💕💗💕 💟 This series!
Not gonna lie I stalled in reading this book just because I knew it was the final in this series. I didn't want it to end and even though I wanted to know what happened so bad I just couldn't rush. From book 1 I was hooked! This is one of the best RH series' I have ever read. I loved all the guys and they each brought something special to the table. I'm sad to have finished this but but so so glad I read it! If you ha ent read this series yet you are missing out big time.

ayo this girl is always getting d*cked down during terrible tragedies 😭😭 mad respect I guess
Let’s start with this - I still hate the villain. He just popped out of nowhere as this big evil, but I am unconvinced. Yes, he was terribly annoying and I wanted him to die, but I was UPSET that he was just some guy. There was no connection to anything from the first few books and I could really tell that the author planned the villain during Book 5.
I also feel like we never truly got a resolution with Elliot’s father. There was the confrontation scene a few books ago, but I expected him to make a reappearance. And then he just didn’t. I was really disappointed by this.
I was also really annoyed that we have all of these ~supernatural things~ that we never really learn about during the entire series. Like demons, they are literally such a huge part of this series, but they give us nothing. Like is their a demon realm? Do they have feelings? Is their purpose literally just to be conjured and used against other mages? What do they do when they’re not in a magical battle that honestly doesn’t concern them at all? These are things I need to know!
I’ve talked about this before, but I am still upset with her power names. Like “sonic boom”. I need to cyber bully.
Maybe I’m being harsh, because I’m sure these aren’t necessarily things the author wanted to accomplish. It’s a reverse harem story, it should be about Elliot getting having some steamy sex constantly, but idk, I feel like I was missing something.
Honestly, the more I write this review, the more critiques I have, and the lower my rating goes. This whole series gets a 2.5 stars from me. There were so many inconsistencies that left me wanting more.

What can I say?
Was it the best series I've ever read? No.
Was it the worst? Also no.
The plot in each book was basically the same. Fight the bad guys and have sex.
But it just had something in it that made me read the whole series. That something is 100% Asher and Cam. I just love them. Also Maddy.

There was some serious action in this book which was very enjoyable to read. It is amazing to see who Eliot turned out to be, she changed so much from the beginning of the series. The final battle was great. I also really liked the ending, it was a good ending to the series.

Clash
Alright, so this was the final book in the series! This was probably in my opinion the best of the 6 book series. We got to see more togetherness with Elliot and her men. We also got to see the unpredictables essentially coming together. I liked the mind control I thought that was an interesting angle to take. Liam was interesting I liked seeing the relationship between him and Roman.
However, there were a few things I thought that could have been improved both as a series and in this book particularly. I also maybe would have liked a better ending maybe even a epilogue that takes place 5 to 7 years later.
This was an interesting series I feel like it had a good story and idea. However, I feel like the books fell short. I would give this book a 3.8. As for the series I would give it a 3.6

This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Sadie Moss!
Clash is the final book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series and continues the story of Elliot and her four men.
Clash was yet another amazing book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic, and is sadly the last book in the series. It’s really hard saying goodbye to such a good series because I loved reading about Elliot and her men. This series is definitely one of my favourite series by Sadie Moss so far!
Clash is such an addictive and wonderful read. I finished this book in two days and it would’ve been one day if I didn’t have to study. Every book in the series is so fast paced and well written, it’s easy to get in the story and fall in love with the characters!
The last chapter of Clash was one of the best and sexiest endings ever! I’m sad and happy that this series is over. Who wouldn’t be happy with an ending like that?! I just couldn’t stop smiling the entire time. Elliot and her men are just such amazing characters and they deserve their happily ever after!
Clash was such a good book and I cannot wait to read another series by Sadie Moss!

What an ending! I loved ever second of this book and this series. I love that in this book the relationships are solid. They know where they stand with each other. This book mainly focuses on Elliot getting stronger and the battle. We get to meet Asher's family which was really, really fun. I liked seeing some more background with the guys.
It was an all around good time. The story was wrapped up nicely. I don't feel like there were any loose ends. I love these characters and I am sad to see them go

What an ending!! Very satisfied. The first book was rocky but I held on coz I was interested in the world building and Elliot and her men. As the series progresses, the books got better and better. I really like this series and definitely will check out her other books!!

