High Fae Academy: Year One by Kaylin Peyerk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 1/2 Stars

High Fae Academy: Year One: Fae Paranormal Romance is the first book in the High Fae Academy series by Kaylin Peyerk. This is my first read by Ms. Peyerk, so I really didn’t know what to expect from her writing. But I really love a great fantasy story- and I’m not one to pass up a paranormal romance. So, I grabbed a copy and took the plunge. This isn’t my first paranormal, reverse harem college romance- so I was looking forward to seeing what Ms. Peyerk could do with the subject-matter.
This turned out to be a sweet, interesting, and intriguing story- although somewhat predictable- I still enjoyed the story. There were a few minor issues for me- I would have liked more on the character/s backstory(ies) and character information as this would have allowed me to connect with the character/s more quickly and easily. But perhaps we will get more backstory and character information in future instalments- I will have to wait and see. There were also times the story felt a little rushed, especially at the beginning while the groundwork was being laid out. But it did settle down part way through and I was able to enjoy the story more. Then there were storyline issues- such as the emphasis that was placed on the fact that Tiana was staunchly against the academy and all it ‘stood’ for- but kind of just ‘accepted’ being there without the ‘fight’ I would have expected knowing she felt so strongly about the Academy. I thought her transition went a little ‘too easily’. But that’s just my opinion- others may not feel that way about it.
The thing that really drew me to the story was the whole prophecy aspect of the story, and the promise of a great ‘adventure’. I am holding out my full opinion on this until I have read further instalments- and get more of a feel of where the story is headed. After the ending of this book, I am intrigued to start the next book and find out what happens.

Thank you, Kaylin Peyerk!
