Supernatural Institute #2
Born By Moonlight
Avery
The job I've dreamed of at the Supernatural Ambassador Institute awaits me...if I can stay alive long enough to claim it.
An unknown darkness is slithering through my veins, poisoning me with its deadly venom. Still, I’m determined to fight—to claw my way on shredded nails to survive.
I can see Wyatt’s desperation to help. Most likely it’s out of guilt for rejecting me as his mate. But I can't risk trusting him again. Now, more than ever, I have to be strong.
Wyatt
I refuse to let Avery die, even if her withering glances threaten to burn me to ash. I tried to fight fate, but now I'm at its mercy.
Still, I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my mate. Teeth bared, I will battle my way back to her side, even if she resists me every chance she gets.
But little does either of us know, a prophecy is in the works, and Avery is the catalyst to it all.
Will she allow me to stand at her side and face what's to come? Or will her isolated cries haunt me forever in the silvery moonlight?

As stated in book 1 review...I let a bit too much time pass between this read and my review so it will be brief.
Continues to be a flawless move in the storyline. There is a dark side that popped up at the end. Loved it and hated it (in a good way). Secondary characters are great! Always makes for a better read for me when this aspect is strong.
Excited for book 3!
Happy reading,
DD 🥂

This felt like a filler because nothing was actually resolved. It also ended with my favorite trope of all time *sarcasm*. I hope it gets resolved quickly because I have very little patience for that trope. There have been exceptions but those are few and far between. Here's hoping the next book is better ♡

"I would die for you," I whispered to her softly before kissing her on the cheek. "And I will do anything to save you."
5 stars!
This series continues to blow my mind. I cannot express how much I am obsessed with Avery and Wyatt's story as Krista Street continues to pull me in with her easy writing, captivating characters and twisty plotlines. Throughout reading, I couldn't help but draw similarities to angsty Edward from New Moon--which is arguably my favorite Edward--and it just made me love Wyatt and Avery even more. Their chemistry and pining was so palpable, and I loved following them along while trying to figure out how to keep Avery's life force from depleting. I'm so stoked to see where the prophecy will lead Avery and Wyatt as they struggle to keep each other close♡
Tropes: fated mates, forbidden love, alpha j/p hero, special snowflake heroine, hidden prophecy, cloaked villains, rejected mate, secret pining, magical world, cliffhanger ending (part of a series)
My Wyatt, the werewolf hell-bent on protecting his mate from everything...including himself...

En menudo suspenso se ha quedado!!!
¿Qué ha pasado? ¿Qué significa esa profecía y por qué le afecta a Avery?
Menos mal que no tengo que esperar para leer el siguiente libro!!

I hate the memory loss trope; especially when used only to drive a wedge between the MMC & FMC because I already know that’ll be the only reason for it in book 3.

He still isn’t fighting for her… ugh and his excuse is LAME
Jesus Martha!
She’s literally DYING in front of you and you’re still thinking how you’ll have to reject her if she lives?
I did appreciate his tears.

