Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick is a YA paranormal/supernatural story. The story is unique and original and Tabi made me fall in love with her first book and drew me into a world that is different and enticing. Her cleverly casted words and crafted characters leave you wanting more. The journey with Izzy and Kain is fraught with mysteries and suspense and is truly one of a kind that is totally engrossing.

I am so here for this series and loving it! I wasn’t sure if I would but I have been hooked from book one and even more entangled now after reading book two. I truly love the way the author spins the web of intrigue as we read and makes you wonder if you even know what is going on. I really enjoy the adventurous feel you get as you follow the twins Izzy and Kain in their second year of school. This brings new questions to light and even more intrigue as to what is happening to these two. I love the way the magic and supernatural pieces are an accentuation to the story, not the whole thing as this makes it seem just a bit more realistic. I am so excited to get my hands on the next book and see what adventures it will take us on next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the continuation of the story of Kain and Izara as they continue their lives and the consequences which go with them, but we start with them on their summer holidays, Izara has chosen to stay with Lee at his home near the school in Oklahoma, but Kain has decided to go to New York and stay with his Aunt.

While Kain is in New York, he has been working as an intern at a music magazine as a journalist, or more accurately, as an errand boy, he was hoping that his would mean he could have a rest from the telepathy, but instead, they are still connected, but because of the distance between them, it is only through their dreams and these are becoming more scary and realistic at the same time. They are also changing in the way they view them, they are seeing them from each other’s points of view meaning that they don’t get as much rest as they would hope to. He has also been struggling to control his powers at the full moon.

Izara, however, has been enticed by her power and is finding it harder and harder to control it. The flames she can conjure are appearing more and more often and it is becoming harder to keep others from finding out about them. The more time that she spends with her friends, the harder she has to work to keep them and herself distracted from the truth.

As their powers become stronger and more unpredictable, their other hope of having time away from Choyce and his determination to get them to help him solve a problem didn’t happen either. He is intent on getting their help and gives them both a proposal, he will help them to get control of their powers, if they help him in return, so as they return to school and struggle to hide themselves from the teachers and the other students, Kain and Izara realise that they want the same thing but in different way, Izara wants to embrace what and who she is, but Kain only wants to do that so that he can live a normal life, graduate and continue his life.

The question is whether they can both get what they want and whether the price will be too high to pay. Will their dreams lead them to a solution and will they be able to make a deal to help each other, or will it all end in disaster?

The only way to find out is to go through the steps with them and make the same discoveries which they do.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick is the second book in the Supernatural Academy Trilogy. This boo does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and their journey the whole way through.
This is a great addition to this series. For me I felt like it really built on everything that had happened in book 1 and showed a great development of the twins’ characters. The book was just as exciting and action packed as I found the first one to be and it was so easy to slip right back into this world – almost like you never left off.
This series is the first that I have read by this author but I am definitely enjoying her work so far. I am looking forward to reading book 3 and other work she has to offer.

Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed is the second book in the Supernatural Academy Trilogy by Tabi Slick. It is an original young adult paranormal academy story/series- with drama, mystery, action, adventure, suspense, and some fabulous world building.
After reading the first book in the series, I was hooked, and couldn’t wait to read what came next. We meet twins Izzy and Kain in Book One, two teenager who have some pretty unique abilities- but they seem to consider their powers to be more of a curse than a benefit. They still don’t fully understand their abilities- and are still looking for answers. With unknown enemies lurking, it makes knowing who to trust quite difficult. What ensues makes for a fantastic adventure!
I really recommend reading book one- so as not to feel ‘lost’ in this story. I think going into this book as a standalone could be a little confusing- so do yourself a favour and read Book #1 first.
Bring on the next book!

Thank you, Tabi Slick!

I loved reading the book Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick. It is a story that includes mystery, danger, and suspense. It is a book that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the characters of Kain and Izara. They are finding out how their powers are more advanced than they thought. They are also finding out how hard it is to control these new abilities. Will a newcomer to the school be able to help them? Can they trust this newcomer? What is in store for Kain and Izara? Read this book to find out. The author has woven a tale that is exciting and entertaining. Each page will have you trying to figure out just what is going on. The author has also done an amazing job of making the characters come alive on the pages. Some characters are helpful to Kain and Izara and others have an agenda. Who is telling the truth and who can be trusted? This is the second book in a trilogy and the stories are best read in order. I highly recommend reading this book and series and look forward to the next book.

This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous book first. I enjoyed this paranormal, fantasy story just as much as the first one. This story is full of magic powers and limits are pushed. Kain and Izara are back in this story with a battle between good and evil. They are faced with a newcomer that they are not sure they should trust. They must save the school. Will they do it or will the things lurking in the dark get them first? I enjoy the twins, they are among my favorite characters. They really do make the story for me and keep me turning pages just to see what they will do next. This is a great story that I highly recommend.

