Title: Stone and Secret (Nocturne Academy #3)
Author: Evangeline Anderson
Genre: Fantasy YA
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stone and Secret is my first Nocturne Academy novel, and I am ashamed I’ve not read the series already!

Emma Plunkett is the white bread of young ladies. She’s the average of unforgettable, you just saw her, and you don’t remember it. She’s trying her best to survive the meanest of Nocturne Academy because even white bread has to deal with mold. Emma’s mold? That would be Morganna Starchild, beast of a Fae, mean girl gone wild.  

Emma thinks she’s pulled the short straw when lined up to be lab partners with one of the most unfortunate looking students in school, Bran O’Connor. It seems like one more thing for which Morganna to snipe at her, but she quickly finds herself seeing more in Bran than what is on the surface. This is good because soon, she finds herself needing some help getting out of a sitch that is skin deep. 

Emma, Bran, and his friend Lachlan now have to maneuver through Nocturne Academy’s social scene under new rules, which upset the kettle and leave them all in the stew. A tasty place for these three babes because things are about to go straight from the pan into the fire. Why I’m using a cooking metaphor here, I don’t know. 

Stone and Secret was a fan-freaking-tastic book!

I loved Emma, Bran, and Lachlan, and I really wish there was romance! However, there is nothing about this book that I felt was wrong or that I would change. I am dying for Avery’s book! OMG, already!

There are some typos, but try to look past them. 

Recommend Highly. As a matter of fact, don’t be me. Start at the beginning.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.
