I survived my first semester at the Academy of Unpredictable Magic. Apparently, the universe took that as a challenge… to participate in the Inter-academy Trials, the entire school will be in the spotlight.
As if trying to sort out my feelings for the four insanely gorgeous men who all want to date me wasn’t enough, now I’m juggling magical games, deadly plots, unexpected allies, and notoriety I never asked for.
All right, second semester. Do your worst.
Trials is the second book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series, a medium-burn reverse harem story intended for ages 18+, featuring a badass chick and the four sexy men who fall in love with her.

Trials by Sadie Moss is a medium-burn paranormal academy reverse harem romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Sarah Puckett. This is the second book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series.
This series just keeps getting better and better. Sadie always does a great job pulling me into the story. I really enjoyed the inter-academy trials that Elliot had to participate it. I was hooked and couldn’t wait to see what she would be put through next.
I really enjoyed the relationship blooming between Elliot, Cam, Asher, Roman, and Dimitri. I love that Elliot may have four men in her life but they support her and let her be the strong independent woman that she is.
I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series Thief so I can get more of Elliot and her men’s story.
Sarah did an amazing job on the narration! I love that she uses different voices/tones for each character. It really brings the story to life.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romances, academy romances, or reverse harems.

Loved the whole series
Book two in this thrilling paranormal reverse harem romance series was intense. I found myself unable to stop listening so many times, no matter how much the outside world called to me. I was happy to see the relationship between Elliot and her men progress. And the way it was done was perfect. Not everything needs to go at the same pace with everyone. The way this was done seemed more likely, and totally enjoyable. The inter-academy games was a really good plot point and was well written. The ending was quite a nail biter and has me desperate for book three.
Sarah Puckett was once again fantastic in this story. She continues to bring great tonal range and emotion to the characters and I look forward to continuing this series with her.
Elliot hasn’t had the experience with her powers and was unable to control them at the same level of her classmates.
She won the competition to represent her school in the Trials between the other Magic schools, She felt she wasn’t good enough. Always there to protect her was her boys. Their relationship continues to grow stronger, also with Roman. This story is full of action, suspense.
Sarah Puckett as always us a wonderful narrator. She captured the emotions and brought the story to life. I enjoyed listening to this sexy, action-packed, suspenseful story.

Yay for Book 2! I was eager to start it after finishing book 1, and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoy getting to more about the guys and how their relationship with Elliot develops more, even though she is still afraid of getting herself into a relationship, she´s opening herself a little more and letting them in.
The trials were really great, and frustrating at the same time. I love seeing how her guys always have her back and how she didn’t back up even when all of the odds were against her. I honestly didn’t see that ending coming. Now I can’t wait for book 3.
The narration was perfect, just as with book 1. Sarah Puckett delivers a great performance with her different voices, her tone, paced, and the way she makes you feel everything the characters are experiencing.

I am really enjoying this series, not a lot of bad things to say at all. It kept my attention, it was fun, had tons of action, sexy time, and tension. I think in terms of story I would put it at a 4.5 stars, just because I liked book 1 more and that was a 5 stars for me. I think the MC needed to bring down her walls a bit and not be so stubborn, that was my only gripe. Like I wanted to shake her sometimes with these trials or her thoughts leading up to it. It was part of the story and made her accomplishments that much more impressive, just a personal preference I think. I loved the different trials (except the ring thing haha), especially the escape room haha. Reminded me of some awesome times with my buddies. I loved some of the things that happened between Elliott and her guys. You can see things really starting to develop. The powers aspect of this series is really fun too!!
Narration was totally on point again! Sarah just keeps getting better and better with each audiobook in this series (and ones I listen to in general). She really brings these characters to life. I like that I forget she does the male voices, which only a couple female narrators can do for me. Phenomenal job yet again! Definitely recommend. On to book 3
This starts out right offer the winter break in the last book. It’s pretty self explanatory with that title. The trials are pretty cool and Interesting. They are well thought out and fun to listen to. Makes me want my own magic to do fun things like that. There is also a terrible person(s) trying to stop Elliott from competing.
We get to see more movement in the roommate and Roman catagory. This is a reverse harem, don’t forget. There are quite a few H-O-T and sexy times so keep a fan handy.
Overall I loved how the story is moving along and the characters are becoming more. I did listen to this on audio and Sarah Puckett is a joy to listen to!
I love the characters in this series, they are all have such diverse magic and personal characteristics that its hard not to get emotionally involved.
Elliott and her friends find another term at the academy if full of trials and drama!!
Action packed and emotionally charged.
Highly recommended!
4.5 stars for Trials by Sadie Moss. This is book 2 in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series. This book picks up right where book 1 left us. Elliot, Dmitri, Asher, Cam and Roman are all back after saving the school. The relationship between Elliot and Roman is getting deeper, but she knows she wants the others too. However, can she really be shared. “Can I really trust any of these guys to stick around and mean it.” While, the relationship between Elliot and the guys is a big part of the book it is really about the Trials. Elliot must learn to control her magic in order to compete in the trials. She is the one chosen to represent the school in the trials. She is faced with many obstacles. “If you don’t haver faith in yourself, then I’ll have it for you.” I am loving this series, and I am starting book 3 now.

