Scythe Grove Academy Laura Greenwood

Syxe has seen ghosts her entire life, but it's only when she learns she's a reaper that it all starts to make sense.

Most students at Scythe Grove Academy are worrying about their studies, not the cults they grew up in, but for Syxe, that's her reality. With her past a mystery and her powers as a reaper completely undeveloped, there's lots for Syxe still to learn. 

If you like heroines who can talk to ghosts, university-age paranormal academy settings, slow-burn friends-to-lovers, and coming-of-age plots, then start the Scythe Grove Academy series today.

Scythe Grove Academy includes Shadow Seer, Shadow Prophet, and Shadow Oracle.


Diving into Shadow Seer was a real treat. I got to experience a new world together with the main character, Syxe, and was blown away with all the interesting twists on reapers. It's got everything I love, starting with a hidden supernatural academy, sorting into houses, and a mysterious cult. The characters are well-developed and as always, the world-building is top notch. The whole story is really immersive and I wish it was real so I could swing a scythe of my own around. Can't wait to read the next book, which is what I'm going to do right now. Highly recommend. Arizona Tape, USA Today Bestselling Author
I dove straight into Shadow Prophet after finishing the first book. We're back at Scythe Grove Academy with novice reaper, Syxe. We get more interesting lore about how to help the ghosts and a disturbing discovery about her past and the cult. It felt like I read this book in one breath, the tension and pacing were perfect and the ending just left me wanting more. Am I too invested in this journey? Maybe. When am I getting my own scythe? - Arizona Tape, USA Today Bestselling Author
Shadow Oracle is the finale to Syxe's tense journey to escape from the Shadow Association's grip, but the cult isn't letting her go so easily. Our heroine has to strike a delicate balance in living her life and exploring her newfound reaper abilities while trying to help the Supernatural Retrieval Agency. There are a lot of sweet, beautiful moments for Syxe, considering a cult is after her, and it's great to learn more about how they got her in the first place. A wonderful and tense conclusion to a fantastic series with a resilient heroine. One of my favourites from Laura Greenwood! - Arizona Tape, USA Today Bestselling Author

Grove Captain (prequel)

A competition to become Grove Captain brings Juliet closer to her rival.

Juliet has five days to get as many reaper bounty points as possible if she wants to become Sakura Grove's Captain. 

When Juliet and Tobias find a ghost with unfinished business on the moors, they know it's their duty to help him, even if it means losing the competition. 

Can they find a way to save the ghost and become Grove Captains?


Grove Captain is a prequel to Scythe Grove Academy, an urban fantasy paranormal academy series featuring reapers, competitive school houses, and a sweet m/f romantic subplot.

If you like heroines who can talk to ghosts, university-age paranormal academy settings, slow-burn friends-to-lovers, and coming-of-age plots, then start the Scythe Grove Academy series today with Shadow Seer.
