Description

The Other Side of Envy is the eighth book in The Academy Ghost Bird Series.

Sang Sorenson dreams of what life might be like for her in the Academy, but joining isn't as easy as simply writing an exam or passing an interview. She'll need to pull the team together to get them on her side in order for it to work, which is harder than it sounds. The boys will do anything to protect her, which, for some, means keeping her out.

But that's not all that's going on in Sang's complicated life. After a shocking revelation, Gabriel Coleman splinters himself off from everyone, avoiding not just his Academy team, but even going so far as to avoid Sang. Desperate to bring him back and get him on her side, Sang digs deep into his past to try to discover a way to reach out to him.

His truth is riddled with tragic events, but with the help of Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Luke and North, she might be able to reach out to him before envy and despair drag him too far down to be saved.

The Academy, Deeply Bonded

    Another intense and wild adventure for Sang and her boys, Sang is learning and being more involved in Academy missions along with the constant threat of outrageous adult figures stalking and threatening the Team and epic secrets being revealed along with fantastic character relationship growth. A huge massive awesome meeting and reveal with the Academy all dog team with their one bird was epic and unexpected but so appreciated that the connection has been made and the willingness they had to help Sang in her attempt to join her own dog team and stay together successfully. Sang learns a lesson in how much further she has to go in making connections with the boys, what interests them and what they like and how to react to them when one is slightly jaded. Sang is growing more in her confidence being more outspoken and showing her willingness to help improve the team efforts while still being extremely adorable and admirable in her kindness and optimism. This book focused more on Gabriel in such a vulnerable way, the insecurities Gabriel faces and his growing connection to Sang was intense and so needed that was satisfying to read. The sufferings and past horrors Gabriel endured were heartbreaking but Gabriel’s perseverance is inspiring. It was a great full circle read how Gabriel reacted to learning of the plan to keep and have Sang join their Academy team was a wild stressful worrisome ride but it leaves the reader feeling nothing blocking the decision and comradeship between Gabriel and Sang. Reeling over the last epic secret reveal and desperate to know what happens next in this insane adventure and how Sang will react to such a revelation of her past.

    I try to hide/ignore the newest book for as long as I can. I know I will read it in a day or two and then I go a little crazy without it right after. Because I know that I won't have another dose for a while. Ahhh, the suspense! I'm still waiting for the next audio book. The first one was great. She really found the greatest voices. Okay, now back to waiting...
  • UM....EW???

    Does it not occur to anyone that this is basically polygamy? Like...I get it it's sorta hot to have so many guys fall for you but eventually ya just gotta pick ONE because it gets really awkward and uncomfortable if you like every one of them. Just saying. Plus, oh my gosh these books are freaky and unrealistic. Sorry for being a hater but I just wish people saw how disgusting this "relationship" Sang has is.

    I wish I hadn't read this entire series in just a week. I really love this series and this author. The author really knows how to keep the reader on their toes and wanting more every chapter. I wish the books were just a tad longer but it's still amazing!

    I love this series so much! Though I have yet to be able to read the last story because I have not got the money, I think it will be absolutely great. I just love the base of the story and how the author just makes it all fit together even though there are so many characters. And nothing is confusing. She always puts it in a way that most people will understand. I even got my friends hooked on the story.
