Year of the Chameleon by Shannon Mayer
5.0
I loved this book! The characters are so well written, and the story itself just draws you in from the very first page. I could not put it down.
This one is action packed and fast paced. I love the main protagonist Wild , she is smart, brave, strong and loyal to her friends and family. Wild is well, a wild card. She doesn't look for trouble but it seems to find her and when it finds her she sure doesn't back down or run. She doesn't play by the rules and she is often breaking those rules.
Her friends are all from the other houses in the academy, something frowned upon by the adults in charge. Wild is in the house of Shade. Shades are the assassins of the magical world. Funny thing is Wild is more than just a Shade, yes her survival skills are off the charts but Wild is special, and being special in the magical world can make you a target.
The other characters in this book are equally well written and lovable. Wally is the crews necromancer and she also has this strange ability to just spout off statistics about anything and everything. Then there is Pete the shape shifter that turns into a fierce Honey Badger. Orin the not yet dead Vampire; Gregory the too good looking to fit in with his own kind Goblin; and Ethan, the wealthy spoiled Mage who just seems to worry about himself. Rory the hometown old friend of Wilds that broke her heart by leaving and then allowing her and everyone else to believe he was dead. How can she ever trust him again?
These kids are about to start their first year of training after surviving The Culling Trials.
If you love a well written book, with twists and turns and action from the beginning to the very last page with characters that you will love and some that you will love to hate then this one is for you.
When you reach the last page and you turn that page looking for more, just remember I told you so.
I can not wait for the next book!
