This was an enjoyable novel. Being a part of Gabriella’s journey to discovering her destiny was exciting to follow. Brandi Elledge’s story had some twists and turns that made for a very interesting read. It did end on a cliffhanger which made it even more interesting. I look forward to reading the next installment of Gabriella’s journey and reading more from Brandi Elledge.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fantasy story woven around angels, demons, demis, immortals and magic, this book hooks the reader right from the first page. Many years ago, when a plague was causing human population to die, 15 archangels, who were not supposed to interfere, broke the law and saved few humans. These humans were considered blessed and possess special powers. Over centuries, as the bloodline progressed from one generation to another, the descendants still possessed certain special powers.
Hence, in the current world, it was mandatory that each human is tested whether they are blessed or not, at the age of 16.
One such blessed girl, Gabriella, despite being blessed, detests her super powers.
She is sent to one of the academies where the officials soon find out that she is blessed. Despising her situation, against her wishes, she agrees to get trained. she becomes an object of interest to her commanding officer. She makes few friends and many enemies in and outside the academy. As fate would have it, she finds herself in a pivotal position in an upcoming war as she tries to trace her own lineage.
It is a very fast paced book, with funny and interesting characters. I enjoyed it. I felt that the ending should have been more conclusive. But overall, a very enjoyable read.

I was hooked from the start and I couldn’t put this book down until I finished reading it! Then I got left on a cliffhanger ugh!! Gabriella is going through so much in such a short amount of time. I am so glad that Gabriella made two really good friends because she needs people on her side especially since she didn’t really have anybody growing up in foster makes it hard to get close to anyone. The author did an exceptional job weaving an intriguing and entertaining story that I couldn’t get enough of. I cannot wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and wow she now has a new fan. I normally don’t read young adults books but I’m so glad I did. I fell in love with the cover and then the amazing characters in this story. This is the first book of the Academy of Seraph. This book was a perfect way to start an addictive series. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a full day to devour this amazing story. I can’t wait and see what is next for these unforgettable characters.

Gabriela is not your normal seventeen year old. She was blessed by the angles and gave her some powers that she doesn’t even know how strong they are. Gabriela gets thrown into a new world that she doesn’t want to be in. She is now one of the students in the school for the gifted called the The Seraph Academy. Gabriela feels like she doesn’t belong but she quickly finds out that she is the best. She is shocked when she meets the commander of the school. He makes her feel things that she should not be feeling yet. Gabriela finally makes some friends but are they really her friends? Will Gabriela find out her true power or will someone want to take it from her?

This is one of the best paranormal fantasy reads I’ve read in awhile. Gabriella is what makes this book one of the best because as you get compelled further into the story, you see what all she’s battling and you quickly find out why she’s “blessed” by powers that are higher than who she is. As Gabriella is ready to escape her destiny at the academy, a handsome commander is keeping her interest. The truth is, she knows how important it is to hide her identity and what she possesses to protect herself from the fallen angels. Pick up this book and the first of an amazing series I’m hoping to read the rest of. Great book!

(This deserves so many more)

I’m sitting here staring at my screen speechless…Where do I begin?

This is my first book by Brandi Elledge, not sure why but it is, it will absolutely not be my last.

I won’t lie, I threw my kindle when i finished, I may or may not have also said a few curse words when it ended. When I was done I immediately pulled up everything I could find because I MUST have the next in this series, I was all ready to one click when I see it’s not even out yet. Throw in a few more curse words here.

This book was completely amazing..it had me reading till the yawns made it impossible to stay awake, then jumped back in needing to finish it, yet not wanting to because I didn’t want it to end. The flow of this story was complete and utter perfection…the genre is not one I normally choose, but the cover drew me in and some of the reviews had me too curious to pass it up. I usually get lost or lose interest but not this time. The dialogue throughout the entire story was so enjoyable and even though a few of my suspicions were spot on it did not matter, there were still some things I’d have never guessed.

There is no doubt in my mind that Remy has been added to one of my favorite supporting characters ever! “Bless her sweet ghostly heart” Then there’s Finn *insert huge sigh here* and this author transported me into the story and I felt like I was on Gabriella’s journey with her! This book was full of absolutely everything I love about reading. Finding a new author, falling in love with a book from a genre I usually struggle with, absolutely everything!

I usually make myself notes so that I can catch myself up before the next book in a series comes out…Im not doing that this time, this time I will just read it again, and probably again!

