Academy 7

Academy 7 by Anne Ousterlund

I give this a 1 out of 5 stars.

Aerin Renning has secrets and a dark past.  She's accepted into the most prestigious school Alliance which takes her by surprise since she isn't even a citizen, but that won't stop her from going.  She keeps herself isolated in fear that her secrets might become exposed.  Because she isn't from their world, Aerin must spend all her time researching Alliance in hopes of being invited back to Academy 7.

Dane Madousin is the son of a very powerful man in Alliance.  His father is the General and is on the Council, a small circle that governs Alliance.  Going to Academy 7 was never a dream of Dane's, but anything to get away from his excuse for a father.  Dane finds out that he is at the top of his classes except one--Physical Combat.

After a mishap in the computer lab, Dane and Aerin are forced to work together as punishment.  After weeks of silence, secrets are revealed. Dane and Aerin quickly begin to realize they much more in common than they ever though before.

Overall this book was not one that I will ever read again. The book is written in third person switching point of views every second.  It is very hard to keep track of what has happened and is very slow.  There is no real meaning behind this book, no message.  The characters aren't described well, so it is hard to connect.  For me, books with well written character are the best books because we grow to love the character and connect with them, but the character in Academy 7 weren't given a personality.
