Review : Trickery - Book #1 Curse of the Gods - Jaymin Eve and Jane Washington - February 2017 Willa Knight has the curse of getting into trouble, though in this case, her curse may turn into a gift when she decides to change her grades to be able to graduate. The thing is though that by giving herself one of the highest grades, she has found herself in the position of heading to The Academy along with her best friend. Luckily her best friend knows everything that there is about the academy and has managed to school Willa on the important things. Though her bad luck is about to continue as when they get to the school, she has been mistaken as a boy and assigned to the dorms of the Abcurse Brothers and there is five of them and as the law dictates she must serve their every need. This would have been easier if she wasn't so clumsy and stubborn. I have to admit though that this was one of the reasons I loved the character of Willa was that she was a regul...

Review: The Other Side of Envy - The Academy #8 - C.L Stone

Review: The Other Side of Envy - Book #8 The Academy - Ghost Bird Series - C.L Stone - April 2015 When it comes to The Academy books, I am always forever in two minds. Part of me loves them and the characters in the books, but the other half of me gets so frustrated with them at the same time. So much that I want to scream and tell them all to talk or at least grow up. The Other Side of Envy was one of the most frustrating ones that I have read so far in The Academy series as it was like seriously Sang, stop playing games and set the boys including Mr. Blackbourne and Dr. Green and simply tell them all at the same time what you want. Use your words, tell them I Love You all and want to be all of your girlfriends and seriously if you love me too, then get over your freaking jealousy and be with me. In this book, Gabriel annoyed me as his jealousy was radiating off the pages and Kota seriously needs to remove the stick as he is so damn uptight. It...

Review: House of Korba - C.L Stone

Review: House of Korba - Book #7 The Academy Series - C.L Stone - October 2014 Have you ever read a series that you have a love/hate relationship with? For me, that series is The Academy by C.L Stone. It is one of those series where I can't read them all back to back as I will get all frustrated but they are also a series I find that I can't put down though sometimes I want too. House of Korba is Book #7 and gives us readers a further look into the Korba family which for those who are unaware is Silas's family. We learn how he came to be in the Academy and what favors were pulled to get his family away from Greece. Like many families, the Korba's have a few skeletons in their closets, and if they aren't careful, it looks like one major one will be exposed to the world. Sang is still bouncing between the boys and though looks like Silas is not afraid to go for what he wants. Like all of the CL Stone The Academy books, I do like the boys but Sang ...
