Magic Within: A Young Adult Urban Fantasy Academy Novel (Bloodline Academy Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Ahava Trivedi (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 148 ratings
**COMPLETED SERIES**

Light Magic, dark blood, never the two shall mix…

I’m an abomination. I shouldn’t even exist.

I’m Katrina Quartz, a Crystal Witch, who’s supposed to possess powers that bring light to the world. At least I thought I was until about two minutes ago when I found out that lo and behold, I’m also a vampire.

However, my magic has barely started to reveal itself, when the High Priestesses in my coven, decide to hand me over to the werewolf who turns up to escort me to Bloodline Academy, a notorious school for vampires and werewolves. Suddenly, I'm surrounded by vamps, most of whom are instant enemies. Even the ones that want to be friends have a hankering…for my blood.

There’s also the rather annoying problem that I’m beginning to fall for the same arrogant, brooding, ridiculously handsome werewolf who basically kidnapped me and brought me to Bloodline Academy. And of course, he sees me as nothing more than an obligation. Or does he?

As I avoid all that could so easily be my downfall, my bestie from my former coven swings in to help me strengthen my magic so I can protect myself from my classmates. However, our magic leads to a threat that could spell the ruin of all other supernatural beings and mortals. Beginning with Crystal Witches.

Just as my own vampire bloodline starts to come alive, I’m forced to pick a fight with some seriously dark vamps.

Whether I like it or not, I’m about to find out what it takes to survive in a world where both sides want me dead.

Magic Within is the first book in Bloodline Academy, a brand-new, dark and exciting urban fantasy series with a strong heroine who battles darkness inside and out, some powerful but cliquey witches, savage (and gorgeous) vampires with big tickets on themselves, and a bad boy werewolf with a good heart.

Magic Within is a Young Adult Urban Fantasy novel for readers of all ages. Perfect for fans of Vampire Academy, Twilight and Hex Hall. It also has Crystal Witches with magic powers which make it perfect for fans of Harry Potter. It's NOT a Reverse Harem and the romance level is flirty.

“Magic Within is a brilliant example of this genre and with excellent writing and an exciting plot, this is urban teenage fantasy entertainment that DOES stand out.” – The Reading Desk ★★★★★

“Magic Within is the first instalment of the Bloodline Academy series. It’s also my first introduction to the author and boy was I in for a special treat. The book was compelling, fast-paced with lots of mystery, twists and suspense which made it a truly engaging read and hard to put down.” – Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★

“If you enjoyed the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, or you are attracted to tales of loners finding their own voice, I think you will enjoy Magic Within.” – Samantha Henthorn ★★★★★

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced, easy reading book
    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020
    First of all let me tell you why I chose 3 stars.

    When I read whatever genre of a book or ARC (in this case ARC) I look for a certain things for my likings. Those are: danger, love, bad boys, excitement, mysterious etc.

    This book had it kind of all...I’m looking for a book packed with love and endangerment so that it keeps me on my toes.

    Reading this one I found it some of it more towards the end, which I don’t mind as long as there is some of it 😊

    One of the things I really like about this book was the style of writing...since my first language is not English, this was a fast paced book with a good “wording” that made it easy to understand 😊

    Now about the main character:
    I really liked Katrina, the way she is towards her friends and family...how loyal she is. I liked that she didn’t give up, but stand up to whatever was/is heading for her.

    Storyline:
    Katrina Snow Quartz was found as a baby and taken in by a Crystal Witches and raised by them. On her 18th Birthday something unexpected happen and she had to go to Bloodline Academy (a school for vampires and werewolves). Her beginnings were not easy, since she is a “one of a kind” witchpire (witch and a vampire), but she made some friends (Natalie and Ulric). And as it goes in a school also enemies (Lilith and her “gang”) who wanted to make her life miserable.
    Since Kat left the Crystal Witches she was in contact with Safi (her best friend from CW), but it was dangerous since Vampires and Witches are not friends at all.

    I’m not gonna write more since I want this review to be for also someone who didn’t read it.

