Academy of the Dark Arts Series by Nikki Dean

Hide your magic. Never admit that you're a witch. And never, ever trust a hot guy with a gun. ...This witch is about to discover that some rules are made to be broken. All sassy witch-in-hiding Mallory Serra wants is to go to work and live a normal life. After all, magic is illegal--not that she can totally control her powers, anyway--and any witch who's been caught casting spells is forced into the elite Academy of the Dark Arts, then drafted into the military after graduation... moreHide your magic. Never admit that you're a witch. And never, ever trust a hot guy with a gun. ...This witch is about to discover that some rules are made to be broken. All sassy witch-in-hiding Mallory Serra wants is to go to work and live a normal life. After all, magic is illegal--not that she can totally control her powers, anyway--and any witch who's been caught casting spells is forced into the elite Academy of the Dark Arts, then drafted into the military after graduation. Slinging coffee for cranky commuters is bad enough for Mallory, but actually being shot at? No, thanks. But when a friend needs help, Mallory breaks her rules and performs one teeny, tiny spell. What could go wrong? Everything. Matt, a hot-as-sin soldier, catches her in the magical act. Taken by the government, Mallory is forced to enter the Academy, where she's surrounded by three sarcastic, mouth-watering students teachers who are more interested in pushing her out of their special ops program than helping her succeed. Until she learns their dirty little secret, when they have no choice but to give her a hand. Or several. This book is part 1 of a 4 book series, and has more than a little steam with the romance. Happy reading! less

Hide your magic. Don't tell anyone you're dating your TA, and now maybe your handler, too. Don't tell anyone about the jaguar in your room, or secret lab under the dorm. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. All Mallory Serra wants is to get through her time at the Academy of the Dark Arts unscathed, without being yanked out of class and sent to the front lines before she's even learned to control her magic... moreHide your magic.

All Mallory Serra wants is to get through her time at the Academy of the Dark Arts unscathed, without being yanked out of class and sent to the front lines before she's even learned to control her magic. Not getting her boyfriend, Nico, kicked out for dating a student, or her government handler -turned-other-boyfriend, Matt, reassigned for dating his agent would be great, too. Now Alec and Damon, her other professors, are hinting that they want more of her, too, but she plans to stay as far away from that as possible. The stakes are getting too high, and they all have too much to lose. But alas, nothing ever goes according to plan at the Academy of Dark Arts, and some rules were meant to be broken. less
