I loved this story. It was a major mystery wrapped in history and magic that highlighted a mass of new information for Madison and her friends to discover and process. Each time they were convinced they had made headway another complication reared it’s head for them to find a solution and move forward. I loved the hints of involvement for various people some of which I would expect to not be involved and some who definitely will be involved. There were plenty of surprises, twists and turns as they navigated the mysteries and information that they discovered along the way. They clearly had a way forward by the end of the story I just hoped that they would manage to survive everything that was coming at them and find out what to do next. Well written it was very enjoyable.

This is the third installment in the Academy of the Damned series and I can’t wait to read the next! Following Madison as she learns more about her own powers and the incredibly evil goings on at La Voisin Academy still keep me on the literal edge of my seat. It has swept me into the story and I feel involved with the main characters. Great writing and story telling!

“You’re like a starving dog with a bone,” Jaxon says. “Once you get your teeth into something, you never let go, no matter how stupid or dangerous.”- Jaxon
Madison is stymied… And terrified. Visions of Damon, the statue man, reveals there’s something malevolent going on at La Voisin….
Ivy makes a shocking discovery, one that spurs Madison to renew her investigation into Zoey’s disappearance; when Madison, Ivy and Krista return to the archives for further research, the locked door is no deterrent, but what they find definitely is…
“In all honesty, you shouldn’t have been able to do that.” – Ivy
The more Madison and her friends search, the deeper the mystery… Shocking revelations, discoveries of unknown strength and abilities, the merest whispers that what they have been taught is NOT the entire truth… And the sense that precious time is spilling away, never to be regained.
An ancient evil is stirring… And it has Madison and her friends in its sights…
An intriguing tale, with unexpected plot twists and surprises! Thoroughly enjoyable!
Crown of Blood is the best of the series yet, and the series is not even over! The twists and turns at La Voisin are getting better and better. Our girl is in deep, and the friendships she has with those around her are on thin ice. The mystery of her roommates disappearance and the moving statues has taken on a whole new level of crazy, and now shes been attacked by someone she thought she could trust, someone who wants her to stop trying to wake them all. This book delves deeper into the history of witches, and the true nature of our FMC. I loved the continued plot twists, and truly was blindsided by several turns in this book. I cannot wait until book 4. I need to know what’s next.
If you havent started this series yet, I highly recommend you do so NOW!