    Overall I can’t wait to read the 2nd book, because the ending left me wanting more and now! 😁

    4.0 out of 5 stars An Easy Yet Intriguing Read!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020
    Okay, okay...hmm where to start. I'm actually a little lost with the full scale of my feels with this one. Like I enjoyed it and definitely found aspects of it intriguing and wanted to read on to find out more. Hmmm...The best way for me to describe it, it's what maybe I'd more class as an easy read. I feel, maybe this book is more setting the stage for the next one, and the story development should grow a lot more. I can see a lot of potential for it, for sure though.

    I don't know why I struggled to get my head into this book...but I got easily distracted with it and I really can't work out why (I have been a lot sicker so maybe my brain power was low?). I think maybe it could've also been to do with that, for me, it didn't seem to have a lot happening (or to the point I needed with my brain really tired...I tend to find I need something more intense to click my brain into gear when it's like this - so do please keep this in mind).... Having said that, looking at it from a readers view, I did personally feel that the beginning of the story felt like it took a little while before I felt any serious growth. But hey stories need growth time and an information download section, for world setup.

    Don't get me wrong guys, I think a lot of you could really enjoy this. So don't let this dissuade you from reading this book. I actually really did love the uniqueness of some of its concepts - like a witch and vampire hybrid...Never read anything like that before...So that was fun and interesting. I can't wait to see how that part of the story spins itself.

    I also loved the characters and growth that Katrina made. As you probably have worked out by now character development for me is really important in a book. I feel like towards the end she's a lot more accepting of both her sides and the potential she has being what she is.

    So it starts off on Katrina's birthday and a witch reading, that shows that she's not just a Crystal Witch, a witch of light, but is also half Vampire. She holds both light and darkness insider her and to the Coven this is not acceptable. As the Crystal Witches and Dark-blooded ones, such as Vampires and Werewolves, are basically enemies of each other....you can see how this may have been taken. Not well at all lol.

    Katrina was basically shunned from her coven immediately, only one of her friends Safi, stuck by her and didn't get all weird about it...but being half vampire, which is considered darkness to these witches...she is whisked away to St. Erzsebet Academy. It was a place run by and for Vampires either born or made. It also schooled other dark-bloods like the shifters but they were pretty much considered beneath the Vampires. Here the Vampires ruled...And yet unlike her Coven who turned their back instantly, they took her in, ready to develop the source of her powers.

    As Katrina tries to take on board who she truly is...she learns that she has more power than she ever could have believed...But when you have been brought up taught to despise the one thing she now is, she struggles to embrace that side of her.

    With time she slowly begins to accept this side but it's a work in progress. It definitely helps when the friends you make, are as kind and caring as her room-mate, Natalie. They click immediately and it helps Katrina see that not all Vampires are bad. Some are just trying to learn to control their urges.

    But we can't have an Academy without the residential mean girl and her posse. And oh how snobby they are and determined to bring her down.

    You see, even the Vamps have a hierarchy so to speak. There are two types of Vampires the Sanguine (pure-blooded born) and Novus (turned). The Sanguine look down on Novus Vamps but now that Katrina has come in, the first of her kind, it definitely stirs up a lot, they see her as less...Which sorta puts her in a position of receiving a lot of unwanted attention. As things proceed though, they realise just how powerful she could be and that seriously does not sit well with many.

    Join a world where good and bad isn't as simple as one originally thought. Darkness and light can dwell together and it can be damn powerful.

    I look forward to seeing where this journey will lead...and can't wait to see more of Ulric lol. Bring on that romance haha. Great work.

    Happy Readings.

    Honestly, the book hooked me at the beginning but as it progressed the glaring grammatical errors made it hard to read. Also, the characters' reaction to situations seemed planned for a future plot point/twist rather than a "natural" reaction.

