This is another fab adventure filled with action, magic, sexy shifters, fae and one sassy female mc! A great storyline with some great characters and twists and turns you will not see coming making this an enjoyable and intriguing read!

The Details:
- NA/18+/Upper YA
- 2nd in Magical Creatures:Next Level Trilogy
- Urban Fantasy/Fantasy
-Sassy, feisty heroine that'll make you laugh til you cry
- Addictive Read
- Cliffhanger Ending
From the introduction of Jas's character in Night Shifter, I was intrigued by her and wanted to know more about her. Power Streak gave me that and more; it firmly cemented my adoration of Jas's character, she's totally a girl after my own heart.
We share the same snarky attitude and similar dress sense and I love Betty Boop.
I couldn't wait to read Power Pendant and was absolutely thrilled to receive an arc of it, so the wait, for me, at least, was over.
This book is filled with moments that made me laugh, cry and sigh - and I definitely thought "Aww!" a time or two when Jas was interacting with Ky.
Now the wait for the release of Power Shifter and the conclusion of Jas's story begins. Needless to say, I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Well!
That was an unexpected end!
Jas is still my favorite lead character in these books; although, I have to qualify this by adding that she does have mean and thoughtless streak, she is predisposed to a certain amount of selfishness and she can be just plain rude to the point that I didn't like her at times, especially when she was rude and selfish in relation to her friends. But they seem to accept that she's not all about the warm and fuzzies. Jas does not seem to do emotional connections well, so it will be interesting to see how compromise is reached in that space.
Her relationship with Ky seems to moving along... think turtle in peanut butter... but she kinda has her hands full at the moment. But Ky is such a dream guy... not just that alpha manliness but the sensitivity and common sense and the fact that he's a really good person, just adds to his attractiveness.
I must mention that I so very much enjoy the secondary characters in this book. There are some marvelous discoveries about characters old and new afoot and I felt that it added to layers and lustre of the story to have others to think about and focus on a bit.
The problem with, what I call "middle books" is that they're difficult to review without giving away entirely too much. I will say this - this piece of writing, with the twists and turns and it's twilight zone plot managed to be intriguing, engaging and utterly enjoyable.
I am chomping at the bit for the next one!

I think this is the most enjoyable book of Ashta’s so far. The naivety and innocence of Rina and Selene is gone and I wholeheartedly embrace the vulgarity and crudeness of Jasmine. The lack of colorful language and sex in her other books was a bit of a deterrent for me. This one doesn’t have sex scenes per se, but there are plenty of racy comments.
The book is a quick read, but enjoyable. There are less times of confusion for me than some of her other books, and less times where there are large gaps of time where she’s recapping what little has happened. And the book doesn’t even cover the full school year which I think is almost welcome because you’re able to focus on the action than trying to drag it out a year. There is a lot more focus on Jasmine and not a lot on her friends, but there is a lot going on so the side-chatter isn’t really missed.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this action-packed installment of the Magical Creatures Academy and cannot wait to read more!

Next Level - Power Pendant is Book 5 in the Magical Creatures Academy by Lucia Ashta. This is another phenomenal addition to this series. Jas has been gifted with a magical pendant by an elf who was her summer fling. She soon discovers she needs to master the pendant's magic as it is draining her powers. Lucia has create such wonderful characters with striking personalities that bring them to life for the reader, especially the pandacorn. This is a fast paced, page turning, action packed thrill ride with twist and turns you don't see coming. I highly recommend this book and series. Anxious to see what's coming next. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Jas really struggles with the out of control pendant.
I am so glad my mom is nothing like Jas'! That woman would make me an alcoholic. Or come up with spells to change her, oh why hasn't Jas thought of that? It worked on Mr. Whittle. She's worse than the new character Eloise. Jas was able to do one really cool thing with the pendant. Maybe 2 if Eloise had cooperated more. However, Jas should have spent more time trying to master that pendant. Loved the ending!!! Can't wait for the next.

Color changing hair based on emotions
Wow- the ride with Lucia is breathtaking or stealing. With no idea where the imagination will take you. This is her second series I am reading and have already given started researching her back shelves.
Jas is the strangest main character. The fact that she is starting to think before just acting is a sign of growth, but she needs to start consulting with her team of friends and protectors instead of jumping and hoping...but that is where all the fun of these stories lies.
Another swing another home run!

Book 5 in the Magical Creatures Academy (Next Level)
One magical pendant. One injured shifter with faulty abilities. Hunted by those who seek power. Wrong place. Wrong time. Impossible choices around every corner.
If you like paranormals in a hidden academy setting, this is the book for you. It's filled with all the typical aspects you'd expect with some twists along the way. Strong character development and detailed world building. Featuring a strong, say-whatever, take nothing, take charge main female character.

confusing
Well another great book in the Magical Creatures Academy series, certainly a page turner, can’t put down and on the seat of your pants read. At times the story can be a little bit confusing, trifling and an enigma. But the book is interesting and intriguing while doing the best to understand the problems Jas is facing; I’m looking forward to reading the rest of her story to learn if she can master the pendant and get herself and Why out from where they are and get her enemy

I voluntarily review an ARC.
This is the second book of of the second set of books in the Magical Creatures Academy series.
As always I loved the interesting characters, the great storyline and the fluent writing style. In this series I really enjoy the sassy language and hot moments.
As expected there were even more unexpected turns. I can't wait to read the next part, especially after this cliffhanger.
Highly recommended.

That pendant is more trouble than its worth
Jas is seriously upset, first she had to put up with her parents fussing throughout the holidays then she is kidnapped by the Fae. She needs to get back to Thunder Mountain and her friends.
Problems arise when the original owner of the pendant makes an appearance. More trouble for the group of friends.
A must read for all lovers of suoernstural

The twists and turns just keep coming. Jas gets some answers in regards to the magical pendant, but that just leads to more questions. Jas is in the fight of her life to learn how to master/control it, literally. Will she be able to find the answers before it's too late? I'm very impatiently awaiting for the next book in a couple of months. I need to know how Jas is going to figure it out and save the day.

What a ride!!! 😰
OMG poor Jas, she never expected all that would happen since she put that pendant on 😳🤯... Kidnapping, time lost, persecution, a not so dead witch, an unexpected attack, magic 👻🧙♀️🧚♀️🦉... you will get a lot of action in this amazing installment of the Magical Creatures Academy series, can't wait for the next book!!! 😍❤️

I love Jas, the lead character in the trilogy within a series that is Lucia Ashta’s Magical Creatures Academy 5: Next Level ~ Power Pendant. She’s going on a wild ride in this book. Totally thrilling but also really well put together with string writing, well crafted characters and a superb plot. Wonderfully fun and totally (highly) recommended.

I just love Jas.... I think she's my favorite character of them all and I think this is my favorite book of this series so far. Each time Jas thinks that she has stuff figured out bam. No, I won't give anything away, you need to read this book yourself. Just prepare to be entertained from the beginning

A bit disappointing
I have to say I didn't like this book nearly as much as the first trilogy. Jasmine's impulsive nature is too far over the top. The pendant causes absolute craziness to occur over and over again, and Jasmine still acts like an impulsive teenager even after she should have realized just how deep the mess she is in actually is.

Poor Jas can't stay out of trouble and having the pendant aint no walk in the park either it's causing lots of trouble lol.I love the twist of Grand Witch Eloise of Damascus. Can Jas learn to master the Pendant before it takes her magic and life.
