January 11, 2018
Publisher: Evershade
Genre: Fantasy,
Paranormal, Fairies, Fae, Magic
Blurb:
A magical calling card, a murderous secret, and an ancient,
dangerous realm.
The Fae have been hunting Imogen’s mother for nearly
eighteen years. She has something they want: her daughter. Now they’ve caught
up with her, and Imogen’s faced with a choice: attend their fae college by
choice…or by force.
That should’ve been enough warning that Callador, school for
the fae, is a manipulative and dangerous place. But it’s not until the school
is under attack and the students are facing death by curse that Imogen realizes
Callador’s darkest secret isn’t how they get their students to attend.
You won’t want to fall behind on the series readers are
calling a “brilliant, magical new world.”

My Review:
Imogen has never had a place that she could call home. All
her life her mother has moved them from place to place. They use to stay in one
place for a while but now they only stay in once place for maybe a couple of
months at a time. Imogen has tried talking to her mother about why they were
always moving and never staying in one place long but her mother just won’t
tell her anything no matter how much she argues. Something or someone is after
Imogen’s mother and they want something or someone and that someone is Imogen.
Imogen has a big day planned out and she has been planning
this day for a very long time. But her plans have fallen through once again as
her mother packs them up and are on the move again. Whoever is after them is
hot on their trail today. Imogen finally gets her mother to confess as to who
is after them and why. Imogen finds out that she is a fairy and that is who has
been chasing them all these years and have finally caught up to them and have
given her an ultimatum go with them willing or be forced.
The ultimatum she was given is that she must attend the Fae
Academy to learn who she is. Imogen’s mother has always believed this to be a
bad place and didn’t want her daughter going there or maybe she is just afraid
of losing her daughter.
Imogen decides that she wants to go to this school to learn
who she is and where she came from. She is in for a world of trouble when she
first walks through the door to the Fae realm and has to make it through dark
fae territory.
When she finally makes it to the school there are a lot of
students in the nurse’s office who are very ill and on the first day. Later she
learns that one of the halls is being attacked. Imogen is on the case when it
seems that the staff doesn’t seem to care. If their magic doesn’t fix it then
they don’t seem to care but Imogen doesn’t need magic as she has never had or used
magic in her life she will just have to do it the human way by snooping.
But Imogen has other fish to fry like dealing with two hot
guys that really seems to heat her up in more ways than one. Yeah Imogen has
finally found herself a home and have made lots of friends. She also has to
contend with not being able to control her element fire. If she doesn’t get
that under control she could be putting herself not to mention other people in
danger. How is girl to learn how to control fire when she didn’t even know she
could make fire? But figure it out she must.
I have really enjoyed reading A Curse of Fire and getting
lost in the halls of the Fae Academy with Imogen, Dannika, Ella, Erick, Caleb, Driftblossom,
Damon and Lady Shadowburn plus many, many more. This has been an epic journey
in the realm of the Fae one in which I hope to rejoin in the near future.
Come join in on this great adventure and walk with Imogen
through the halls of the Fae Academy and see what she sees. Sophia Shade is one
of those authors who can pull you into a story and have you seeing the world
through character/author’s eyes and have you so lost in the story that you actually
forget where you are and have you racing through wanting to help Imogen find
out whodunit. I can’t wait for the next book to find out more about Imogen and
her life as well as all of her new friends and read more about the Fae Academy.
I would recommend A Curse of Fire to anyone who loves a good
whodunit with a little magic on the side.
