Shield

by K.E. O'Connor

Loyalties are tested, trust is broken and orders disobeyed in this latest YA paranormal adventure.

How will the students face their new challenges at the Ghost Academy?

Lauren, Charlie, Esmee and Alex develop new skills as Angelics, destined to protect vulnerable humans. However, when Charlie receives some worrying news about his family, he has a difficult decision to make, one that could ruin their latest assignment.

The Deviants continue to cause problems for Lauren and the Academy, and she is faced with additional trouble from ghost hunters, who capture two of her teammates and she has to fight to get them free. What is she prepared to sacrifice to get them back?

Fighting to protect not only the family she left behind when she was killed but also her new family at the Ghost Academy, Lauren struggles to cope.

Everything changes when two of the students are forced to leave the Academy. How will they make it without the protection of the Academy and will they ever be able to return?

O’Connor is the author of the Witch Haven mystery series, the Crypt Witch cozy mysteries, the Lorna Shadow ghost mysteries, the Holly Holmes baking mysteries, the Zee Town paranormal cozy series, and the Old Sarum mystery series, along with other titles available if you cast the right spell. She can imagine dragons, taste cookies when they aren’t even there, and hear the crack of a witch’s broom at a hundred paces.

K.E. (the K stands for Karen) lives in the United Kingdom (it isn’t very united, but that’s a mystery for another time) among the mystical stones and fairy creatures of Somerset. She graduated from the Universities of Southampton and Reading, where she received degrees in Archaeology and Cognitive Evolution (both highly entertaining to take part in, but with the career options of a ground witch’s toe bone.)

[Me myself and random stuff · Rating 5 out of 5]

these books just keep getting better im on the last one now and friken love it

[Marianne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a sad book.

Things are still happening, assignments not going like they should, the ghost hunters are still finding them and they are in trouble with the professors.

Read and enjoy.

This series is not grabbing my attention very well, I'm finding myself skipping pages just to get to the end.

[James Crawford · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is another book in the Ghost Academy series. Alex has gotten his angel wings. The groups first job is to protect a woman who is part of a witness protection program.

Things go bad really soon after that. Charlie's brother is in trouble so Lauren and he go to try to fix that rather than staying on their job of protection. The very obnoxious ghost hunters from the previous book make their appearance again and two of the team are trapped. Theo is back with his on again/off again attempts to convert Lauren to their cause.

One of the professors in particular wants everyone to forget about their families and follow Ghost Academy orders without question or hesitation. Some of the things Lauren found out about the bad side of the Academy seem to be supported by what happens.

Further not everyone will even remain in the Academy, finding out that defying orders gets you kicked out of the group, no matter how much you have done for them and for others. Another really good book in the series.
