Fans of Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Supernatural – get ready to dive into a world where magic is powerful, clever witches rule the world, and vampires lurk in the darkness.It was an otherwise normal Tuesday when I found out that I’m not alone in the universe.At 2:05, my grandmother vanished, taken by vampires I didn’t know existed.At 3:30, my aunt showed up to explain how the … showed up to explain how the world really operates.
By 5:00, I was on my way to Hybrid Academy: a school for people like me.
At 7:30, I was walking into my dorm for the first time and discovered that Hybrid Academy isn’t so unlike high school. There are the popular witches, the dreamy warlocks, the shy magicians, and yes, even the shifters.

I really enjoyed reading the Hybrid Academy series. This is book 1 which I read in a series collection. The series and characters are well written and developed. A really great series that I highly recommend reading.

ONE THRILLING EXPERIENCE!!!
Fantastic! Mortimer brought down the house with this engaging little gem. Producing well rounded scenario’s so intense you feel the pulse racing, electrifying hum running rampant through your viens. Mortimer ropes every emotion you have spinning a vortex that draws you in so deeply, your only focus is on this gem playing out before you. Twisted, twinned and put through the wringer, stretched to unbelievable limits, riveted on a razors edge. The skepticism, difficulty, drama, loss, danger and suspense surges as tension spirals thrusting this bad boy to life beautifully. Hurdling the trials and tribulations with a slew of plot twists, sharp turns and thin lines fusing this baby together piece by piece. The characters are realistic, intriguing and authentic with just enough flaws to add diversity. The scenes are so vividly detailed it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Fantastic job Mortimer, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Caught in a world that she was not prepared for, Max is unbelievably brave and strong. Despite being a loner, she trusted her instinct and made great friends. Fiercely loyal, she faced whatever life threw at her with all her heart. It was exciting to follow her all she learned and found out more about who she is.

Wow, I could not stop reading. This book had my interest from the moment that I started reading it. It moves along at a nice pace, has interesting characters and a story that will not let you down. This is a must read, no doubt about it.
I liked the premise of Hybrid Academy and where it was going. Maxine never asked her grandmother any questions and they kept to themselves. I thought it was odd that Max just went along with never questioning anything. I appreciate that the story didn’t drown in details but there were areas that probably could have been expanded. The lead up to Max going to the Academy and her interaction with others at the Academy were great plotting for setting up the major highpoint of the story. I felt that it was rushed at the end after that. The story just jumped through when the beginning was detailed and built up to it. Seeing as this was only Year One and there are still at least Year 2 & 3, there is hope that there will be more detailing and experiences with Max and her friends.
Max has lived with her Mémère in a small town since her parent died mysteriously. She is a hybrid, a half-witch and half-shifter. They live a quiet and secluded life. Max has been taught magic but she cannot use it nor can she shift into her wolf. She has a familiar, like all witches, a cat named Mr. Boo.
Coming home from work after a hard day being fired or quitting (it was a little of both), Max finds her small house ransacked and Mémère missing. She grabs all the essential papers, spell book and Mr. Boo.
Her Aunt Erin shows up and takes her to a supernatural school called Hybrid Academy. A school/college for supernatural beings of mixed heritage. Max makes friends for the first time. She learns to stand up for herself and others. Gaining confidence, she learns magic.
There are good witches and bad witches. Max learns a secret about her familiar. At the end of her first year, Max feels her Mémère, may still be alive and wants to try to find her.
We shall have to see what is instore for Max and her friends in year two.
Sheltered all her life, now Maxine has a chance to find her place in the world.
Since her parents disappeared 10 years ago, Maxine has been sheltered by her grandmother. They have been hidden in a cabin deep in the woods in a small rural town. Max comes from a magic family, but at nineteen she has no magical abilities. She comes home one day and her cabin is destroyed, and her grandmother gone. Her Aunt Erin, who she hasn’t seen in 10 years, appears and says her grandmother is dead and Maxine is in danger. Her solution? To enroll Maxine in an academy for hybrids (people with two supernatural abilities). But Max’s only goal is to find her grandmother because she doesn’t thinks she’s dead. But Erin spirits her away to the academy and there Max finally finds friends and some magical ability. But surprises are in store for her. And is there a correlation between the disappearance of her parents 10 years ago and her grandmother’s disappearance. And why does she suddenly have magical ability?
