Summary
So…Verika’s parents run a Voodoo Academy。 When， exactly， were they planning on telling her？ Apparently not until she almost kills half her school。
When Verika’s shadow magic nearly takes out the cast of her school play， her parents send her to a voodoo academy they run in New Orlean’s mirror world to get her powers under control。
It’s there， at Académie de Marie Laveau， that Verika learns the hot man from her dreams isn’t just a figment of her imagination…but the most feared student ever to walk the academy’s halls。
So when things start to go missing from her teachers’ classrooms， and it appears someone is aiming to pin it on Mr。 Dark and Dreamy himself， Verika knows no one is going to step in to save him。
No one but Verika， anyway。
Except， Tobias isn’t looking for a hero， and Verika’s not cut out to be a detective。 Considering she’s been shadow walking in her sleep and can’t account for her own whereabouts after the lights go out， it seems she’s better suited as a suspect instead。
Fans of the Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead and the Harley Merlin series from Bella Forrest will love this new adult， slow-burn paranormal academy romance from Veronica Shade。
Scroll up and one-click to see if Verika can find a way to make life at Voodoo Academy work…all while dealing with bullies， would-be boyfriends， and worse…herself。
Voodoo Academy is a spin-off series of Academy of the Damned but can still be enjoyed by readers who haven’t read Academy of the Damned。

This book was a wonderful start to this new series。 The FMC， Verika， lives in New Orleans。。。 raised around voodoo but always believing it to be fake。。。 something to use for the amusement of tourists。 But then she finally manifests real powers。。 and finds herself thrown into a whole new realm of possibilities。 Will Verika learn to embrace her new power。。 will she find her place in her new life。。 and possibly find love as well？

Verika has just reached the age where her powers have appeared - quite dangerously。 She finds out that her parents not only run a Voodoo shop in New Orleans， but they also run a supernatural school in the Mirror Realm called the Académie de Marie Laveau。 This is the school she must now attend and get her powers under control。 Her "dream man" is real and is also attending the school， but he is considered dangerous。 This， of course， did not deter her from trying to help him when he is falsely accu Verika has just reached the age where her powers have appeared - quite dangerously。 She finds out that her parents not only run a Voodoo shop in New Orleans， but they also run a supernatural school in the Mirror Realm called the Académie de Marie Laveau。 This is the school she must now attend and get her powers under control。 Her "dream man" is real and is also attending the school， but he is considered dangerous。 This， of course， did not deter her from trying to help him when he is falsely accused of stealing things in the school。 。。。more

I couldn't put this book down。 Although I found Verika's "poor me" attitude to be kind of annoying， I admit it must suc* to find out your parents have kept you in the dark about who you really are for your entire life。 Of course， Verika is good at ignoring things she doesn't want to see。 It isn't until she almost kills her best friend that she is finally willing to admit that something is wrong with her。Apparently， the voodoo shop Verika's parents run in New Orleans is not quite as fake as she t I couldn't put this book down。 Although I found Verika's "poor me" attitude to be kind of annoying， I admit it must suc* to find out your parents have kept you in the dark about who you really are for your entire life。 Of course， Verika is good at ignoring things she doesn't want to see。 It isn't until she almost kills her best friend that she is finally willing to admit that something is wrong with her。Apparently， the voodoo shop Verika's parents run in New Orleans is not quite as fake as she thought it was。 Or at least the voodoo part is real。 And the dreams she has been having about the hot， dark man at a club？ Those were actually her doing something called "shadowwalking。" Now she finds out she is a shadow witch and she must go to what she terms as Voodoo Academy to learn how to control her powers。 This school is located in shadow New Orleans which is at least less hot and humid than the real one。 To make things even worse， her shadow witch mother is the headmistress and her necromancer father is an instructor。 Ugh。 Could it get any worse？ Yep。 One of her two roommates is a real nasty piece of work and the man she saw in her dreams is there， but he insists he doesn't know her。 Then she gets chosen by her loa， don't even ask。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

There are a lot of secrets in this book and the secret Verika’s parents keep from her is the biggest one。 This was an exciting story with a great plot。 There is a lot of action and even a school bully。 I really enjoyed reading this book and could not put it down。 I would recommend this book to all。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

I received a copy of this book through BookSprout， but this review is all my own！ I don't usually choose to read YA/NA book， let alone academy ones， but I liked the idea of this new Voodoo Academy series and thought I would give it a shot。 I really enjoyed it and found myself completely engrossed in what was going on！ When Verika Dupre suddenly manifests shadow magic on her 18th birthday and is summoned to the Académie de Marie Leveau， where unbeknown to her， her parents are in charge， everythin I received a copy of this book through BookSprout， but this review is all my own！ I don't usually choose to read YA/NA book， let alone academy ones， but I liked the idea of this new Voodoo Academy series and thought I would give it a shot。 I really enjoyed it and found myself completely engrossed in what was going on！ When Verika Dupre suddenly manifests shadow magic on her 18th birthday and is summoned to the Académie de Marie Leveau， where unbeknown to her， her parents are in charge， everything she ever thought she knew about her family and their lives changes！ Here she finds herself severely， yet unsurprisingly， lacking in magical knowledge and skills and despite being the daughter of two powerful practitioners， she cannot seem to get a grip on what she is supposed to be doing。 I loved that Verika wasn't the perfect student， that despite her heritage and the prophecy surrounding her， she was at times completely inept in her magical skills。 I was expecting her to be brilliant from the get-go， to be able to handle everything perfectly and I'm so glad that she wasn't like that。 She struggled both in her magical development and with her transition into this new world - she showed great character development and felt more relatable as well because of this。 Her friends were a great support for her and even the Queen Bee bully stepped up at the end， which really surprised me！ The slow burn romance is a very slow burn as not a great deal happened between the love interests really， but I guess that's why it's called slow burn！ Hopefully there will be a bit more in the next book， which I can't wait to read now after that cliffhanger ending！ 。。。more
