About this listen
Magic exists, Josy sucks at it, and now her cat won't stop talking.
Seventeen-year-old Josy Barrows thinks she’s an orphan.
So, when opportunity knocks in the form of an address and a plane ticket from a mystery aunt, Josy jumps at the chance to start a new life with her black cat, Nine.
Fast forward.
There’s no aunt, no house...just a weird junk shop in a dark alley.
And a strange owner with a cryptic message who hurries Josy to the back of the shop.
Into a world she never knew existed.
Josy finds herself enrolled at the hidden Spellcaster Academy...with a now talking cat.
With no friends and no magical abilities, Josy can’t stay at the academy if her hot, Enchantment 101 student-tutor, Aspen Rivers keeps refusing to help her pass.
Just when things couldn’t get worse, she may have discovered dark secrets about the academy....
Secrets which could lead to a worse fate than expulsion...one that threatens both the side of magic and the regular world she grew up in.

Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

Alexander Grant is a little too good at a few too many things. Two dozen martial arts. Twice that many languages. Chess, the piano, sports, forging excused absences, you name it. He graduated high school top of his class 17 times. Of course, no one knows any of this. Not that he wants to go unnoticed. It’s just safer that way.

Story
When I arrived at my uncle's house, I expected my relatives to be like me - outcast sorcerers who don't practice magic. I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else. Rule two: Don't listen to the demon. My uncle chose a far deadlier power. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. And I'm supposed to act like I don't know how illegal and dangerous it is. Rule three: Don't talk to the demon. All I had to do was keep my nose out of it.

There are only two ways a human can cross the gates of Bloodstone Institute: as a familiar to one of the Blueblood vampires who attend the elite school or as a snack. I'm neither, but I have to get in at all costs. My brother made a big mistake, and now I have to fix it by stealing from the most powerful and cruel vampire to ever come to Bloodstone, Lucca Della Morte. If that wasn't almost suicidal, I need to get it done before the spell concealing my human nature wears off.

I really enjoyed this book so far so good. Although, it was a bit short or maybe because it was that good that I finished to quick. Anyways, the story had me from the beginning and I was left wanting more. Can’t wait for the next installment to be available on audiobook. You won’t be disappointed.

The start of a unique and wonderful Y/A paranormal
Reviewer: Teresa Fallen Angel
Summary:
Josy Barrows has had a difficult life. First loosing her parents, but her Grandmother was there for her until she became sick leaving Josy to care for her. Now all on her own with only her memories and her cat Nine on a trip to find her Aunt Olivia. Now finding her was nearly impossible, but what Josy finds will change everything she ever knew. You see Olivia isn’t a person, but a password to a world she never expected. You see Josy is admitted into Borealis Academy of the Magical Arts.
This is Josy’s first step into a world she never expected or knew about. This is just the beginning of Josy learning about her past and the dangers inherit in her new world.
This was an incredible saga the likes only seen in the Hogwarts world. Josy finds new friends, enemies, and what her place is in the magical world. I for one can’t wait to see what happens next. I thought the ebook was good, but the audiobook brings the story alive for the reader in ways only an audiofile can.

Great start
This is the first book in the Spellcaster Academy series and boy oh boy are you in for a funny ride. Josy and Aspen are great, and if you want to know who Aspen is you will have to listen to the story to find out just how sarcastically funny he can be while keeping Josy out of trouble. The narrator does such a great job with all of the characters
