I really enjoyed Ceb & Eve's story and felt this was another fun addition to the series. I have loved all of the characters so far. I hope Ingrid gets a story at some point and I am looking forward to reading more about Mandy, Sera, and Zara.

This is the seventh book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Grace & Henry (both Pixies). I really enjoyed their story and seeing all the creative idea's they came up with during their Pixie Dust War to amuse and annoy one another. This has been a really fun series so far and I look forward to reading and getting to know all the characters in this series better as it continues.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Michaela better after reading about her in previous books in the series. Michaela & Owen's story was really cute and a lot of fun and this book also gives us a large peak into Thalia and Evander's story (Blind Dates for Lonely Gorgons) as well as a bit more info about Essie so I am looking forward to reading more about her and Byron in the next book Trading Names For Polite Sprites.

This is the sixth book in the Obscure Academy series and is about Essie and Byron (both are Sprites) and them getting back together. Their relationship and breakup is briefly mentioned in the background of previous books so it was nice to get to read their story here and see them get back together. I look forward to reading the next book in this series Minor Inconveniences For Annoyed Pixies.

This is the fourth book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Fiona (Mermaid) & Wade (Merman). Their story was really good and I enjoyed both their characters as well as learning more about the Mer society in this series. I hope Georgie gets a book at some point because she seems like a really fun character. This story also has a bonus prologue available on the authors website that I read after the story that was cute.

This is the third book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Melody (Siren) & Josh (Warlock). I really enjoyed their story and how they supported one another. I look forward to reading more of this series and getting to know all the other characters better.

This is the first book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Krissi (Leopard Shifter) & Jeremy (Tiger Shifter). This is the second book in the series that I have read in this series and they can all be read as standalone books but they also have lots of characters that show up as background / side characters throughout the series that also have their own full books as well. I look forward to reading more of this series and getting to know all the characters from this book better as well as any future characters.

This was the first book from the Obscure Academy Series that I have read and while I am sure there are things I would enjoy with more depth if I had read more of the series it was really enjoyable on it's own. This was a cute Halloween story that I was able to read quickly. I plan to look into more of this series.
