This book was very fast paced and action packed. It is a spin-off from the Crave series. I haven’t read Crave, but I had no issues understanding and following this book!

This is YA and the characters go to a high school for paranormals on an island. There are shifters, magic and ghosts!

I really enjoyed this and will definitely be reading the rest of the series once it releases! 

The chapters were short and it was honestly a pretty quick read.

The Calder Academy was a spin off series of Crave series – Tracy Wolff’s other book series. 
I haven't read the Crave series yet but I can totally enjoy this one just fine! 
 
The plot was interesting and the short chapters kept me glued to my kindle. 
This story have some parts that can be quite dark/ sensitive to some readers so I suggest checking out the trigger warning below before reading this one. 
 
The world building is interesting with a variety of different supernatural beings - vampires, fae, phoenix, dragons, sirens, etc which I think fantasy readers would love. 
The characters are pretty good, the bantering within the gang really liven up this dark and scary story of survival in a middle of a storm with a bunch of monsters running rampage. 
 
I also like the romance between Jude and Clementine, I was a little bit frustrating at first with Jude playing ‘push and pull’ with Clementine but I totally adore them together! 
 
There are so many dark secrets especially surrounding Clementine - her power and her past. 
The last chapter ended with quite a huge bomb for Clementine, that cliff-hanger really made me wish I had the 2nd book with me! 
Overall, this was an enjoyable read and I would definitely want to check out the Crave series now! 
 
<i>Thank you to TBR and Beyond Tour, Netgalley, author and publisher for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily! </i>
