Fans of fairy tales and mythical creatures, get ready for a world like no other.Molly Dillinger is ecstatic to begin her very first teaching job. When she is offered a position at Everly Academy, a mysterious school with an elite student body, the opportunity seems surreal. She gets to live in a magnificent mansion where all her wants are catered to while teaching ten brilliant girls. Of course, … ten brilliant girls. Of course, when something seems to good too be true, it most probably is.
Molly soon discovers that her new students are no ordinary girls at all. They each have a back story that is eerily similar to a fairy tale, only there is no happy ending for these girls. They’ve been cursed by a coven of witches and the deadline is quickly approaching before the curses become unbreakable.
The head mistress of Everly Academy has tasked Molly with an impossible feat. She must crack the code to break the curses before time runs out. As if that isn’t enough of a challenge, there are only five elixirs and ten girls. Things are on the verge of becoming cutthroat as enemies are made and alliances are formed.
Molly is trapped at the academy until her job is complete. Will she help her students find their happily ever after or will she be bound to the academy forever?
Don’t forget to check out the prequel trilogy, The Everly Girls (Forever Snow, Forever Ella, and Forever Scarlett).

Everly Academy Book One by V.B. Marlowe is amazing. This is an amazing story to read by a new amazing author I just found. It is book 1 in a new series which is gonna be an amazing series. I highly recommend this story to everyone, I so enjyed reading this story very much .
Fairy tales – but not as you know them!
Molly has finally found a job as a teacher. But, this isn’t a normal school… Once she’s in, she’s stuck in a school full of fairy tale characters she can’t leave until she helps them break the curse an evil coven of witches has set on them.
I really, really liked it. In fact, I would even go as far as saying I loved it. Such a fantastic story idea! A uniquely, magical experience. An enchanting tale! And it was very more-ish. The story itself would have deserved 5 stars…
But I had to deduct a star because there were sooooooo many mistakes. Maybe this isn’t fair of me, because I did read an early copy and the mistakes could be edited out by now, but there were so many! Or should I say ‘their were so many’. Or ‘they’re were so many’. I even had to turn automatic spell check off, because it wouldn’t let me write this! That’s the kind of errors that I found throughout the whole book. Whole instead of hole. Be for instead of before. Fair in square instead of fair and square. Read instead of red. I can’t imagine all the errors are edited out now, but if they are, I do apologize.
One other thing: please match the cover with the description. One of the first things mentioned is that Molly had chopped her long blond locks off! As beautiful as the cover is, it just doesn’t match up!
A cliffhanger at the end leaves me wanting more: I will definitely want the read the next installment! This is just the beginning of a fantastical journey.
This is an amazingly original version of some of my favorite fairy tales! I loved the sinister spin on the stories! I can’t wait to read more!
I’ve read about magical schools, mage schools, dragon schools, well this is one I have never come across.
All fairy tales are real and each princess & fairy tale protagonist was cursed by witches to pay for their father’s actions more than 200 years back. Back in the present time all these princess live in a secluded academy where they strive to find a way to break the curse.

This was great. The plot of the story was believable. Molly wasn’t sure she wanted to be there but eventually came around to help the girls. The characters were written so wonderfully. I cant wait to read the next chapter and see who goes next.

When Molly arrives at Everly Academy to work as a teacher to 10 teenage girls, the last thing she expects is to meet fairy tale characters who are cursed and she’s supposed to help break the curse. While the clock is ticking, Molly might be the key to unlocking the secrets behind the solution.
An original approach to classic fairytales characters. The plot is intriguing and well defined, and each character is like a piece of a puzzle, who when combined create the whole picture.
The book ends in a cliffhanger. I’m anxiously waiting for the next instrallment.

This was perfect. I loved the story. You need to find a way to break the curse before the time runs out. Oh yeah by the way – there are ten girls and we have five cure anyway – better see who will get them. What a way to foster enemies at the school. Of course I thought this was full of action, and twists that kept me on my toes which is what I love in a book. I can’t wait to see what will come up next.
The heroine of the story, Molly, is at a crossroads in her life. She’s recently been certified as a teacher, and her boyfriend has run off with her best friend. She’s not having much luck at a job fair until a mysterious woman offers her a position at a very exclusive school for young women. She is not told much detail but decides that this new challenge could be just what she needs to restart her life. She is whisked away to the school in a stagecoach, of all things–this is a contemporary story!
What surprises are in store for her at the school! She discovers that the students are being protected as well as they can be, but the clock is ticking on when harm will befall them. It is her job he tried to keep them safe, both from the curse and from each other, while trying to figure out solve the curse dilemma.
I enjoyed the mysterious beginning of this book. The prologue set the tone, giving the setup of why this school existed. It was clear that the headmistress of the school did not want to divulge much until she took Molly away to the school. Everly Academy is a place of secrets, lies, and double-crosses, which makes it a fascinating world to watch unfold.
If you enjoy stories about strange goings-on at a mysterious, mystical school, you might enjoy this gripping read.
