Academy of the Damned #1
Curse of Stone
Supposedly, witches can’t kill. But Madison accidentally killed her boyfriend, and now a girl at her witch academy is dead, too.
Madison spent her life avoiding her magical abilities, but when she’s forced to use them to save her best friend from a deadly storm and accidentally kills her boyfriend as a result, she decides she needs to enroll at La Voisin School for Young Witches after all.
She knew starting a year later than her peers would come with its own struggles; she just never expected one of those struggles would be the impossible murder of a classmate. The school is spelled for safety, and witches can’t kill…so how did Giselle end up dead?
Only Giselle and her killer know, and only Madison can find out. Because now, the dead witch is haunting her. Crazy thing is, Giselle’s murder isn’t even the biggest secret this school has.
Just ask the statues.

It’s taken me a week to read this. I’m sorry to say It just didn’t hold my attention. I even found myself reluctant to pick up my kindle.
I found Madison to be a bit grating which didn’t help. But I was interested in the statues so I kept reading. The potion part didn’t win me over but I kept reading intrigued by the statues. My problem is the statue storyline looks like it’s going to run the course of the series. I’m not warming to Madison or any of the characters really. So this combined with the fact that I’m finding it very slow going I’ve decided not to continue on.

BIAS WARNING!
Curse of Stone is the Best Young Adult Magical Academy story I've yet to read, and I've read heaps and heaps. Veronica Shade writes like a seasoned professional crossed with someone savvy in Young Adult culture. Most impressive is Shade's depth of knowledge in every area she touches on in the book.
To begin, Madison is a cheerleader at her high school in Turkey Hollow, Oklahoma. Her boyfriend, Beau, is on the football team and is a stunningly gorgeous Native Cherokee boy.
However, as blissfully happy as one would think Madison to be, she deals daily with the not-so- secret of her Mother's drug addiction. Without the help of her friend, Julieta's mother, Madison might have given up long ago.
I was encouraged by the description of the addict's cycle and how it affects a child. Madison's decision making, among other life skills, are powerfully affected by the dysfunctional relationship with her Mother. Shade deftly weaves the information into the story, making it organically available to the reader.
Through an extremely tragic situation (remember we're in Oklahoma) Madison, who has always known she is an air witch, is brought to a place where she must decide which is better for her, to stay with her Mother or to go to Massachusetts, to train her witch gifts.
Curse of the Stone is chock full of malevolent secrets, back-biting roommates, new best friends and opportunities for fun, fear, contests and skill mastery. Most of all, as the reader, you will get to be deeply involved in the lives of the student witches at La Voisin Academy. And you will love it.

Madison has done her best to avoid using her powers as a witch, but she is forced to use them as a deadly storm hits suddenly and she needs to save her best friend - however, it accidentally kills her boyfriend and so she is determined to go to La Voisin School for Young Witches in order to find out how to use her powers correctly (and safely). She knows being behind her classmates is going to be a struggle but she never expected that one of those would be the murder of one of her classmates. Her main thought is if the school is spelled for safety and witches are unable to kill, how did Giselle get murdered and by who? Madison resolves to find how it happened and who was responsible especially as Giselle is currently haunting her. Added to that mystery the biggest one seems to be related to the statues - if only she could ask them.
This was definitely a good book to start the series out as it laid out a lot of the background and key pieces of information that I'm sure will be expanded on as the story is enlarged on in subsequent books. I liked the crazy dynamic between Madison and her mother which could be recognisable by some families even if it didn't involve drugs. Well written, it was easy to understand and I felt invested in Madison and her current car crash of a life. The next instalment will hopefully expand on the key elements of the story as well as introduce new ones.

There is a lot of world building in this first book and it is fone well. This is a unique take on the urban fantasy genre. There is a large cast of characters introduced, however it is done in a way that is easy to follow and keep track of. Maddison is an untrained witch going through a lot with blows that keep coming from her personal life. The academy is full of intrigue. The characters are interesting. The mysteries are more complex than they first appear. I seriously want to know about the statues! That plotline sucked me in. I was surprised by the killer reveal. I definitely want to read the next book.

I really liked Madison as she has had a raw in life and decides to take control after a devastating accident. La Voisin Academy for witches might help her with her powers but it is still high school with mean girls, new friends, pressure to excel, but they also have murder and ghosts. We get to see Madison not only try and fit in at school but also try and solve a murder with the help of her friends which leads to suspense, mystery, laughs and intrigue. I can't wait to read book two and see what happens next!.

There Madison is bullied by the popular girl Giselle then Madison finds out that Giselle is her roommate but something happens to Giselle and Madison is under suspicion and she is determined to get to the bottom of it all.

Madison has always tried to keep her powers hidden. When her best friend is in danger, she does everything she can to protect her, but it comes at a price. She decided it might be best to head to a special school that can help her gain more control of her powers and she takes off. She has a bit of a rocky start and ends up with a roommate that can't stand her. Along the way she makes a few good friends.
I really enjoyed watching Madison make her way through her new school, and friendships. Her group of friends are great and I can't wait to see what these 4 get up to in the next book.

Though this book started off as another witch who doesn't know much about her power and goes off to a magical school to train, this book turned out to be much more.
Unlike most academy books, this girl doesn't have much trouble with her peers (except 1 - her roommate) but still gets embroiled in a mystery.
This book turned out to be a fast paced, easy to read, intriguing and fun read.
Loved every single page of this book and I can't wait to read more about Madison's adventures.