Definitely a step down from book 1.
Mostly because the characters are stupid.
Reading Wyatt's thoughts for the majority of this book was almost unbearable.
Longing, longing, longing
Excuse as to why he can't be upfront and honest about his feelings for Avery
Being miserable that she's being cold and distant, even though he knows if he told her everything it'd fix shit
Longing, longing, longing
Gross.
Boy's had MILLIONS of opportunities to come clean and instead he forced BOTH of them to suffer, even knowing Avery's health is deteriorating and she could die at any point. Instead of desperately trying to fix shit and be with his mate for as long as he had her, he kept CRUCIAL information to himself for like half the book.
Now yes, eventually he DOES come clean. And if I were expecting anything other than "oh wow okay that makes so much sense" from Avery, I'd have been disappointed. Because that's exactly what happens. I just rolled my eyes.
I don't want a partner who withholds stuff from me. Even if it's "for my own good." ESPECIALLY if it's for my own good. If you love me - TRULY love me - I'm going to be the first place you go when shit needs explaining. We're going to figure stuff out TOGETHER like the PARTNERS we are.
In this book, It's Wyatt that does 90% of the searching for answers, and only maybe 5% is telling her what he's found. Avery's either consumed with her test or being half-dead.
I know why these books do this.
They believe the longing and miscommunication builds tension. The angst is a driving force for plowing through the story.
Maybe for some people this sort of thing really works.
But it just pisses me off.
Not because there's angst - angst is fine in the right circumstances.
But to have the whole thing hinge on the fact that these two people just don't tell each other shit?
No thanks.
I ended up skimming most of their scenes together for the first half. I couldn't do it. The longer he went without talking to her and spelling things out, the less I cared about him as a love interest.
I can't even be mad about Avery's repetitive, irritating monologuing about how she still feels stuff for Wyatt but she definitely can't trust even his smallest statements or actions because he shattered her heart forever. 🙄🙄
Even if the way she acts like she can't trust a single word out of his mouth is fucking stupid. He's still her commander - he's not trying to get her KILLED.
Girl shut up about him being a this or a that - he just rejected your vagina. He's still responsible for your stupid ass. He still cares about your well-being. He still doesn't want you to DIE. Jesus Tapdancing Christ.
Okay, maybe I CAN be mad at her, aha.
Other things irritated too -
Like, given how completely dire Avery's situation is - she's LITERALLY being slowly killed by the meteor's magic - they STILL force her to train and go through these rigorous tests to see if she can graduate.
Really? Are we certain that's a great idea? Wouldn't that time be better used researching her condition?
And even when her magic completely fails her - she's STILL forced to test.
And she fails. Obviously. Because she's DYING.
What kind of institute is this?!
Also, the diminishing of Avery's life force seems completely random and is hostage to the plot's whims. She goes from 50% to 30% in HOURS the morning of her test. But then she languishes DAYS slowly getting weaker while she's in Bulgaria.
And - wait for it - you're gonna love this! The sex. What a time to decide you wanna screw each other - when homegirl's on her friggin' deathbed. So hot. So sexy. I love it when a man has to keep asking if a woman is ALIVE while he's going down on her.
And it's such a LONG detailed scene too. The whole time he's fucking her he's going "Avery, stay with me!" and it just sounds like "I really hope I'm not fucking a corpse right now!" and she's having to tell him "Yes, I'm still here."
What a weird ass sex scene, man.
Why on earth do author's do this? Avery's barely conscious. She can barely move. Had to be carried around the library all day long. She's cold and shivering and barely breathing and her heart's barely beating. And NOW is the best time to be dicking her down? Are we sure?
Finally: What was that ending?
Probably the most interesting part of the whole book, honestly -but the amnesia thing comes out of nowhere.
I need to know more about this ancient prophecy stuff. We barely got any look into what it could mean and where it came from in this story - and considering they spend the last third literally in a library that's almost impressive.
Regardless of how dumb I think the characters are, the plot still has me interested. And these are proving to be pretty easy books to get through.
I really hate an amnesia trope though - so book 3 could go either way for me.

3.5/5 It’s like a typical cliché story that has me cringing and frustrated but lowkey still intrigued.
“Over the past weeks, he’d pushed me away so I could pursue my dream at the Institute and not be encumbered by a long-distance relationship, but he’d intended to find me again after he upheld the commitment that kept him here at the SF.And even though he’d lied to me—which was a super shitty thing to do—I was kind of starting to understand his reasoning.”
I still think the no communication trope is stupid but I do kind of get it.
Although if that wasn’t alrdy bad enough.. they just had to end with the amnesia trope. I REALLY hate that.

Erm...I read the book quicker than I thought (oops). The book definitely had more story than the first part, which is understandable because you have to get to know the characters first. I was definitely gripped by what happened to Avery and whether there would be a solution or what would happen to her. Wyatt and Avery finally found each other again, only to be torn apart by a prophecy. I'm looking forward to reading the third book and I already know that I'm going to devour the book.

Yay
This is a fun series with a supernatural academy of sorts. The main character is determined and independent, making some solid friends along the way.

This definitely should have been combined with book one. This has potential but it is just so basic and two separate books with nearly no action is just dumb.

Felt super fluffed up to finally get to the punchline in the last chapter. The first and second books should’ve been edited further and combined…
The writing is too verbose, skipped major unnecessary sections. Might not finish the series.

