With an agoraphobic mother and a barely-there father, Sang abhors the isolation keeping her in the shadows. The only thing Sang craves is a fresh start and to be accepted as ordinary by her peers, because for her being different meant being cast out alone.When her family moves to a new school district, Sang infiltrates a group of boys nearly perfect in every way. Grateful for an influence outside … influence outside of her parents’ negativity, she quickly bonds with the boys, hoping to blend in and learn from them what it means to have a natural relationship with friends.
Only the boys have secrets of their own and they’ll do anything to keep her safe from the knowledge of the mysterious Academy that they’ve sworn allegiance to. Bit by bit, Sang discovers that her friends are far from the normalcy she expected. Will her loyalty change when she’s forced to remain in the dark, or will she accept that she’s traded one house of secrets for another?
Meet Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke and North in a story about differences and loyalty, truth and mystery, friendships and heart-throbbing intimacy.
The Academy, ever vigilant.

Gets you hooked on he series trying to figure out what the Academy is and how Sang, the heroine, fits in to this group of mysterious boys and their teachers
From the very first page I was hooked!
This book, accurately named, introduces us to the 12-book-and-counting series of Stone’s Academy Ghost Bird.
This series is rather unlike any I’ve read before. There is so much going on, it seems like it would be hard to keep up, but instead I constantly found myself pulled into the world of Sang (main character) and the Academy guys she meets. …
I really liked this book. Ready for the next one.
I love this book so much . I had to buy the rest of the series. Ive been read them no stop
I had no idea I was reading a reverse harem or what one was until I read this. When I got to the end of book 4, I said, heck no! And stopped. Up to that point, I liked the book and if you are into this new sub-genre, I say go for it.
I am reading the second group of Academy books…can’t put it down! I am hours into reading these adventures and don’t want the story to end….Wonderful!!
Not a stand alone story. Part of a series. Interesting characters, but not much has happened yet
It’s a very interesting book and look forward to continuing the series…
LOVED this book. Read it very quickly and promptly bought all the others in the series that have been released.
this book is about secrets, hidden agencies and more. I could not believe how well the author wrote in the present of factors based into today’s realities while surrounding the story in a landscape of fantasy so integrally woven into the storyline you will wonder is this possible? or just a dream? maybe it could work? This is the first time I …
I loved it. I would read the sequels, but I’m a great- grandmother and there are too many.
Absolutely can’t put this series down. I wake up thinking about it and read until I go to bed!
It just got interesting and it ended. I think it should have had more substance before having to go to the sequel.
This series was great. The characters were engaging and the story line was compelling. I was so enthralled I bought the next 7 books in the series.
I totally enjoyed it. Surprises always work for me !
Loved it, can’t wait for the next one!
Did not appreciate the ending!
This was a unique series starter. It is not a stand alone book, if you like the first book you will want to get the next 11 books of the series and there is still more books that will be added on.
This series has a large cast of centeral characters and the first book sets up the premise and the basic background of the story. It’s a story about a …
I’m really torn on this book and this series. I love the guys, their characters really tug at your heart. But I really couldn’t connect with Sang. I want to feel sorry for her but she is just so clueless and I don’t like how she leads each of the guys on. And the plot line drags out too slowly.
