Brielle Atwater isn't sure of much, but she knows a few things:

1. Having black wings is not normal.
2. Selling her soul to the demons was a mistake.
3. Lincoln Grey is the biggest *** she's ever met … but not falling in love with him might prove impossible.

When angels fell from the sky to war with the demons that ravaged Earth, their combined powers infected humanity. Now, the humans are assigned one of two fates, being either demon gifted or angel blessed.

After wings sprout from Brielle's back at her awakening ceremony, she's sure she's an angel blessed celestial. It's not until she sees black wings that she realizes something is terribly wrong.

Having sold her contract at a young age to save her father's life means she should be bound for Tainted Academy. That is, until a fallen angel unexpectedly fights for her to be accepted into Fallen Academy, the elite school for those that inhabit Angel City.

She's immediately matched with her impossibly handsome celestial teacher, Lincoln Grey. Laying eyes on him, her first thought is that her time at the academy might actually be fun, but this theory quickly fades when she and Lincoln clash on day one. To further prove her admission into Fallen Academy is cursed, the entire school is thrown into chaos when an Abrus demon reveals that he knows Brielle's secret. Now, above all else, Lincoln must fight to protect her.

To his surprise, the only thing more difficult than trying to save her … is trying not to fall for her.

We all know that everything Leia writes is amazing, but this completely blew it outta the water! I thought it would be a typical YA PNR. There would be a hot love interest, some angst, and a spunky best friend. It has all of those things, but it’s so much more. Leia makes it totally unique and completely her own. I don’t know how she comes up with all of these kickass books, but keep em coming!

You would think a novel, with a large amount of people rating it five stars, wouldn't be so god-awfully bad, but it is. It's so bad that calling it mediocre is such an overstatement, so much so that it's suspicious how many readers supposedly like this book enough to give it a soaring rating. While I didn't mind the premise including the special, you're-the-one-from-the-prohpecy protagonist, I did mind the corny writing, the horrible pacing, and the lack of character depth (don't get me started

This one was really different from other angel books I've read.The concept was really cool and I just fell in love with the story and its characters.Angels and Demons two of my favorite reading topics. Now on to the next book!

I really liked the main character at the beginning because she seemed like a total badass that didn’t take shit, but slowly throughout the book she started to become so whiney and annoying. She was always worrying about Lincoln and their relationship seemed so rushed to me. I wish their were more interactions between them that weren’t them fighting with each other. I also wish their were more substance to the side characters, like her friends. During the Gauntlet I was so intrigued that I couldn...

4.0 -4.5!? I can't decide! It's good!This is the first time I'm reading a book that is solely Leia Stone (rather than a collaboration) and it did not disappoint. Essentially, mutant humans caught up in a war between angels and demons in a post-fallen world? Oh yeah, I'm going to read that every time.The novel had all the classical hooks of the o.g. paranormal books: Super special heroine with badass powers and spitfire side kick? check!Super elite school to train and fight the baddies? double ch...

I was up until 1am devouring Leia Stone's new paranormal urban fantasy, Fallen Academy: Year One!It. Is. The. Tits.There are books that you really enjoy, and then there are books you rave about. This was a 'rave about' story.Year One is for you if you like an enemies to lovers romance, a sassy woman with heart (and a switchblade), a tight friendship, donuts, and a high-stakes world that includes warring angels and demons, and humans who accidentally inherited angelic/demonic powers.

Very competent series.

My first new book of the year and I really enjoyed it. I would write more, but I have to start book 2 now....no time to waste.

Such a fantastic and well written Angel vs Demon YA story. The characters are wonderful and you’ll quickly love all of them (excluding one at least). You can’t help but love and cheer for Brielle on her Year One journey at the Fallen Academy, and hope that she makes the target to get through the Gauntlet. I did loved the twist as to what the Gauntlet actually involved. Can’t wait for what adventures are planned in Year Two... If you haven’t take it, go take Leia Stone’s Fallen Academy quiz so yo...

InconsistentThe one word that comes to mind for this book is inconsistent. I liked the first 35%-40%, and then it went downhill. It felt like the author was engaged in the story early in and didn't really care anymore as the book progressed.**SPOILERS**So Bri is actually fun and kinda cool at the beginning of the book. She finds out about her unique powers, finds a cute guy but doesn't let her lust control her, and actually kicks butt. After this, however, she becomes a whiney tween obsessing ov...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLFuck no....I rather be hanged than to be reading this bullshit.It is just all garbage, good old stinking pile of garbage put on a piece of paper.

SuperbA truly wonderful book, excellently written with a lot of details and unexpected events. It moves along very quickly, keeping me completely engrossed in the story. I would definitely recommend it to others. I’m off to start book two.

I liked it. I mean the YA romance, boy hates girl, girl thinks boy is a hot asshole, girl likes boy, boy figures girl's too hot and "different" not to like, has gotten old. Honestly, it just makes me nauseous now but overall it was fun to read.It required no brain power and annoying-stupid-kids who think they're invincible is just what the doctor ordered.
