Freaking obsessed I’m so obsessed with this story。 I read it in 1 sitting。 I love everything about Violet。 I’m still trying to figure out who is going to be in the harem。 This book had me captivated from the first page and didn’t let me go。

HilariousI'm really not much a fan of who doneits but I quite enjoyed reading this book。 Violent is hilarious in such an innocently superior way， her dad is amazingly proud of her， wish he'd featured more。 I laughed out loud about the toe。 Recommend。 HilariousI'm really not much a fan of who doneits but I quite enjoyed reading this book。 Violent is hilarious in such an innocently superior way， her dad is amazingly proud of her， wish he'd featured more。 I laughed out loud about the toe。 Recommend。 。。。more

😻So violet seems a bit emotionally and socially stunted。 Minus being accused of murder。 I hope she learns a bit。

Absolutely amazing If you like Wednesday Addams and always wanted to know what she would be like with powers then this is the book for you。 I loved it from start to finish。 The characters are interesting， the plot keeps you guessing and coming back for more， but the mystery is what’ll hook you。 Play detective with violet and get a first row seat to her discovering feelings and making her first friend。

Wednesday’s vibe RH version I personally loved the Wednesday vibe in this book。 I had a hard time putting it down。 Violet’s character seem to have a form of asperger， similar to Sheldon （Big Bang Theory）， making several situations funny， as she is unable to grasp what people mean， even though she is very smart。 Can’t wait to see what happens next。

Thornwood Academy Book one of this new spinoff series from LJ Swallow is wonderful。 I read the whole story in one sitting。 I can’t wait for the next book in the series， hopefully it will be even longer。

Good first bookI enjoyed this， it was nice to see a continuation of previous books from this world。 I like the character especially the Wednesday vibes I'm getting from her。 I loved the subtle humour that was placed in this book。 I can't wait to read book 2 Good first bookI enjoyed this， it was nice to see a continuation of previous books from this world。 I like the character especially the Wednesday vibes I'm getting from her。 I loved the subtle humour that was placed in this book。 I can't wait to read book 2 。。。more

Ja net geen 4。 Deze vond ik eigenlijk wel leuk。 Een van de betere die ik dit jaar tot nu toe heb gelezen。 Ze was wel gebaseerd/geïnspireerd op Wednesday？ Loved it haha。 Is het reversed harem？ Ben wel benieuwd naar het gevolg

I like that we get to meet Violet。 Dorian Blackwoods daughter in this book。 She is a strange girl with lots of power。 Her parents send her to Thornwood to get better control and to socialize。 This is the last thing she wants and is determined to leave。 With murders happening and the finger pointing at her she now must figure out who is framing her。 Couldn't put down。 I like that we get to meet Violet。 Dorian Blackwoods daughter in this book。 She is a strange girl with lots of power。 Her parents send her to Thornwood to get better control and to socialize。 This is the last thing she wants and is determined to leave。 With murders happening and the finger pointing at her she now must figure out who is framing her。 Couldn't put down。 。。。more

I love love love Violet！！！！ She’s so blunt and has no social skills whatsoever。 She’s hilarious in a cute and innocent and deadly way。 I also love Grayson， Rowan， and Leif for her。 Violet better brace herself because she’s in for a treat with these guys and all the emotions they’re going to awaken in her。 I loved seeing Dorian and Eloise， too！！ I hope we get to see more of them and Zeke and Ethan， too！ I loved this book！ I’m excited for the next one！ I highly recommend this book！

I enjoyed nightworld， but thornwood might have just out done it。 Gripped from the begining with violet who is a great FMC to follow。 L j swallow really knows how to write a great addictive story。 Look forward to reading more。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Not again not another school especially one for sups and for Violet being sent to Thornwood Academy is annoying for many reasons one being she’s a hybrid daughter to a powerful witch and vampire and was raised on an island separate from all this interacting with people and she’d do anything to get back to it to leave the academy behind only problem being someone is killing students and leaving a trail right to her and out of all things Violet doesn’t want is anyone saying she’s a killer granted Not again not another school especially one for sups and for Violet being sent to Thornwood Academy is annoying for many reasons one being she’s a hybrid daughter to a powerful witch and vampire and was raised on an island separate from all this interacting with people and she’d do anything to get back to it to leave the academy behind only problem being someone is killing students and leaving a trail right to her and out of all things Violet doesn’t want is anyone saying she’s a killer granted she doesn’t want to be around people and wants to leave but more importantly she wants to solve the murders to discover who is setting her up and yes probably punish them。。 for Violet that’s the most important thing not making friends unfortunately we don’t always get what we want sometimes we get what we need and that for Violet it seems making bonds is something she never bargained for 。。。more

Lisa's new series is about Dorian and Eloise Blackwood's hybrid daughter Violet （formerly Mia until she changed it as a toddler！）。 Violet has finally pushed her parents too far when she reanimated some mice in biology class。 Though I find this hilarious， her parents apparently did not。 They immediately cart her off Thornwood Academy （formerly one of the Nightworld Academy sites） and then daddy dearest fixes it so her rune magic won't let her leave。 Ashhat。 Violet has no intention of gettng comfo Lisa's new series is about Dorian and Eloise Blackwood's hybrid daughter Violet （formerly Mia until she changed it as a toddler！）。 Violet has finally pushed her parents too far when she reanimated some mice in biology class。 Though I find this hilarious， her parents apparently did not。 They immediately cart her off Thornwood Academy （formerly one of the Nightworld Academy sites） and then daddy dearest fixes it so her rune magic won't let her leave。 Ashhat。 Violet has no intention of gettng comfortable here。 Surely， she can manage to get herself kicked out with no problem。 Unfortunately， it is not quite as easy as she had hoped。 Her bubbly， popular roommate， Holly， is bad enough but the human headmaster's son Wesley is a real piece of work。 Then there are the uniforms。 Ugh。 What is wrong with her all black attire？Violet has spent her whole life avoiding entanglements。 Her Vampire side is kept under control with medication， but her father's psychotic temper is a problem if her emotions start to ooze out。 Avoiding touch helps， but some of the other students do not get the memo。 Her sarcasm and total lack of empathy turn most people off， yay， but Holly isn't quite so easily dissuaded。 Then there are vampire Grayson Petrescu （you might recognize that last name）， Rowan Willowbrook who is a strong witch， and Leif who is a half shifter and as anxious as Violet to get out of Thornwood。 All of these beings are going to play a part in Violet's saga because events start occurring that are meant to put her in a bad light。 When a human is murdered and it is made to look like she did it， she knows she can't leave Thornwood until she figures out who is really to blame。 Of course， we are left in suspense since this is just the first book。 Stay tuned。 I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author。 My review is voluntary。 。。。more