PHENOMENAL STORY!!! Many many thanks to this author, and please please please I truly must have the next as soon as possible!

My head is still going over everything that happened in the story and it is that good. Just because it is marketed as YA does not mean adults cannot enjoy it. This story had ups and downs, twists and turns, and secrets around every corner. I personally could not put the book down until I read the last word. The plotline is engaging and the description of the surroundings you are in at that moment gives you the sense of being right beside the characters. Gabriella is “Blessed” and has to attend The Academy of Seraph. She was lied to about who Blessed her for her own safety. Will Gabriella found out the truth? Who else will find out about those who have Blessed her? Is she in danger? You will have to read the story to find out the answers.

Sometimes you pick up a book not knowing what to expect and it completely takes your breath away and this is exactly what happened with this story by Ms Elledge. I like YA books because find them nice and easy to follow and they always seems to have a good storyline that’s not overly complicated and it’s always nice to just pick up a book and get lost in what you’re reading for a while. This is exactly what happened to me in this book – in fact I got even more than I anticipated! The storyline was deep and the authors’ writing was beautifully detailed. I loved the characters, especially Gabriella! I was completely captivated by this fantasy world of angels, demons and so much more! I was definitely kept on the edge of my seat that’s for sure and I cannot wait for the next book to find out what happens!

Blessed: The Academy of Seraph by Brandi Elledge. This book is so good. Its about many years ago when disease took over the land and affected all humans and they were dying quicker than they could keep up. 15 Angels were told not to intervene but did so anyway saving some humans. If you are touched by a archangel and a fallen angel then you are considered doubly blessed. Enter Gabriella who was 17 who knew she was blessed and wanted nothing to do with it. Now she is enrolling in the Academy of Seraph and realizes she has to keep secret that she is blessed so her skill of being able to hide should protect her. The commander of the Academy is HOT and determined to keep her secret lying to everyone about it. She has become friends at school with Remy , Trev and Hannah but one of the friends will turn on her and someone will even try to kill her. Will the fallen angels called the darken find her and kill her or will they keep her secret. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and once you start you will not want to put it down. There is adventure, danger, romance and betrayal. All you could ever want in one book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blessed: Academy of the Seraph is a YA fantasy book by Brandi Elledge which centres around a school for young adults who have been chosen by angels (and, sometimes, demons) and given special abilities. The protagonist Gabriella is extremely powerful, but knows that her powers could put her in danger and so has been hiding and avoiding going to the Academy for as long as she can.
My favourite characters are Gabriella’s best friends, Remy and Hannah. They’re both so fun and kind, and help to lighten the mood of the book. Also Remy spends a considerable amount of time asleep which is relatable.
There’s a bit of a love triangle, which I could live without, but it does link in to aspects of the story and adds to the tension. Generally, though, there is more focus on friendship than romance which is great!
For me, this is a five star read. Great for young adults who enjoy the whole school for people with special powers thing. It ends on a cliff-hanger, so I’m eager for the sequel to come out so I can find out what happens next!

After seeing many ads for this book, I knew I had to read it. I have always loved stories of archangels, fallen, and demis. I love how fast of a read this book was. It is one of those “just one more page” books that you never put down until you read the last page and are left begging for more from this author. I also loved how feisty the main character is. It makes you giggle at times, mainly the beginning, where the author describes a situation so vividly it’s as if you’re watching a scene instead of reading a story. I highly recommend this book.

Honestly one of the best books I’ve read so far this year. This is my first book from Brandi Elledge but will not be my last. I absolutely loved reading this story, I can’t wait for the second in the series.

Gabriella is “touched” or as she likes to put it “infected” she can’t avoid testing any longer but hopes to be able to pass off as normal, only she’s not that lucky. Carted off to the academy against her will Gabriella wants nothing more then to hatch an escape plan, only the commander, a beautiful brooding man keeps foiling her plans. There is so much more to this story but I don’t want to give away any details, read it I promise you will love it.

I’m so gripped I can’t wait to see how the story continues.

War is happening between the angels and the fallen. Gabriella wants nothing to do with it. She just wants to be normal. She’s hidden her powers so far but what will happen when she comes into them fully at eighteen? Unable to avoid testing this time, she ends up unwillingly at the Academy of Seraph. As far as Gabriella is concerned the school gets bonus points for having the hottest commander to walk the face of the earth unfortunately he can be a jerk. Gabriella realizes that she’s in danger and needs to escape but who can she trust?

