Book Description: Sometimes you just have to take flight.
A summer in New Orleans is exactly what Allie needs before starting college. Accepting her dad’s invitation to work at his hotel offers an escape from her ex-boyfriend and the chance to spend the summer with her best friend. Meeting a guy is the last thing on her mind—until she sees Levi.
Unable to resist the infuriating yet alluring Levi, Allie finds herself at the center of a supernatural society and forced to decide between following the path she has always trusted or saving a city that might just save her.
Review: I wasn't really sure what to expect from this novel. It seemed like the sort of thing I'd either really love or really hate, but lucky for me it turned out to be the former. Instead of diving into the overdone seas of vampires or werewolves, Ms. Ivy skillfully crafts an altogether new paranormal creature: the Pteron. I was really fascinated by the concept of the winged Pteron and their traditions, which were refreshingly new. The characters in the story were all likeable. I particularly enjoyed the banter between Allie and Levi. It was nice to see the female lead give the lead male a run for his money rather than instantly melt into a puddle at his feet. All in all, it was a fast, fun, and enjoyable read.
Jessa's Rating: 5 stars out of 5

Book Description: Freshman year of college is hard even when you're not tied to the future king of a supernatural society.
Allie dives into college head first with Hailey as her roommate and the city of New Orleans as her backyard. As things within The Society heat up, Allie realizes that whether she’s with Levi or not, she's in far too deep to turn back.
Review:After reading Flight I couldn't wait to jump right into the sequel. It definitely didn't disappoint! It starts out a bit slow but the pace picks up pretty quickly and keeps you turning pages (well into the night, in my case!). I enjoyed seeing a softer side of Levi and thankfully the author managed to do this in such a way that it didn't take away his edge. And the ending? Blew. Me. Away. I did not see that coming. I absolutely can't wait to read the next book to see what happens! The only thing that bothered me about the story (and why it got 4 stars instead of 5) was the way Allie kept fighting off Levi. I enjoyed the way she played hard to get in the first book, but by the second it felt like I had read that same story before (which I had). I'm hoping that by the next book in the series, she's 100% sure of her commitment to Levi and gives up pretending she doesn't want him for good.
Jessa's Review: 4 out of 5 stars
