The Girl and the Raven by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I could not put this book down. I read it in a day. There’s so many twists and turns. It is about a teenager named Lucy who goes to live with her uncles in a new town and then finds out what she believes to be impossible: that she is half witch and half demon plus she has 2 cute boys fighting over her but not everyone is who they really claim to be. A great fun paranormal book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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 find Elledge to be extremely gifted in her way with crafting a paranormal YA story that appeals to all ages. This latest story certainly grabbed my attention immediately. 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. From start to finish I found myself engrossed, relating to the characters (even though I am not “blessed”) and invested in each plot twist. Cannot wait to read what Elledge comes out with next!

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!

Blessed: Academy of the Seraph by Brandi Elledge is a well written and exciting book, with a fairly unique take on quite a well done genre. From the moment I started reading this book I knew I was going to enjoy it. I was hooked on the characters and the whole premise of the book immediately.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I love the way she was created this world and made it so real. At times it really felt like you were there alongside them. I absolutely flew through this book, reaching the end before I knew it, wishing I hadn’t because I had enjoyed it so much and wanted more. This is an amazing book and one I would highly recommend. I cannot wait to read book 2!

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.

I have been touched by angels. Blessed.

Seven simple words that changed my world forever.

Now, forced to enroll at the Academy of Seraph, I soon realize that my enemies could be anywhere, including behind the very walls that are supposed to protect me. And, thanks to my hidden abilities, I know it’s only a matter of time before I’m forced into a war that I inherited but did not choose.

Then there is the mind-boggling handsome commander of the academy, who is hell-bent on keeping my secret from the world. A secret that could cause me to be hunted by the fallen angels—the darken.

My future hinges on me being able to hide who I truly am—the archangels’ prized possession.
