Spring (Evermore Academy #2) by Audrey Grey -- Restarting June 5th 2024

[Jenn]

Welcome to Evermore Academy where the magic is dark, the immortals are beautiful, and being human sucks.

My name is Summer Solstice and this is going to be my year.

Except, in the Everwilde, nothing ever goes according to plan. Students from the rival Fae academy join Evermore, and the Spring Court heir decides it’s his mission to make my life hell.

In an effort to bend me to his will, the Spring Court heir takes someone I love. There’s only one way to save them, but it jeopardizes my entire future.

Worse, someone steals the Darken’s soulstone. Everyone at the academy is a suspect.

Forces are gathering.

Sides are being chosen.

To stand any chance of saving humanity, I must finally accept the soulbond with the Winter Prince.

16%(view spoiler)[ Ruby is hilarious! Seriously, she really upped her game this book. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

33%(view spoiler)[The Winter Prince saying, "The adorable cat versus this thing," is hilarious! I could picture that in my mind. (hide spoiler)]

[Amber]

3% Just to let you know I’m here (Krystal G.) Buddy!!! (view spoiler)[ Can’t wait to see what Summer is up too??? Shenanigans and trouble seems to follow her no matter where she goes. And by the way Happy Birthday, Summer Solstice!!! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It truly does! She has so much stress in her life right now. (hide spoiler)]

Great!

[Amber]

10% (view spoiler)[ OMG! A whole new crew of Fae. And of course the Six are still messing with her. It’s getting interesting. Plus, Summer is trying to fight the urge of falling completely into soul bonding stuff. She has yet to find and figure herself out. And for ILB: Instant Lady Boner, he’s giving her space for now. But it sounds like he knows it will be worth the wait.

-Hmmm!!! I’m curious thou, whoever helped in the courtyard/her friend or foe???
(hide spoiler)]

[Amber]

18% (view spoiler)[ Chapter 8: Summer is on a mission to prove herself worthy. Because she is up against Fae's that don't want her there. They are some pretty ugly Fae-holes for trying to get her expelled from the academy. But she still have some pretty good friends by her side.

-What is up with W.P.? Why isn't he there for her? I guess we'll see!

Great!"

Awesome! :)

[Amber]

38% (view spoiler)[ Chapter 17: Summer and Valerian having been trying to stay apart from each other. But the soulbond is getting stronger between them. And it seems that they may break and anytime and consummate the bond. (he he!) With all that playful banter between each other. The bond somewhat scares Summer, in way that is hard to explain. But when or if the time comes I hope it's a positive experience for her. But the need to focus more. (lol!)

-I want to know more of this soulmancy, this power that she possesses. Hmmm! Can it be the missing linking to this very big mystery? Is that why someone is trying to killer her or kidnap her? Need to know more!!!
(hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

75% (view spoiler)[Poor Mack! It seems she is really struggling. I hope Summer is truly going to tell her friend the truth and find out what's wrong with Mack.<.spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

84% (view spoiler)[ I can't believe her parents sold her!! That's devastating for her. (hide spoiler)]

:(
(view spoiler)[ OMG!!! What the Fae Hell!!! Now I'm truly going to finish this tonight...I truly need to know... (hide spoiler)]

[Amber]

55% (view spoiler)[ Chapter 25: Kind of lengthy, but it explains a lot. Summer making deals with the Prince Hellebore and saving Ruby. And learning about Valerian's mother Calista and the deal between Winter Prince & Prince Hellebore from Eclipsa. Summer is also learning a little bit about Eclipsa in the process.

-How is this deal going to play out, does Summer's plan work? What's the twist? Need to know...
(hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

98% (view spoiler)[ This ending topped a lot of these types of books. Of course, most of them end in some tragic love issue, but I do like how this is playing out. The third book is going to be extremely interesting! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I really hope we either find his mother in the third book or she comes back and truly explains what happened. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Finished. Hate that the third book doesn't come out for a while.

[Katrina G]

Starting this one now!

I had to look it up, and it says it will out in April...No!!! Why so long!!! I honestly thought that I was going to finish this series...I guess that I'll have to wait...DANG!

