper, and more emotionally intense in the best possible way. What starts as a paranormal academy story quickly turns into something far more layered, dangerous, and unforgettable.

Lily also known as Lilith is the heart of this series. Watching her grow into her power, embrace who she truly is, and struggle with what that power costs kept me fully invested from beginning to end. She isn’t perfect, she makes hard choices, and she carries the weight of every decision she makes which makes her feel real. The Underworld politics, betrayals, shifting alliances, and constant power struggles raise the stakes with every book. Nothing resets, nothing is forgotten, and every choice Lily makes has lasting consequences.

Her relationships are a huge part of the story, and this is very much a why-choose series. Lily’s journey is intertwined with her lovers including powerful, dangerous, and complex men such as Lucifer, Samael, Azazel, and others tied to the Underworld and Hell itself. Each relationship serves a purpose, adds depth to her character, and evolves alongside the plot rather than existing just for shock value. The emotional bonds, loyalty, jealousy, and passion all play into the larger story arc in a way that kept me hooked.

I read most of this series on Kindle, but when I wasn’t reading, I was listening on Audible ~ which I do often because reading and listening helps keep my head sane when I’m not teaching. The narration adds real depth to the emotions, especially in the later books when the tension is higher and everything is on the line. Switching between reading and listening was seamless, and both formats held my attention completely.

By the time I reached the later books, I was emotionally invested and genuinely didn’t want the series to end. This isn’t just magic and action ~ it’s growth, heartbreak, loyalty, sacrifice, and strength. The ending felt earned, and the journey to get there was absolutely worth it.

If you enjoy darker paranormal academy stories with strong character development, real consequences, and a series that only gets better as it goes on, this box set is a must-read (or must-listen).

⚠️ Content Warning:
This series is intended for readers 18+ only. It contains explicit sexual content, including frequent, graphic scenes and multiple partners (why-choose). If you are uncomfortable with detailed sexual situations or prefer low-heat romance, this series is not for you.

I would definitely recommend this book and series and can’t wait to start on the next book. If you want to know what happens next, you’ll just have to read this series yourself ~ you won’t regret it.

narration

If you thought you'd be getting Troy Duran and Gregory Salinas in these books as a dual or duet narration, dont bother, they only show up in like 1 or 2 bonus chapters. Vanessa is the only one narrating these books. I got fooled on that and im very disappointed on the false advertisement. I only bought the audio because it had multiple narrator names displayed. The story itself is decent tho. 🤷‍♀️

TBR many more times

I can listen to this multiple times. Surprise around every page! Great story line and narration is powerfull
