Bloodstone Academy
Jade Eadwald is a peculiar teenager, living with neglectful, multi-billionaire parents who hoard a load of shady secrets, and a dark past they would do anything to keep their only daughter from finding out.
The Eadwald's move from house to house every year, constantly attempting to leave their past behind. But this fall, they have decided to move back to London, where it all began, for reasons unknown, and Jade is in for a school term she might not survive through.
Jade is set to join a school called 'Bloodstone Academy' for the fall term, and unknown to her, behind the ancient stone-walls of the castle, lies a whole new, dark and dangerous world she will inevitably come to be a part of.
'The Vampires of Ruin' have come to reside within the walls of Bloodstone Academy, and they seem to be on the hunt for something, or rather, someone important.
The Blood Prophecy that was once told a hundred years ago has been retold by another witch from the Almathea coven, and vampires all over the world have grown agitated. Tension that's been building up for a century is at its peak, and The Vampires of Ruin are relentless in their search for the one the Prophecy speaks of.
Until Jade walks into the hallways of Bloodstone Academy on an early September autumn morning, with a cold, indifferent expression on her stunning face.
Wild-haired, dark-skinned with a mysterious, radiant beauty that makes the world swoon, Jade quickly catches the attention of everyone in Bloodstone Academy. But especially that of two vampires; Vasilis Wang and Roman Augustus.
Suddenly finding herself trapped in the webs of a dangerous love triangle, Jade realizes the boys she's falling for are not human, and her new school is no regular high-school either.
Something bigger than all of them, and the affections they've come to harbor for one another is brewing just beneath the surface of their collective consciousness, and Jade seems to be the sole catalyst to a disastrous event that will come to threaten the existence of all Vampires.
Bloody, dark secrets are suddenly being dug out of graves and tombstones, and the Eadwalds' family secrets seem to be right in the mix, too.
Will Jade survive being in the center of so much turmoil and destruction? Or will her heart be able to bear loving two immortals she might end up having to destroy?

Hello! Author here! We’re almost at 20 chapters and I figured I‘d share a few words before we progress further. So, I understand that a few of the beginning chapters, aside from the prologue, might feel a bit draggy and slow and that might discourage some readers. But I promise, those chapters are absolutely important, or I would not put them in. They’re necessary for a better understanding of the plot and I implore you to please, not be discouraged. The plot picks up pace soon after chapter 3, and if you truly liked the first chapter, then I promise the rest of the book will not disappoint you. So stick around and revel in the beauty of this dark, dangerous fictional world with me! Thank you! With love always, -Aleeyah<3
A second review because I’ve read more chapters of this book and it’s so deserving!!! Okay so, after the prologue, the first 4-ish chapters are not as action-packed and seem kinda slow, but it picks up almost immediately after and I realize that those chapters were kinda important to create a base knowledge/familiarity with the fmc, Jade, and the dynamics of her life and her complicated relationship with her parents. The story progresses greatly after that and I just NEED more chapters like immediately!!!!!!!
I’m super duper excited for this! Story progression is nice from the opening and I’m hoping the plot will pick up pace in the next couple of chapters! Good job!
Good to see a Nigerian author here, good luck
This book is really different. The complexities of the main characters relationship is intriguing. I was quite drawn to some of the characters and I like how I feel about them. I would recommend this book to anyone anytime any day. The fact the story has super natural beings really makes me want it to become a movie 😊. My imagination about this book is at it's best, feels like I'm in the book. Keep it up 👍🏾
This is an early review.First of all, I don't think I ever read something with the similiar setting. Although it reminded me with Harry Potter a little bit.The story is interesting, there are quite a bit sus character as I read the story because I don't trust anybody in this unfamiliar place.I could relate with the protagonist circumtances because I had similiar experience. It's tiring and the way author picture the emotion is on point.There are many things for development in this book. Since I haven't read until the latest chapter, I wonder if there are some bloody scene or killing🤭It give me Danganronpa vibes with the academy. Well but I guess it is not like that.Im excited to dive deeper inside the story.
This is so underrated more people need to see this novel easy 10/10 great read love Jade character. keep up the great work author and keep updating :)
The story progression is nice. The characters got life and color looking forward for your work. Needs more stable updates tho! Good luck author!
The story is quite intriguing and starts off strong. The characters' personalities are well-crafted, to the point where I felt genuine hatred towards Soren. You have an intense and exciting writing style. The dialogues are vivid and full of emotion, making it an enjoyable novel.
Eiii. I'm finding it so difficult to set this book down! Love love the characters and the tension around them. I can't wait to read more till my eyes fall out of their sockets. Great job, Author!
I just started this novel and I'm drawn to it like those bloodsuckers in the book.. like idk where to begin it's reminds me a bit Wednesday cus of d relationship between J and Brit, then reminds me of twilight cus of the love triangle between the casts then a little bit of blade cus of he was said to be d one to defeat Dracula .... like I feel the emotions, the intensity, the suspense it's so amazingReally wish they were real or your story could magically appear on a TV screen as a movie. But I'm a big fan of blood so I like the plot it's so originalPS: I don't do love triangles cus of their complexities but this is an exception also wish I was in d book. If it were to be a movie I would audition immediately.
This is my first time reading a story with a female pov and I can say that it's interesting enough for me to read all the way to 16 chapters without stopping. I'm alrrady hooked to the stoy and can't wait to read more. I like the mystery and dark vibes surrounding the world and plot. This is really a good read. Keep writing author!
This should be a movie and not a book, cause I want to feel every single emotion alongside the characters.
From the chapters I have read I have enjoyed the story so far. The pace is good and the description of the character and the way the react to the things that happen around then sounds realistic and believable. The story is well written and is readable overall I would keep a eye on this story to see how it progress in the future
I think the plot development is captivating and intriguing enough to keep me reading. The story pacing is also smooth. It just that some parts of the story is a bit hard to understand for me. Overall, it's a good story, keep it up!
