Bunny's Reviews: A Study in Survival Review Spotlight

Welcome the book tour for the second installment in the Endymion College trilogy, A Study in Survival by W.H. Lockwood!

Are you ready to return to Lockwood's world? Are you ready for more drama and "adventure" with Anna and her friends? More paranormal spirits and danger that lurks seen and unseen? Then enjoy your return to Endymion, because much awaits you there.

It's a new term, so things should be better right? New friends, new work to be done, but old dangers should be well behind as they push forward with their lives. Well, it would seem that things are going to not be that easy. But, where would the fun be in that? Just when you start to relax...yeah, that's when things are going to pounce...and not in a fun, sexy way. LOL!

Anna is back at Endymion and she's been through a lot, but it would seem that the paranormal isn't done with her yet. Her or her friends, because more trouble is lurking in the shadows. However, it's not just the paranormal/supernatural this time, it would seem that a new character has come to wreck some havoc, too.

Things have both changed and stayed the same from book one. Where Eve refused to give in to temptation at first, he has embraced wholeheartedly, but it seems he will never be without his slew of female admirers. LOL! Control that jealousy, Anna.

This book is packed with a lot of drama, some romance, friendship, and of course, a nice dose of humor. These characters will keep you engaged in the story and page-turning to find out what is going to happen next. Anna and Candi seem to have a better relationship/friendship, which is good. It's nice to see some romance blooming and secrets that shouldn't be aren't.

I love the mystery of the apartment and how it continues to be the theme of the story. It really brings a nice haunting element to the story and for sure keeps the characters on their toes. This book is just as much of a page-turner as book one. If you enjoyed book one, then you are absolutely going to enjoy book two.

I know that you're going to enjoy book two more because it really sounds like the author has really hit her stride with this book as it flows better than book one. I'm really looking forward to the third book in this series. You just know that there is going to be something darker waiting for them come next time.

I'm rating this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Thank you to the author, W.H. Lockwood, and R&R Book Tours for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A Study in Survival (Endymion College #2)

Expected Publication Date: October 27th 2022

Genre: Cozy Horror Romance/ Dark Academia

She survived the spirit. She survived the demon. She survived term one.

Winter at Endymion College should mean only good things for Anna James: books, best friends, and studying Gothic Literature under the most handsome professor Anna has ever laid eyes on. Unfortunately, just as she prepares to relax and enjoy her very hard-earned place at this coveted university, an impossibly dashing stranger arrives to turn everything upside down.

Suddenly, Anna finds herself caught in a life-or-death struggle against a fiendish new supernatural assailant, and with explosive revelations and closely held secrets forced out into the open, a tragic history comes back to haunt Anna and her friends.

Knife skills and friendships will be put to the test as enemies, both human and paranormal, work to destroy everything Anna has fought to build.

Can Anna get to the bottom of her haunted apartment mystery and resist the eerily familiar charms of a gorgeous new interloper, all while trying to keep herself and her friends alive? Or will she and those she holds dearest be torn apart by a new kind of evil?

Equally as gothic, just as romantic, even more dangerous, packed full of ghost stuff and demon stuff, Endymion College 2: A Study in Survival is the inappropriately-amusing, cosy-horror sequel you’ve been waiting for. It’s time to enrol.
