From The Last Academy:
Then I was at Nora's door. There was no one milling about in the hallway this time. In fact, it seemed even more dark and deserted than usual.
"Come in!" Nora yelled. She was sitting out on the patio. Already Jessie's stuff had a dusty, Pharaoh's tomb look to it. I hurried through the room and joined Nora outside.
"Where have you been?" I demanded.
"Crisis counseling." She jumped out of her seat and paced the patio, stalky as a wet cat.
"What really happened to Jessie?" I asked. "Did she . . ."
"I don't know. When I woke up, she was gone."
"What do you mean, 'when you woke up she was gone'? People were talking about an ambulance. They said she killed herself."
"Look, I don't know anything about that." Nora enunciated every word. I wanted to shake her or something. Jessie had been my friend too.
"But what about all her stuff?" I demanded. "What about her wallet? Are you telling me she just got up in the middle of the night and walked out of your room and . . . disappeared?"

A thrilling mystery with a few flaws
By Jessabella Reads
The Last Academy was pretty middle of the road for me. I felt that the characters were not very deeply developed. The main character Camden was likable enough, though there were some points where things she said or did got under my skin a bit. For example, when she gets to Lethe Academy, she refers to a group of girls as her "friends", after only having one or two interactions with them. To me, that seemed odd. Also, there were quite a few boarding school cliches in the book, and some of the situations between the students were a little too obvious and predictable for my taste. That being said, the plot itself was fast-paced and exciting enough to keep the me turning the pages. I read the book in one sitting. I will admit that I was surprised when I finally learned what was really going on at Lethe, and the mystery and suspense leading up to the reveal was quite spooky at times. I really enjoyed racing along with Camden as she tries to figure out what is happening at the school. I do feel that some of the flaws I found in the book might not bother a younger reader quite so much. I just didn't quite connect with the whole boarding school experience and social situations. I did connect with the deeper emotional aspects of the book, but to tell you what they were would be a spoiler. I will say that there are some really deep parts to this book if you can overlook some of the more superficial character flaws. While reading, I found quite a few things annoying; but after turning the last page, I felt as though I had learned something important and profound. (If that makes any sense.)
All in all, The Last Academy was an enjoyable read. It was suspenseful, thrilling, and the end had my heart in my throat! I would suggest that if the blurb catches your interest, then go on and pick this one up. It is a fast paced thriller that will keep you on your toes and turning the pages late into the night!

easy to read, easy to love, not so easy to let go!
By sadie"avid" a.
i started this book thinking it may be too "young" for me but since i read the hunger games and twilight i felt like i could put my figurative guess jeans (with the must have triangle question mark patch on the back right pocket of course!)that i wore in junior high and adapt to teen speak and thought process easily enough again. after the first chapter i was in the groove and was moving along with Camden on her journey adjusting to new town new school new friends new drama new love etc.
during the first half of the book i was involved in the daily life, ups and downs with twists and turns, in this teenager's life all the while wondering "what the heck is really happening here?!" i knew something was afoot but couldn't put my finger on it.
the second part of the book was starting to get nudged a bit by my brain and spidey senses kicked in and i thought "could this be it? but no, then how would that work? keep reading keep reading..."
SPOILER ALERT:
nope,i am not going to give any spoilers away. it's kind of a "you had to be there" thing so you will just have to read it yourself! but i will say,
the last third of the book i was so engrossed in Camden's journey as well as the other characters (who were well written. although you might think they are not at first, wanting more backstory into who they are and why, trust me it will all come together for you and you will not be disappointed!) that i couldn't put the book down. i had to order an almond milk mocha at 8pm to keep reading until i finished!
the ending was superbly scripted leaving you with just enough to close the book and still think about some characters and what would become. an ending where you could keep the story going in your head a bit so you didn't have to let them go but an ending that ties things up in a way that you are satisfied that the journey you went on with Camden has come to a close.
Then, i read the author's note at the end and i was floored that this was her first book! kudos anne applegate! if this is your first then i am avidly awaiting to see what you have up your writer's sleeve next, count me in for your second!

a very different rite of passage
By L'aisi2da
The dialogue in Anne Applegate's book is fresh, upbeat, funny, and right on the mark. Unexpectedly, the brightness of the dialogue pulls you, almost before you realize it, into a dark and sometimes frightening place. The Last Academy is like stumbling, laughing, into a house of mirrors and belatedly realizing you are lost and really can't get out. The main character, Camden, searches awkwardly but with perseverance to find her way in a world of flawed characters and distorted images. A very different rite of passage book that will leave a lump in your throat. I highly recommend it.