Clash by Sadie Moss is a medium-burn paranormal academy reverse harem romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Sarah Puckett. This is the sixth and final book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series.
Sadie did an amazing job on wrapping up the series. I absolutely loved Elliot, Cam, Asher, Roman, and Dimitri. I cannot wait to dive into more of Sadie’s book in the future.
Sarah did an amazing job on the narration! I love that she uses different voices/tones for each character. She really knows how to bring a story to life.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romances, academy romances, or reverse harems.

Overall this was an OK series but it did not need to be this damn long. The villain turns out to be a nobody and is more powerful than the entire magical community. Takes everyone 6 books to get to the bottom of it and it's still all done without the help of the magic government. I really wish there was a better epilogue into the future to show how the world has changed. I'd have enjoyed seeing the group years down the road perhaps with a family or sending their own kid off to magical school. Though I am wondering if there will be more in this universe and maybe even her sister will get a book or series. Took me quite awhile after about the third book to get through these and I'm glad to be done.

I really didn't want this series to end. I adored all of the characters in this book. I cheered them on! I wanted to fight with them. It was amazing how many twists and turns the entire series took. I could see myself rereading this book. The fact that one of my favorite narrators narrates this book is only part of the reason. A small part at that. I am glad that I discovered this series because of her though. I would also love to read other books by this author. I want to get all of them in ebook and audiobooks. Also, I'm totally in love with all of these covers! I may have even picked up a book girlfriend from this!

Finally
At first I was a little disappointed with the series because of unnecessary explanations about things said like looking out for her sister because her mom died, about their seating arrangement whenever they were at an assembly or just eating at the table. I know I should review this book,but I had to get that out of the way. This was my favorite out of the six due to fact it had a little more action. Also, I enjoyed that practically everyone made it out alive. I wish Dmitri parents would have verbally reconcile with him even though they showed support with Unpredictable. I loved Asher family. I think it could have been done in 3-4 books instead of 6.

This book was the final in the series and it continued being a nice blend of action, steamy romance and fun magic. The entire series was fast-paced and though in some places I wish it would have been a little more in depth, I found the entire thing entertaining. I enjoyed Roman’s journey from where he was in the beginning to how relationships with his ‘Reckless’ changed him (and her). As usual, the writing flows very well and is well-edited. Always looking forward to what this author will come up with next!

Witches/RH MMM/Academy
SYNOPSIS (of all 6 Books): This series is set in a world where there are witches but the humans do not know about them. The FC (Elliott) has been supporting her younger sister since their mother died and their father deserted them. She discovers that she has “unpredictable magic” which means she must go to an academy to learn how to control it. In the magic world unpredictable magic is looked down on as some kind of abomination and those with it are treated as lesser. Whilst each Book has its own specific sub-story the main story arc covers all 5 books and relates to an attack on predicable magic and those that practice it. There are obligatory mean girls and ultimately a HEA.
The books are well written and the editing is not bad although there are a few errors but not enough to really impact the readers enjoyment. For me, however, I found the story to be lacking in originality - FC who thought she had no magic but does, turns out to be an amazing witch and saves the world while having an adoring harem that follows her around like puppies. I could live with that as very few of this kind of book are original if the series was well written or had depth. I found this series to be lacking both.
Each book (until Book 5 with the climax) seems to follow the same pattern. There is some kind of mystery, the FC is the only one who can solve it and save the day and she does. This is despite the fact that there are stronger witches around. Apparently the FC is the only one clever enough and strong enough to be the hero. This is despite the fact that the FC’s powers are not particularly strong (until the end) or that she knows how to use them. The MCs are more for window dressing that actual action.
There are the required mean girls but the story line for them makes little sense. Why they suddenly decide to pick on Elliott is lame to begin with but why they then, despite Elliott having nothing to do with them, continue to harass her makes no sense. It’s as if the author decided that this element was required to add drama but it doesn’t’ as it has no real context or rationale to it.
There are disjoints in the story, like the mean girls, where things are introduced seemingly just to add drama but again, with no real context and are then dropped. By example, the FC’s father ran out on them when she was young. He suddenly pops up in Book 4. The FC, who is supposed to be strong and kick ass says nothing about his prior behaviour or anything. She just sucks it up, hugs him and says nothing. That goes completely against her character. Other than this meeting there is only one other very brief meeting with the FC’ father. He plays no real role and it makes you question why he was even introduced into the story. There’s no explanation as to why he ran out on his family or what he has been doing or anything. Another drama tactic was the whole engagement/wedding storyline which seems to have been introduced just to provide a cliffhanger. It comes out of nowhere and then just disappears. Again, not integral to the story just a mechanism to try and introduce drama.
The background for Roman makes little sense as well except as a lame attempt to show Roman as “damaged” and “angsty”. Whilst you can understand an accident where one of his family die it is hard to construct a situation where they all stand around and wait for him to touch them and drain them. The author doesn’t bother to explain how this is supposed to have happened or why Roman was not locked up as a consequence.
There’s a decent amount of heat in the sex scenes and they are not too plentiful. The main problem for me was the lack of world and character building and the superficiality of the plot. It could have been better.

