The Smoky Hills Academy: Book 1-4
THE COMPLETE SERIES
Welcome to Smoky Hills
#1 in Football #1 in Shifters
The Quarterback Shifter
Cora
Mom and I just needed a place to start over. Somewhere to move on from the past that haunts us.
Smoky Hills, Tennessee seemed to be exactly what we needed.
Here, I could be invisible.
That is, until quarterback Liam Bronson decides I’m important.
Even though there are plenty of girls who would love his attention, he doesn’t seem to care. The way he stares at me is like I’m the only one that matters, even in a room full of people.
Like he chose me.
Then I discover his secret. The animal that lives inside of him. He tells me to leave. That it’s not safe for a human.
If only my heart didn’t pound when he was around. If only he wasn’t so kind. If only he wasn’t exactly what I need in my life, I could honor his wish.
Lucky for me, I’m not part of his pack.
I don’t have to obey.
The Fullback Protector
Rose
I know my parent’s death wasn’t accidental. And I won’t stop until I find answers.
I can't help the desire I have to discover the mystery of Smoky Hills forest. Even though I know it's crazy, I can’t help but wonder if there are creatures that roam our woods and I can't help but wonder if they took part in that fateful night.
The night I was made an orphan.
Determined to get answers, I start with Fullback Grayson Keller. He’s big. He’s burly. But he’s the only one who can’t seem to look me in the eye.
Even though it takes some convincing, he agrees to help—until I begin to dig a little too deep.
Suddenly, he wants to pull away. And somehow I care more about that than the answers I’ve been looking for.
Why did I let him into my life? Why did I let myself care? Why did I ever think this would end in a pretty little bow?
My obsession for answers doesn’t seem to matter. Not when Grayson leaves.
Not when it might even be my fault.
The Wide Receiver Outcast
Brielle
My brother is gone. Vanished. Disappeared.
Which is not like him at all. Not when he promised to never leave me alone in Smoky Hills. Even though I pretend I’m strong, I know I’m not. Not without Grayson. If only I could find him and bring him back, my chaotic life would finally return to normal.
Before I can even create a plan, another shifter from the woods shows up, making Smoky Hills his home. Matthew Young, the new wide receiver.
He's dark. He's brooding. And he has all other shifters on edge. As if there's a reason he's here that he's not telling us.
So I take it upon myself to discover who he is and why he's here. After all, that's what Grayson would do. And I’m trying to reinvent myself. This seems like the perfect way to do it.
Only, once I get to know Matthew, I soon discover that perhaps, there's a different side to him. One that he's hesitant to share.
His secrets come to light and I find myself torn between helping him and saving my brother, who perhaps, doesn't want to be saved after all.
The War Between the Packs
Tensions escalate in Smoky Hills as the warring pack battles to see who the new alpha will be.
Friends are pitted against each other and human's lives are at risk.

Was pretty okay. Feel like there was a lot of build up and it ended a bit abruptly. Characters and relationships were intriguing and kept me interested but felt like she had difficulties with tying everything up at the end.

I Loved these four books especially the ending in the last book, couldn't think of a more perfect ending, but what would be perfect if someone made it into a tv series and each book was a season. And if there was an extra 5th season that showed Cora in the pack, was happened with Grayson and Rose, what happened with Brielle and Matthew. I would just be amazing and probably my favorite show ever if it happened.

Overall I would say this was an okay story for me. It started out with a lot of potential and promise of the love story between our characters and their having to fight for it against the pack in the woods as it was forbidden to be with humans even when you fate with them. It felt a little short in compelling that part of the story for me with all the back and forth that Liam did with Cora but it was still a good story and we get to see more than one couple have to go through things in order to come back together with all the issues going on. There is plenty of action and intrigue as the story continues and it does move from one to the other with the next one picking up right after so I was very glad to be listening to the box set. Overall, this was an entertaining story and the narrator did a good job with it.

This reads more like a serial rather than 4 books. Not a fan of Cora , our 1st heroine. She was rather whinny and didn't lead to much character growth.
Would have enjoyed backstory on Noah and Evan as well as an epilogue on Briellie and Mathew and Rose and Grayson.
Overall the book just seemed unfinished with many missing details.

weak ending compared to the other books
All of the other books in the series did a nice job building to this big ending….then it just fizzled out in a rushed conclusion. Kind of disappointed I stuck with it.

Great YA series
I scrolled through this boxset hoping there would be a bonus that was not in the individual books I did find one. This is a really good YA series that I will be hanging on to for my girls to read in a few years.

Wanted more
It was a good read. It kept me wanting to read more. But I wanted more of an ending. It felt a bit abrupt.

Quick and easy paranormal romances.

It was an easy ok YA read. I wish there was more character development for the main characters. It seemed a bit rushed but for a YA read it was good.

Not bad
I enjoyed the series. However, I hated the relationship between Cora and Liam to be honest. I don't want to give it away but the book would have definitely been 5 stars if Cora wasn't crying or heart broken majority of the book to only be happy years later. It just didn't sit right with me. I also wish we could have known where the other characters ended up.
