Shadowstone Academy, Book 1: Broken Trinity: A Young Adult Urban Fantasy Academy Novel Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 306 ratings

My parents just shipped me off to Switzerland—a far cry from my normal suburban life. But the secret is out about my new powers. And more than one guy has taken notice.

Welcome to Shadowstone Academy ...

I'm back at the school I hate after my sister just took down the biggest, baddest secret society. At least I only have two secret societies to deal with now, and my sister close enough to begin my training.

There's only one problem. The most popular guy in school has finally noticed me, but so has the biggest bully I’ve ever met.

Funny story—the prickly guy who blames my family for stripping his powers
actually needs my help. So why does he act like it’s the end of the world after I use my gifts to save him from his own stupidity?

As long as he keeps my little secret to himself, we won’t have a problem.

Because everyone wonders if I’m hiding powers as game-changing as my Seer sister. But I’ll never reveal my secrets …

Tensions are brewing between the two remaining societies.

Can I figure out my unpredictable powers before the society big-wigs realize the truth?

I guess we’re about to find out …

Shadowstone Academy: Broken Trinity, is book 1 in the 4-book Young Adult Clean Paranormal Romance series. This academy book saga is full of slow burn, young adult enemies to lovers romance coupled with snarky humorous dialogue, and a kick-butt urban fantasy female protagonist who takes Europe by storm. In the world of YA supernatural academy romance, think Shadow Hunters meets Darkblood Academy. Or Harry Potter for girls set in a modern-day academy with warring secret societies and a good dose of teen romance.

    If you liked Montrose Paranormal Academy you will like to see how Paiges adventure goes. She doesn't take crap and quickly finds out who she can and can't trust.

    While this is the first book in a new series, the story carries on from where the author's Montrose Academy left off. 

    The focus switches to the secondborn seer, Paige. But Montrose fans will be happy that Lucy and Will, heroes of the previous series, are in this new book a lot too. 

    There's plenty of action and some fun dialogue. Paige rejoins Shadowstone Academy in Switzerland. Needless to say, things are far from smooth sailing as the term gets under way. As her powers manifest, she gets drawn into a new conflict and wonders who she can trust (as well as which guy is right for her!) 

    I think young adults in particular will enjoy this book, especially those who like academy, magic, and coming of age. I thought it was a fun, fast-paced, enjoyable read.

    Pretty good book. I think I read the books about Paige's (heroine) sister Lucy before, so everything made sense. Basically, the characters are going to a school (collage?) For parables\people with powers. Their society is breaking down and the kids have to save the day. Great writing, great plot!

    I love this series! I forget I am reading because I am so into the story, Barbara makes you feel like you are there. Growing up is hard enough, add powers to that and you have a super series. Looking forward to reading more. I would like to also compliment the editors. Great job! I never saw any mistakes. Great editing allows for the flow of the story without interruption. .

    This book draws you in from the first chapter and does not let go! There are a lot of grammatical errors, mostly spelling and missing or extra words. However, the story line is so engaging they do not degrade from it and the reader can still understand what is going on in those moments. The characters, and their back stories are incredibly well written, making the reader feel as though the characters are real and wonder if these societies truly exist. This book is definitely a must read for youth and adults alike!

    Why do they keep talking about Eric and Felicia's dad like he is still alive? He was killed on Mt. Sinai by Will's mom in the previous book. The rest of the book is well written and has amazing new characters to fall in love with.

    As the series shifts focus to the little sister, Paige, the adventure continues. Now she has to figure out how she fits into this paranormal world, who her friends are, & who she can trust. Can't wait for the next book.

    If you haven’t read any of the books in the series yet you are missing out. I’ve read all of the books in both series so far and can’t wait for the next in the new series to release. Barbara Hartzler is fast becoming a one of my favourite authors.

    Brand new series with characters I know and love! This time Paige takes centre stage in Shadowstone Academy. Set in the breathtaking landscape of Switzerland, I felt like I was actually there. Wonderful characters vibrantly realised, I can't wait for the next book in this series. If you are a big fan of urban fantasy academy novels like me, you will love this!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected.
    Reviewed in Australia on January 2, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This Academy book was slow to start and felt rushed in places. The whole dating scene did not feel realistic and the timeframe between the start of the relationship and their feelings developing was too soon. Eric abandoned his mission almost straight away which was disappointing and more angst could have been generated if that was carried on for a few chapters. The story was lacking in excitement and adventure. I will not be reading the rest of this series.
