Meeting Sang: Victor

The Ghost Bird #1.2

by C.L. Stone

From the USA TODAY bestselling The Academy: Ghost Bird series, comes a different look at the very beginning. Read Introductions with a whole new perspective--the boys'. Victor Morgan hides from the public whenever he can. It's not that he's a recluse; he hides to avoid rumors and throngs of teen girls throwing themselves at him because of his fame. When his team of friends is assigned a job at a new school, it's his one chance to finally be just Victor; not a local celebrity, or that guy whose parents have a huge house and lots of money. He wants to be normal, to be able to blend in and not worry about what everyone else is thinking or what they may want from him.

Things change when he meets Sang Sorenson. She's beautiful and clever, though she hides her intelligence behind a veil of shyness and insecurity. But with just a look, she makes him say the stupidest things.

Only things are wrong in her world. She's hiding something dark and terrible, the evidence of it in her haunted eyes. He barely knows her, but he'd give everything to help and protect her. Whatever it takes to keep her safe, he's in.

Does Victor know how adorable he is?


If he doesn't, let him know.

I can't wait until she puts all the boys perspective together in one book. Ugh! It's like sweet torture!

I love Victor in the other books, it was cool seeing what Victor thought of Sang!!

[Mary McFarlane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ugh!! I love these little bits! Can't wait to see what else the boys had going on the side before they met Sang

Again, it's cute...
The third party pov sucks ass... I mean, they wrote introductions in first person pov...hate that too but it's better than third party.... Why couldn't these books be in THEIR povs?
Instead of being narrated.....

I loved seeing things from Victor's POV!

I loved Victor's entrance in Introductions. It was so hilarious, and this short story had some funny scenes, too. He was also a lot more analytical than I thought he'd be, and I enjoyed reading his thoughts. His connection with Kota and their ability to converse just by giving each other looks is something I'll always admire, and I think Victor is just a really interesting character in general. He's so sweet, but he's always super funny and playful, which I adore. I also liked how this showed his vulnerable side. He really wants people to see him for who he really is, and he wants Sang to do that. His tripping over his words in an attempt to let Sang warm up to him was also really funny and adorable.

I feel like they didn't have much of Victor, though. Like, this short was supposed to be about him, but they didn't reveal too much of his character. I want more. He's one of my favorites of the boys, and I still don't know as much about him. His chapter in Introductions didn't have much going on, so his POV is super short. What a bummer.

I only noticed a few writing errors. Nothing much. I was really happy to be able to read this and see things from his perspective. I only thought it was much too short and was left wanting for more. 😉 Can't wait to continue on!

So I was like... Hmm, I feel like a Sang and the gang fix. I wonder if there's anything new to read... So I checked and quickly found this little beauty!!

I love that this author releases these bonuses at random. It makes the wait for the next book slightly less painful.

I like reading anything from the guys perspectives and I look forward to reading them all as they come out. Was this the best thing ever? Nah. But I ain't complaining. It was free and it gave me my fix.

I cannot wait to read Silas point of view of Sang when he opens the door and see her there standing.

[Charity · Rating 5 out of 5]

No wonder you are one of my top favorites :)

[Jo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved reading from victors point of view! I'm unsure of which I prefer better! But can't wait for the rest of the guys!

[Anna · Rating 3 out of 5]

All this reminiscing about Sang first meeting each of the guys just makes me want to go and reread all the books.
Also, it is interesting to read about the guys and their lives before they met Sang. I mean, for example, I had no idea that people were constantly trying to sneak into Victor's property or about his inner thought toward all the attention he's getting and how he's always worried about being photographed. I don't remember him being so insecure.
And "Luke duty". That was funny. I guess now Sang is the one who gets Luke duty, isn't she? Not that she minds terribly

Meeting Sang: Victor was definitely better than Kota's story. I think it's because we already had more information on Kota than we did Victor. I had only read Introductions when I read this and didn't know anything about Victor other than what was presented there. Maybe there's more in later main series books? For me this was a nice way to learn more about him, as well as seeing their meeting from his perspective.

As I said in my last review, I can't wait to read the other books!

I have gotten very into reading Reverse Harem novels lately becasue of this series. It's super hard to find decent ones that don't just read like fan fiction and this series is quite good actually. This series is really good though, it is slow to develop but that allows for more books in the series which is a good thing. Both the characters and the story are fully fleshed out and well written. I'm enjoying becoming invested in this world and pleased that I discovered this author.

[sharama grandison · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was great but i think sang was a little to shy.

I like how victor wanted to be like a normal person not some rich kind and that he is worried that sang might treat him differently.

[Rebecca Herrle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the individuality

I love how these mini books are all about how each of the first boys felt when meeting Sang and all the feels that went along with their first interactions with her.

[Kimberly Landry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my

Oh my, Victor! He is so.... you know he tugs at your heart. Wanting to be seen as just Victor... sigh

[Sam · Rating 3 out of 5]

These "shorts" are just to tide me over until the next installment.

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like that we not only get Victor's initial meeting with Sang, but a glimpse into his life in the Academy.

[Tamika · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ahhhhh I love this one. It tells me things I never ever knew. I love this side series.

[MGaby P-M · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked it

It is as nice seeing Victor's perspective of the whole meeting. Specially since their meeting was so weird and funny. It was fun. Can't wait for Silas.

[Eva · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it, like that i can get to know what the boys think about Sang

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Victor!

Victor is such a sweetheart! Reading his point of view was awesome. Can't wait for Silas's version to come out.

[Matilde Damkier · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one tugged a bit at the heartstrings. Glad to get some more background, too.

[Megan (BookWifeReviews) · Rating 5 out of 5]

So I thought Silas was my favorite but after this little novella Victor is number 1.

[Nancy Nicholson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like these short reads from the other person's point of view but when are we getting the next book!!!

[Ashley Willburn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome.

I loved getting that little snippet into victor. I knew his dad sucked but I didn’t realize just how much.
Victor is amazing!!!! I think he’s one of my top favorites.

[Laura Sorensen · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was so cool to see how Victor thinks and to get a little more info into his life!

[Chloe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Read

This was such a cute novella. Love getting the boys perspective of first meeting Sang. They are all absolutely adorable.

[Michele Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awwww.

This made me love Victor a little more. Don’t get me wrong, North is my favorite, but it was a little eye opening to see it from his perspective. ❤️❤️