Tompkin’s School: For The Extraordinarily Talented (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 1) By Tabi Slick. Izara and her twin brother Kain are shipped off to a boarding school by their dad, but it’s not just the new move that rattles the twins, they change and I don’t mean metaphorically. I loved reading this book, the relationship between Izara and her brother Kain it’s a welcome one, too often I read sibling rivalry, this was a welcome change for them to be close and come together when needed. Such a brilliant unique story, I’m really looking forward to the next book

Tomkins School for the Extraordinarily Talented by Tabi Slick a talented four-star read. This is number one in the Supernatural Academy trilogy and I am excited to sink into the rest of the trilogy, I am so excited for number two, I need to see what happens next. The world building and character development was very well done and even though they were out there they were believable and made you need to know more about the characters, especially Izara and Kain, they reminded me of when curiosity caught the cat, and I know that’s not exactly what I mean to say, but honestly it’s the closest I can come up with without giving the game away. Bring on the rest of the series as I need more academy in my life, I would have given this five-stars but there was a couple of points that just made me stop.

Tompkin’s School: For the Extraordinary talented by Tabi Slick is a 3 star read.
Kain and Izzy are twins, they’ve been sent off to boarding school by their father after Kain punched him not long after their mother died and their father married his mistress, but Tompkin’s school is hiding secrets and the twins are starting to have really weird and scary dreams.
I was honestly confused by this book, by the time I got to the end I had more questions than answers, but maybe that’s just me, I would however recommend that you try it for yourself and see what you think.

This school for the Supernatural talented boarding school sounds like it would be an interesting school to attend. There are paranormal studies, and plentiful mysteries to go around.
Izzy and Kain are two new students to Tompkin’s that found they have talents that were hidden. There was darkness around the school that makes matters worse. Will Izzy and Kain realize what is going on in time or will evil take over. Tabi Slick has created a high school for the gifted. The story was a bit slow to begin but it sure ramped up in a hurry. I found me turning pages rapidly turning pages to see what is in store for the twins. I recommend this story for young readers to adults.

Paranormal YA fiction can sometimes feel trite or overdone. However I really enjoyed Slick’s take on the paranormal universe in these pages. I was extremely intrigued by how the book opened and then all of a sudden you are transported into such a fascinating world. The family dynamics only helped play into the depth of the storyline. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

I found out this is Tabi Slick’s first novel after I had finished it and I must say this is a very good and well thought out, exciting, and adventurous read that you would think that this is an author who has been writing forever. I am so excited to run and check out the other books in the series now!

In this novel we meet Izara and Kain, twins that are figuring out that their world is not what it seems and that their magic is only just beginning to come to fruition. These two are settling into a boarding school and start to discover things that may be dangerous to uncover. This is such a fun read and I am so excited by the premise that I literally can’t wait to get my hands on more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a tale of transferring to a new high school, in a new place and let’s not forget that it is a boarding school as well. This tale starts with a landing plane and setting off to a new, unknown place and the one who pick’s the new passengers to take them to their new home, is none other than a local policeman who takes them to stay with him and his family for the night, before hitching a ride with his son to the new school the next day. While looking out of the car window, a realisation hits that the new school is in the middle of nowhere and that there will be nothing interesting there.

On arrival there is something a bit unusual and off about the new school and from driving up to the gates, the place and the people within it are astounding, but not all for the best reasons, being shown around, normality resurfaces with the meeting of roommates, finding out what the school year will look like and who the teachers will be.

As everyone at the school starts to settle in, that things are not as they seem and the people are not who they are perceived to be, and the fact that one of them has black wings and shifts into a demon on the full moon, is a lot to handle on top of everything else.

there are twists and turns in this adventure, but will the ties that they develop last the distance, or will this school break those bonds? There are discoveries to find, decisions to be made and mysteries to uncover, how can anyone still maintain who they are as they get through these new challenges and stay in control of the darkness within?

You can only find out by reading the book and it will keep you guessing about what will happen all the way to the end.

Tompkin’s School For the Extraordinarily Talented is the first book in the Supernatural Academy Trilogy by Tabi Slick. This is a very intriguing young adult paranormal academy story, with fantastic world building, drama, mystery, and adventure. This is my first book by Tabi Slick, so I wasn’t really sure of what to expect going in- but have come out the end really happy to have stumbled on this wonderfully original pearl- it has left me really looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
When twins Izzy and Kain are packed off to boarding school little do they suspect how much they are about to discover. There is so much more to them, and their new boarding school- their adventure has just begun. With plenty of supernatural elements, dramatic developments, mystery and suspense- Ms. Slick has cleverly blended them all into this captivating read!
The end of the book leaves us wanting for more- so I’m off to hunt down the next book!

Thank you, Tabi Slick!