Wow I wasn’t sure the sequel could better the first book but I was wrong, this book was a great addition to the first.
The book picks up directly after book 1 ends. We see Avery and her struggles to come to terms with, and live with the harsh reality the comet has made her live. Her character development is great. She has shown that even though her sickness from the comet is affecting her magic/life forces, she still decides she wants to complete her training. Her training doesn’t go well as she loses every bit of her magic right before her last test, and drastically fails even though I was rooting for her to win. I was disappointed that the judges didn’t give her any leeway due to her circumstances. She was literally a human fighting supernatural beings at this point and she fought she hard at the end and I think she pass.
We learned that time in the Fae lands moves differently to time on earth. Wyatt spends 1 month there In Fae time which is 10 days In earth time trying to figure out a cure to stop Avery from dying.
Wyatt shows a great amount of growth and maturity after he returns from the Fae lands with no help. He explains his reasoning behind his rejection to Avery. She is mature enough to understand his reasons and accept his apology. She then decides she will help find more information about the comet and joins Wyatt in Bulgaria in the famous library that Nicolas works at to find answers before it is too late.
Avery’s life Force is draining fast but the gargoyle helpers have found scripts deciphering a prophecy made 2000 years ago in Fae land time. Avery meets her parents to say her goodbyes because she doesn’t think she will make it. During this the boys work out part of the prophecy. Avery gets even worse and they figure taking her back to the Fae lands will help her. She is basically unconscious at this point and things get worse during the celestial event that they are hoping will save her.
An even greater cliffhanger is at the end of this book and I can’t wait for book 3 because damn the author has made me so invested in the story I cannot wait to figure out how they will stop the prophecy and get Avery back to her old self. I can’t wait to see Wyatt and Nicolas working together (and possibly even her parents too because they are part of the prophecy).
This series has been very different and I am excited for book 3, I just hope it is as good as this one.

Spoilers ahead…
I liked this book a little better than the first.
Avery is losing her magic and her “life force” due to the comet experienced in the Fae Realm. It is happening so rapidly many at the SF are researching magical libraries to determine if there is a way to reverse it. Wyatt, Avery’s squad commander, rushes to the libraries in the fae realm with no leads. Meanwhile, Avery decides to compete in her ambassador trials as the healers do not believe it will hasten the leaking of her powers. Unfortunately, she loses all her magic by the time of her trials and fails the three tests. Wyatt tries to comfort her and spills the beans on the feelings he has been harboring and why he has not pursued their relationship. Avery forgives him and decides to travel with him to the Bulgaria libraries for a last ditch effort to find something that will save her.
Once they are in Bulgaria they meet up with the vampire Nicolas who we have met in the first book. Avery gets some rest, has strange dreams and gets some comfort from the healing witch Hannah. While in Bulgaria sharing a room, Avery and Wyatt give in to their desires and we experience some “spice”. Wyatt formalizes making Avery his official mate. Nicolas and Wyatt learn of a celestial event in the fae lands that might cure Avery as well as a prophecy that seems to be about her. They rush Avery to the fae realm only to watch her die in front of them. She has some type of magical out of the body experience and comes back to life to Wyatt’s relief. Unfortunately, Avery does not remember anything-herself, Wyatt or Nicolas- and creates a force field around her to protect herself from Wyatt. Clearly she has obtained some form of exceptional power through the whole ordeal and we are left with another cliffhanger.
I’m not sure anything changed between the two books as far as the world building, but perhaps I was more invested, at least, in Wyatt and Avery’s ongoing relationship which made the novel more palatable. On to Hunted by Firelight…

I liked this book a little better than the first.
Avery is losing her magic and her “life force” due to the comet experienced in the Fae Realm. It is happening so rapidly many at the SF are researching magical libraries to determine if there is a way to reverse it. Wyatt, Avery’s squad commander, rushes to the libraries in the fae realm with no leads. Meanwhile, Avery decides to compete in her ambassador trials as the healers do not believe it will hasten the leaking of her powers. Unfortunately, she loses all her magic by the time of her trials and fails the three tests. Wyatt tries to comfort her and spills the beans on the feelings he has been harboring and why he has not pursued their relationship. Avery forgives him and decides to travel with him to the Bulgaria libraries for a last ditch effort to find something that will save her.
Once they are in Bulgaria they meet up with the vampire Nicolas who we have met in the first book. Avery gets some rest, has strange dreams and gets some comfort from the healing witch Hannah. While in Bulgaria sharing a room, Avery and Wyatt give in to their desires and we experience some “spice”. Wyatt formalizes making Avery his official mate. Nicolas and Wyatt learn of a celestial event in the fae lands that might cure Avery as well as a prophecy that seems to be about her. They rush Avery to the fae realm only to watch her die in front of them. She has some type of magical out of the body experience and comes back to life to Wyatt’s relief. Unfortunately, Avery does not remember anything-herself, Wyatt or Nicolas- and creates a force field around her to protect herself from Wyatt. Clearly she has obtained some form of exceptional power through the whole ordeal and we are left with another cliffhanger.

