Story
Lily Antony is a young witch playing in a very dangerous treasure hunt. She’s got to follow the clues her mom left behind after her disappearance trekking the world. Maybe even put the pieces of her life back together with each one. First stop - get that cute guy Romeo to help her out. It never hurts to have a werewolf along for the ride. Especially since Lily thinks her mom is still alive - and no one else does. Doubters are going to hate...and chase Lily and Romeo all over the world. Sounds like these doubters have something to hide?

Story
Twillo lies bleeding out in a volcanic desert. Towering over him is a snarling red wolf, death only seconds away. Right as his vision is going black, a mysterious voice offers Twillo a chance at survival. Do you agree to bind souls? It is the voice of a dragon, one that hasn't been seen for hundreds of years. By agreeing to soulbind with the dragon, Twillo will tie himself to the dragon's destiny, one of future conflict. He will need to cultivate the highly illegal magic power known as dragonessence, and seek instruction across the Four Kingdoms of the Sagaland.

Story
Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

Now I know why. I’m a witch...apparently. One little demon attack and my parents confess their ugly secret…and ship me off to an elite academy of magic—for witches only. I just don't belong here, and Jackson Lancaster keeps reminding me every single chance he gets. This boy is the most insufferable, intolerable, unbearable, judgmental person to ever have the right to be that gorgeous.

I signed up for a research mission with five other women. Instead, we crashed on an alien planet with too many dangers to count. Separated from the other women, I’m on my own until a huge alien with color-changing skin and a massive sword gets me out of a bad spot. I don’t understand Savair’s language, but I think he’s under the impression that I’m his. I am NOT his. I’m a 34-year old divorced scientist with no time for such nonsense. But if he can help me find the others in my group then perhaps I can play at being “his” for a while.

Publisher's summary
Magic doesn't exist in the human world. As far as I know. But when I fling a fireball at a bully, my horrified mom dumps me at Crystal Wing Academy, a place straight out of my favorite fantasy books.
They tell me I'm an Outling, a wizard born from non-magical parents. Mom's human. Dad? I don't exactly know who he is....
One thing I do know is I'm not an Elite - descendants of the original six families who split from the Fae ages ago. At 17, their children and despised Outlings like me attend the Academy to learn to control our power.
I'm barely on campus when I'm targeted by a mean girl. Figures. Thankfully, the Academy's not all bad. My pixie roommate's awesome. I score a coveted moonstone during Stone Selection. And let's not forget Donovan, a cute guy who seems to like me and not the mean Elite girl who's determined to win him.
Except something's luring students into the forest and draining their power, leaving only shriveled husks behind. The Headmistress warns me not to investigate, but the killer's after my friends. Big mistake there. My magical skills may be untrained and wild, but if a power-sucking vamp thinks he can harm people I care about, he's about to discover I'm a wizard unlike any other.

At first glance, the sisters of ultra-exclusive Kappa Rho Nu - the Ravens - seem like typical sorority girls. Ambitious, beautiful, and smart, they’re the most powerful girls on Westerly College’s Savannah, Georgia, campus. But the Ravens aren’t just regular sorority girls. They’re witches.

Story
Since I started school at Nocturne Academy, strange happenings have befallen me. The weird key-shaped necklace I found at a flea market chokes me every time I try to take it off. Also, a tall, blindingly beautiful and bitingly sarcastic Nocturne has the lock that matches it. His name is Griffin Darkheart, and - like this freaking necklace - I can't seem to stay away from him, though he's being Censured for mysterious crimes.

Welcome to Darkblood - oops, I mean Darkhen Academy. There are three rules to survive the elite supernatural school: Do not talk or even look at The Seven, the uber-powerful supes that rule the academy. Never go into the Fae forest on a full moon...or else. And most definitely do not fall for one of the extremely hot and unattainable instructors. Too bad I’ve never really been a rule follower...If word gets out that humans are no longer safe from the supes, our worlds will once again be closed off. It’s up to us to stop that from happening.

Unfortunately, not all people from magical bloodlines have powers, and at 22, I’m several years past the age they usually appear. So I’ve resigned myself to a boring, magic-less life. Then something strange happens. I get stuck in the middle of a bar fight, and instead of just punching the guy back, I blow a hole in the wall. So...I guess I do have powers. But they’re unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. This shit is definitely not normal. And it seems the magical authorities agree. I can go to school, learn to control my magic. Or they’ll take it away. Permanently.