Tompkin’s School: For the Extraordinarily Talented by Tabi Slick is the first book in A Supernatural Academy Trilogy. Welcome to boarding school for twins Izzy and Kain and their new lives. This is a book with supernatural, paranormal, and a story of growing up. I really enjoyed the story, but the ending left a lot of unanswered questions which I hope to see answered in the other books in the series. I am always trying to find books to recommend to a younger audience and I think this will do well to capture their attention and keep them wanting more. I enjoyed the twins as well as other characters in the book. They are realistic but also a bit compelling as they develop in the book. I like the twins have their own stories and an overlap. They are developed individually and this could lead the series in interesting directions. I look forward to reading more in this series.

I liked the fact that the book is centred around twins – this is something you see very often and it is the first time I’ve read about it in this manner. They both played off against each other well.
I thought the story itself could have used a few minor polishes however overall it was a good, entertaining story. As the start of a series it definitely caught my attention. I am looking forward to see what is next at this school.

Description:
I thought my life was over the moment I was sent to this boarding school. I had no idea how right I was.
Now I’ve got black wings and each full moon I shift into a demon with some serious firepower. Oh, and did I mention something’s trying to use my powers for evil?
I can feel the darkness surround me whenever I close my eyes, making me want to do the unthinkable. I have to resist. To defeat the shadows that threaten to destroy this school.
But how can I remain in control when my soul wants to be reckless?
If you like BR Kingsolver, Leia Stone, Jenetta Penner, K.F. Breene, and Krista Street you’ll be thoroughly entertained by this original page-turner.
My Review:
This is the first book I’ve read by Tabi Slick. Tompkin’s School is about Izara and her brother Kain who are sent to a boarding school in Oklahoma because they clash with their father’s new mistress. At this point Izzy and Kain seem perfectly normal teens, but when they get to Tompkin’s school strange things begin to happen to both of them. I loved that the plot was so fast moving yet didn’t feel rushed, and I got to enjoy this thrilling ride with the twins and their friends. Can’t wait for the next one!

What happens when you find out that your nightmares are actually real? This becomes true for Izara and Kain when they are sent to a boarding school in the middle of Oklahoma. The twins soon realize that the school is keeping a deadly secret, it is not everything that it claims to be. Powers emerge that they didn’t know they possessed. They need to unravel the mysteries of the school if they want to stay alive and time is running out.

This is a debut novel for this author and I think it’s a good start. There is some fine tuning that needs to be done but I think that she is an author to look out for in the future. I found the story to be unique and intriguing. The author never really explains exactly what the twins are and this is one of the things that kept me interested. I liked the characters a lot though I think there needs to be a little more character development in book two. I believe this will be an interesting trilogy and I’m looking forward to reading part two.

There is more to Izara and Kain than meets the eye! Tabi Slick has done a wonderful job of taking us through the ever-changing, fast-paced journey of twins Izara and Kain. There’s plenty of twists and turns in the plot, which only fueled my desire to keep turning the page of their mystifying world. I didn’t always like, understand, or agree with Izara or Kain, but that is what made them more believable, more realistically flawed. Who knew, having a Nozzle for a father, and new (formally side piece secret) of a stepmother, sending you away could be the start of a fabulously magical life.
This cliffhanger ending has got me definitely wanting to come back for more!

Tabi is clever in her narrative and her character building as you never know which way she will take you. The story is dark and there is a lot of tension and action but it is nicely paced.

Izzy and Kain, twins, are sent away to school but it is not your normal school. They also find they are much more than they could have ever imagined. If only they can’t get to the bottom of things seen and unseen they might get a better grasp of who they are.

This is a true little gem and I very much look forward to where Tabi takes us next.

5-Stars

Tompkin’s School: For The Extraordinarily Talented (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 1) by Tabi Slick was an extraordinary read. First off, I loved that the setting for this story was in Oklahoma. The author did an excellent job of bringing it to life in this fictional novel. She gave the various scenery great detail and made it easy to visualize.

Secondly, I loved main characters Izzy and Kain. Their names were unique and easy to use. They were both fun and I loved their sibling bond. The story was told more from Izzy’s point of view but she allowed both characters to really shine. I enjoyed watching them grow and develop as the storyline progressed. They endured quite a lot after moving to the Academy. If you are looking for an excellent paranormal/young adult novel, this is it. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars

The story Tompkin’s School: For The Extraordinarily Talented (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 1) by Tabi Slick is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It hooked me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. The main character finds that they can shift into a demon and that someone is trying to use their powers for evil. The book has mystery and danger. The story is written in such a way that I could feel the emotions and conflict that comes from the main character. The author does an amazing job of weaving a tale that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. In addition to the main character, there are also secondary ones, each with their part to play. There are those with an evil agenda and also those who are helpful and friendly. Don’t miss out on a story that is interesting, intriguing, and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.
