Academy of Shifters: Books 1-4
Books 1-4I expected to start normal college, but instead… I wound up sprouting fur.
The one thing about growing up an orphan was that life sucked, but at least it was my kind of sucky. It was simple, ordinary… predictable.
Until the night I woke up naked in a dark forest, surrounded by a trio of powerful shifters who plucked me from my miserable existence to tell me I’m some sort of supernatural monster.
Now I’m taking a crash course in Werewolf 101 at some freaky, secret academy. Not to mention I can’t get my mind off an infuriating, yet gorgeous (and off-limits) lion shifter who loves yoga and calling me “poodle”.
If I can’t get my shift together in this world of underground societies and scandal, I’m going to be up a creek without a doggy-paddle. Especially when a rare ability emerges within me. The last shifter who had this so-called gift wound up dead, and if anyone finds out I possess it, so will I.
Now wolfy and I must step up our game and quit tripping over our own tail.
Life is never going to be normal again.

A very creative take on shifter fantasy
The first 4 books of Academy of Shifters, has well developed characters and a plot with more twists and turns than my heart could stand. Nothing is as it seems. Lying seems to be a way of life and although several shifters have special abilities, the heroine has the most powerful gift of all. The problem is she doesn’t understand how powerful she is and how so many want to capture her to use her powers. You can’t trust anyone, even those you think are your friends. I can’t wait to start the next part of the series. 5 stars! I definitely recommend this series!

It is a different and you must follow the reading order to understand it.
This idea of shifters are completely different than any others. So are the twists and turns. Remi does get on your nerves a bit but it makes you want to read more.

Great read
I really enjoyed this book bundle. I just didn't like that the fourth book ends with a cliffhanger and book two in the Veiled World Universe starts with a whole different universe.
When do we get to learn the rest of Remis revelation from her adopted mother.

OKAY
I know there are young people in college but the tantrums are hard for me to comprehend. It’s an OK story not sure I’ll ever read it again.

Slow burner, good for a spare 30mins
Not the easiest series to get into. Where some novels are hard to put down this one is a slow burner. I am glad I kept at it.

This was an interesting collection of four books. I enjoyed the world building and character development. It was a longer series that when I look back there was not a lot of action. Yet, all in all I enjoyed the story and read all 4 books. clean as far as no on page but there is closed door.
