This is the third book in the Spellcrest Academy series and I loved it! Grabs your attention right from the beginning of the book. Is full of twists and turns, fast paced, action packed and romance. I cannot say enough about this book and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!!
I really,really like this series so freaking much and I can not get enough of this story. The characters, Maeve has a lot on her plate to deal with including the Sewn Man again. Just really like it and the action in this one.
Crystallize Is a great suspenseful read. Kept me interested throughout and I had a hard time putting my kindle down. The story is very well written and characters are well developed. A great series that I recommend reading.

Freshman year ends in an unexpected way for Maeve, Razielle, Nym, Ivanic, Bree, Sarah, Erik, Devon, and the rest of Spellcrest. Book 3 picks up where 2 finished. Maeve deals with on going family and school issues. Answers are finally revealed. And new questions lead us into sophomore year.
A well written ending that leaves you wondering what else is in store for our favorite characters. A great weekend read. Couldn’t put it down.
Received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
We have suspense, betrayal, the unknown and love. Maeve is back with having to fight Tarquin, but how can she beat him? Will Quin and Guy be able to help her train for the fight? What is her mother really up to? Why did Devon betray her? Can she ever forgive him? What is the Headmistress up to now? Can she keep her friends safe? Can she live through all of this fighting? Can she ever forgive her brother? Why does everyone lie to her?

Crystallize is sort of the last book in this series. I say sort of because we have reached the end of the school year. However, the next school year is coming up in Book four of Spellcrest Academy. And another ‘however’ this book has a very satisfying ending, no cliffhanger, yay! Maeve again faces many challenges in this third book. Very exciting and action packed. Lots of surprises! You’ll be getting whiplash trying to keep up. Also, Mr. Pierce has written in a very gory part having to do with spiders in all different shapes and sizes. Yuck! It was interesting to see how Maeve and fellow fighters got themselves out of that one. Through all of the challenges she faces, she has become stronger not only physically but mentally as well. Very inspiring. This was one of the best of the three books, I think. Well worth the read. Can’t wait to read book four which will start out at the beginning of the next semester. I can easily recommend this read.
This series keeps getting better with book. This book starts exactly where the “Crestfallen” ended. Maeve has escaped Kicryria with her Mother an Quin. Maeve had fought with Tarquin, who is now in possession of Maeve’s Steamstress needle, had also killed Otis, who turns out to be Quin’s father. Maeve is now hiding her Mother, Finley an Quin in her room. And trying to keep the reappearance of the newcomers from Devon.
The main plot from this book is to defend Spellcrest Academy from the inevitable attack from Tarquin and his army. That means Maeve has to let Headmistress Christi know about her Mother’s resurrection so that her Mother could obtain a time served status for her crimes for supplying information and helping to defeat Tarquin. To that end, they need to work with the Headmistress and Spellcrest Academy’s security to beef up the protection spell surrounding the Academy as well as help make the Academy and security forces to help make sure that the Academy survives Tarquin’s attack.
Unfortunately, the Headmistress is not convinced that an attack is pending and even more skeptical about working with Maeve and her Mother. Therefore, she requires that the three of them sign a Crystal Contract stating that Maeve and her Mother will help the Academy in regards to the upcoming attack, recover the Seamstress Needle and turn the needle over to the Headmistress. The Headmistress is determined that Maeve NOT get her needle back so Maeve has to agree to forfeit her right to the needle. Instead , the Seamstress Council will determine who should get the Seamstress Needle.I
The Crystal Contract will ensure that happens and if there is any attempt to break the contract, that person will immediately be crystallized. The ceremony involved is very interesting. Something you will have to read the book to find out the details.
There are other plotlines dealing with Maeve’s relationship not only with her family but Devon and the other inhabitants of the Academy. I especially enjoy Maeve and Devon’s interaction. I like them as a couple and I am rooting for their relationship to survive the many obstacles they face.
I was given an ARC ebook to read and give an honest review. I really love these books but wish they were longer. Thankfully, there hasn’t been a,long wait time between books.
