Love, loyalty, and the power of friendship are tested in this box set. Books 4-6 in the exhilarating Paranormal Public series are featured. Once you join Charlotte and her friends in this battle to save their world, you’ll never want to leave. Book 4: In Charlotte's fourth semester at Public everything is about to change. Princess Lanca's father, King Daemon, has been murdered, and Lanca will ascend to the vampire throne. But danger lurks around every dark corner and no one knows whom to trust. Can Charlotte and her friends come together to protect the princess against darkness, or will they be too late? Book 5: In Charlotte’s fourth semester she is torn between finding out what happened to her mother, protecting the artifacts on the Wheel that could destroy all the paranormals, and following her heart.

Book 6: Charlotte returns to Public for her junior year. She's intent on fighting the rising power of the Nocturns, but many paranormals are happy to bury their heads in the sand, or worse, side with darkness.

The adventures of Charlotte, Sip and Lisabelle, along with Charlotte's boyfriend Keller, and their friends Lough and Trafton continue as they fight demons and darkness and try to discern who is on the side of Malle and the Darkness Mages, and who is on the side of The Elementals.
Love the characters and the storyline and the way that they are continued through out, what I have read of this. I will recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good paranormal book.
Though this book wasn't the best in the series, so far. It definitely moved the story along with action and intrigue. Reading through some of the bad Editting became a small hassle, but the story was interesting nevertheless.
The second of four omnibus volumes in the Paranormal Public series, Paranormal Public Omnibus Books 4-6 continues the story of Charlotte Rollins, the last remaining Elemental in the paranormal world. Paranormal Public is a university for students with paranormal abilities. As such, it is a little like Hogwarts, except the student body is a little older and they tend to be of different species. Some are shifters who look human part of the time but can change into frightening forms once they have mastered the techniques. Others, like Charlotte and her friend, Lisabelle Verlans, look pretty much human but have unusual powers. And some, I think, naturally look pretty different and must disguise themselves if they need to go unnoticed in the world of everyday people. This is not much of a problem while they are at Public.
In this group of books, Charlotte and her friends face new, heightened dangers. They defeated the former President of Paranormal Public, a woman named Malle, in the first set of books, but she only escaped to join forces with a group of demons and Darkness Mages that wants to take over the Paranormal world and kill off all the less evil paranormals. This group especially doesn’t like Charlotte because as an Elemental, she has, or at least can develop, particularly strong powers with which to combat these demons and their friends.
But Charlotte has good friends too. Particularly helpful is the non-evil Darkness Mage, Lisabelle. Also, their other close friend, Sip Quest, a tiny but fierce werewolf. Sip and Charlotte were roommates before Charlotte’s elemental status was revealed. Since then, Sip and Lisabelle have been roommates. Their constant good-natured squabbling is an amusing feature of the series. There are a couple of Dream Givers who are close friends as well. And then there is Charlotte’s boyfriend, Keller, a Fallen Angel with awesome powers and talents. If you ask me, though, Keller is sort of a putz as a boyfriend. The paranormal world suffers seriously from all kinds of prejudices based on species and rank, and Keller’s family objects to him having an elemental for a girlfriend because they expect him to enhance the family’s status by marrying another high-status Fallen Angel. Go figure. This, combined with the fact that his talents render him in high demand for defending people during dangerous attacks, leaves him little time to spend with Charlotte.
In book IV, the first one in this set, Public is in the middle of Christmas holidays when the Vampire King is attacked and killed. His eldest daughter, Lanca, who has been friends with Charlotte and her companions since Charlotte’s first semester at Public, is scheduled to be crowned the new Vampire Queen. Everybody who is anybody at once heads for Lanca’s castle for the coronation festivities.
Unfortunately, becoming Vampire Queen had thrown Lanca into the middle of all the problems of Vampire politics. Lanca is pretty nice as Vampires go, as is most of her clan. But not all the Vampire clans are so nice, and some of them have allied with the demons, Darkness Mages, etc. who are trying to take over the paranormal world. Charlotte and her friends spend most of this book trying to protect Lanca and trying to keep each other from getting killed.
In Book V, there follows the most horrible semester they have spent at Public so far. A woman named Mrs. Vale, mother of two of their acquaintances – the half-demon twins Daisy and Dobrov – has been appointed interim President of Public. Her tenure is reminiscent of the time Delores Umbridge was in charge of Hogwarts. Dangerous creatures are put in charge of security. The combat games are redesigned to be much more dangerous, and Mrs. Vale has an absolute fit when Charlotte manages (barely) not to die in the second competition. What classes there are are messed up, and except for what they manage to learn on their own, they don’t learn much.
On the plus side, Charlotte, searching for information on her mother in the library in Astra, her dorm, discovers a ghost in the attic library. He calls himself Sigil, and they become friends of sorts.
Charlotte is also visited by the President of all the Paranormals, a character named Caid.
In book VI, a lot of the time is taken up with parties. And the demons attack at each one. Pretty scary.
Between the parties, a new semester begins at Public. It’s another strange semester. Classes are better than the semester before, but everything is marred by frequent demon attacks throughout the year. We hear that Mrs. Vale, for all her strange behavior the previous semester, is not, in fact, an evil being. She was just being blackmailed by the demonic faction. They had threatened her children, and she was trying to keep them safe.
Charlotte’s dorm mother, Mrs. Swan has been missing since the middle of the previous year. This time a new dorm mother shows up in Astra, a small woman who calls herself Martha, bakes incessantly, and imposes an impossible set of rules on Sigil and Charlotte. Later on, when Charlotte complains to the directors, she finds that she is not supposed to have a dorm mother anymore after all. But boy is everyone surprised when, after the last party/war they find out what Martha really is.
Pretty good, if not jaw-droppingly so. I'm glad Charlotte and Keller are still together, and that she has the support of her friends. What she did at the end of book 6 was pretty epic. Onto the next omnibus, once I can scrounge up some money.
Books 4-6 in the Paranormal Public Omnibus series continues the battle of the paranormals vs the demons and hell hounds. Packed with adventure and challenges for Charlotte, Sip and Lillabeth in their ongoing battle between good and evil.
