King Hall by Scarlett Dawn






Blurb:
A fresh, meaty, sink-your-teeth-in-and-hold-on-tight new adult fantasy series kicks off with King Hall…

King Hall — where the Mysticals go to learn their craft, get their degrees, and transition into adulthood. And where four new Rulers will rise and meet their destinies.

Lily Ruckler is adept at one thing: survival. Born a Mystical hybrid, her mere existence is forbidden, but her nightmare is only about to start. Fluke, happenstance, and a deep personal loss finds Lily deeply entrenched with those who would destroy her simply for existing — The Mystical Kings. Being named future Queen of the Shifters shoves Lily into the spotlight, making her one of the most visible Mysticals in the world. But with risk comes a certain solace — her burgeoning friendships with the other three Rulers: a wicked Vampire, a wild-child Mage, and a playboy Elemental. Backed by their faith and trust, Lily begins to relax into her new life.

Then chaos erupts as the fragile peace between Commoners and Mysticals is broken, and suddenly Lily realises the greatest threat was never from within, and her fear takes on a new name: the Revolution.

Review:
OMG...y'all.  I have got to say that King Hall is rivaling the Control series for my #1 spot in 2013.  About a month ago Scarlett posted on Facebook looking for blogs that would suit her book so we could read it early and let you know about King Hall as it publishes, tomorrow, August 1, 2013.  I of course responded to see if Stephanie's Book Reports would be "good enough!"  I was approved!  Whoop!  Ok, so while I was waiting to get the book I kept wondering why there was an approval process and of course how good will this debut novel be?

HOLY COW! I can say without a shadow of a doubt y'all need to buy this book TODAY!  I am a fan of paranormal books, especially ones with romance involved.  So, let's get into the story.  Lily Ruckler is a hybrid Mystical that should have never been allowed to live.  She's half shifter, half vampire.  Her vampire father doesn't know she exists.  Lily is raised attending human, or Commoner, schools until it's time for her to attend King Hall.  King Hall is a prestigious school for Mysticals and here is where she meets her mate.  He is the Prodigy (King to be) of the Shifters.  Now, I'm not spoiling this story for you, but let's just say Lily finds herself the Prodigy (Queen to be) of the Shifters.  She's forced to study three years of Mystical schooling in one year.  

There are three other Mystical Prodigies, and these four become fast friends, and share most all about themselves.  The current Kings can not understand why these four are so close and try many times to separate them through out the year.  Each time they prove to the Kings they're better together than they are apart.  

This book is full of exciting drama, little bit of steamy, and a whole lot of mischief.  When I was reading this book I stayed up to 1 AM to finish, as I'd been reading it all day, and when I got to the end I was like...NOOOOOO!!!  I sent Scarlett a message on Facebook telling her she had to be kidding me!  LOL  I am beside myself waiting for book #2!  

It's over the moon good, people.  5+ stars for Scarlett Dawn's DEBUT novel, King Hall!
