Oberon Academy Book One

The Orphan

By: Wendi L. Wilson

Narrated by: Heather Costa

Sometimes the ones who save us are the ones we need to fear the most.

In a world where dark faeries have stepped in to save the planet from humanity's mistakes, 17-year-old December Thorne is nothing but a shadow. Shunned by her peers, bullied at school, and paid a little too much attention by her sleazy foster father, she lives in constant fear and perpetual solitude.

Until the day everything changes.

Offered a scholarship to the prestigious Oberon Academy, December finds herself living in a whole new world. Boundless food, clean clothes, a safe place to sleep, and the potential for true friendship make her new life seem almost too good to be true - but the school has a secret.

The truth is, Oberon Academy isn't just a prep school for society's elite. It's a training ground for a secret race of magical beings no one knows exists. And they're preparing for war.

Filled with fear and denial, December has a choice to make. She can either return to her pathetic life with her dangerous foster parents, try to survive on her own, or make Oberon Academy her home and discover the truth about who, and what, she really is.

And that truth could save the world.

AWESOME YA Fantasy!!

This book was FABULOUS!!! Such an original and engaging story!! I love Faeries and different takes on them, and this was definitely a unique one!! I loved the MC, December Thorne, and found I was feeling her emotions along with her. Easton is so swoon-worthy and I love how he is with December. Such an AWESOME story and I need to dive right into book two!!

The narrator was excellent!! She brought a great story to life!!!

it's a good start to a series

I liked the characters, the story and the narrator is great. I can't wait to start book 2. Only one pov unfortunately.

Sadly this wasn't the book for me.

I really wanted to enjoy this. I always love rooting for the under dog, and the fact that December Thorne was female would make it all the better. However this sadly wasn't the book I wanted. Wendi almost had me when December finally made it to the academy. But nope it wasn't to be. It could have been all the times she fainted, or maybe she cried way too often, or some of really egregiously stupid decisions she made... I don't know for sure, but didn't like it!
However Heather Costa was great.