[Amber]

82% (view spoiler)[ Summer is for a deal for her life, and I mean exactly that. She made another deal with the devil named Hellebore. This time she did it for the safety of her family. Which was a noble act of love and bravery. But, all she had to do was win the gauntlet. Cross your fingers and toes that she does. I hope she don't lose Mack's friendship over secrets. Love, adapt and overcome...

-Will the this gauntlet be the end of Summer Solstice? Or will she find and fight for her freedom?

Katrina, it's only going to get better with the playful banter between the two and a handful of seriousness. You'll see and you will like...:)

Right! I'll forget all about it by then.

(view spoiler)[ I honestly find Ruby to be super annoying (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[She really needed to check herself when it came to all her secret keeping. Mack deserved to know the truth. I know she was going to eventually tell her but she should have told her from the start. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Right! Me too.

[Katrina G]

Amber wrote: "38% Chapter 17: Summer and Valerian having been trying to stay apart from each other. But the soulbond is getting stronger between them. And it seems that they may break and anytime and consummate..."

(view spoiler)[ I rather like the idea that Valerian has to fight Asher because Summer gets him so wound up lolol (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

52%
(view spoiler)[ Hmm. I wonder what Summer is going to do to get out of her end of the deal. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

57%
(view spoiler)[ I'm surprised Valarian and Summer didn't have sex before she died. The way he's acted around her sometimes didn't give me that vibe at all (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

68%
(view spoiler)[ Don't get me wrong, I love summer, but why is she so special that now another dude wants her all to himself? This is one of the things that annoys me about books like this. Every guy doesn't need to have some sort of special interest in her for her to be special (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

74%
(view spoiler)[I feel like Summer is so caught up in what she believes love to be (and honestly just ignoring the fact that Fae don't believe in mortal love anyway) that she can't see that the bond is the way Valerian loves her. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

76%
(view spoiler)[ Why is Summer surprised to hear bitterness in Jane's voice? I'd be bitter too if I thought fae were dangerous and someone I loved was in an academy surrounded by them and couldn't take the time to respond to any of my messages to let me know they were at least still alive. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

79%
(view spoiler)[ Ugghh. He just dissolved a marriage agreement that is going to bring wrath from all sorts of directions so he can completely give himself to you, and instead of seeing that's how he can love you, you want to argue because he can't say he loves you. I'm rolling my eyes so hard right now. Let the word go, and just feel what he's giving you. It's all the same in the end even if he can't label it the way she wants (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

88%
(view spoiler)[ "If only you had told me everything you were going through, we could have dealt with it together."

YOU DON'T GET TO SAY THING LIKE THAT WHEN YOUR LYING JUST AS MUCH (ABOUT STUFF EVEN WORSE) THAN SHE IS.

Like. Are you kidding me right now? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I was really worried Mack would be super upset once she learned everything Summer had kept from her (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I could only imagine the guilt she felt after she said that. (hide spoiler)]

[Amber]

Katrina wrote: "79%
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Believe me I felt the same frustration with her. All that he put on the line for her, expressing the type of bond he shares with her. That's what I don't get, and why she has to press the issue. But then again she is strong as her will and she knows what she wants. Even if she is stubborn at times, she won't expect or except anything less than what she deserves. Which is LOVE!!! In the words of the Beatle's "All you need is Love". Will I hope that's the case. We'll see... (hide spoiler)]

[Amber]

98% Just a few more pages :(
(view spoiler)[ I don't want this to end like it is. I don't want to wait till April for the next book. I want Summer back where she's supposed to be. I just hope that she knows what she doing and if she don't. I hope that she finds a way. I don't want this to end...:(
(hide spoiler)]

[Amber]

100% Finished...(view spoiler)[ Boy Oh boy! Now I truly can't wait. "I'll fight for you, always." Love, The ILB. She coming back armed with secrets, lies, and powerful magic. YESSS!!!

-Love the series, now to write my review Five Stars (*****'s)!

(view spoiler)[ I know, that's the frustration I feel with her. She was too stubborn to except his (Faemore) form of love his giving her. Now I hope she's see her mistake, tries to amend all her wrongs with the W.P. her mate. (hide spoiler)]

16% (view spoiler)[ It makes no sense to me why she doesn't have more clothes. Mack would get them, the prince would get them- her only bra? (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

21% (view spoiler)[ Oh good grief- her getting upset over E saying she belonged to the winter prince is annoying. Get over it. (hide spoiler)]
