Blazing Lies

by C.J. Carbonnell

Brooke Renner—a studious teenager who was bitten by a werewolf when she was just four years old. She longs to learn how to use her hydrokinesis and prove she’s just a normal girl despite her curse. Rylan Varela—eldest child and heir to the respected and feared family Varela. She is protective of her brother, occasionally to her own detriment, and she, too, holds a secret. One that, if revealed, could draw her father’s ire, or ruin her family. She is a shapeshifter. Both young girls want nothing more than to escape the homes they grew up in for their own reasons, and when letters arrive inviting them both to the prestigious school, Magus Elementum, their joy becomes clouded. Rylan weighted down by her father's expectations, and Brooke is forced to lie to keep herself safe. Both girls hold secrets that could be catastrophic if they were to be revealed. Can they make it through high school without those secrets being exposed? Or will they learn, maybe there are some people in this world they can trust?

Okay I absolutely loved this book it felt like I was reading a mini version of Harry Potter 😁 different magic such as water, fire etc and the characters being at school in their set house fighting against each other in tournaments... Now for book 2 😍
