Blurb:



Fire and Water don’t mix.

Sophia

I’m Sophia Henley, your typical college freshman. I never expected a lion to be stalking me, nor for fire to come shooting out of my hands to protect my sister. Next thing I know, a drop-dead gorgeous guy shows up on my doorstep to sweep me away to a magical school, where I’ll learn to control my element and bond with a powerful creature called a Familiar.

I don’t believe I’m the savior of an ancient tribe, or the missing piece of a prophecy that’s more myth than reality. Worst of all, I’m forced to enter the Elemental Cup, where I’ll either earn my place in this society… or die trying.

Liam

The night I met Sophia, I didn’t think we’d form an undeniable connection. But I’m from the Water tribe, and she’s fire. I’m forced to push her away even as I’m falling for her.

I lost everything, yet Sophia makes me whole again. Our world is fixed on keeping us apart, but we’re in this tournament together. We have to keep each other alive at any cost — or I’ll give my life for hers.

It’s pretty clear. If I continue to play with fire, I’m going to get burned.

An astonishing start to a brand new series, The Fire Prophecy is the first book in the incredible and breathtaking Academy of Magical Creatures series. This New Adult college fantasy is packed full of laughter, romance, and extraordinary worlds. Fans of Harry Potter are going to LOVE this book! Recommended reading age 16+.





My Review:


Sophia Henley’s family has been keeping secrets from her, her whole life. The secrets are coming out now and Sophia doesn’t know who to believe or what is real.

One evening Sophia and her sister is attacked and Sophia uses her magic for the first time but has no idea what is going on or what happened but she is going to find out the truth and what her family has hidden from her all these years.

Then one evening a really hot dude shows up on her doorstep and literally whisks her away to a magical school. At this magical school they will teach her all about magic and how to use her own magic.

Sophia starts to really like this dude, Liam but she soon learns that they can’t be together. Sophia is Fire and Liam is Water. Fire and Water don’t mix but that is also true for all of the houses. But Sophia did not grow up knowing or living all these rules like Liam and thinks that breaking a few rules can’t hurt anyone or can it?

The Elemental Cup is coming up and Sophia learns that she must enter as she is not been given a choice in the matter. She must make it through the Elemental Cup challenge to find out where she belongs in this magical world. The trials she must face could cost her, her life.

This has been one amazing journey through this magical world of magical creatures at the Orenda Academy. I have loved getting to know all the characters and their familiars. The Fire Prophecy is a great introduction into the Academy of Magical Creatures series.

It captured my interest from the first page and kept me in its grasp all the way through until the end. It kind of reminded me of The Hunger Games you know when they were competing in the Elemental Cup with all the trials they had to face. The ending really blew me away I never saw that one coming not even once.  It really floored me.

The Fire Prophecy is a little longer than most books and it did take me a while to read but in all fairness I did start it the day before Thanksgiving and read it through the holiday day week and weekend. But I must say that The Fire Prophecy is a great book to read through the holidays or during a busy time as you do have more time to read it and to savor every little morsel between each and every one of its magical pages.  I can’t wait to check out the next book in the series and to see what that ending may entail in the next book.

If you like fantasy worlds involving magic and magical creatures then you are going to love The Fire Prophecy, an introduction into the magical world of Academy of Magical Creatures.
