I thought this was a nice addition to the world of the Academy, opening up a lot more about it. I gave it four stars for the boys and the background.  I would have had to give it three stars for the girl. She just isn't as believable. This is supposed to be a more "adult" version, but while the kissing got amped and there is nudity, the actions of Kayli are still very juvenile, as are the boys, which she indeed calls them. With them having been graduates of the Academy I would have expected more mature actions and reactions from them, but indeed, they are only 18yrs old for the most part, not really adults in anything but name.  Kayli's reactions don't fit with her background very well, and I had very little sympathy for her.Still with the new boys to drool over, and the tie-ins with the old boys, it was a nice distraction until the next Ghost Bird book comes out.
