The Academy of Elements Series by Kat Adams

I draw kickass superheroes. I never thought I was one.To me, the stories that unfolded on the pages of my webcomic have always been way more awesome than real life—right up until the day an evil bad Assassin’s Creed cosplay dude showed up and tried to erase my existence.I fought back—and caught on fire. Like, legit fire that turned purple and not only scared off the creepy evil bad, but brought a hot, OMG hawt fire elemental to my door to whisk me off to some mysterious academy... moreI draw kickass superheroes.

Like, legit fire that turned purple and not only scared off the creepy evil bad, but brought a hot, OMG hawt fire elemental to my door to whisk me off to some mysterious academy. Did I mention hot? Did I mention he brought hawt friends?Did I mention a mysterious academy?Turns out I’m an elemental with the power to control elements with my mind, and there’s an Academy of Elements that can teach me how to hone my craft. Crazy, right? Even crazier, a secret academy of elemental wizards known as the Council handpicked me to save our kind from some seriously dark sorcerers determined to destroy our world. No pressure.At least I have my quad squad—four OMG hawt elementals—by my side. If I have to literally save the world from annihilation, why not do it in style by pairing with them—in every sense of the word?Welcome to Clearwater Academy…it's time to draw your weapons. less

So far, my life at the academy has been anything but boring. I have four boyfriends. Four OMG hawt guys all hot for me. I just want to point that out. Now, onto our regularly scheduled programming… My webcomic is flourishing now that I’ve been outed as the artist. And the fact it’s based on the world I’d saved. And the fact the baddie in the webcomic was literally based on the real-life grand poohbah of dark elementals... moreSo far, my life at the academy has been anything but boring.

And the fact the baddie in the webcomic was literally based on the real-life grand poohbah of dark elementals. After the ultimate evil bad tried to erase my existence last year—and didn’t succeed, so go me—I thought I’d fulfilled the prophecy by protecting my world. I was wrong. Turns out, there are a whole lot of evil bads out there, and they’re all gunning for me. None more so than my devilishly handsome trainer—who’s teaching me all sorts of terrifying things I didn’t want to know. Especially when he tries to turn the academy against itself. I’m going to have to go out of my way to disappoint him. It’s a new year at Clearwater Academy…and it's time to choose your side. Wrath of Wind is book two in a four-book, university-age paranormal academy series. In this why choose story, there’s more snark from our heroine, more steam and closer encounters from the four hawt guys that partner her, and an even more evil bad willing to do whatever it takes to bring her down. less

I’m not evil, I’m just drawn that way...and Clearwater needs me to tap into my darkness to save the academy.So, this school year so far…kind of sucks. One of my guys graduates a week into the term, another transforms into something none of us could have possibly imagined, and the other two can’t stop bumping puffed chests. I don’t need this right now, especially when out of nowhere, a bunch of new students have shown up as “magically enhanced... moreI’m not evil, I’m just drawn that way...and Clearwater needs me to tap into my darkness to save the academy.So, this school year so far…kind of sucks. One of my guys graduates a week into the term, another transforms into something none of us could have possibly imagined, and the other two can’t stop bumping puffed chests. I don’t need this right now, especially when out of nowhere, a bunch of new students have shown up as “magically enhanced.” They can’t control their powers—heck, they don’t even know they have enhanced powers. But they’re making a mess of my academy, a mess the Council is determined to clean up by any means necessary.Worse, after an exceptionally evil bad hits me with an exceptionally evil spell, I’ve been magically enhanced. Fun twist there. That means my gorgeous, elemental guys have to defend me from my own school…and try to keep me alive in the process, which is harder than it sounds, especially with who’s after me.And the punches keep coming. The barrier protecting the academy is failing, allowing dark elementals in to randomly attack students. My mom is back and keeping secrets. Did I mention she seems hellbent on destroying my life? Add in the fun fact I’m unable to control my new, gruesomely evil powers, and that makes me the most explosive, potentially deadliest unknown of the equation.It’s time to decide whether I’m part of the problem…or the solution.It’s a new world at Clearwater Academy…and it's time to take a stand. less

They thought they could silence me. They were wrong.I’m the protector of my academy and the world of elementals. Together with my quad squad, I’ll do anything to save them all. So of course, I get pegged as a threat to society by the Council AND SENT TO PRISON. Because that makes sense when the biggest threat we’ve ever faced is bearing down. But piss off a ginger at your own cost. Now I’m pulling out all the stops... moreThey thought they could silence me. They were wrong.I’m the protector of my academy and the world of elementals.

Recruiting everyone I can find—elementals, legends, witches, alchemists, even seers—and I’m taking the battle back to the academy. If the Council wants a fight—they’ll get one. It’s the end of an era at Clearwater Academy…and this time, it’s win or die.Fury of Earth is book four and the final book in the university-age paranormal academy series. In this why choose story, our snarky heroine faces the ultimate sacrifice, the guys hold NOTHING back, and the evil bad is someone we never saw coming. less
