Welcome to CrystalWing Academy, where the magical Elite reign…and Outlings are an endangered species.Magic doesn’t exist in the human world. As far as I know. But when I fling a fireball at a bully, my horrified Mom dumps me at CrystalWing Academy, a place straight out of my favorite fantasy books.They tell me I’m an Outling, a wizard born from non-magical parents. Mom’s human. Dad? I don’t … Mom’s human. Dad? I don’t exactly know who he is….
One thing I do know is I’m not an Elite–descendants of the original six families who split from the Fae ages ago. At seventeen, their children and despised Outlings like me attend the Academy to learn to control our power.
I’m barely on campus when I’m targeted by a mean girl. Figures. Thankfully, the Academy’s not all bad. My pixie roommate’s awesome. I score a coveted moonstone during Stone Selection. And let’s not forget Donovan, a hot guy who seems to like me, not the mean Elite girl who’s determined to win him.
Except something’s luring students into the forest and draining their power, leaving only shriveled husks behind.
The Headmistress warns me not to investigate, but the killer’s after my friends. Big mistake there. My magical skills may be untrained and wild, but if a power-sucking vamp thinks he can harm people I care about, he’s about to discover I’m a wizard unlike any other.
An exciting new world for Potter fans, filled with magic, suspense, a badass heroine, and flirty romance.
Outling is the first book in the young adult CrystalWing Academy series. Books two and three will be released this fall. This book is 71,000 words.

Crystal Wing is a good book and the start to I feel a good series. I did find it a little slow going, but I still wanted to continue reading. I enjoyed the budding relationship and mystery to be solved. I can’t wait to see what is waiting for Fluer in the next two books.
Fleur Caldwell is dumped at CrystalWing Academy when her mother deems her magic too much to handle. Seven years later she returns to finally learn about her magic and herself.
I absolutely adored this book. I found the writing to be very funny and the unique word usage to be witty. I was laughing almost the entire way through. This book is also well written and I love the storyline. In many ways, it is a fairly typical academy book with a love interest and mean girl but in other ways, I find this story truly unique. If you at all enjoy Academy books you should definitely give CrystalWing Academy a chance. I can’t wait to see what comes next!!
This is definitely going to be an awesome series!
I honestly read this in one sitting. It’s so interesting and definitely makes me an even bigger fan of Academy books!
The main character Fleur is so cool! I felt so much pity for her in the beginning of this story. But because of her past she is stronger and able to deal with being at the Academy. Being seen as different and inferior because she’s an Outling. But she has so much potential and a lot of power yet to be seen. And not to mention Donovan her hot crush… who is also super kick ass but with secrets. Which only adds to his appeal. I am so shipping those two! I can’t express how good this story is. There’s so much twists and surprises! It felt as if I was watching a movie when reading it. Really good!! And I can’t wait to find out what happens next!!! All The characters are great! I adore Patty!!!
Totally Looking forward to learning more. As well as finding out who Alex really is as well as more of the mysterious forest creature which I won’t say what it is but it’s definitely super COOL!!! Highly recommend this as a must read.
Fleur was taken to CrystalWing Academy when she was just 10 years old for causing harm to another person. Her mother signed her rights off and left her with no explanation. Fleur was then sent to stay with someone until she was able to enter the academy at 17.
The time has finally arrived for her to go the academy, the last seven years has not been easy for her. It made her into a stronger person. She meets a Donovan and hits it right of with her. But there is a mean girl that wants him as well. She has a room mate she connects with right off the bat. There is someone drained a student of there power, who is it. Can they keep the students safe, is Fleur safe.
Fleur will need her powers to survive what ever is going on at this academy. They headmistress and others seem to know a lot more than what they are saying. Who is calling Fleur out to the woods? What is Donovan and what secrets are they keeping. Who are the 6th family of the original covens, why will no one talk about.
There is so much going on in this book, it grabs your attention. There ar a lot of great plots going in this book, so many questions. That I am looking forward to see where book 2 will take Fleur and see if we will get some answers in regards to some characters.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
