Cover Reveal! Fortune Academy Underworld Book 4 (Part II)
Fortune Academy: Book Four is officially up for pre-order!
I usually keep my series to 3 books, but I’ve been planning an expansion for Lily’s story for a while now. I’m glad, because even after writing 65,000 words for book 3, I didn’t feel anywhere close to wrapping up this series and Lily and her Virtues definitely need more books. So fortunately, or unfortunately if you hate cliffies, there’s more on the way! Although Fortune Academy: Year Three doesn’t have a terrible cliffhanger this time, I promise lol.
Welcome to Fortune Academy Underworld, a place where supernaturals can feel at home.
And now I know exactly what the hell I am.
I’m a tribrid. Part succubus, part Demonspawn, and part angel. I earned my wings when I made the ultimate sacrifice for my mates by dying for them. Now I’m reborn as the Princess of Hell.
Too bad that doesn’t exempt me from my classes.
Fortune Academy has changed. When the gates of Hell opened up, it merged with its counterpart and became something new. We’re building an army to fight Lucifer, but all the supernaturals flooding through the iron gates are lost, confused, and in desperate need of training.
Including the mass of fallen angels that followed me from Purgatory.
As if I didn’t have enough on my plate, one of the hottie winged males claims to be my new Virtue. His complete and utter devotion is a hard contrast to the mates I’ve come across so far and I wonder if it’s too good to be true.
I’m pretty sure I hit my head when I fell from Heaven, because I think I’m starting to enjoy school.
Fortune Academy Underworld is Book 4 in a NA paranormal academy romance series with fated mates where there’s no choosing required. As this is a series, there will be a cliffhanger. *As with all J.R. Thorn pre-orders, due to her 8-month-old baby making deadlines challenging, the release date displayed on Amazon is a placeholder and official release date announcements will be made in the newsletter!*

Burn in Hell: Episode 1 Teaser
If I don’t find an outlet for this rage, I’m going to lose my shit.
Lily is off limits. Ever since we got back to Fortune Academy it’s been too dangerous to get anywhere near her. For her sake, I keep my distance.
The rage demon that’s corrupted our mate-circle has gotten under my skin… and he knows it.

– Dante –
“Are you feeling sorry for yourself again?” a male voice teased, filtering into the room as the Dark Mage walked right past my wards.
“Go away, Hendrik,” I growled.
Hendrik stepped out of the shadows as he peeled off his coat. “I could use another session,” he said, grinning as he gave the offer to spar a double-meaning.
“Last time was a mistake,” I snapped as I went back to the vampire stake I was working on. I sliced my dagger over the tip, sending a tendril of wood falling to the ground. “We’re just being influenced by the demon.”
“I kind of like it,” he admitted as he ran his fingers over the weapons on the wall. He glanced at me when he picked a short fighting stick. “Do you think you can beat me this time?”
A grin spread across my face as the thrill of violence surged through me. I took on his taunt, wasting no time with my attack, but the Dark Mage was ready for me and shoved me hard enough against the wall to snap a rib. I released a breath and went still, letting the bone knit back into one piece.
“Do you feel it?” he asked, his breath hot on my cheek.
“I… don’t know what you’re talking about,” I lied. My strength had its limits and the Dark Mage knew it. I needed time to regenerate, or magic. Neither of which I had access to right now.
He continued to wear me out, forcing me to strain against him to catch tiny gulps of air to stay conscious.
“Concede, or I won’t be able to stop,” he warned.
The dark edge of his voice said he needed one of two things right now to take off the demon’s edge.
Murder… or sex, and I had a feeling I knew which one he wanted from me.

Royal Fae are Coming…
Hey guys! I hope you’re enjoying the Blood Stone Series! I just finished Vampire Sins (Book 3) last week and have been jumping into Royal Covens right away. I’m looking forward to February though, because that’s when Lexi and I start working on our co-write project!

Their Royal’s Selection is a royal fae reverse harem story and book 1 in a planned trilogy! Lexi and I work well together so we’re both really excited about this series! I converted her to the dark side (RH) and I couldn’t be happier! *Cackles*
Anyway… so far we have some bare bones of our story and we’re letting our harem men brew in our minds. (Spoiler: They’re hot, and one of hers is downright snarky.) It’ll be a multi-PoV story so you’ll get to see what the guys are thinking, which I really love.
