  Review: Ever After - Book #1 East Raven Academy Series - Scarlett Haven - January 2017 I have been on a Scarlett Haven buzz since the end of last year and decided to make my way through her book list. I have to admit when I was reading Ever After, I found it very similar in parts to her book New Hope Academy. In Ever After, Phoenix's father has gone into politics and has just become a congressman. Her father has received threats, and Phoenix ended up kidnapped. The CIA has now been called in, and Phoenix is sent to East Raven Academy under the name Phoenix Underwood and is to stay there until the threats have stopped and the terrorists caught. At the Academy, Phoenix meets a good bunch of friends and lo and behold she becomes Miss Popularity, and all the boys are after her, this I have found is a common thread through Scarlett Haven's books. The other common thread is that the unattainable guy, the one who never dates is the one who is always intere...