Good lord I am EATING these books up!!! With how this series is going I’m going to end up reading every book this woman has ever written! I’m almost mad these books aren’t longer honestly but luckily I can sprint into the next one!! This is my first werewolf series really and I’m LOVING it. Of course there is way more than just werewolves in these books which make it even more interesting. The first book was more of an introduction into the world the author was writing and a journey through the main characters story! This book begins a darker story of what the hell is happening with the FMC Avery! I’m so interested in knowing what is going on with her and why it happened to her specifically. The writing of the author makes it so easy to keep up with the world building and deeper plot of the story! Some books I get lost within all the world building but this author has made it so easy to keep up with also not like keeping it simple! I cannot stop with this series and will honestly be gutted once I finish it!!
WYATTTTT the MMC is everything. I love a book where the male is so obsessed and falling way harder than the FMC! I’ve said this a lot about so many books I read this year but these authors are giving with the MMC’s!!! Like this man is top tier honestly! I can’t wait to see how he makes Avery fall in love with him all over again in the third after what happened at the end of the second! The whole werewolf mate thing is just EVERYTHING! So here I go onto the third! I don’t want Wyatt’s and Avery’s story to end! Let’s dive into the third!!

Just as captivating for me as the first one. The only part I didn't like was it repeated some things which I mean I guess would've come in handy had I read these as they came out rather than waiting till the entire series. But because I am reading them one after another the repeat of information was irritating.
I guess I don't like it due to the fact that in some of the bigger popular books they don't remind you or repeat what you've already read other than just the first chapter. But all that said it's still IMO a 4 star book. I am really enjoying this series and blowing through the books.
I am obsessed with Wyatt and Avery. And the twist/ cliffhanger at the end of this one?! So good. To the point I immediately downloaded book 3 lol! This was done well. The scene where Wyatt bears it all was gut wrenching. The feelings of Avery and everything she's going through, down right brutal. No tears have been shed though.
I will say I wouldn't necessarily call this an academia troupe as so far the academic setting is really just living and her work outs, more than I feel anything else. It's based at the SF but that's really just the background. But as far as mates and werewolves, vampires gargoyles (though definitely not the sexy kind), fae.. ugh a world immersed in supernatural.
The author does a good enough job world building with not going overboard with descriptions.. I really dislike when authors go too into detail, but that's just personal preference for me.
Anyways yall should give this series a chance it really took me by surprise!!

I didn’t know how this sequel could possibly live up to the greatness of the first installment, but it did. The book picked up right where the second left off. Street has the perfect balance of giving just enough background in case it’s been a while since you read the first book, while not rehashing too much that you already know. I was a little bit nervous that this book would have long periods of separation between the main characters due to Wyatt’s quests to find information, but this was not the case. Wyatt and Avery had plenty of interactions, and they were interesting, passionate, and emotional. Wyatt really learned from his mistakes in the first novel, and he was an even more perfect alpha hero in this book.
The secondary characters were great as well, and I enjoyed the touch of jealousy Nicholas adds to the story without making it a love triangle. The plot was exciting and suspenseful with no slow or dull moments. The cliffhanger was even more shocking than the previous one, and I’m anxiously waiting to see what happens next. I’m also curious to see if there will be any spinoff books based on some of the secondary characters because they have such distinct personalities and subplots of their own.
Overall, this was a fascinating paranormal romance, and it receives my highest recommendations. Street just keeps getting better, and I can’t wait to see what she does next!
*I received an ARC of this novel. This is my complete and honest review.*

Although I’ve barely started this I want to note how offensive I find Wyatt referring to Avery as his mate at this point in the story. Book one made it clear why he “rejected” her but she doesn’t know that (although she should be able to figure it out if she had the brains of a peanut) Also, doesn’t she get to decide whether she wants him as a mate or not? I realize there is a magical pull which seems to supersede any rational considerations but she still should be able to make a choice. What if he’s hurt her so badly that her emotional pain rejects him for all time? Let’s hope she’s not too malleable by supernatural influences, although her reaction to the comet more or less negates that wish.
The book overall is what I would call a place holder. Not much happens as it concentrates on Avery’s deteriorating health caused by the comet. Wyatt finally confesses the truth regarding his actions which would have been so much more logical if he’d just done it at the beginning. So much drama for nothing. We finally discover what his commitment to the Institute is all about.
Wyatt and Avery take one last stab at finding out if there is a cure for her condition by visiting the extensive magical library in Bulgaria. Nicholas, the vampire who had attempted to seduce Avery in the first book, is their contact much to Wyatt’s displeasure. Avery’s condition rapidly worsens. On to book 3.
