Summary

Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson.

On their 18th birthday, everyone in the world receives a Shadowbox - a magic box that is a gift like no other...because, it’s a gift from the gods. For the majority of people, there’s only a birthday message inside their Shadowbox. For a few chosen, though, there’s something more. Nobody knows what those special guys receive. What’s known is that they disappear and never come back.

Rumors say they are invited to join the gods’ army. I think it’s just a load of crap.

My name is Melany Richmond, and for my entire life, I’ve been an outcast - an orphan tossed around like a ship in a storm. I don’t think that gods really exist. I never even received my Shadowbox when I turned 18. Maybe, because nobody knows my true birth date or because not even the gods care about me. After all, I'm a blue-haired rebel and a troublemaker with tattoos all over my arms.

I’m not like Callie Demos, the beautiful blondie living in the huge estate my adopted mother takes care of. She is the perfect specimen of Greek devotion, and nobody doubts she will get “the call”. She has everything in her life and doesn’t appreciate any of it. Her birthday party is the biggest event in town, and everyone wants to be there when she receives her blessing. To me, it’s just another ridiculous parade. But when I secretly open her Shadowbox and feel its magic on my skin, all my beliefs vanish.

Gods do exist. And if the scroll in my hands says the truth, they have a secret academy where their recruits train to become demigods. I’ve done really bad things in my life but stealing Callie’s opportunity to attend the god’s academy? It’s got to be the worst. If gods find out I’m a faker, what was supposed to be someone else’s gift may turn into my personal curse.

This is a young adult urban fantasy for listeners featuring magic, adventures, and friendship.

Brilliant first part of Demigods Academy

When I saw there were 2 narrators I thought they'd both narrate at the same time and do the girls and boys voices. However it was narrated different chapters depending on if it was Melanie's or Lucien's point of view.
That said I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narration was really good and the story flowed well.
Melanie believes she's tricked her way into the Demigods Academy by taking her friends place. She's been looked down on her whole life as she comes from a Foster family. She has always thought she was destined for greater things so she goes to the Demigods Academy on what she believes is her friends ticket. There she will have to learn new skills and pass a series of trials to get into one of the gods clans. If you love Greek mythology you'll love this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I received a free copy from the author but this review is my own opinion. Definitely worth a listen.

More, More!

It's just as well there's a book 2 in the pipeline so that I can see how Melanie and Lucian get along now that they are through the trials, I wonder about the connection to her new house...

Loved the narrator and pace of the story.

The description of the magic types was really authentic sans nerd.

Brilliant

I loved the unique selection process for the school that everyone wants to go to. The main character is Melany who doesn't take herself too seriously and fights fiercely for her friends. She is quite laid back about her love interest which makes a nice change. I found this book to be so spellbinding that I could not stop listening 😀. The narrators are well suited to the characters and bring them to life. I cannot wait to see what happens next to Melany and her friends.
