Featherstone Academy: Volume II
RED & FREEDOM BOXSET INCLUDING AN EXTRA 21,000 WORDS!
“To convince a man to marry you, you have to be what they envision. Pretty, quiet, caring, and barefoot in the kitchen.”
My mother's expectations have never wavered. I’m determined to be more, even if it is within the confines of Featherstone Academy. I'm tired of being forced into a mold I don't fit in. I want to be me, however that looks. Finding myself, and understanding what matters, is my number one focus over everything else.
Taking inspiration from my reading obsession, I know what I want my life to look like, but getting it is a completely different issue. I'm trying to keep my love life under wraps so nobody can interfere or watch me crash and burn as I try to lose my weak persona. My senses are flooded with the new temptations that surround me. The deepest voice that makes my insides melt, a searing hot touch from the campus playboy, and the stormy gaze of the world's biggest jackass. Along with them comes a deeper exposure into the Featherstone life.
Watching Featherstone close in around my friends, dealing with parental issues, relationship drama, and a stalker, makes me realize I’m drowning in trouble. Let the sambuca shots burn my throat as I get lost in my own journey of shedding my old skin, and becoming Red

I absolutely love Red and her WAM sandwich. Her light in such a dark world. Seeing her growth, confidence, and love is amazing. I loved reading her story again and that extended epilogue is absolutely everything.

KC Kean is an RH Queen! (That rhymed - sort of hahah) I seriously love this world that KC has created with all the angst and build up, plenty of romance and limbs, and these characters that just drag you in from the start. I love how captivating these stories are! If you love RH and dark romance with plenty of angst seriously check this boxset out! I recommend starting with the first volume though with Luna’s story and then reading this one for Red’s story.

I was so happy to get to read about Jess and the guys! I was looking forward to it after it being teased in the first 3 books. After having read these 2, though, I have to say that this is definitely not a standalone story. If you haven't read the first 3 books about Luna, you will be so lost. You will literally have no idea what is going on.
I didn't like just how intertwined this book was with the first 3, though. I get that there will be overlaps, and there will probably be a lot, but this was practically the whole first book. I was reliving everything, just from a different POV. I wanted to have more focus on Jess and her guys.
There seemed to be a lot of time between her mom giving her ultimatum and them getting her dad back. Her mom just expected her to play along? It felt strange. If she wanted to get firm control, there would have been little, if any, time between her threat and forcing Jess to marry Reece. Jess has been ignoring her mom the whole time, but now all of a sudden her mom thinks it will change?
I am glad to have gotten this story, but I will not move on to the last one. I don't care enough about this world to continue, and I really don't care enough about Wren. I am looking forward to moving on.

This was amazing! I loved this so more than any in the original trilogy! I love Jess so much. I love her men too but Jess is my top FMC of 2024. I loved her in Luna’s books but to have her own? It’s amazing. I’m so happy that she got her happy ending with her men and got her good for nothing mother out of her life. I love that Juliana has become basically a mother to her. She deserves to have someone like her around. I love this book and these characters so much. Also Maverick and Aiden are sooooo cute together.

That extended epilogue 😍
I absolutely love Red and her guys. Red brings out the best in everyone and her guys stand by her and make her stronger.
Having read their story before I got the box set just for the extended epilogue and it is absolute perfection and had me smiling the whole way through.

Loved Red when we meet her in Luna’s story and ecstatic to see those events in her eyes. She gets a super hot harem that she whole heartedly deserves! Great story with a very satisfying conclusion to Red’s story.

Awesome
This duet was awesome. I lived getting to read from Reds point of view and watching as her and her guys find their way, as well as all the crazy she was going thru while Luna and her guys were going thru theirs.

Wonderful Addition
Jess deserves a happy ending!! Not going to lie, Red made me so made about half way through this book, I wanted to not finish. But I pushed through and it was so worth. These books are amazing additions to the Featherstone family.

Here we get Reds story, Luna's best friend and my word what a story! It's another dark steamy read, Jess has found herself in WAM sandwich and I am well jealous!
Violence, danger, steam, friendships, found family and characters that you can't help but love!

The whole series was totally dead on. If you're new to the series, volume one is Luna's story and volume two is Red's story. And both of them together is awesome.

