Review: Second Glances (Hemlock Academy Series Book 2) by Kelsey Soliz

Second Glances Second Glances by Kelsey Soliz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

More Mates

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This second book is as good as the first. It’s slightly more frenetic and is full of silliness but that makes me smile all the harder. Building on from the first book, Gabby finds more mates and they are people I had my suspicions about. However, there is quite a journey to get to the point of bonding as none of them is as instant as Balfour or Cyrus. In fact, Cyrus’ problems arise after the bonding because his past comes back to bite him in the butt.

I think one of the reasons I am enjoying this academy series is that it isn’t really much of an academy series. The academy is the starting place, where Gabby starts to come into her own and where she meets her mates, but there is very little focus on the lessons etc. In other academy books quite often the world-building is done through lessons the pupils learn, in this series, we learn more from the other members of the harem, especially Cyrus and Dar as they have 100 years of age under their belts.

I really enjoy the humour in these books. Gabby has such a sense of fun, she’s a joy to read about. Her mates are pretty hilarious too. Exhibit A: Bal’s tendency to use sports commentator voices whilst having his sex high. Exhibit B: Palmer’s punching out fake cardboard people, trust me, both are hilarious.

I love how the story has built and the harem has started to bond, not just with Gabby but with each other. It sounds like this is essential as stuff is starting to get pretty dangerous!
