Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson.
On their 18th birthday, everyone in the world receives a Shadowbox - a magic box that is a gift like no other...because, it’s a gift from the gods. For the majority of people, there’s only a birthday message inside their Shadowbox. For a few chosen, though, there’s something more. Nobody knows what those special guys receive. What’s known is that they disappear and never come back.
Rumors say they are invited to join the gods’ army. I think it’s just a load of crap.
My name is Melany Richmond, and for my entire life, I’ve been an outcast - an orphan tossed around like a ship in a storm. I don’t think that gods really exist. I never even received my Shadowbox when I turned 18. Maybe, because nobody knows my true birth date or because not even the gods care about me. After all, I'm a blue-haired rebel and a troublemaker with tattoos all over my arms.
I’m not like Callie Demos, the beautiful blondie living in the huge estate my adopted mother takes care of. She is the perfect specimen of Greek devotion, and nobody doubts she will get “the call”. She has everything in her life and doesn’t appreciate any of it. Her birthday party is the biggest event in town, and everyone wants to be there when she receives her blessing. To me, it’s just another ridiculous parade. But when I secretly open her Shadowbox and feel its magic on my skin, all my beliefs vanish.
Gods do exist. And if the scroll in my hands says the truth, they have a secret academy where their recruits train to become demigods. I’ve done really bad things in my life but stealing Callie’s opportunity to attend the god’s academy? It’s got to be the worst. If gods find out I’m a faker, what was supposed to be someone else’s gift may turn into my personal curse.
This is a young adult urban fantasy for listeners featuring magic, adventures, and friendship.

We meet Melanie, our FMC, at some ritzy birthday party. It's the girls' 18th and EVERYONE gets a shadowbox delivered from the gods on that day. Melanie never did. One unique thing about these boxes is the possibility of getting an invitation to the Academy. Melanie takes the girls, and takes off for the academy. She becomes a Recruit.
We meet Lucien, one of the MMCs, who starts off treating our FMC badly, but comes to see there is something different about her.
Many things happen over the next few months, besides meeting Zeus, Poseidon and YES even Hades.
Jump into this book to see just how much the world has changed and in which direction. Some of my favorite things are the use of modern English and slang, the use of the correct names of the various gods and their children, and the 12 trials every student must complete, just like Heracles.
Would I listen to this story again? ABSOLUTELY YES
Would I recommend this book to others? YES
Just so you know, there's a cliffhanger and its a doozy.
Excellent Greek Storyline!!!

While there is echoes of the Percy Jackson novels, this is it's own story and stands on its own. The world set up is totally different; in fact, I wish I could have seen more of how the outside world was with the knowledge of the reemergence of eh gods.
I saw the twist coming, but that doesn't mean it's not a good twist. It will take this series in a new direction I haven
t seen in many others with similar ideals. I think this will be great for the character and distinguishing this series from all the YA in the market.
That being said, I had issues with the alternating view points. Lucian has several chapters and they seemed to be random and didn't really add more to the story that Melaney's wouldn't have. I also didn't like the narrator for those sections; he didn't sound like the character at all.
Over all, The Demigod Academy: Year 1 is entertaining and sets itself apart from other books of the same nature.
I received a copy of this book from the author; all opinions are my own.
A Twist on the Boarding School cliche
