One Morning, I Woke Up And Realized I’d Lost It All: My Parents, My Hopes, My Life. Nothing Would Ever Be The Same. Following the death of my parents, I found myself attending Ridgeview Academy, a secret education facility reserved only for vampires and Halflings, those with only one vampire parent. The school bully caught up with me on the very first day, as if she could smell fear on me.Then … could smell fear on me.
Then three guys sparked up some possible romance!
But I wondered, what are they really after?
More importantly, could I trust any of them?
On the surface, it all looked nice, just like their manicured lawns and polite ways, but I could feel the darkness within the campus.
There was an unspeakable, blood-curdling evil present in Ridgeview Academy, and it was up to me to force it out into the light.

This is another great academy book to read. This is definitely one that should be on your to be read list. I loved the story and how it sucked me in. It starts of right in the thick of things. There is not a slow build to the story. At first you have all kinds of questions but it is quickly answered and just builds from there. You cannot help but fall in love with the main character Eva. There is a bit of mystery as well but that just helped build the suspense of the story. As you know Eva has been dealt a bad hand and has to deal with it all as best she could. Then all of sudden she is brought to a new school, one that she did not know of and learned that she is a halfling, part vampire/part human. She meets some pretty amazing guys and now she feels that she can start over with her life and be who she wants to be. I loved this book because the main character realizes the opportunity and makes the best of it. The relationships she forms with the guys is hot. There is a lot of revelations in the book and she finds out some shocking news. Eva is amazing with how she deals with everything.
This is a wonderful academy book and I cannot wait to see what is next by Lilly Wilder.

Academy books are my new guilty pleasure. It’s been eons since I was in school, so for me they are really exciting. Eva lost her parents in a car accident and she is going to her grandparents to finish school. She’s kidnapped and awakens in a school for vampires and half-bloods. Ooops, she didn’t know her dad was vampire. Her roommate, Bella, is a sweetheart and will help her navigate school drama. School bully has singled her out to torture. Something’s not right at the school, but she’s gonna find out. She has three guys more than willing to help her with everything. Dorian is popular, a jock, a player and smitten. Frey is a really nice guy, smart and makes her laugh. Sebastian is the bad boy, controlled and secretive. Eva and her guys begin a relationship and it will take all of them and Bella to live through it all. This is fast paced and full of action. Think vampires, shifters, magic and even demons. I recommend this book. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Great book!!!
This is the first Lilly’s book I have read and I really loved it!!!… I think it was a little rushed, mainly in the relationship between Eva and the guys, but it was still awesome!!!
Eva is an amazing FMC, strong, decided, she knows what she wants, loyal, looking to do the right thing for herself and everybody
Bella becomes an amazing best friend and thanks to her, Eva can deal with a lot of nasty things
The guys are amazing and so hot, they became Eva’s protectors, always looking for her well being
Love the story line, different from what I have read about vampires, totally recommended!!!
I loved this book. I was hooked from the very beginning. Eva lost her parents and instead of mourning she is wisked to a secret academy for the paranormal. There are questions that she needs answered and so did I. Eventually they all got answered. Not only is she trying to come to terms with the fact she lost her parents, she is in a new school, but now the normal school experience is happing all the while she has to figure out what is going on at the school.
I couldn’t put this book down. From start to finish. my questions were answered. I didn’t want to put it down. My emotions and thoughts and the need to finish the book was on high alert that I ignored everything just to finish the book. I was not disappointed and look forward to many other in this series and by this author.
What an amazing book! The plot sucks you in from the start and you can’t help but wanting to find out what comes next. Eva has to move with her grandparents and change schools after her parents die. While there secrets are revealed, one being that her father was a vampire. This book really has absolutely everything needed for a fantastic read, mystery, action, secrecy, drama, and intrigue. The characters are well defined, complex and realistic. I definitely recommend this bo
It is a shame that adult content spoils what would have been a five-star YA book which takes a long day to read. I read an ARC and this voluntary review is my own opinion.
This is my first book by Lily Wilder and I was impressed with a great story. It has a great collection of characters with amazing personalities that become even stronger as the story proceeds. The support characters are beautifully developed and add a wonderful element to the story. It is well written and the flow of the story is superb. The story has a lot of suspense, drama, and mystery with twists and turns throughout it. It keeps you glued to your seat wondering what is going to happen. It is definitely worth reading and doesn’t disappoint.
A rather enjoyable read, with plenty of twists and turns.
Starts off hard for the main character but half way through she gets her reward.
Interesting collection of partners for her too.
This is one of my favorite authors and she has not let me down with this one.