    Katrina is a Crystal Witch who has been a member of the coven of the Circle or Quartz since she was adopted by its two High Priestesses, Lorna and Babette, when she was orphaned. Having turned 17, she must participate in a personalised reading that will ascertain whether she will continue to train at her coven or elsewhere. Katrina secretly hopes to attend the prestigious Superno Academy which would open doors for her in the supernatural world, particularly the Supernatural Light Alliance (SLA)

    Katrina’s whole world comes crashing down when a voice interrupts her reading with the following announcement:

    “Katrina Snow Quartz will be leaving the coven for good. Today, when the sun sets, she will be taken to St Erzsebets’s Academy. There, she will finally gain her rightful place with the powers bestowed upon her - by the pure vampire bloodline she carries within!”

    Katrina feels hurt and betrayed when Lorna and Babette pack her off to St Erzsebet’s Academy aka Bloodline Academy without protest. Only her best friend Safi, promises to keep in touch through a crystal she has spelled. Katrina is escorted to the Academy by a werewolf named Ulrich.

    Upon arrival, Katrina falls foul of Lilith and her group but finds a friend in Natalie, a Novus (turned vampire) as well as Valenthia, a Sanguine (pureblood) who helps her develop her powers. Despite her blood being like candy to vampires, Katrina begins to find her place at the Academy as she feels that the vampires stood by her and took her in when her own coven and the SLA shunned her.

    Katrina soon comes to realise that there is trouble brewing between the vampiric Dark Legion and the SLA. With Ulrich’s help, Katrina secretly meets with Safi in a cemetery outside the grounds of the Academy. Unfortunately the magic Safi uses to shield herself leads to the vampires discovering the significance of crystal magic in their fight against the SLA. When Katrina’s crystal is stolen by Lilith, it sets in motion a tragic chain of events that puts not only the lives of her Coven in danger, but that of her newfound friends...

    Magic Within is the first instalment of the Bloodline Academy series. It’s also my first introduction to the author and boy was I in for a special treat. The book was compelling, fast paced with lots of mystery, twists and suspense which made it a truly engaging read and hard to put down.

    From the offset, I found myself totally immersed in the premise of the story. A world in which the coexistence between supernaturals and humans is marred by prejudice and suspicion. We have Crystal witches with their faery blood who generally practice white magic. This leaves them vulnerable to attacks from the rest of the supernatural community. I thought it was interesting how upon initiation, a witch received a silver ‘blooming’ upon her predominant arm, a tattoo of sorts that lights up and allows one to gauge not only the mood of a witch but how powerful the magic she was summoning was.

    On the other side we have vampires and other dark blooded shifters such as werewolves who are their subservients. Maintaining the balance is the Supernatural Light Alliance who monitor and protect humans and other supernaturals from the Bloodline Academy. Sanguine (pureblood) vampires consider themselves superior to Novus (turned) vampires and as mentioned the werewolves are considered as second class citizens.

    Along with the exceptional world building, I was equally impressed with the three dimensional character development. Katrina is a telepath who can send and receive messages and is also able to read minds although not without consent. Unfortunately her powers as a Crystal Witch have barely come in to fruition before she has to leave her coven. Interestingly little is known about her background, only that she was born in central Europe, came over to Canada and stayed with a human family before being adopted by Lorna and Babette. No one knows who her parents were, only the date she was born and her first name. Katrina’s development from someone who lacks confidence and is unsure of her place in the world to a stronger more self assured individual who is determined to hang on to her light and resist her dark nature was a revelation to read.

    The secondary characters were equally appealing. Ulrich, Safi and Natalie in particular made a lasting impression. Most intriguing was Professor Nadasdy who is somewhat of an enigma although I suspect his mystery trip to Europe may possibly had a lot to do with Katrina. 🤔

    All in all, this was a well executed, fast paced and compelling introduction to what looks to be an exciting series. My only small criticism were the grammatical errors that seemed to occur rather frequently. This is no way ruined my enjoyment, however, and I’m sure a good editor will clear these up in no time.

    Highly recommended to fans of Academy books, dark urban fantasy, witches, vampires, werewolves, fae, mysteries and secret societies.
