The Academy: Drop of Doubt by C.L. Stone Review #2

The Academy Drop of Doubt

By C.L. Stone

Release Date: January 22, 2014

Sang Sorenson and the Academy boys return to Ashley Waters High School but before they get a chance to even settle in, Sang’s life is threatened by an anonymous caller.

They retreat to the protective walls of the Morgan estate, a safe house for when the boys are under fire. But when new threats can break through those barriers that once kept them secure, it leaves Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke and North rushing to figure out who is hunting them. 

But when you’re fighting a ghost who seems to know all your secrets, retreating is no longer an option.

The Academy, Deceptively Strategic.

Meredith's Review:

Ok, so I realize Jen already reviewed this one. BUT...I just had to say something too. I mean, just OMG. I love this series! And oh my #TeamVictor, #TeamGabriel....I'm so at a loss. I've always been a die-hard North girl, but I don't know even Dr. Green is sneaking in there with such ease. 

The story keeps getting more intense with each book, and I found Drop of Doubt to be edge-of-your-seat great. I HATED having to put it down to you know...work, take care of the kiddos, all those real world things that totally get in the way. I needed to know what happened and waiting nearly killed me.

I won't go into any details because doing so just ruins the fun. But I will say there are some fantabulous Victor moments, some OMG Gabriel moments, and even a few Wha...hahahawt Dr. Green moments. My #TeamNorth self is jumping on board several teams at this point. 

I can't forget our leading lady Sang. She is just Ah-MAZ-ing! This girl has spunk and is loyal to the end. For someone so damaged, so confused, and so alone (although not anymore), this girl has got fight in her. I'm going to have to say the word failure is not in her dictionary because the girl never gives up and never gives in. You will be cheering her on in this book.

So, since I can't spoil my favorite moments that I SO want to talk about...I will gif them instead (well, a few anyway. There are too many to count)!

Moment #1-Sang and Victor

Moment #2-Sang and Gabriel

Moment #3-Bathtub

Followed by

Moment #4 Dr Green

Moment #5 Sang and Luke

Moment #6 The Twist Ending

How I felt after reading this book:

And a little:

That is all!

Jennifer's Review:
So I have LOVED every book and every character - though I have remained firmly on Team Kota until this book. In the fourth book I fell a little more Gabriel and this book -- that grows stronger for Gabriel but then Oh My -- VICTOR. So I guess its fair to say I am becoming Team All the Academy Boys!

This book changes everything -- I think this is C.L.Stone's best book in this series (each one was fabulous in its own way). Up till this one I was still holding Book 1 - Introductions as my favorite b/c as the title states C.L. introduced me to every character and got me love each of the characters. Which given there are 9 boys and innately you just wanna pick one -- she makes you fall for each boy individually.

But.....this book was action and suspense on almost every page! It was pretty amazing as we really get to see the boys in action and see Sang come out of her shell. She's starting to have her own opinions and doesn't want the boys "coddle" her anymore. I loved it!   Sang also has some skills which some of the boys recognize and appreciate while others still want to just keep her safe. I can't wait for the next book to see how this mystery continues!
