Magic 101

Paranormal Academy, Book 1

By: Jody Morse, Jayme Morse

Narrated by: Mamie Parris

Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

Welcome to Paranormal Academy, a boarding school for the world's most elite witches, fairies, vampires, shifters, and other paranormal beings.

At the Academy, there are five rules everyone should follow:

1. Don't go out after curfew.
2. Stay away from the Vixen, the school's secret sorority.
3. Never go into the Enchanted Forest alone.
4. Professors are completely off-limits.
5. Don't get involved with dark magic users.

Well, rules are meant to be broken.

Juliana Montgomery quickly finds herself breaking every rule in the book, but that's the least of her worries. She never expected to receive an invitation to Paranormal Academy because she's pretty sure there's nothing magical about her. But it turns out she's wrong. No one knows what her paranormal race is, but Juliana comes from a paranormal bloodline so powerful that everyone at the Academy is talking about her.

The Academy is also filled with gorgeous guys. There's Brett Summers, whose girlfriend is convinced Juliana wants him. (And, okay, maybe she's right.) Then there's Kaden, the guy who makes Juliana's heart beat faster, even though he's carrying a deep, dark secret that she's dying to find out. And last, but certainly not least, there's her Elemental Magic professor, Avery Tate. Sparks--literally--fly between them.

Then there are the murders that have been taking place on campus, which seem to be more frequent since Juliana's arrival. Is it a coincidence, or is she somehow linked to these deaths?

Juliana's anxious to learn the truth about what she is. Someone else already knows. Someone who's planning to use it against her. Someone who's a lot closer than she thinks.

This is book 1 in a young adult paranormal academy romance series. This is NOT a reverse harem series.

Thoroughly enjoyed! Time for book 2!

I love a good cliffhanger! The series seems fun! This ian't the first series by the authors I have read and I can't wait to continue on!

My First Audio Book

Disclaimer I got this book in exchange for an honest review.
Overall 4 Stars: All in all there are small improvement that could have been made
Perfornace 4 Stars: The performance of the narrator could use a little more work on expressing the emotions and the story line its self would use some work to make the performance better
Story 3 Storys: It is a good start to a story but does leave you questioning some things here and there before the book ends making it some what confusing.

May Contain Spoilers so with being said I hope this helps those looking for a good audio book.

First off...I have been a HUGE fan of Jody & Jayme for a long time. Overall the book is amazing. I got so lost in listening to the story that I would forget what I was doing around the house. The narrator did a really good job at trying to read the story and convey each character's emotions and feelings within the first book. It started off at a nice steady pace though I do believe some things were a little rushed. I understand it's a paranormal book but a little more interaction and events between the main characters would have helped the story out a little more. For example, between Juliana and the professor would have been nice to have seen some more classes or random bumps into each other before that first kiss. As for the witch/warlock, I love the struggle of...'Is he good', 'Is he bad' she has going between them is great. Lastly, the werewolf and not knowing are they fated or not. I know the story is about Juliana but hearing more of his inner thoughts and struggle would have been nice and see more of a push and pull attraction would have help with their story in this book. I was upset the book ended (lol all good books ending are upsetting before you get to the 2nd one) but I look forward to checking out the next book to see how the story and time line play out with this, though..... I can't call it a triangle so love square? lol

Great starter book for audible

Enjoyed my first audible book immensely I recommend this for all teens to adults the storytelling was superb and Mrs Parris. She kept me entertained throughout the book. can’t wait for second book to continue with the story

Wrong category

Sorry but this should be listed in adult romance, not YA. Call me old fashioned but sex scenes like these should not be in YA. I get it, teens are interested in sex, experimenting, yeah yeah. I get it. But do we really need it shoved in our faces?

Nope.

The rest of series (last book) ruins every book before it. Any writer that throws away a legit soul mate needs to rethink things.
