Now a Wall Street Journal and Washington Post best seller!

You don’t choose the academy. The academy chooses you.

Being accepted into an elite school of magic, monsters, and assassins was not my idea of higher education. But here I am, fighting my way through the Culling Trials to claim my right to be taught.

As if the gauntlet-type physical and mental tests aren’t enough, people are going missing. People who are my friends.

In a dangerous world where no one is as they seem, the golden rule is simple: Trust no one. They think we should just look out for ourselves. That we should leave the fallen behind and ask no questions. They clearly think we’re idiots. I got this far by trusting my instincts, and I’m not going to back down now.

Those kids won’t be left to die. Not on my watch.

This series is awesome! Lots of excitement, mystery and laughter. In one scene, I could swear that I felt the wind on my face, it was so descriptive that I was completely immersed. Starting book 3 now!

Loved it!

You can't go wrong with sarcasm, humour, and a kick-ass tomboy.

If only there were more girls like Wilds in this world.

Entertaining

I really enjoyed this book but darn cliffhangers I honestly feel that if a book is good enough the author doesn’t need to play us that way you know. More of the trials and kids going missing, lots of action and drama and so darn good!!

Short but goooooddddd

Book 2 is highly entertaining with a rag tag crew of supes testing their abilities against the academy’s trials in order to determine whether or not they are worthy of additional training. The crew maybe young but there isn’t much in the way of the teenage against and typical words ( thank goodness)! Wilde is freaking hilarious! The storyline is action packed and fast paced. The characters are likable and believable! The story ends on a cliffhanger. The narrator did a fantastic job!

Wonderful story

Wild continues to avoid drawing attention to herself. One of her teammates goes missing, only for her to realize that he's not the only one. Wild also gets confirmation that she's in danger. She continues with her trials dealing with a troll, shifters & unicorns. Her secret is getting harder to keep hidden and she's discovering more about herself that's not normal.

Dangerous times, but there's unicorns!

Still in the culling trials, Wild's gender is becoming known. Her group grows closer, and although Ethan pretends to be the leader, Shade is moving into that role. Ethan continues to cheat to win, taking credit he didn't earn. Students are going missing. Rory has been a student in the Academy. He tried to protect Shades brother, and has appointed himself to protect Shade. He also is a Shade, and very good at it. Wild and her friends set out to find the missing students, not only in general, but because Gregory Goblin is one of them and Wild saw him taken. Now I'm off to but Book 3.

Well done!

Holy goblins and vampires, Batman! I mean, dang! This book was more intense, more chaotic and had a heck of lot more of Wilde being the loose, crazy, on edge fighter she is. It’s a lot being in the Culling Trials. Each task gets the group into more and more hot water yet, they pull themselves out. It’s a matter of staying one step ahead of the others. Wilde’s inner magic, the sensations and feelings she gets are getting more in-tune with her actions and she’s learning more and more to listen to her inner self.

It may be the only thing that saves her when one of her group is taken, her secret starts to get out and chaos blooms at her side.

It’s a wild ride and I’m so ready for more!

Part 1/Book 1 was very slow. I’m glad that Part 2 caught my interest and I sped right through to the end. Of course it’s a Cliff hanger and feels like this was once 1 book that they cut into 3 parts. Since I’m hooked now it’s time to read part 3! I honestly don’t see how it can end in 1 more part though. I feel like there could of been a lot more development of the characters/story to make the books longer.

Better than part 1
