Kiya Covington is your typical teenager — she deals with family stuff, friend drama, her mom, who is… a challenge. Oh, and she’s a witch. Actually, she comes from a long line of Black witches, but that’s just ordinary life for Kiya. When tragedy strikes at home, instead of being comforted by her family, she’s sent off to the exclusive Black Isis Witch Academy. From the little information she’s given, it’s the academy where witches from all the best Black witch families go for “finishing”. Black Isis sits protected by ancient magic, undisturbed in The Great Dismal Swamp in North Carolina. What happens during her first year at Black Isis is beyond anything Kiya could have imagined. She and the other “baby witches” will forge bonds and break them as they learn what it means to study their craft under the watchful eye of Headmistress Pendergrass, at Black Isis Witch Academy.
Black Isis is the spellbinding story of Kiya Covington, a young, Black teenage witch. If you want a story filled with the adventures of teenage witches learning their craft in a witch academy unlike any other, Black Isis Witch Academy is for you.

I enjoyed this read and found it fresh and very intriguing. I thought that this book offered a gripping balance between emotionally moving and thrilling and exciting. Kiya was a great character. She came across as very genuine and I felt quite relatable. I found this book quite original and would love to see more books about these characters and the Witch Academy.