Honestly, this was a great read. It was engaging, and I really enjoyed Elliott's personality. Out of all of the guys, Dima and Roman are my favorite, but that's definitely because I have a thing for broken, broody, dark-haired men...lol
I have two serious complaints, however. The first was that she kept referring to Cam as "the blond haired mage." Like ma'am, he's your boyfriend. We know what he looks like. Please use his name.
The second is that I feel like the author spent so much time recapping things at the beginning of each book. It felt like it dragged on at points. There was so much repetition in the explanations of the relationship with her family and her guys that it almost felt like I was reading the same book for the first few pages of each.
I guess I have three, I lied. One of the most annoying things about this series was the giant time skips. Full weeks went by, and then the story picked up like nothing was missed. I also feel that for the first 5 out of 6 books, the relationship with Roman was almost treated like an afterthought. How do you go weeks without seeing one of your guys that you claim to be madly in love with???
Do I believe this could have been done in 5 books?
Sure.
Did I still read all 6 of them and enjoy every minute?
Absolutely.
That being said, I don't believe any of those points I listed above detract from my 4.5 star rating.

Wow, thats pretty much all I can say about this series by Sadie Moss! I loved every second of it and am super sad its over 😭. I want to know how the characters are doing hahaha. Dang it, book hangovers are so real.
So I won't go spoiling anything in terms of the story. I thought Sadie did a fabulous job giving us a great build-up, pinnacle, and wrap-up. A lot of series can go too quickly and give a lackluster ending, but this was not the case with Clash. We got to see how kick-butt Elliott and her men are (and even her little sister!!). I loved all the battles and mind games. The ending made me smile and so happy. 5/5, one of my favorite series of 2020 for me (I know its only April, but I don't see this changing anytime soon haha)
For the narration, what else can I say about Sarah Puckett! She brought these characters to life, no doubt about it. I loved listening to this series and was so happy I took a chance (I usually do listen to this long of a series because the wait time is usually super long). Phenomenal job, Sarah, please don't quit this job. I would be super sad haha.
Highly 100000% recommend this series. Can't wait to dive into her other ones once I get more credits saved up ❤️

