Genre: Fantasy,
Paranormal, Young Adult, Magic
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.
