First Infraction
Wendi L. Wilson - 2020
Don’t make any enemies. And whatever you do, never let them see your wings.I’ve lived my whole life in a gilded cage, protected by my family but never able to show my true face to the world. So I did what any rebellious, hot-blooded teenage faery would do—I tricked them all and took off to live my own adventure.Too bad it ended in murder.Now I’m locked up inside the walls of Oberon Faery Reformatory, where no one knows my true identity. Well, almost no one.A note written by an anonymous author, calling me out for who I really am, wrecks my plans for escaping this awful place. Because if it gets out that Princess Aurora Finley Oberon was locked up for murder and has been Glamouring her true appearance her whole life, it could ruin the cohesive world my parents have worked so hard to build.So, until I figure out who wrote this note and neutralize the threat, I have to stay here. I have to keep my true self hidden, which means no one can see my power or my wings—both of which would be a dead giveaway that I’m not the normal faery I appear to be.I also have to keep my mind off a certain smoking-hot inmate with a huge chip on his shoulder who seems determined to knock me off my proverbial throne. Asher calls me Princess, like it’s the ultimate insult. If he only knew…There’s something off about this place and the archaic faery who created it.

Demigods Academy Box Set - The Complete Series
Elisa S. Amore - 2020
A Young Adult Urban Fantasy saga full of magic, mythology, and adventures. On their eighteenth birthday, everyone in the world receives a Shadowbox—a magic box that is a gift like no other… because it’s a gift from the Gods. For the majority of people, there’s only a birthday message inside their Shadowbox. For a few chosen, though, there’s something more. Nobody knows what those special guys receive. What’s known is that they disappear and never come back. Rumors say they are invited to join the Gods’ Army… I think it’s just a load of crap. My name is Melany Richmond, and for my entire life, I’ve been an outcast, an orphan tossed around like a ship in a storm. I don’t think that gods really exist. I never even received my Shadowbox when I turned eighteen. Maybe because nobody knows my true birth date, or because not even the gods care about me. Afterall, I'm a blue haired rebel and troublemaker with tattoos all over my arms. I’m not like Callie Demos, the beautiful blondie living in the huge estate my adopted mother takes care of. She is the perfect specimen of Greek devotion and nobody doubts she will get “the call.” She has everything in her life and doesn’t appreciate any of it. Her birthday party is the biggest event in town, and everyone wants to be there when she receives her blessing. To me, it’s just another ridiculous parade. But when I secretly open her Shadowbox and feel its magic on my skin, all my beliefs vanish.
Gods do exist.
And if the scroll in my hands says the truth, they have a secret academy where their recruits train to become demigods. I’ve done really bad things in my life, but stealing Callie’s opportunity to attend the God’s Academy? It’s got to be the worst. If Gods find out I’m a faker, what was supposed to be someone else’s gift may turn into my personal curse. MAGIC. ADVENTURES. FRIENDSHIP. "As a huge fan of Greek mythology, I absolutely adored jumping into a world where all of my favorite gods and goddesses come to life! -Canada Starkey ★★★★★ "MUST READ! All the characters, locations, and scenarios are written in such detail that you imagine being amid the Academy experiencing the training and trials alongside Melany and her friends (and enemies). OMG, what an ending. -Author Danah Logan ★★★★★ "The plot twists had me devouring this book in one day!" -Ivy on Goodreads ★★★★★
Demigods Academy is a Young Adult Urban Fantasy novel for readers of all ages. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. It's NOT a Reverse Harem.
