Voodoo Academy

Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy, Book 1

By: Theophilus Monroe

Narrated by: Sydney Fry

Being possessed has its advantages…

Annabelle Mulledy survived a voodoo attack on her family as a child — but it left her possessed by the spirit of a nearly 200-year-old girl. This girl, however, came with strange abilities bestowed upon her in the afterlife. When Kalfu, an evil Loa, discovers Annabelle, he hopes to use her abilities to his advantage — to escape the spiritual realm and take a corporeal form. When Ogoun, the Loa of War, intervenes, he recruits Annabelle to join him as a student at the Voodoo Academy. Will Annabelle master the arts and fend off Kalfu’s spiritual assaults? Or is she ultimately a puppet in a battle between voodoo demigods?

Voodoo Academy is the first book in the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series. Theophilus Monroe’s Annabelle Mulledy is a snarky, badass heroine with attitude. Monroe draws on the legend and myth of voodoo lore in a way that neither caricatures the arts as “demonic” nor glosses over the dark side of the voodoo tradition. With dark magic, dragons, vampires, and a slow-burn academy romance, the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series has something for everybody.

If you enjoy magic academy fantasy books and occult urban fantasy, especially books with a dark twist, then you will love Theophilus Monroe’s Voodoo Academy. Fans of authors like Michael Anderle, Shayne Silvers, Bella Forrest, or Linsey Hall will love this compelling coming-of-age urban fantasy. Pick up your copy today!

Super fun book definitely a coming of age story!

I love this series I have both read and nke listened in audio. I honestly loved both but the narrator definitely bring the stiry to life and adds a quirky entertaining aspect to the overall story-line. This book is full of snarky characters that learn to face their inner fears and pull together as a team to fight the baddies. It's geared towards YA readers but honest I truly enjoyed it. Butvi always love all of Theo's books. I also really love the voodoo aspect and the exploration of that. If you get a chance to do the audio version I highly recommend it. Loved the narrator shecdid sn excellent job!

Tightly woven & well-written read/listen

Voodoo Academy (Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy #1), my second read from author Theophilus Monroe . Well written & enjoyable short read. Next up Grim Tidings (Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy #2). I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Sydney Fry's "Valley Girlish" narration adds greatly to the enjoyment of the book.(RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Voodoo Academy

loved how this book was absolutely brought to life ... truly cannot wait for more!

snarky heroine

A good story full of excitement, danger, and a lot of snark. My only true complaint in listening was that the narrator seemed to end her sentences with a lilt; turning them into a question.

One amazing story

The narrator really does a fantastic job with bringing this around and it was so much fun to listen to
