Description

Kate Connelly should be careful what she wishes for.

Just seventeen, she already feels like she’s suffocating. Since her mother’s death, her father’s basically checked out, so she’s stuck raising her brothers by herself out in the New Mexico scrub. All Kate wants is a little distraction from the same-ole, same-ole that is her life.

When two mysterious guys show up at the diner where she works, she thinks her wish has come true, until they start giving her a hard time. Like her life isn’t hard enough. Something about them niggles her, but she brushes it off. She’s never going to see them again anyway . . . right?

Then they appear in an alley one night to either rescue or kidnap her (she’s still not sure which) before disappearing like figments of her imagination.

Kate decides to put the bizarre encounters out of her mind. She has bigger problems to worry about: like that elite military academy that’s been pursuing her gifted little brother. When one of their cadets shows up in her small town, he creates instant pandemonium. And just happens to be one of those mysterious guys. Coincidence? Mama said there’s no such thing. And to always trust her instinct. But that might be kind of hard, because every time she’s around Cadet Peter Davenport, her gut starts flip-flopping on her. And her heart.

Can Kate keep it together long enough to stop Cadet Davenport’s mission? She’s about to find out. And—once again—how neatly life can be split into before and after.

Kate Connelly should be careful what she wishes for.

Just seventeen, she already feels like she’s suffocating. Since her mother’s death, her father’s basically checked out, so she’s stuck raising her...

This is the first book in The Academy Saga series and let me tell you to get your copy! It follows Kate's life, who was forced to grow up and care for her brothers after her mother's death and when her father left. Her life is very relatable; there's drama, hardship, laughter, and everything else in between. The story is a bit slow initially, but don't dare put it down, it will catch on, and everything will make sense. CJ's writing style is marvelous, from social uniqueness, relatable characters up to the emotional consequences. This book has it all – mysterious, action-packed, electrifying, and unputdownable! I can't wait to read the second book!

Definitely a page turner! I kept telling myself one more page and then one more chapter! I couldn’t put the book down. The characters come to life on the pages and there are twists and turns that you won’t see coming! Can’t wait for the next one!

The Academy Saga by C.J. Daly is an angsty story of a young girl protecting her family. Intriguing yet a bit whining in places the book has good pace and twists that are unforeseen. Overall good read and fabulous characters that evolve and grow on you.
