Review: New Moon (Alpha Wolf Academy #1) by JJ King

An elite shifter academy, a hot guy, an arch-nemesis, and a whole shitload of trouble.

Elena Jensen doesn't belong at Alpha Wolf Academy, the most prestigious shifter university in North America, but that's her reality and she's determined to make the best of it.

When she meets a guy with emerald eyes and dark, wavy hair that makes her start rethinking her disbelief in soul mates, Elena's opinion of AWA changes. Although, she'd feel better about her place in the social order if her crush's twin sister wasn't trying to destroy her reputation and get her expelled.

Elena's already shaky foundation is pulled out from under her when the academy is besieged by soldiers and she chooses to put herself in danger to save lives.

When it's life or death, the enemy of your enemy is your friend... or at least, Elena hopes so. Because more than just her life depends on it.

Fans of Vampire Academy and Legacies will want to sink their teeth into Alpha Wolf Academy!

This book has trigger warnings of a school shooting and violence.

New Moon by J.J. King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

There isn't much I can say about this book. I enjoyed it. There are multiple typos throughout it and parts are written in third person while most of it is first person, leading me to believe it was originally written in third person and then rewritten in first with some parts overlooked. Those parts were distracting, but not so much so that I put it down. It was a quick read. The characters felt bland, but not horrible. The twist at the end was a surprise, but most of the book was predictable. I likely won't read the rest of the series.
