Destruction.
In a family of healers who save, all I do is destroy. My enforced solitude is for my own safety as well as that of the world, or so my mother tells me.
When the boy next door beckons, I can't help but sneak out to forge a friendship with him. Loneliness leads me to defy my family, but desperation prevails when I discover that the grounds of his private academy hold a secret that could help me learn why my ability is so disastrous...or push me to create a catastrophe that will bring about my family's deaths.
Merith Leigh has decided to give herself the best 16th birthday present ever: Freedom. She's spent the last two years in silent communication with Taran, the boy next door, and his encouragement to meet him beyond their bedroom window views has tempted her to finally break free of her family's bonds. With a leap of faith, she trusts Taran with her dark secret, and he takes her to meet his friends at his private academy, where a secret society that studies magic lurks with secrets of their own. Can Taran and his classmates help her discover why she carries the gift of destruction rather than her family's skill at healing, or will their association prove deadly?

Now this is a light hearted book designed to be suitable for the young as well as the old so don't expect too much depth and angst or explicit romantic scenes. But these will not be needed to keep you captivated from Page 1.
In addition there is a somewhat slow pace to the book that allowed a lot of time to introduce us to characters that may become important in subsequent books in the series. I did not find this at all to be negative. In addition, this story is told exclusively from Merith's Leigh's perspective and for this book, I found this apt and appropriate.
Another strong positive is the absence of cliffhangers. Although the story-line leaves the reader feeling the adventure and mysteries are just beginning, there is a very appropriate epilogue and some of the central mysteries of Book 1 are resolved. I am however excited that the audiobook for Books 2 and 3 are already released. This suits an impatient series follower wanting to explore some other outstanding mysteries.
A short comment on the narration: I did find it a little different from what I was used to and maybe a touch stilted but the narration style suited the main characters and there were excellent distinctions between which character was being quoted. In addition, the pace flowed very well and my interest was focused throughout. Only a skilled narrator can achieve this.
Unique and fresh with flawless narration.

Narration was excellent and brought the story to life.
This book has lots of mystery, suspense, drama, danger, a touch of romance, magic, witches, and unexpected twists & turns. I love reading Academy Series and this one does not disappoint. I’m young at heart and love this genre.
The story progresses at a good pace and it was hard to put down. The characters are likable and interesting. I was glad to see no cliffhangers, but there is a lot of mystery and unanswered questions that hopefully will be addressed before this series concludes.
Arda Academy is an interesting place and I can hardly wait to see what will happen next!
Excellent Teen/YA Drama & Mystery!
