This was such a good book! I look forward to books two and three.

The pacing and plot were excellent. In terms of being an academy book specifically, I really appreciated that it kept classes and learning the whole way through, as many drop them in favor of romance or mystery. This managed to incorporate romance and a bit of mystery well, along with a good group of characters. I look forward to seeing all of them become more fleshed out as the series goes on. As for the main character, Melany, I loved her! She was smart and strong, without being idiotic. I enjoyed watching her mistakes and triumphs. I also enjoyed her relationship with Lucien. I loved that he wasn't the typical closed off asshole love interest. Nope! He was actually respectful, caring, kind, handsome, and really awesome. I quite like him, and hope he and Melany continue their romance in later books.

Overall, this ended up being better than I expected, and I read it in a day. Melany was an excellent heroine, and the plot provided an interesting academy with cool classes, a bit of intrigue, and some fun romance. I do hope that her friends get a bit more fleshed out as the books go on. I look forward to book 2 after that ending! Awesome book! 5 stars!

Die Schreibweise hat sich unnatürlich für ein so junges Mädchen angefühlt und die Protagonistin wirkte ebenfalls einfach nicht natürlich. Ich kann nicht genau sagen, was mich gestört hat aber es hat sich angefühlt, als ob ich eine Serie schaue, in der sie eine Frau Anfang 40 als 18 jähriges Mädchen gecasted haben.

This was a great story Melany has several ups and downs throughout the book and truly learns about who she is as a person. And she is one spitfire, not letting anyone push her around which can get her into some trouble.Throw in some conniving Gods into the mix and dark shadows and there is no telling where she may go. The jerk who may not be a jerk, Lucian also has to come to terms with the boy he grow up as and the man he wants to be. And the spark between him and Melany excited to she how big of a fire the will grow into. The build of not only the main characters but the side characters are great they grow with every meeting. And sorry to say but the last line of the book will only leave you wanting more.
