Rating: 4.75⭐️
We’re at the penultimate book, the real villain has been identified, and the scramble is on to stay alive, find a way to stop her and save Wild , her family and friends and the world magical order as it is.
And things aren’t looking so good.
Shannon Mayer’s storylines are flowing into one another fluidly at this point, so this is picking up where the previous book ends.
Helped by not just her own close knit group of paranormal friends, but the ghosts of her brother and mother, Wild is desperately looking for the magical instrument or instruction to help her defeat their enemies.
The author has plenty of revelations about Wild, her family, as well as the history of the school to unlock as part of this highly suspenseful, action packed, and emotional storyline.
Wally (a fantastic character who has had tremendous character development here), Johnson, and the rest of Wild’s crew get a lot of attention from the narrative as they are separated from Wild. Each striving for the same end before they reunite.
It’s a great story, and the characters are so amazing with their own storylines and growth.
Of course, as everyone heads towards the final battle, it ends in a cliffhanger.
Fantastic work. Highly recommended.
FYI. The academy has been pretty much left behind.
Love it.

Shadowspell Academy: Year of the Chameleon
Blurb
You Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You.
The Shadowkiller is back.
And he is hunting me down like a dog in the streets of New York City using every tool and ally he has—including people I once trusted.
I have never been so alone in my life, and yet if I turn to my friends that puts a target on their backs too. Which means I have to keep running.
So, I do what I know, and I set myself to finding the trail of breadcrumbs that will lead me to the one who is still pulling the strings.
Frost. A Chameleon just like me. Just like the Shadowkiller. Worse, she’s seeking out my friends to pick them off, one by one. To drain their lives in order to feed hers.
To stop her, I have to find her—a task easier said than done in a city this size.
What I don’t expect to find is a truth that this world and its secrets run far deeper, and far darker than I could have ever suspected.
But is any of that going to stop me?
Not a chance.
