Introductions — Book 1
With an agoraphobic mother and a barely-there father, Sang Sorenson abhors the isolation keeping … Sang Sorenson abhors the isolation keeping her in the shadows. What she craves is a fresh start and to be accepted as ordinary, 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, each nearly perfect in every way. Grateful for an 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 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 they’ve sworn allegiance to. Bit by bit, Sang discovers her friends are far from what she’d 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.
First Days — Book 2
As a new student to Ashley Waters High School, Sang Sorenson hopes her new friends will be the change she’s been craving and will make fitting in a breeze.
But Academy students aren’t there to take it easy at the overcrowded school rife with violence. When fights begin, Sang will uncover the true reason the boys traded in their private school lives for public ones.
This year, Sang will no longer be invisible. This year, Sang is a target.
The principal and vice principal are hot to take Sang down, and her own mother is determined to entrap Sang forever in her belief that the safest place to be is in the shadows. Despite this, Nathan, Luke, Kota, North, Silas, Victor, and Gabriel will discover Sang’s unyielding loyalty. And they will sorely need it.
The Academy, supremely influential.

I couldn’t stop reading. I am anxiously awaiting more of this series.
Intriguing plot that keeps you wanting to read more. Characters come to life. TOO MUCH on the tingly feelings side of life. Plot moves very, very slowly. After reading a few books it progressed very little. Less breathy scenes and move the plot along at a faster rate, then it would be a great series.
Wish I could read them all right now they made me smile and forget about my situation taking care of my mom who has Alzheimer’s
I could not put this down! It’s such a different storyline with interesting characters. The plot twists make you want to keep reading. The underlying emotions are a little unexpected and unsettling and I’m just not sure where it’s heading. I guess I won’t get any sleep as I start to read the next book in this crazy series!
Even though this is a YA book, it can be very entertaining to read. All the many main characters possess interesting personalities. My only complaint is the extreme length of time it takes for the next book to come out (it is a series).
Hard to put down
Love the set and plan on reading the rest as soon as I can! The author really grabs you and brings you into the story!
This series is wonderful.
I am really enjoying this series. It’s mysteriously enticing! I can’t put it down! Definitely recommend!:)
Love this series.
Greatly enjoyed this book and this entire series!
