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: Push and Shove - The Academy - Book #6 The Ghost Bird Series - C.L Stone - June 2014 I have to admit, I do enjoy this series, but sometimes it gets on my nerves. It's almost like one step forward and two steps back with the characters. Just as we think something great is going to happen, it gets ruined. In Push and Shove, there is a new drug that is circling Ashley West school and the students - JH14. It is causing outbursts of rage and paranoia and hallucinations, but untraceable. Adding to this mess is that the Principal Hendricks is still following the boys and seems to have recruited a few of the school teachers and students as spies. In Push and Shove, we catch more of a glimpse of Wil, and I do wonder what his part in the book is and whether in the end he will be revealed with a more major character. Sang finally gets a kiss, and I have to admit I didn't see this person being the first, to have a proper kiss, but then again it total...

  Review: Forgiveness and Permission - The Academy - Book #4 The Ghost Bird Series - C.L Stone - October 2013 Before writing this review, I do have to admit that I have enjoyed this series to date and am enjoying it and want to see what happens but for some reason Forgiveness and Permission drove me freaking cray-cray, and I wanted to scream at this book and to be honest, I think there was a bit of shaking the Ipad as well . Parts of this one just frustrated the hell out of me. So to catch up, Sang's mother is now in the hospital, and her father has run off. We still don't know too much about Sang's birth mother. Sang and her older sister Marie are fending for themselves and trying to keep up appearances. The Academy boys have been stepping up to the plate and helping and spending more time with Sang. We also saw in this book a bit more introduction of Derrick, Micah, and Tom - the neighbors .  As the year is getting by and of course hormones are ...

  Review: First Days - The Academy - Book #2 Ghost Bird Series - C.L Stone - April 2013 This is a series I have had on my Kindle to read for years, and it's just recently after talking to a friend that I finally got around to starting it, and I love it. In Book #1 we were introduced to all the characters and introduced to the idea of a Reverse Harem. In First Days, school is starting up for Sang Sorenson and her new group of guy friends. Her friends are transfers from The Academy, and it seems that her newfound friends are making her a bullying target and making her stand-out. It also seems that somehow others in the school have the idea that Sang is also part of the group known as "The Academy." When the danger starts to hit closer to home and causes Sang to stand up for her friends, she is advised by Blackthorne and Dr. Green to take a step back from the boys as her being around them has her painted a target on her back. There is something ...
