Ghosting Academy

 It’s been years since Amelie abandoned her home to become an elite agent of the Academy.

In its embrace she has found support and stability, but in return the Academy uses her gifts for destruction and control. For ten years, she has chosen to live only for the moment, neither questioning nor considering the motives of her employer. But when Amelie and her pod of fellow agents, “graduate” into becoming strategic operatives, they are spirited off to an isolated island. Here they uncover a labyrinth of deception and lies far more sinister than any they ever imagined, including Verite, a new virtual reality game, in which time has no meaning and your blood holds the keys to your soul. In the Ghosting Academy, consciousness is currency, morality is shackles and there is no death.

my review...

This book, Ghosting Academy has a little bit of everything, rather a mixing of genres. This is definitely paranormal. A mix of ghosts and magic are blended in with a fantasy when you read about the academy and it pods. It’s also a suspenseful read and in my mind it definitely has its moments of horror. Was it a little too dark for me? I’m not totally sure. I read every bit of it, and couldn’t help but begin to love some of the characters. It was an interesting read.

This is the first book by LS Delorme that I have read. Ghosting Academy is Book 4 in a series titled “The Limerent Series”. Although I enjoyed it, I do think I would have benefited by reading the previous three books prior to this one.  

read an excerpt

“You should take Amelie’s statement very seriously,” James said to the girl, winking. “If you make it to training, she will be your big sister. She has a hundred percent clearance rate on all the candidates she puts forward … any idea why?”

The girl shook her head, now leaning onto the table to put her breasts on display.

“As her podmate, I can tell you that Amelie has a hundred percent clearance rate because only about twenty-five percent of her trainees make it past her.”

The girl’s snake eyes were back on Amelie, slithering over her face.

“What does that mean?” she asked.

“It means she kills seventy-five percent of her candidates,” James said, smiling and raising his eyebrows.”

“James is prone to exaggeration,” Amelie replied, hand still on the gun.

“Okay, okay, thirty percent make it through,” James said, coming and putting a hand on Amelie’s shoulder. He had clocked her hand on the gun under the table.

“The actual number is thirty-four percent,” Amelie responded lightly.

“And right now, she’s got her hand on a gun that is strapped to the underside of this table,” James said.

The girl’s eyes flew wide and she lunged across the table toward them.

Instantly, Amelie pulled the gun from under the table and shot Alt Girl in the middle of the forehead.
