Shadowspell Academy

Year of the Chameleon

By: Shannon Mayer

Narrated by: Khristine Hvam

You don’t choose the academy. The academy chooses you.

"This book is Harry Potter meets the Hunger Games in a bold twist on a classic magical young adult adventure." (Jaymin Eve, best-selling author of Supernatural Academy)

The Shadowkiller is back.

And he is hunting me down like a dog in the streets of New York City using every tool and ally he has - including people I once trusted.

I have never been so alone in my life, and yet, if I turn to my friends, that puts a target on their backs too. Which means I have to keep running.

So, I do what I know, and I set myself to finding the trail of breadcrumbs that will lead me to the one who is still pulling the strings.

Frost. A Chameleon just like me. Just like the Shadowkiller. Worse, she’s seeking out my friends to pick them off, one by one. To drain their lives in order to feed hers.

To stop her, I have to find her - a task easier said than done in a city this size.

What I don’t expect to find is a truth that this world and its secrets run far deeper, and far darker than I could have ever suspected.

But is any of that going to stop me?

Not a chance.

Shadowspell Academy trapped

I enjoyed this romp, of running caught and running again, then good and caught, with a lot of betrayal.
The narrator was okay, just a little hard to tell the difference of who is speaking. I had to go back once cause I got a little lost. Once i went back a bit, I was able to catch on, whew. I guess I would recommend the book.

Holy cats on fire!

This series keeps getting better and better! I am living for this dual POV between Wild and Wallie! Wallie is a beast! The action is gripping and fast paced. Betrayal runs deep this time around but Wild’s bond with her crew remains tried and true. No one is safe as Frost has people everywhere hunting Wild and her crew. I’m anxiously waiting for the next book but I’m sad that it’s coming to an end.

Never a dull moment!

Book 5 of the Shadow spell Academy series is a wild ride. Wild and her team are separated and on the run from several different factions. None of them want to be bait to lure the rest of the team into a trap. Obstacles keep rearing up to thwart the team. There are surprise twist and turns that you won't be prepared for, but you'll love it all the same. Can't wait for the final book to answer all the questions.

Good gravy!

I’ve come to a conclusion.... Shannon Mayer is just freaking evil. But I still love her so, it’s all good. Lol.

As with the other books in The Shadowspell Academy series we are taken on a magic unicorn ride that’s laced with a little weed, some pain killers and possibly, a helluva lot of acid. I’m tripping, and not in a good, I want to cuddle my pillow kind of way. Oh no. It’s a full blown, I need this last book you marvelously evil woman, kind of way.

Seriously. I’ve been on the dee of my sanity—I mean seat—from page one. What kind of sour patch kids kinda mess is this?

I don’t know who to freaking trust now. You think it’s this one. No, it’s that one. I like this one but then—another pops up. And then, no, that ones a basket full of black cats on All Hallows’ Eve too. Talk about a five alarm fire of crazy. That’s what this is. The entire book is the most epic kind of crazy cat lady there is.

I can’t wait until the next book is available!

Anither Great book!

Another awesome book to listen to. I'm ready for book 6!! Hope it's at least as good as this one..

Escape Rooms?

If you enjoy escape rooms, you’ll love this series! It’s Urban fantasy meets escape room. Wild and her crew are put to the test. Shannon keeps us on our toes while their abilities level up. Will they work together to defeat the other chameleons?

Khristine Hvam is a superb fit for this crew of misfits. She voices Wild so well!

The twist at the end!!!

I liked the adventures of each character in the story. Not thrilled with the ending … need to rush on to the next in the series to find out what happens. Good listen.

great but....

I hate that these books are so short and end so abruptly but I do like the story. I got the series on sale for way below the cost of a credit so I will be listening to the next book. if these were full priced, I would not have gotten them. seems like publisher just wanted to make extra money off this decent story by cutting it into 6 books.

What a ride!

I love, love, love this series. I just can’t get enough of Wild and her crew of awesome weirdos. This book was another roller coaster of emotions and action. I’m so anxious to see what’s happening next. More, more, more! With my bad Kylo Ren imitation. More shadowspell... every year, if you ask me! You rock Shannon!

Amazing!!!

She strikes again! Great follow up and an absolutely mind blowing ending! I need the next book now! I am pretty decent about picking up foreshadowing and I knowing what's gonna happen, but in this case I still have no ideal where she is headed!! it's exhilarating!!!