Trials
Academy of Unpredictable Magic, Book 2
By: Sadie Moss
Narrated by: Sarah Puckett
This is a great book and I loved everything about it, from Sadie Moss’s writing style to the storylines and characters she created to the wonderful narration performed by Sarah Puckett. This book brings us to Elliot’s second semester at the Academy of Unpredictable Magic. The Unpredictables have always been frowned upon by the magical community, but after last semester’s incident that may be changing. They have been invited to participate in a competition with the other schools of Magic and they will be hosting the event. The best students from each school participate in these trials, each challenge is kept secret until the day of the competition. A great concept and way for the unpredictables to be recognized by others. I love how the relationship between Elliot, Asher, Cam and Dmitri continues to develop things are starting to heat up for them. Also love their protectiveness of her and her relationship with Roman, which is smoking. He has a great perspective on the other guys in her life too. This is an action packed book, there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, twists, angst, thrilling suspenseful moments that brings you to the edge of your seat as well as some hot romance. Sadie Moss, thank you for another great story & series, I am looking forward to what comes next for these wonderful characters.
I listened to the Audible edition, Sarah Puckett is an awesome narrator and voice performer. She continues to bring these characters and their story to life. She give each their own unique voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. I love her portrayal of these characters, her Elliott was spot on, badass with moments of vulnerability. Also love her male voices and how different each sound, making it easy to follow the characters. Sarah is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
Thank you @AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
What an opener! The first chapter really grabs you with a hot steamy scene. The characters are great and I feel like I can relate with Elliott (girl). The sexual chemistry is off the charts throughout the story with a few more great scenes. She has to face multiple challenges and her strength shines through. We find out more about the guys as well in this audiobook. I am hooked on this series and can’t wait to start the next book! The narrator is a real pro and I love listening to her work.

Trials: Academy of Unpredictable Magic
Five Stars
Trials is the second book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series by Sadie Moss. This book begins where Spark left off and is even better than the first book. This series should be read in order to get the full background of all of the characters. Elliot is a strong woman who has the perfect men to back her up. This series is packed with action and adventure and I can’t wait to listen/read the next book in the series.
Sarah Puckett is fast becoming one of my favorite female narrators. She really bought the characters to life and made the book flow seamlessly.
I would highly recommend this book and series.

The Magical Olympics With Bigotry!!
(Read using Kindle Unlimited)
This book wasn’t as tense, phew. It was filled with cheating bigots though!!Ggrrr
All of the Academy’s student’s are informed that for the first time ever, Griffin Academy is being allowed to take part in the Magical Trials. They’re an annual competition between all of the 7 pillars of magic. One competitor from each pillar is chosen to compete for all of their Academies. Of course Unpredictable Magic only has one academy & they aren’t one of the 7 pillars either The Headmaster opens up a mini combat trial, that the entire school can enter, the winner will be their Competitor!!
Throughout the Trials Elliot is drawn closer to Cam & Asher, they even hook up! She’s still seeing Roman when she can. Her work load & magical catch up is really dragging her down though. She’s running herself ragged both emotionally & physically! She explores at Roman after class & admits she thinks she thinks she might be losing her magic Demitri overheard as he’s walking in the classroom – he’s not happy!! Together, the dominant men sandwich Elliot between them & make her squirm Its such a hot but emotive scene!!
During the Trials it’s apparent that the Griffin Competitor is being sabotaged! Elliot, Ash & Cam overhear two Administrators from other Academies discussing stopping an unpredictable from winning!! As the Trials progress the danger becomes greater & more deadly!!
This book has an explosive ending I’m looking forward to book #3

This book is HOT!! There are some seriously sexy scenes. The story is the best part though. The Academy of Unpredictable magic has been asked to compete in a competition. When Elliot become the competitor for their academy big things start to happen. She is struggling to learn her magic in time. There are people against them and she will fight to win. I like how things are really heating up with the guys as she is starting to give into her feelings. I love this series.
This series gets better with every book. Its a fantastic read. Its fast paced, heart pounding action, and a real page turner. The Academy has been invited to host the trials so the whole school will be on Spotlight. The Author has done a fantastic job at bringing out the Characters and theres humor as well. And the Surroundings and the built of the book, is great as well. I definitely recommend this read.
