Arctic Bonds

A Reverse Harem Shifter Academy Romance

De: Jaye Marellen

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

My mother died with secrets on her lips. Now those secrets are trying to kill me.

I came to Frosthaven Academy for a fresh start. What I found was a world I didn't know existed—and a body that's changing in impossible ways.

I heal instantly. I'm stronger than I should be. And when certain men touch me, my skin ignites with heat.

Luca, my RA, knows what I need before I do. His touch feels like coming home.

Professor Tomlinson watches me with barely controlled hunger, then pushes me away because wanting me could destroy his career.

Ash, the professor's reckless brother, makes me laugh for the first time since Mom died—and eases a grief I thought would drown me.

But these aren't just crushes. These connections are fated—ancient magic that's supposed to be rare.

And I'm manifesting bonds that shouldn't be possible.

The Council watches my every move. The headmaster wants me gone. Fifteen students before me have vanished without a trace. And everyone keeps telling me I'm dangerous—but no one will tell me why.

When my abilities explode during a fight, I'm forced into private training with a mysterious investigator who looks at me like I'm prey.

Or maybe like I'm something else entirely.

My mother kept me hidden for eighteen years. Now I'm uncovering the truth she died protecting.

Because in a world where bonds are power and being different means being hunted, some secrets are buried for a reason.

It's AI but not a bad story

I liked the different setting and non traditional spin on were people. The AI is flat ofcourse but not the worst I have heard. The main FMC wasn't annoying and the MMCs were likeable.

AI, Virtual voice, cliffhanger

This was included with the plus program. I downloaded it not looking to see if it was a real narrator or not. I will say the virtual voice was better than most BUT it is still lacking in emotion. This makes the intimate sceens more funny than romantic.

Now for the story itself. The concept was good. The actual story itself was lacking something. As you read there is information mentioned that was to happen earlier in the story but it was not written earlier. Almost as if it was an idea later in the writing and not added, or it was edited out and the later part was not removed. Finally it ended on a cliffhanger and I am unable to find a second book. I do not enjoy books with cliffhangers.

An AI voice that didn't grate my nerves.

The story is lovely.
There's a bit of mystery and tension with an interesting spin on supernatural dynamics.
All in all I really loved it and can't wait for the next book.
The AI is really decent, not entirely flat.

The AI 🤢

The AI was awful - it was so bad it was distracting. Needless to say DNF

Great story

The AI really pulled me out of the story at times when the inflection of the dialog didn’t fit the context.
