Broken, bruised, and battered beyond anything else, I've survived what I shouldn't have.
But my day isn't done yet. We finally have the key to stopping Frost—literally. Even if we don't know how to use it.
One last time my friends and I have to scour not only the city but the supernatural world to find the pieces of this final puzzle—and we have three days to do it.
One final showdown brings us back to where it all began, and I face off against the woman who killed my brother. Who hunted my mother down. Who broke my uncle's spirit.
If I cannot find the final pieces, then I will fail. And if I fail, Frost wins, and we are all doomed.
In the final book of the Shadowspell Academy, Wild and her crew are facing Frost and her lackeys and hopes beyond hope that they are strong enough to defeat her. Wild knows they have one piece of the puzzle to stopping Frost, but will they be able to find the rest of what they need before it's too late?
I really liked the connection between the characters in this series. The only downfall this final book had is I would have liked more of it dedicated to the final battle and an epilogue to give some more details and closure to the characters. Here's hoping that there's a chance down the road that she will put out a series that is a spin-off to this one.

The Shadowkiller is back.
And he is hunting me down like a dog in the streets of New York City using every tool and ally he has—including people I once trusted.
I have never been so alone in my life, and yet if I turn to my friends that puts a target on their backs too. Which means I have to keep running.
So, I do what I know, and I set myself to finding the trail of breadcrumbs that will lead me to the one who is still pulling the strings.
Frost. A Chameleon just like me. Just like the Shadowkiller. Worse, she’s seeking out my friends to pick them off, one by one. To drain their lives in order to feed hers.
To stop her, I have to find her—a task easier said than done in a city this size.
What I don’t expect to find is a truth that this world and its secrets run far deeper, and far darker than I could have ever suspected.
The Shadowkiller has surfaced again, and he is hunting Wild down in the streets of New York with the help of someone Wild had trusted. She wants to turn to her friends for help but every time she does that, she puts a bigger target on their back so she does the only thing she can to keep them safe. If Wild can keep everyone safe from the Shadowkiller and Frost, two of the most dangerous Chameleons known then maybe just maybe she can find a way to not become like them.
The connection that Wild has with her crew is a connection that most would love to have. Each of them is unique in their own way and with the strength of each other, they can arise to any occasion. This series is a fun one to read.

The last of the Culling Trials is here. I foolishly thought I’d survived the worst.
My team is falling to pieces around me and my heart is shattered for the losses I’ve endured. But I can’t stop when I’m so close to the end. There are too many people depending on me.
I foolishly thought there wasn’t much more I could lose…until the nature of my bloodline comes to light.
I’m not what I thought I was. Not what anyone thought I was. But to tell people the truth would be to kill us all.
To fail the trials will mean death, but to succeed might damn me for life.
The end of the Culling Trials is finally here and Wild thought her crew had survived the worst of it but she was wrong. Her team is falling apart and her is being broken into a million pieces by the losses that keep stacking up around her. Each trial has brought out another part of her that surprises everyone around her and if she can stay alive maybe she will be able to find out more about who she is and where she comes from.
There are five houses in the magical world and it’s rare for a person to have more than one talent and people are definitely not meant to work together but Wild surprises everyone with the connection her team has built with one another. This connection makes them stronger than any other group or individual and is what keeps them going even when they are their lowest point. This strength is one of the aspects that has made this book such a joy to read. It is full of surprises making it hard to put it down until the end.

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 that 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.
Shadowspell Academy Book 1 and Shadowspell Academy Book 2 end with a cliffhanger
Wild has stepped into the place of her brother at the Culling Trials and is doing whatever is necessary to hide the truth that she isn’t Billy. The trouble with secrets is that they are hard to keep and the kids at these trials will use whatever they can to find a way to win. When kids start to go missing, Wild is determined to find out why, but she is unsure who she can trust but she wants to save them no matter what.

I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already…
Until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence.
In an invitation.
My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive.
If he doesn't go our entire family will be killed.
It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago—the same place he mysteriously died.
The academy has already killed one sibling. I’ll be damned if they take another.
I do the only thing an older sister can: chop off my hair, strap on two bras to flatten the girls, and take my brother’s place.
Magic and monsters are real. Assassins are coming for me, and the dead are prone to rise. What’s a girl faking it as a boy supposed to do? That’s right—beat the academy at its own game.
Or die trying.
Wild was shocked when a strange man showed up at her farm with an envelope for her younger brother, one eerily similar to the one that her older brother had received and who had died at this school. Determined not to let her younger brother die too, Wild sets out to become a boy and save her family from more tragedy.
This is a definite binge read book, so be prepared to read from cover to cover! The characters each brought something special to the story that made you want to know each of them better. A weird bunch of misfits each with their own gifts; shapeshifter, necromancer, seer, vampire, goblin and warlock each trial will show off their skills. If you are looking for your next new series this is one you don’t want to miss. Book Review: Shadowspell Academy (The Culling Trials book 2)
