Introductions: The Ghost Bird Series: #1 (The Academy Ghost Bird Series)

Book Description 

With an agoraphobic mother and a barely-there father, Sang abhors the isolation keeping her in the shadows. The only thing Sang craves is a fresh start and to be accepted as ordinary by her peers, because for her being different meant being cast out alone.

When her family moves to a new school district, Sang infiltrates a group of boys nearly perfect in every way. Grateful for an influence outside of her parents' negativity, she quickly bonds with the boys, hoping to blend in and learn from them what it means to have a natural relationship with friends.

Only the boys have secrets of their own and they'll do anything to keep her safe from the knowledge of the mysterious Academy that they've sworn allegiance to. Bit by bit, Sang discovers that her friends are far from the normalcy she expected. Will her loyalty change when she's forced to remain in the dark, or will she accept that she's traded one house of secrets for another?

Book Review

I have been reading this series for a while now, I just haven't had time to put down the Kindle and write a review. Sang is a small, delicate girl who has led a tough childhood. Her mother doesn't allow her to go out because she believes that the world is full of people out to harm her. Sang is scared that she is gradually becoming just like her mother and she needs to do something that will let her know that the outside world is not as scary as her mother thinks.

In her wisdom Sang decides that she needs to spend at least one night away from home without her parent's knowledge and prove to herself that she can survive out there. Only trouble is the night she picks, it begins to rain and then she gets flattened by Max, a golden retriever belonging to her neighbour Kota.

Kota feels guilty about her hurting her arm and invites her over to his place to look over the wound...and there by begins the friendship that will literally change Sang's life. Kota introduces her to his friends and Sang feels loved and protected amongst them. There is just one thing that mars her happiness, the shadow of the Academy that the boys attend is always hanging over them.
