Nightworld Academy: Term One Kindle Edition

At an academy attended by witches, shifters, and vampires, one student's bloodline will be their salvation... or a curse.

I've witnessed the future in visions my whole life. Nobody paid attention to my wild imagination until I tried to change events, and a student ended up in the hospital. Now everybody thinks I need help with my 'issues', so my parents enrolled me at a new school.

My whole world changed when I stepped into the exclusive academy on the Yorkshire Moors to live with other troubled teens. Troubled vampire, witch, and shifter teens.
Somebody forgot to give me the memo—I'm a witch.

On the plus side, I now have friends who don't think I'm crazy.

There's Ash, the rugby team captain and the academy's most popular guy, who just happens to be a shifter. Then there's Andrei, the broody guy with a bad attitude who takes pleasure in annoying me—oh, and he's a blood-drinking vampire with self-control issues. My quirky roommate Amelia takes me under her wing, as does her friend Jamie, the studious and friendly witch who's by my side whenever I need him.

I'm thrust into a world where potions lessons and academy games are fraught with rivalry, and where dangerous insurgents threaten both the hidden supernatural society and humans.

I've discovered I'm a rare future-sighted witch, and my visions are real. So how do I tell my new friends that one of us will die—and I know who?

Term One is the first in the Nightworld Academy series of young adult paranormal academy books. Perfect for lovers of books with a strong magical heroine who grows into her powers, swoon-worthy guys who love and protect her, and a supernatural world filled with magic, romance, and mystery. This series is a slow-burn sweet why choose romance.

This is what Legacies from the Vampire Diaries should have been like! It was an easy read and I enjoyed the story. It was predictable at some points, but I still enjoyed it. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Term 1:
She sees the future, and it’s her visions that lead to Maeve being expelled from her ordinary school, and being sent to the private academy that is Ravenwood.
There Maeve learns the truth about the world, and the beings that inhabit it, and where she realizes some of her more traumatizing visions have a basis in reality…

The story for the book is good, the world interesting, and the characters just what you expect from an Academy style story (filled with all the trope-tastic types you expect in school).
However, there were times I became confused about the fact that Maeve says she had just started studying for her A-levels: which happens at sixteen, and is implied as much earlier in the book; yet later the character keeps saying she is nineteen/fully fledged adult!
Maeve could also be a very annoying character, and her judgmental attitude really annoyed me at times. I was so happy when Jamie called her out on her behaviour, and I’m definitely hoping that someone does it regarding her attitude on vampires soon too. Though I complain, I did enjoy seeing the growth of her character, as she slowly comes to accept her new reality. I appreciated the very teenager like reactions, and look forward to seeing more growth within her.

This is an engrossing read, set in a fascinating world. This particular book in the series introduces the love interests, but little to no romantic interactions occur (though we see some internal dialogue referencing ‘feelings’). A deeper, darker conspiracy is also being set up, and I enjoyed reading the lead in for potential difficulties down the road.
RH academy/fantasy fans will enjoy this one, especially if they like slow burn and enemies to lovers tropes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but writing needs work.

I’m not sure where to begin with this one. I know authors pour their heart and soul into their books, and unless the book is flat out awful I don’t like giving a negative review.

The story itself is great. It’s a fun idea and you don’t see seers pop up as main characters often. But that’s basically all I’ve got for the positives list.

The main character is a whiney, self centered, b word. She literally gets upset at the way a main character saves her life. She comes off as shallow and immature. I get that she’s 19 but there’s not a whole lot of depth for this MC.

The book needs some major editing for both typos and grammatical errors. I can ignore most issues of grammar and I understand a few typos but it feels like no one bothered to edit this book at all.

For some reason the author enjoys taking you down long thought tangents that add absolutely nothing to the story. During an intense scene in the book that the author has been building up to for basically 90% of the story in which you think the MC’s friend might get hurt, you get a solid page or so of the MC wondering if a guy likes her or not. It’s obnoxious.

There’s this weird hot for teacher who’s way older thing going on like the author can’t figure out if there’s something there or not. It’s uncomfortable to say the least. But this could boil down to personal preference I suppose.

I think with a better editor and some time and practice this author has serious promise but unfortunately this book falls completely flat for me.

This is a great story. I was sucked in and his world and I enjoyed reading about this group of friends. However I think it is really taking forever to get to the action or even let this girl see stuff fully. I also see there are five more books so that has me thinking that this is going to be a snail dragging detailed race.

What would you do if you could see the future, but everything you saw was awful? Would you try to change it or accept the bad things that can happen. Maeve is a rare witch who has this ability. Except for the fact she has no idea she’s a witch and everyone including her parents think she has a mental illness. After being expelled from her school after an attempt to prevent the events in one of her visions she winds up at Nightworld Academy. She finds that the supernatural is quite real and her life as she knew it is over. At Nightworld appearances are deceiving and knowing who to trust can be a hazardous decision. As Maeve settles in she learns to use her power and keeps trying to alter the future. When a friend is the subject of her latest vision can she save them? Or is fate unavoidable? Get your copy to find out.
A wonderfully written story. Unique and flawed characters that draw you in. Maeve’s struggle to fit in is a great way to introduce this world and this series. Truly enjoyable. I’m looking forward to the next installment.

A great start to a new series. I haven't been able to put this book down and am excited for Term 2. Term 1 introduces us to Maeve. A Misfit, plagued by visions, she has been forced to hide from her friends and family, all her life. After one particular event at her previous school, Maeve is moved to Ravenwood Academy aka Nightworld Academy. On arriving Maeve soon learns everything and everyone are not all they seem. Welcome to the teenage world of shifters, vamps and witches and the daily battles they live with, hiding from the unsuspecting humans who have in the past hunted them. This book takes you on a meet and greet of all the main characters. It leads you down a path that is full of mystery and intrigue, clearly setting us up for what is to come. Maeve and her visions add an extra dimension to the story, will she be able to save the day, who will turn her head (lots to choose from).......another great story from LJ Swallow.

This is a slow burn academy reverse harem. Our heroine find herself in a new world. She is enrolled in a new school that have afternoon and night classes and where nothing is as it seems. She meet new guys with different powers and different story. Maeve is battle with her own power, try to control it and learn it!
The story have good plot twist with secrets to discovers, our heroine is strong and will definitely grew up in her powers during the series. I like reading about her guys and I'm curious about their personal story. Can't wait to read book two!

Zu einer Vier reicht es bei dieser paranormalen High-School-Story für Teenager definitiv nicht, da das Verhalten der Protagonisten gelegentlich nicht nachvollziehbar ist. Schon klar, dass man vermutlich nicht mehr so logisch denken kann, wenn man jahrelang wegen Schizophrenie behandelt wurde und frau für verrückt angesehen wird. Die Verhersehungen von Maeve Foster treffen allerdings immer ein, weshalb das Abschieben zum Psychiater keinen Sinn macht. Sie hat eine Hexe in der Familie. Weshalb diese nicht hilft oder nur sehr spät, auch das wird in diesem Band nicht erleuchtet. In der speziellen Akademie wird ihr anfangs alles verheimlicht, weshalb es dann logischerweise schwer ist, Vertrauen zu fassen. Und wieso wissen die Hexenjäger vor ihr über sie Bescheid? Etwas unausgegoren, aber als Erstbuch gebe ich eine Chance für das zweite.