WOW! what a finish! this was a great way to cap off this series! (epilogue = sex scene? not exactly the norm but you know i’ll take it ;))
i thought this was really good! i had 3 quote unquote issues with it overall (hence the -.5 star) but other than them it was super!
one thing that kind of stuck out to me in a bad way was the antagonist. i didn’t really love who they chose as the antagonist. i wish it had been someone with a connection to the rest of the characters so that it had more of an emotional payoff and acted as a mystery with which character we’ve met that it could be. also, i thought the antagonist's motive was really weak. it was super stereotypical and not all that complex. making it more unique would have been better. as time has passed since i've read this, i have become very passionate about this.
this is my official pitch for this book in terms of the antagonist: it should've been her dad. it should've been her fucking dad. there was so much potential for this to be good. let's say elliot's dad daniel is an unpredictable. he grew up in a super restrictive household where they drilled magical racism against unpredictables into his brain since birth. he discovers he is an unpredictable himself once his powers come in. he has internalized racism towards his unpredictable magic and is super ashamed of himself as a result. he's able to keep this a secret from his family at first, but then they find out and disown him. he hates unpredictable magic since it ruined his life in this way and wants to distance himself from the community as much as possible. his power is that he has the ability to sense out other mage's powers before they display them. he marries elliot's mom and they have her and maddy. he keeps his unpredictable powers a secret from his wife and children too. even well before elliot's powers come in, he is able to sense that she is an unpredictable. he is horrified that he passed down this part of himself that he believes to be so insanely shameful and abhorrent to her, so he leaves them in order to continue distancing himself from unpredictable magic. this feels especially necessary to him in this case since elliot is a constant reminder of not only unpredictables in general, but also his status as an unpredictable. he doesn't want to be associated with her for this reason. the sinclair girls obviously don't know this is the reason he left, so they assume he's just a terrible man who abandoned his family. elliot sees her mom struggle on her own with the two of them, plus becomes a victim of eldest daughter syndrome by having to be a second mother to maddy once she dies, causing her to hate her father for leaving - understandably and as she should. the story plays out as normal after this, until daniel shows up at the academy on an assignment to investigate the unusual happenings going on there and tries to reconnect with elliot. in my version, he sees this as a ‘final test’ for unpredictables to be redeemed in his eyes. he also does this because even while being disgusted with the fact that elliot is hereditarily unpredictable because of him, he regrets not trying to have a relationship with his own daughter for something out of her control. maddy, a 'normal' water bender, is willing to try and forgive him as she was very young when he left and didn't fully feel the impact of his abandonment, plus is just a very sensitive and compassionate person, but elliot is having none of it. she resents him tremendously and refuses to forgive him. this impertinence from elliot acts as daniel's final straw; since his unpredictable daughter wants nothing to do with him, he has no reason to have mercy for unpredictables any longer and now all bets are off. elliot is his offspring who shares his unpredictable magic due to his genetics and she rejected him vehemently; he sees this as reinforcement of his idea that he is a shameful disgrace. now, this is true due to his actions, but he relates it back to his unpredictable magic. he is so angered by elliot's dismissal of him, the shame from it that he holds towards himself, and the general racism he has towards unpredictables as a social group, that he formulates an evil plan to eradicate all unpredictables. the rest of the story would play out the same as how it did in the actual books, but with daniel in the place of augustin. now elliot and co. have an emotional attachment to the antagonist and the antagonist has actual reasons for doing what he is doing rather than just 'i want world domination because i just do'. it would cause internal suffering within elliot as she would have inappropriate guilt over believing she could've prevented all this drama by just giving her dad another chance even though she didn't know that would've prevented all of this. it also gives elliot more complexity since she has to grapple with the idea of killing her own dad. yeah she hates him, but that’s still a hard decision, especially since maddy might feel bad about that. the ending would play out the same as well but this time would be even more satisfying since daniel's downfall would come at the hands of elliot and her harem - all of whom are unpredictables. the thing he was trying to destroy is the very thing that destroys him. i'm not a writer or anything and this might not be amazing, but it still would've been better than augustin 🙄
most of the beginning and the middle of this kinda dragged a weeeeeeee bit, so that could have been better. although the end was action packed, so that made up for it.
also i kind of wish we had gotten to see how other characters had ended up after the story ended in the epilogue. you know i love the direction they chose, (^ wink wink ^), but it would have been nice to just get an idea of what happened to everyone else. it’s a 6 book series, you get attached to them, ya know?
other than these things, i enjoyed all the other aspects of this. things came up that kept it super interesting and it was fun to follow how this resolution was gonna go down.
so yeah, this was a super fun series! magical world saving and orgys, where can you go wrong?? ✨🫦