This is a young adult fantasy that will keep you glued to your chair unable to put the book down. The story is filled with love, romance, danger and humour. Omg and taco eating unicorns! I love the world that the author has created in this book. With twists and turns, I can’t wait to see where the story will lead us in the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the plague was killing the world population, fifteen archangels took it upon themselves to spare the lives of the humans they deemed formidable. In doing so, they passed along their traits and made these humans obtain special powers. However, being caught, they were forced to Earth and became fallen angels. Generations have passed, but humans are still being born from the bloodlines of those saved with special powers. When they turn sixteen, humans are tested for those powers. If the powers are present, they are sent to one of two academies to train.
Gabriella has grown up in foster care and has done everything she can to avoid the mandatory testing since she turned 16. However, officials have finally caught up with her and she is required to test. She tries to fool the test administrator by concealing her powers, but she soon finds herself enrolled in Academy of Seraph. She is immediately on edge because she doesn’t want to be there. The commander of the academy takes interest in her, as does another new student, as she tries to figure out her lineage and her powers. She soon finds she will play an important role in an upcoming war, whether she is ready or not.
I found myself really enjoying this book as it went along. As Gabriella learns more about her past, her connection to those at the academy starts to make sense. There are twists and turns that I did not see coming. The story ends on a cliffhanger…so I will be looking forward to the next book to find out what happens. This was a great start to a new series and I am excited about where it may go in the future.

Mrs. Elledge has done a fantastic job writing this book! She captured my attention from the beginning and had it to the end. I found it hard to put it down.

Gabriella, a teenage girl, has been running for the last two years. When she’s finally caught up to she’s taken to one of the academies. She’s told not to trust anyone because you never know which side they’ll choose. The quote I choose for Gabriella is: “Maka? You’ve called me that before what does it mean?”

Finn, the commander for one of the academies, catches up to Gabriella. There he finds that there’s more to her than meets the eye. He then finds himself drawn to her and finds himself protecting her. The quote I choose for Finn is: “It wouldn’t be important to anyone else. They took it because they are trying to figure me out.”

I really advise anyone who’s reading this to be ready to laugh. This book had me on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what happens next. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves a good laugh.

Hands down one of the best books I’ve read all year- if not ever!!! Honestly if I could give it more stars I would!!! I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE NEXT BOOK/S!!!!

Blessed: Academy of the Seraph is the first book in the new Academy of the Seraph series by the supremely talented Brandi Elledge. I absolutely LOVE Ms. Elledge’s books- she is one of my favourite authors- on the top 5 list- so it was a given that I would be reading this story. But to say I was blown away is an understatement- I couldn’t have loved it more than I do! I have read it twice already- and will read it again before the next book releases in a few months time- that’s how good it is!
This book has a little bit of The Mortal Instruments feel to it- but with its own identity and originality. The way this series is shaping up, it is set to be exceptional!!! I am so excited to see what lays ahead. I have a serious addiction to Ms. Elledge’s stories now, and I need my next fix like STAT!
“Blessed” is a multilayered extravaganza of a fantasy that captured me right from the first page- I couldn’t have put it down, even if I’d wanted to- it is completely spellbinding!!! The story is woven around angels and demons, immortals, magic, action, adventure, prophecy, secrets, humour, taco’s, unicorns and puppies (you need to read the story to get the reference to the last three 😊).
I really don’t want to give too much away, because you really should read all the exciting details for yourself. So, I will just give you a basic run down- a little taste of what to expect. Gabriella Arien is what they call ‘blessed’- as in touched by angels kind of blessed. There is also a war raging between the angels and the fallen and their demons. There are two Academies looking to recruit new ‘soldiers’- The Seraph Academy (Angel Academy) and the Empowered Academy (the Darken/Fallen Academy). There are compulsory trials held regularly to pick/find new recruits who have been ‘touched’, then gauge their level of power before being trained. Gabriella has managed to avoid the last few trials as she wants no part of the academy, or the war. But she is finally forced to attend, and so her adventure begins. She will soon discover that there is far more to her, to the Academy of Seraph, and to the whole situation than she could ever have imagined. As danger begins stalking her, she is going to have to decide who should she trust? And can she keep under the radar long enough to figure things out? With betrayal, politics, power plays, hidden agendas, magnetic chemistry, and an incredible adventure- this story is truly a riveting read!! I can not recommend it highly enough!!!
Brilliant!!!!

Thank you, Brandi Elledge!!!!

