Review: Drop of Doubt - The Academy - C.L Stone
After reading Book #4 and
being a bit disappointed as the book started to frustrate me like crazy, I was
a little cautious about going into Drop of Doubt. Drop of Doubt, however, was
amazing and one of the most intense books
so far for The Ghost Bird Series. Drop of Doubt starts off with a fire alarm and
then a bomb threat. The bomb threat is left
in the room where Blackbourn and Sang
were to be and then we discover someone is stalking Sang. It looks like they
either want to get rid of her or save her,
but one thing is for absolute certain they want Sang away from the Academy
boys. From stalking "A" type texts to
photographs with threats scrawled over Drop of Doubt was suspenseful.
The other thing I loved about Drop of Doubt was that we got to see Dr. Green aka Sean in his element at the
hospital as well as affection towards Sang from Blackbourne aka Owen. We were also introduced to a new character Will who attends the same school as Sang and the boys, I wonder if he will be a bigger part of the story. One thing
that frustrated me about Drop of Doubt was the fact that everyone is keeping
their feelings still to themselves which is causing them to feel resentful and angry. It's like HELLO, tell each other what you are feeling and stop hiding or
acting like a spoilt brat. The other thing that I think would have suited this
book better was that Mr. Blackbourne talks to the group and tell them what he and
North discovered so that they can learn to work together in loving Sang rather
than hating on one another and being sullen towards one another as this puts a
damper on the story. It is also what reminds me constantly that this is a teen
/ YA book as well though is that the actions of all of the characters are still
quite naive and childish at times. It makes me want to scream to them all
"Grow Up and Grow a pair." You all love her, then work together. I am hoping that in
the next couple of books that Sang will learn to give the boys her all as I am getting
a bit annoyed to of the whole back and forth as it's always like one step
forward and two steps back with Sang.