First things first, this book is excellent!! There are so many things that this book broke out of the usual tropes in this genre. I really enjoyed how even though there is some romance in the book it is not the main focus which usually happens. I felt so bad for Madison with the situations she deals with her mother on, as a girl her age really needs her mother for some of the situations she finds herself in. I can not wait to read more of this series!

Wow! I was caught up in this book from the first page and hated to get to the end. Between Madison's trials and the mysteries involved it kept me turning pages. It was fulfilling to watch Madison blossom in spite of adversaries. Loved it and can hardly wait for the next one. The mysterious statue really has my curiosity piqued.

This is a really awesome book. I got caught up in it in the first chapter and I couldnt put it down. The characters are real and the story is well written with a hint of mystery to it. I thought the story to be very enjoyable and I am looking forward to book two.

This was an interesting plot. I liked the murder mystery about it. There wasn’t any romance. And there is something going on with the statues but it wasn’t a main plot. Which was a little confusing.
I like Madison and her leaning into her powers. She has a flighty personality which got a little annoying. Her friends didn’t seem like friends? They were just there.
Overall I liked the concept of this book. The murder mystery was well done and interesting. The random potion creating didn’t flow well. I don’t think I will continue the series.

Glad I checked it out!
I really liked this book and will be looking to read the next installment. The story was absorbing and the characters interesting enough, although I would have liked more development for more than just the main character.
I would have rated it four stars, but the manuscript needed proofreading to fix annoying errors, and a little judicious editing would have improved the flow.
Still, I would recommend it to those of you who enjoy what I'll call "academic paranormal" stories.

This was a good read. Madison decides to enroll at the academy after something bad happens. While here she is told that witches can't kill. Yet someone is killed. Now Madison has to figure out what is going on. She soon discovers the school is hiding secrets.

This book was full of drama, suspense and strong character building. Madison is a witch who accidentally kills her boyfriend while protecting her best friend. She is so traumatized that she goes to La Voison a school for witches to learn how to control her magic. She is immediately thrown into suspense and a murder but has the help of 3 friends she met at the school.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters are strong and comforting to Madison as she navigates this new world of witchcraft.

I really enjoyed that book! From the first chapter, I was completely committed and involved with the story and the main character, Madison.
Madison's first few weeks in her new magic school don't go as smoothly as she would have hoped. It reminded me of another really popular series... Group of friends working together to solve a mystery. A young witch from a mundane (Muggle / mortal) family realises she's a lot more powerful than everyone had originally thought. Yep, it definitely has a Harry Potter feel throughout 😉
The end of the book gives you enough closure to satisfy you, but not quite enough that you won't want to read book 2. Speaking of, I've already bought it and can't wait to make a start 😀

I found "Curse of the Stone" to be a very enjoyable read. It breaks a lot of standard tropes I've read in a lot of recent paranormal series. It's listed in the Urban paranormal romance, so as a male reader of female written urban paranormal I was a little bit skeptical. Keep in mind that I don't object to romance in my stories. Romance is part of life. My problem is that many of the books that fall into this category allow the romance to become the dominant trait of the book, burying the narrative in an often absurd romance story.
The narrative of the book defies its own genre designation. As the summary indicates, Madison accidentally kills her boyfriend. In what world can you build a romance from that start. And yet, so many books I tend to dislike do just that. The heroines too frequently immediately move on without any recognition of grief in order to present what often feels like a manipulated or implausible romantic scenario "Karma cough, cough" or she hates him but is secretly drawn to him . So, having the main heroine avoid romantic entanglements was the first refreshing surprise of this book.
Other annoying tropes can be leveled at just about any paranormal series. Often the main protagonist has trust issues and stuff that would plausibly be discussed with friends or mentors aren't, building an often false tension in the book. Madison genuinely doesn't trust those around her and for reasons that are well presented. She's a complete outsider in just about every aspect of her life, so it is unsurprising she has trust issues. That said, as she gets to know some people and make friends, she does develop trust and shares her insights and opinions in well-measured, reasoned doses.
So, for me, the character's experiences ring true even though it is set in a paranormal universe. The author(s) of this book has created a really interesting new world, but just like the real world, what everyone is taught doesn't always add up. Furthermore, though Madison is presented as smart and potentially powerful, she's not annoyingly "omnipotent, but just doesn't know it yet." She actually needs and receives help from those around her and such help is presented as a natural part of life and her existence. Often the help she needs is a consequence of her lack of knowledge about the world she now inhabits or a lack of adequate training. but, she can learn from those around her.
Also, for what appears to be a book aimed at young adult readers there are some serious adult themes in the book. You learn quickly that her mother is a drug addict, which has consequences, and she does accidentally kill her boyfriend in what is presented as a traumatic event for Madison. There are also some fairly complex adult relationships that are presented in the book as well.
All in all, I found this to be an enjoyable read set in an interesting world with a really interesting main protagonist. We'll see where the story goes from here, but I'll definitely pick up the next book to check out Madison's further exploits.

Will take all of them to find out who killed Giselle. Try to figure out the notebook and the mystery of the statues.
This is a really good, original story to read. The author keeps the read wondering who committed the crime but also wondering what is going on with the statues. Love the friendship, possible relationship between Madison and Jaxon.
I can't wait for more in this series to see what is going with Madison and everything else.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