Red is not my favorite, especially after reading Lunas story. Maverick and Aiden are my favorite and redeemed this book. West was ok.

So when i fell in love with Luna and her guys in Featherstone Academy I already knew I was going to need Reds story. I’m a massive fan of females supporting females and Red and Luna are friendship goals. This book starts at the beginning of Jessica’s time at Featherstone Academy and ends at the events in Our Bloodline so we get to catch up with all of the guys and see things from a slightly different perspective.
I adore Jessica and learning about why she wants to break out and be her own person is brilliant.
I feel like so much of the story was spent focuses on things other than the relationship but the book was still a great read. Jessica definitely has a few challenges to overcome but ultimately is helps herself. There is enough spice and it’s a great spin off series.
I loved the storyline and each of the guys linked to our leading lady. I’m not going to name them as I think that one of them was definitely a surprise to me and I think that if you loved the previous books you need to read these too. The extra 20,000 ish words definitely helped to round out the story and the extra POVs were the icing on the cake.

This boxset is Jess's complete duet with additional content and an extended epilogue. It had added steam and more of Jess and her men.
Red
The first part in Jess' story did not disappoint after following Luna's trilogy. This is the fourth book in the Featherstone Academy series but the first in Jess' duet. To get a full understanding of timeline, events, world building, and overall plot; the first three books must be read. Jess' story run parallel to events that happen during those three books. This is well written and a story I could not put down.
Freedom
This is an incredible and gripping second and last book in Red's story. This continues Red's story pick us seamlessly from where the last book left off. It is well written with incredible character and relationship development. There is plenty of steam and a fantastic WAM sandwich. This has me with bittersweet emotions, as this is the end of this series that is filled with lovable characters and a world that is so vividly built that it is easy to get lost in.

This was absolutely fantastic. I’m completely obsessed with Jess aka Red and her WAM sandwich. Love seeing how the storyline links in with volume one - Luna’s story. We see Jess struggle between her mothers wants/expectations and that if her own.
This is book is actioned packed in both Feather Academy business and in the bedroom. This book’s steamy scenes are completely off the charts, love the rh and mm elements.
The storyline is well thought out and written in such detail and emotion I honestly couldn’t put it down. The twists and suspense were perfection.
The extended epilogue blew me away, it really tied everything together perfectly.
I hope to read more books that have links to Featherstone in the future.

I’ve loved Jess since the moment she graced the pages of Luna’s story. It has been such a pleasure to see the world through her eyes and watch her find her strength, her love, and her life throughout this series. The extended epilogue wrecked me in all the right ways. I will not give any spoilers because you deserve to read this ending with fresh eyes and no clue. If we never hear from Red and the guys, I’ll be very sad. However, I’m happy to leave them in their corner of the world where I can revisit them as many times as I’d like during my many planned rereads of this series. It’s perfect.
December 16, 2021
WOW!!! I already loved Red’s story, but that extended epilogue was incredible! Definitely worth it for the boxset!
It was so fun to dive back into the Featherstone world and revisit Jess and her men. She’s so strong, and sassy and just one of my all time favorite characters. I REALLY love her harem too. Maverick, Aiden and West are all so perfect for her in different ways but I love how they interact as a group as well.
If you’re on the fence, or considering reading this one- DO IT!

This is so good! Such a great addition to Featherstone academy and it's about Jess. I love that she got her own book and that KC listened to her readers. I love Maverick, Aiden and my favorite West. They are perfect for each other! I do highly recommend reading book 1 - 3 because these stories interlace and we kinda get a behind the scenes if you will. So in order to understand what is happening you need to read Luna's story. I love we get to see Jess character shine and what she is all about!
December 10, 2021
I absolutely loved Jess’s duet, so all of this bonus content is icing on the cake! Some drama, a whole lotta steam, cameos from Luna and the Aceholes … it was the perfect extended epilogue! Oh and the alternative POV chapters were a great bonus! I’ll never pass up a chance to return to Featherstone 😍
December 10, 2021
Read these when they first came out and no matter how many times I read them they are still fantastic. The fact you have them all in one book now is even better. Would definitely recommend.

Featherstone Academy is one of my favourite worlds.
The extended epilogue was a great ending to Jess’ story. Hers being so different to Luna’s but still very much entwined in that world.
