I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review

Volume 6 of Spearwood Academy by A.S. Oren picks up right where volume 5 left off. Having been interrupted (thankfully!) by a mysterious boy, Avalon takes her chance to escape from Dante and the other boys for a little while. Bullock is missing, Triton is back, and Avalon doesn't know who to turn to trust!

Okay so I was slightly disappointed with this installment of Spearwood. I felt like it was a lot of filler for the next volume. Lots of new faces and questions, yet not a lot of answers or conclusions, well except for Triton. Let's just say his story left me feeling a lot like this:



I didn't see it coming at all! And I'll admit I'm a bit brokenhearted.

Avalon is on the warpath, she's trying to salvage her boys and find out what is going on since they were brought back to Spearwood, and she's trying to do it under the nose of the Watchers. Bullock mysteriously disappeared toward the end of Volume 5 and now she's trying to find him without much luck. Paden is also on a warpath, his mind having been wiped believes that Avalon is a murderer and he's not exactly being kind.

So onto new faces: Minos has arrived and Avalon isn't sure if she should trust him or stay away from him. Supposedly he's Dante's dead brother back to life and even with his mind wiped Dante isn't believing it. He claims he knows what's going on and is there to help Avalon, however like her I just don't believe him.

There was a lot packed into this tiny volume, clocking in at just under 50 pages, and at times I felt the story was rushed and the plot had a few holes that needed filling. However as a fan of the series I still enjoyed it and the ending has left me, like all the endings have, craving more! Looking forward to volume 7 and hopefully a fix for the boys! I'm not liking them being brainwashed!!!