And my family’s complicated relationships with magic, which has been long forbidden to wolves, isn’t popular with all the packs. I guess I should’ve said this is the place for born male shifters. There aren’t a lot of shifters like me, with flat irons and skinny jeans packed in their bags.

I’m fierce, short-tempered, and have the mouth of a sailor. Add in my stealthy fighting skills, advanced magic casting, and swift movement you’ll soon realize I'm someone you wouldn't want to mess with

The binding spell placed on me as an infant broke and I found out in a painful and rather unpleasant manner that I'm actually a witch. Now, the very people my birth mother tried to hide me from want to use my concealment as an excuse to push an anti-shifter agenda. The only way to keep my adoptive family - and myself - safe is to enroll in the elite Ravencrest Academy and prove I can control my newfound abilities.

These manly monsters are determined to repay me for my help, and they won't get out of my apartment, until they're satisfied we're even. There's something to be said for allies so devoted they'll tear off heads and shred souls on your behalf. I'm all for joining forces.

Enchanting Fantasy novel with exquisite narration
Loved this exciting tale of magic and mystery. I found myself captivated by the vivid imagery and moved by the emotion behind the narrator’s voice. Great performance bringing all the different characters to life. The voices were perfectly catered to each character. This allowed the story to dance and come alive in my mind as if it were a movie. Looking forward to the whole series! This book has been a great fantastical getaway allowing my to unwind and destress from the stresses and demands of my everyday life.

My first "magic" book.
My first "magic" book - I wanted to see (hear) what all the magic hype was about. It kept me in suspense, making me want to keep listening to find out what happens. The narrator was excellent - great voice inflection and an amazing job on switching from one character to another, and really enhanced the mystery of the book. An easy read (or listen!).

I enjoyed this Narrator
I do base my enjoyment of the audio book on the good merits of the writer and the narrator.
I really enjoy this book, and I tend to relisten to part of it over again, because I enjoy Nicole Parnell's expressions in re-telling Marty Mayberry's story!
Good one!

UNEXPECTED TREAT Kent Junge
As a 65 year old man who grew up with Narnia instead of Harry Potter, I'm not generally drawn to fantasy romance books featuring dreamy warlock hunks attending Incantation 101 classes ...But Mayberry's writing captivated and engaged me from start to finish. Despite her other worldly subject matter, her writing is refreshingly earthy and grounded, seasoned by a touch of whimsy. Even emotions,for example, are expressed in vividly physical terms, "Sadness reached into my chest and grabbed my heart"..
Her characters are not just romantic archetypes...(The brooding wounded bad boy hero tamed by the upper class heroine's tender love) They are confused, highly idealistic but clumsily horny, normal teenagers learning to manage the potential of powerful life skills which..uh...happen to be magic.
I was also blown away both by Narrator, Nicole Parnell's collection of voices (a chatty dragon fly, sssseductive nyad, and sassy talking door..to name a few) AND her ability to keep them distinctly consistent (therefore believable) throughout the book. Shortly into the book, for example I noticed that the voice of Flor (the heroine)'s mother sounded just like Flo the narrator...which made sense because both voices were read by Parnell....But because Parnell stuck by her vocal choices, kept them consistent throughout the book (Flo's mother didn't suddenly sound like Meryl Streep. Flo The narrator didn't turn into an old woman looking back at her life) I was able to suspend my disbelief, ceased thinking about Parnell's voice altogether and my brain simply accepted that adult Flo and her mother sounded alike because...well...they are mother and daughter .
Parnell's disciplined reading kept the narrative flowing free from distraction and maintained the book's credibility.
Playing several characters is often daunting on STAGE when you can rely on visual distinctions.. Alone in her booth Parnell's ability to keep characters distinct using only her voice is simply phenomenal. At one point I watched her juggle the voice of Flor the narrator, Flor the heroine, Flor's inner monologue, 3 or four other voices of varying ages genders and accents...THEN distinguish when these same voices were *telepathically* conversing through something called "Mindspeak" …
I very much appreciate how both Mayberry and Parnell chose not to give in THEMSELVES to teenage melodrama in their rendition of dialogue between the young, angst ridden residents of Chrystal Wing Academy. The drama is made all the more powerful because the story is told with understated, internalized emotion......I was almost hypnotically drawn into a powerful scene depicting Flor's first kiss....the dialogue was allowed to unfold with quiet vulnerable intensity rather than driven by giddy melodrama...I found myself enchanted by the "magic" of the writing and vocalization, my age and gender forgotten..
In conclusion, thumbs up from me and thanks to both author and narrator.
GREAT collaboration. Look forward to more
