Shadow Seer

Syxe has always been able to see ghosts but has never known why. 

When she encounters a pair of reapers, her entire life changes and she discovers she's a seer, a reaper who is able to talk to ghosts, and that she has a place at Scythe Grove Academy. 

With new friends to make, new powers to embrace, and the people who raised her still on her tail, she has more than enough on her plate. 

Shadow Seer is book one of Scythe Grove Academy, an urban fantasy paranormal academy series featuring a reaper who has no idea of her powers, a cult determined to get her back, and a slow burn 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.


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

Shadow Prophet

Syxe has no idea where she came from, but that's going to change.

The Shadow Association want Syxe back under their control, and she's certain that some of their control over her has to do with her parents. All she has to do, is figure out what it is. 

Between trying to discover the truth about her past, staying out of the Association's clutches, and keeping up with her reaper studies, her hands are full. But Syxe is more determined than ever to achieve everything she's set out to. 

She's going to find out who she is, no matter how long it takes.

Shadow Prophet is book two of Scythe Grove Academy, an urban fantasy paranormal academy series featuring a reaper who has no idea of her powers, a cult determined to get her back, and a slow burn 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.

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

Sxye is on a mission: to bring down the Shadow Association.

After almost losing everything to the Association that raised her, Syxe is determined to put an end to them and hold them accountable for everything they've done. 

No matter what, she's going to make it happen.
Shadow Oracle is book three of Scythe Grove Academy, an urban fantasy paranormal academy series featuring a reaper who has no idea of her powers, a cult determined to get her back, and a slow burn 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.


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

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

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