Well, alrighty then.
This book jumps right into the good stuff.
(I'm talking STEAMY)



Book two picks up after the break.
Elliot is still struggling with her magic.
Maybe even more so because of the pressure she feels building on her shoulders.
But she wants to prove everyone wrong.
The other magic community. Her peers. Even herself.
She wants to show everyone that she doesn't back down easily from a fight.
When she is picked to compete in the Inter-academy Trials, things come undone in more than one way.
Some good. Some not so good.



Elliot is a pretty great character, though her insecurity at times can be on the annoying side.
I still love her though.
And she is working on her ability to open up to the guys.
As well as her fear of everyone abandoning her.
I think she still has a ways to grow but we see her dropping those shields several times throughout the book.

Roman, I think, has made the most progress with her.
Mainly because he has known her a little longer.
And she has already opened up to him a bit by being intimate.
Cam and Asher are also making a dent.
We finally get to see some action with these two.
And let me tell you, its H-O-T.
Dmitri, he is my favorite. Mostly because of his growliness.
I really can't wait for him and Elliot to come together.
I have a feeling it will be explosive.



This is a fantastic read.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
Luckily, we don't have too much longer to wait for book three.
Because the ending on this? Hey, not happy about that.
You can't leave me hanging like this Sadie.



Come check out this awesome series if you haven't already.




Book Three, Thief, release June 27th.

This is the first book by Sadie Moss I have read, though I have several sitting on my TBR list.

Elliot knows magic exists.
She was raised around it until about four years ago when her mother passed away.
After that, she pulled herself from the magic community because they saw her as an outcast.
The reason? She thought she didn't have magic. Her sister too.
That all changes when Maddie realizes she has elemental magic with water.
And things take a twist none of them saw coming.



Elliot is a no-nonsense independent woman.
She raised Maddie from the young age of eighteen.
And has done everything in her power to make sure her sister had a happy life.
Even if it meant sacrificing her social life, not that she had much of one to begin with.
I love how she is represented.
Even if sometimes she comes off as frustrating and you just want to shake her.
I think it's part of her charm.



Now the guys, holy cheeseballs.
They are super hot.
We catch a glimpse of them early on in the book, but don't fully get to know them til later.
And it was amazing watching that unfold.



This book is considered medium-burn in the romance department and that is definitely true.
We get a steamy scene pretty early on in the book.
And what can I say? It definitely stands out.
There is one other intimate scene.
Though there are countless scenes with tension between the characters.



I was drawn to this book initially by the cover.
I knew the artist that designed it and was curious to see what the author did with the content.
Was not disappointed whatsoever.
Immediately, I was sucked into the book and didn't stop until I finished.

I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.
It will be interesting to see how the author plays this out.
Overall, I highly recommend this book and suggest you pick it up.
Especially if you've been on an academy kick like I have.


Trials the second book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic releases June 6th.