Wow! What a great story! This easily kept my interest and yet the storytelling made me keep reading to get answers. I loved it! The characters are lovely. They have depth to them that slowly comes out over the story. Remy is an amazing character! She is outlandish and made me laugh more than once. Finn and Trev are both seriously sexy men and they each have that certain commanding presence that draws me over and over. Gabrielle is full of mystery and faithfulness. I can’t wait to see when she becomes fully in control.

I loved the flow of the story with characters that drew me in. That “flight” scene was done wonderfully! I could almost “feel” what it was like to be able to do that! Well Done! I can not wait for the next one!

Blessed: Academy of the Seraph by Brandi Elledge is a fantastic YA paranormal fantasy story that had me enthralled all the way through. I loved it. All I could think about is how many hours of work I had left before I could pick it up again. Brandi did good with this story and her writing style has the ability to transport you right into the story. The plot is gripping, and the characters are deep, complex and relatable. The world she has envisioned is complex and believable and beautifully woven. It has all the ingredients and magic to make for a great read. There is suspense and heartache, fun and humour, action and adventure, second chance and romance. I absolutely loved it. I am now anxiously waiting for the book.

I loved how the story was set up – I knew it was going to be an extremely fascinating storyline. I’m so glad I was right.

I am so happy that this book merely drew me in by the cover and not only gave me an unforgettable story but a desire for more. Blessed is not your typical academy young adult read and really delves into the characters first then adding the fantasy elements to boost them. This book kept me so enthralled that I found myself reading into the night, well more like morning at 3 am, because I needed to know how this book would end. I will warn you and mention that the cliffhanger in this book is one for the record books. I am legit sitting her reeling still two days later about that ending. The book is so detailed that you feel transported to this world with Gabriella and Finn and all the supporting characters. I swear I could smell the air as I read and I love when a book does that for me! I cannot wait to get my hands on book two and hope that it is sooner than later!

Brandi Elledge! I have no words!

I sit here writing this review minutes after finishing this read, and I’m not happy…
I’m so frustrated that you ended this book with that ending!

I can’t believe you will now make me wait to found out the fate of not just one character but six of the most important characters in this book! This read had me completely and utterly captivated and entranced from the get-go until the very end! I read this book in one sitting and all I could think about was wanting more!

This book was mentally visual and had transported into this world in which we follow Gabriella’s story. From the moment we meet her I loved her, and throughout the read that just grows, but put her with her two best friends and you can’t help but like her even more, but then comes along Finn, and well that’s a whole other story that you will need to read and find out!

This was an epic fantasy read with characters that are unforgettable and a story that captivates you.
We have Second Chance Love, Romance, Friendship, Action, Adventure, Suspense, Heartache, Sadness, Pain, Humor and much more.
Gabriella & Finn were definitely on another level from the moment they meet, you can tell nothing will ever be the same again for either of them or their journey they will take. They have an undeniable chemistry that only continues to grow as the story moves forward. But I don’t want to say too much on them, as that would definitely spoil the brilliance of this read!

You will never be bored with this read, it will have you at times on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next and even when that happens something else knocks you back again!

I loved every second of this read and I really need to know what happens next!
I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next read & you will too!
Don’t miss this read!

The story Blessed: The Academy of the Seraph by Brandi Elledge is a book that I loved reading. It pulled me in right from the start and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a book that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. The story centers around the main character who has been touched or blessed by angels. There is danger from enemies that could come from anywhere, even from those at the Academy where they now live. Hidden abilities and secrets abound. Will the main character be able to hide who they truly are? Their future hinges on it. Read this book to find out what happens. The author does a wonderful job in making both the story and the characters come alive. I loved that the main character is stubborn, independent, and feisty. Besides the main character I also enjoyed reading about the other additional ones. There are those who are friendly and helpful and then the ones I would call evil and only seek for their agenda to succeed. Don’t miss out on a story that is intriguing and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this story. This is a well developed story that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. They made the story easy to read and engaging. I had no issues connecting with them as they made the story come alive. Who knew how seven words could change a life forever. That is what happened to the main character in this story. Being enrolled at the Academy. The problem is the Academy should be a place of protection but reality is enemies could be anywhere. There is a secret being hidden but she is not the only one trying to keep it safe. What will the future hold for these characters? They really are great characters that I enjoyed, strong and supportive. A great fantasy story I would highly recommend. I didn’t regret picking up this book and neither will you.
