Academy of Shifters: Werewolves 101 (Veiled World) Kindle Edition
I expected to start normal college, but instead… I wound up sprouting fur.
The one thing about growing up an orphan was that life sucked, but at least it was my kind of sucky. It was simple, ordinary… predictable.
Until the night I woke up naked in a dark forest, surrounded by a trio of powerful shifters who plucked me from my miserable existence to tell me I’m some sort of supernatural monster.
Now I’m taking a crash course in Werewolf 101 at some freaky, secret academy. Not to mention I can’t get my mind off an infuriating, yet gorgeous (and off-limits) lion shifter who loves yoga and calling me “poodle”.
If I can’t get my shift together in this world of underground societies and scandal, I’m going to be up a creek without a doggy-paddle. Especially when a rare ability emerges within me. The last shifter who had this so-called gift wound up dead, and if anyone finds out I possess it, so will I.
Now wolfy and I must step up our game and quit tripping over our own tail.
Life is never going to be normal again.

- “Listen, sweetie, I just want to warn you. The atmosphere at Gladwell is competitive, to say the least. Most freshmen can’t hold a shift longer than an hour or two, so your condition may cause a ruckus. But there’s no way for us to force an un-shift, so you’ll just have to grin and bear it until it wears off on its own. In the meantime, be prepared to deal with some jealousy.”Highlighted by 43 Kindle readers

- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseRemi has always been different. That is why she bounced around to so many foster homes. No one wanted her. But now she is starting college and has her life ahead of her. On the first day she is drawn into the woods, shifter into a wolf and is taken by two wolf shifters and a bear shifter to an academy for shifters. She is teased and heckled for days by a certain crown but has made several friends. But one of her new friends has a boyfriend that Remi is very attracted to. Every time they touch she feels tingles all over. But she can’t act on her feelings. And she went from being the first student to hold her shift for a long time to all of a sudden she can’t shift and might be thrown out. Then she and Laith, the hot lion shifter she likes discover something terrifying. Certain students are on a list and the meaning of the list is not good. These students could be in danger.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAnd just like that I found a new author to follow and a new series to obsess over. If you're a fan of Leia Stone, or Melissa Haag you'll enjoy this author. I was pulled into the storyline effortlessly and I finished this book over the course of a day filled with work and family and my two young ones so 'hard to put down' doesn't begin to describe it. Remi St. James is a young woman about to enter her freshman year of college. She's alone in this world and very realistic to a fault. She finds out she's a wolf shifter and is whisked off to a college that guides young adults through the shifting process and the new world they're a part of. Read this book it's not just a cliche overused plot. You will enjoy this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEasy to read book as the story flows nicely but the characters are pretty wimpy. Perhaps there will be a lot of growth in the characters in the later books. Nothing new in the world building and the magic is fairly standard fare. A number of annoying nerdy characters which I think were meant to be funny but were mostly annoying.
Would be a good book to read to the grandkids at bedtime. I doubt I would buy more books in this series but if you are a younger reader or want something to read to kids this one is probably ok.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is definitely a different storyline than most shifter academy books, it has kept me intrigued throughout and wanting to figure out the mystery. Can't wait to see what the next installment reveals!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseOhh Remi! I still have ALL the questions about you, but darned if your first semester at the academy hasn’t been “interesting”…I can’t wait to learn more about what’s going on, I also cannot imagine finding out you are a shifter and then being thrust into a world you have no idea about and attempting to figure out how to navigate it all…
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseImagine starting college, meet your off the wall roommate and then end up in the woods talking to 2 wolves and a bear. Yeah, that would be something. Remi's world was just turned upside down. She learns she is a wolf shifter, she gets shipped to an academy just for shifters, meets a hot and smoking mountain lion shifter and oh yeah, one of her professors locked away her wolf and tried to kill her. This book was awesome and can not wait to read the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA much more solid read then I expected with some solid chilling undertones. I cant say the twists were surprising per say but they were still done well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Academy of shifters
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEngaging writing style and story. Enjoyed getting to know the characters but hope to get some detail on friends and pack mates to flesh them out a bit more.

@lendo_com_tcheisReviewed in Brazil on September 13, 2022
4.0 out of 5 stars Série de 7 livros
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAinda não terminei a série mas já li os 4 primeiros. A série é estilo infanto juvenil então tem romance mas não tem cenas hot, o que é incomum para livros de shifters.
A história tem mistérios e até agora todos terminam com o cliffhanger para o próximo. São bem escritos, envolventes e rápidos.
Recomendo!
