Fives Academy - by L Wood (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The academy holds dangerous secrets. My family has enemies. And dragons might be real...

After witnessing my mother's murder at the hands of a powerful dark mage, my sister and I barely escape. Now we're his next targets. The headmaster of Fives Academy, a prestigious school for elemental students, discovers us and offers refuge within its enchanted borders. I have no choice but to enroll in the magical academy my mother once attended, even if it's the last place I want to be.

The plan is simple: keep a low profile, bury our past, and pretend to be normal. That is, until the school's elite singles me out as a magically weak outsider. And the infuriatingly charming senior who keeps showing up everywhere I go? He's magnetic, mysterious, and exactly the kind of distraction I can't afford.

But when the first of many attacks strikes, everything I thought I knew about Fives Academy-and my mother's past-starts to unravel. My vow to stay invisible? Shattered. Now I must decide who to trust before the darkness I fled finally finds me.

Fives Academy is a dual POV heart-pounding, twist-filled tale of magic, soulmates, and betrayal where adorable familiars roam the halls. And danger is closer than you think. For fans of The Winx Saga and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Review Quotes

I can honestly put my hand on my heart and say I haven't been so in love with a book like this In quite a while.

As I mentioned to the author I have enjoyed every word and chapter, every part of the journey.

The last few chapters were so all encompassing I could hardly breath..

I don't do spoilers but it is literally a magical book, good magic and dark. There are sufficient twists in the plot to keep you interested . A magic academy

Sounds wonderful.

Now I'm sad it is finally finished but I wholeheartedly recommend this for your reading pleasure. I'd give it a hundred stars if I could. -Goodreads Reviewer

I received this book as an ARC reader and this review is my own opinion of this book.

After getting past the first chapter, I was hooked. I read the first 15 chapters in one night. The rest of the time, I just kept saying one more chapter. This book is so great for yourself or your teen.

You enter this fun magical world by following two sister after the death of their mother. They are found by the headmaster of Fives Academy and are quick to learn that the school isn't as safe as they were lead to believe. A dark mage infiltrates the school and attacks begin to happen. The main female character and another student will ultimately leave the school to protect the other students embarking on a journey to find out the truth about her mother. She learns that family secrets run deep and when she returns to the school, more will come to light. The dark mage will underestimate her, the power of loyalty and love but the dark mage will not prevail.

This book is captivating, fun, and keeps you wanting more. I give it a 5 star rating. It will definitely be on my list of recommendations to anyone who has teens and adults who love a clean fantasy read. -Goodreads Reviewer
