Brought to you by OBS reviewer HeidiTeenage Sang just moved to town with her family. With a mother that is scared to go outside of her own house, she has tried to force her children to live within their own walls as well. She doesn’t want her girls to have friends or do things other kids do. And, she can be down-right abusive if they break her rules.
One night Sang sneaks out for a little slice of freedom, when a boy and his dog run into her (literally). Kota takes her in for the night and the two quickly form a friendship. His circle of friends quickly becomes her circle of friends. Sang is so happy to finally feel like she belongs, even if she does have to sneak around to be with them. However, there is definitely something a bit odd about the boys that Sang can’t quite put her finger on. They are a part of something they can’t tell her about. Can a friendship shrouded in secrecy survive or will she have to go back to a life of loneliness without them?
I’m not a big fan of the young adult genre as a whole, so I never go into these books expecting much. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into with this book at all. I was expecting some teenage angst and high school drama. I never see much cussing or sex in the YA books I have read. There is a little cussing, but no sex in this one, but from what I can tell this is a building block for a reverse-harem series. I really didn’t see that coming, but it’s kind of obvious with all the intimate touches the boys share with Sang, their instant protectiveness for a girl they just met, the constant blushing, and how cute Sang thinks all the boys are.
There are seven guys to keep track of … you heard me right… SEVEN! I liked that the author introduced them slowly so you could learn them and be able to differentiate between all of them, but also hated it at the same time. It came off a little corny how she was meeting them one or two at a time like some strange male smorgasbord. And, she was always so detailed in her thoughts about what they were wearing and always a comparison to them and one of the other boys …he’s taller than Kota, not as built as Silas blah blah blah.
I found a lot of things didn’t make sense to me, in this book. If Sang’s mom is scared of going outside of her house, then why did they move? If Sang can’t have friends, then why does she disappear for an entire day every day to hang out with them? She does a very bad job of covering it up. Also, if she found the boys so intimidating why was she always so quick to go off with these complete strangers?
There was nothing all that riveting about this storyline, it’s just as the title suggests an introduction to all of the characters. Nothing really happens beyond that unless you count Sang finally going to the school and registering for classes. And, knowing that this series will turn into a badly written sexfest soon, I’m in no hurry to continue on with the series. I’m not saying I won’t eventually read another one down the line, but I’m not committing to doing so either, and definitely not any time soon, if I do. The book left me feeling that Sang will be pulled into the Academy to some degree, but it wasn’t enough to make me rush to read the next book. I wish I had something more positive to leave this review on, but I just don’t ….

Introductions The Ghost Bird Series #1 The Academy Ghost Bird Series eBook C L Stone Reviews
This was exactly the type of book I was in the mood for...something sweet, a little action, tension and romance without getting too steamy.
The characters are a little cliche, but that's one of the things which makes this a nice read to dive into as a bedtime read or for a chance to simply shut out the world. The heroine has baggage and some of this was a little much, but it also wins over the sympathy needed to cheer for her. Of course, this sets the stage well for the heroes to jump in with all of their awesomeness. Which they do. Each one is lovable in their own way. Readers will find their favorite and be able to hope the couple works out in the end. But the author keeps a nice balance, making it unclear if one guy will win out or what will happen. It's a great intro to a series.
While the romance end holds the main thrust of the book, there are other things going on. Moments of suspense and action keep the pages turning as well as layers of questions. Many are solved but many more remain open. There's hints of a larger intrigue to come as well as more action and danger. The characters are only at the beginning, which hooks right away and demands that book two be grabbed up soon.
I am doing a reread in preparation for tomorrow's release eeep
But anyway, this is such a classic. I have been rereading this a lot, tbh. And the feeling of giddiness as if I'm back in high school or the pureness from Sang when she was shyly interacting with the boys. Ughhh so sweet
And I really really dont mind the slowburn going on with the series. I know people wanted more from the characters but I feel content (meaning I won't mind if the pace picked up but nontheless is very satisfying with the current one). Also, I think its perfect with all their circumstances. Patience is a virtue.
I want to bubblewrap sang although I also know it might not help her in the long run. But baby steps dearie
Other reviews will cover what the books are about, are they any good, etc. but I felt I should make sure potential readers are aware of what they're getting in to reading this series.
These are very well written but in no way do I consider these books appropriate for teens unless a parent were to read them first then discuss with the teen. Once they're 18, fine, read them, enjoy them, talk about them if you want, don't if you don't want to. By the time you get to the end of book 4, you realize that the situation the main character is in can put some very inaccurate and unsafe notions in to a young reader's mind. Most people between ages 15-18 that are logical and sensible can have all that fall away once their hormones kick in, which they have no control over. The main character is in situations that in real life are extremely dangerous.
Somewhat as a spoiler alert, if you are not ok with the concept of polyamory (more than two people forming one relationship), this is not a book or series you will enjoy.