Audiobook Review:
This one felt shorter than the previous books, and yet it addressed everything it needed to and gave a fantastic ending. Elliot and her men (with the help of family and friends) were needed to bring the overall issue in this series to a conclusion. And I really liked how it all came together. I also like how well Sadie Moss wrote the relationship development for Elliot and the guys. She gave them all one on one time as well as some group moments and I felt the relationship was stronger in the end despite the many obstacles thrown at them this time around. From start to finish it all felt well-paced and built up to achieve the right level of listening entertainment.
Sarah Puckett did a great job once again as the narrator for this book and the entire series. She’s come to be one of my favorite voices in paranormal and reverse harem romance. She does multiple tones for the many different characters as were needed and I just had no complaints. She was an enjoyable voice to listen to for me when performing these amazingly written stories.

OMG! this was a really nice and awesome conclusion to this series and I absolutely loved it!
Elliot is one of my new favourite women in reverse harem, I love that there is no slut-shaming, no tearing down of all other women to showcase how awesome she is.
I like how she and her guys are all believable characters in the way that they sometimes need some space/time for themselves and are not attached at the hip 24/7, definitely makes for a more believable relationship/story.
The relationship between Elliot and Maddy is a very sweet one as well, one of the nicer sibling relationships I've seen so far in books.
I gotta be honest, I was so darn sure that I knew who the evil mastermind was, but thankfully I was wrong so yay!

My final conclusion of this series . . . I like it. Unfortunately I have an amazing imagination so when I read, it's like playing a movie in my head. So you just imagine how hard it was to read this book with all the fighting and sex. I don't read books like this usually but I'm getting used to it. This has to be the most sexual book series I've EVER laid my eyes on and I'm not sure if I'm okay with that or not but anyway it was a good book. I've getting used to the polyamorous idea. I'll be honest, I have never heard of a polyamorous relationship before and its... its different. But I like reading about it. I'm starting to fall in love with reverse harem stories so pls if you know of any more than PLS TELL ME!

I lost interest in this book partway through and had to put it down and come back later. I think it’s because I found it too predictable, and maybe the series went on for longer than it needed to. Also, there were other issues. In one scene, the characters get ambushed by a demon, defeat if, and start celebrating without checking for other threats. So then of course another demon attacks and makes off with one of the girls. And of course Elliot doesn’t remember she’s got powers to use against the demon, instead running after it and letting it escape. Huge eye roll. Why does the author insist on making the characters into idiots, which is inconsistent with how supposedly brilliant and heroic they are at other times?

5 stars for Clash by Sadie Moss. This is the 6th and final book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series. Holy crap what an epic ending. Everything comes together in this monumental battle. It a battle between good and evil , a battle between what’s right and what’s wrong. “He’s here for me.”
“If we don’t fight for the people we love, then how are we better than the person we’re supposed to be fighting?” This book has everything: war, drama, sex, love, and so much more. Elliot, her guys, and the rest of the team must fight for who they are. I loved everything about this book and how everything came together. This is another great series from Sadie Moss.

This is what we have been working towards the last five books. We get to move around a lot in here. We visit Ash’s family and we get to meet the necromancer from Roman’s past. Everyone gets to strengthen up their magical skills in preparation for the final showdown. There is a ton of action and well...plenty of love scenes as well. A couple of those I don’t get and we really don’t get answers to why but whatever.
This is a nice round out everything final book. It is a wonderful series. Not sure how it’s a medium burn it seems more than that to me. I did listen to this on audio. Sarah Puckett was outstanding. She rocked this series.

WOW!!! I was pulled in from the beginning! Fabulous paranormal/fantasy world, I absolutely love this series of books, the action starts slowly and builds, The characters are well defined early on and blossom throughout the series, you can feel the tension building between the main characters early in the series which develop wonderfully as each book progresses. Very well written storey. There are no cliff hangers as such but each book always leaves you wanting more so be warned though once you start reading this series you won’t be able to put the books down so be prepared for some binge reading.
