A review by effy
Rogue Community College by David R. Slayton
3.5
Isaac Frost is one of The Undertaker’s boys, a group of unmatched trained assassins; his latest mission involves ingratiating himself into the newly-formed Rogue Community College and killing it. Things are complicated by the feelings he develops for a sea elf named Vran as well as making friends with his group of misfits classmates.
This book is set in the world of the Adam Binder novels which I really enjoyed so I was excited to get a chance to return. Isaac is such an interesting and unusual character being something called a Phage who has the ability to take on the powers of whoever’s blood he drinks. He spends a large portion of the book figuring out his place and realises that he might actually have somewhere where he belongs in Rogue Community College. He is an engaging character and it was really good to see Vran again as well as to see the romance blossom between the two.
I am intrigued to see where future books in this series go and am just so glad to be back!
