Finding out I was a Shadow Walker was enough to send me running for the hills–or at least the asylum. But thanks to my friends, I accepted that I was a freak, one of the most evil creatures to walk the earth.But I wouldn’t let that define me.That was until people started killing themselves, and it was up to me to try to stop whatever Demons were hiding in Night Shade Academy.But in doing that, I … Academy.
But in doing that, I had to leave the safety of NSA and seek the one thing that would ensure Orson Reeves, the original Shadow Walker, would remain exactly where he was.
Of course nothing was what it seems, and I was left reeling from so many truths.
None of which was more confronting than the moment I met my new familiar who just so happened to be the first of its kind, and could be the key to stopping Reeves once and for all.

Night Shade Academy – 2 by Kelly Carrero is an amazing story that I have read. This is book number two in this amazing series that I have loved reading since book number one and can not wait to see what comes next. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about magic.

We have suspense, mystery, and more. Everyone is scared of Zalia, because she is a Shadow Walker. She has a hard time accepting her dark side. she has two familiars, but does not know what one is yet. The Black feathers are turning up again, but why? Can she figure it out? Can she truly accept her dark side? Can she learn everything she needs to? Will her friends and sister be safe? Will they stand by her? What does her parents think? She has to find a stone can she do it? Why is she the only one to see the demon slim?

Holy— what a cliffhanger man I can’t believe how the book ends. After waiting such a long time to read this book it feels like nothing compared to the torture of waiting for the next one.. My first books series by Kelly and I am so glad that I found this series. Her writing is just amazing and the story is a page turner full of action and romance, also don’t forget mysterious!! I can’t wait to read the next book to find out what happens after the end and also looking forward to more Hunter and Zalia… so excited

Let’s get to it…So I finished this book yesterday, and I loved that cliffhanger. I know, I know, I’m crazy…but it really worked. Like don’t get me wrong I want the answers badly but it was good in the way it went out…because it seriously leaves you hanging on, and it’ll make you want to read more…which is kinda the point with cliffy’s haha.
I really enjoyed a lot about this book but the one thing that probably is at the top of that list, was the growth in Zalia. This book to me was more about self-discovery and learning to embrace all of who you are…regardless of how people look at you. She learns that it’s up to her who she is and just because there is a darkness inside her doesn’t mean its bad. Which is what her friends tell her. They trust her, and know who she is and are never afraid of her. She has found her tribe in this book! Friendships for the win!
This is really what this book was about to me. Zalia finding her place in the world. While also learning more about herself.
I found it really hard rating this book…because I’ve been in and out of book-hangovers…and you guys know what that’s like. It was a book that although had stuff happening (I’ll expand on that soon), it didn’t hold the intensity level of some of the books I’ve read of late. I enjoyed what I read for sure and I think if you loved the first one you’ll love this one even more because I certainly did! The story plot really grows in this book and I enjoyed watching it unravel; I may have just wanted it to expand a bit more though. I know I’m demanding lol.
So with this book, we are on a crazy road. Demons are on the loose…remember from that sacrifice that happened in the dungeon thingie? Yeah well 37 (yes I kid you not), demons have come through and everything is going crazy at Night Shade Academy (NSA). And guess who they are all blaming? Yep there anger is all on Zalia. People, lack of understanding and fear don’t mix well. And literally everything that is going wrong they automatically presume its the big bad Shadow Walker!
But being the good little Shadow Walker that she is Zalia is determined to save everyone…and her friends are right there alongside her even if sometimes it all comes down to her and letting loose some crazy power.
So as I said, lots of demons have escaped from the other realm and it seems one has attached itself to someone at NSA. The goal is to find that person and bring them down quietly…so as not to alert anyone. Since well, there are people that are definitely playing the betraying game. But the problem is, in the meantime, people are dying and its all part of the whole ‘let’s sidetrack you while we plan something evil’ go-to…and while that is good for the bad people…it’s not so good for us.
The whole ‘bad guy plan’ has basically stayed the same. Remember Reeves? yeah the Shadow Walker. They want to bring him out of the Demon realm…and that’s really bad. To stop this from happening, Zalia is trying to learn as much as she can devouring book after book and practicing and working on her abilities. And let me tell you they are off the charts!!
With the help of her friends and Bethany, they come up with a plan. The only problem is that not all plans work out how you expected.
Will everything be put on the line and will Zalia be able to embrace her true self and let it loose to save everyone she cares about?
This is a story about accepting who you are and owning every piece of it. It really is an incredible story about growth and with Zalia’s friends by her side she starts to see that she is not a monster…regardless of what others say or think.
I loved the characters in this story and loved the development of their friendship. It shows that no matter your species, friendship knows no bounds. I love Kayla, her twin, I think her spunky no filter ways really adds that something extra to the story. Truly all these guys just compliment each other.
Now to get to the part I can never ignore. You remember Hunter? How could you forget him? Sigh. I love the relationship that is being formed between these two. It’s slow, but I appreciate how a stronger friendship is being formed first. They both know that they are made for each other, but at the same time, it’s not focused on them much as a couple. Personally, I would’ve liked to see a stronger bond grow but there is still time for that 😀 …they just didn’t reach the spot I was hoping for….having said that though I do love their relationship. They are perfect for each other!
What more can I say really? Not much lol coz my brain is shutting down a little bit so let’s wrap it up.
Thanks Kelly for an amazing book to read! I really enjoyed reading this story and am excited to see where it leads. It was such an easy book to fall into the world created. I loved so much about it and can’t wait for them all to kick some more butt!
That’s all…Happy Readings
I had a great time with book 2 the characters continue to entertain with a smooth flowing storyline that had me turning the pages wanting to know what was gonna happen next.

Well, this is the second book in the series and packs just as much of a punch. Zalia has found herself the punching bag of yet another mystery related to those darn demons…37 to be exact! She has been voluntold to help figure you what the demons are up to now before more people are injured. It’s a thankless job for this Shadow Walker but you better watch out you might just learn what dark magic is all about! Excited to dive into the next book in this series!

Wow! This was a fantastic story! Zalia has grown in character, but is still afraid of what she is. Not that I blame the poor girl, I would probably feel the same.
The characters in this story are rich and fun, the storyline and plot are dangerous and thrilling and the fascinating world building is just a great backdrop to this incredible series!
I can’t get enough, I need the next book now, please!
Fast paced and thrilling! I really enjoyed this second installment full of new discoveries and creeping darkness that threatens everything. And ah the cliffhanger at the end is killing me! I can’t wait for more.
A shadowy read!
People started killing themselves, and it was up to her to try to stop whatever Demons were hiding in Night Shade Academy…
A fantastic, thrilling follow up to the first novel. Highly impressive writing and story. After the way it ended, I can’t wait for the next book! So impatient for it.
Highly intoxicating read that will keep you on your toes.
Full of light and dark witches, vampires, lycans, magic, demons, secrets, love and family.
Perfect for readers of paranormal romances.
