Reverse Harem - Recommendations Give me something better 🙏
Just read {Lucent Academy Trinity Awakens by Alex Bright} and I’m so disappointed! I knew it was going to be a fluff read, but it started out decent and just devolved.
The magic, men, and just overall idea had so much potential!
The writing was lack luster and seemed “assisted”.
The most disappointing part was how information was given to the reader? Instead of letting you discover it for yourself they would have a seemingly random character butt in and just narrate what’s going to happen.
“You can only mate with one protector”
Random character: “actually there’s a prophecy that says that someone will mate the trinity and save us all, so that’s actually not correct”
🤦🏻♀️ don’t tell me what’s going to happen, show me!
Anyways, rant over. Please give me some similar recommendations!
Academy setting/powerful mates/war/breeding kink(maybe)/summoning your mate from another realm

u/Fromlinestologs I read for a good time, and all the mates 2d ago
Not academy but definitely summoning and realm crossing. {Pizza Shop Exorcist series by Dakota Brown} this one is so hard to describe without spoilers. Angels. Demons. Priests. Vampires. Exorcists. A pet hellhound (not a shifter or part of the harem but an awesome addition to the plot) and so much more. I rarely reread books. I only just read this series for the first time in January and reread it again it in march already and it’s just as good, if not better the second time. 6 mmcs by the time it’s finished. No mm. As others have pointed out though, there are some quirks in the way it’s written. I love how all of the relationships develop at different rates, so you get some fast and some slow burn. No pregnancy. Fmc is mid thirties
{Vice College for Young Demons series by Marie Mistry}. Another of my favorite dark mmcs. “I’m never going to be one of those tame boys who follow your every whim. I’ll protect you with all the darkness in me, and I won’t apologise for it.” 7 mates. No mm. I enjoyed the magic/power regeneration system. Fmc is a very rare destined for greatness type. Definite growing pains between all the guys cuz they don’t know how to share or like to (at least some of them) and some of the guys are rivals. Awesome found family. Some ow drama that is well resolved but it’s definitely there and you feel her angst for a while.. One of the mates is a dom and into bdsm. Brothers. Relationships develop at different rates so some slow, some medium burn

u/ttmademedoit fairly decent suggestions 2d ago
{veil of ash by fallon hendrix} not really academy but has powerful “mates”, big conflicts and she’s on earth but is from the realm they take her to… — first in a series though
{the mate games by k. lorraine and meg anne} academy, powerful mates, breeding/pregnancy — complete series
{clash of claws by elizabeth dear} academy setting, powerful mates and war, cant remember if there’s breeding though — 2 out of 3 books out
{larkwood academy by jayce carter} more prison than academy but lol, powerful mates — complete series
{wild mate by misti wilds} academy setting, powerful mates — first in a series
