Review by: Ledz Lim on April 20, 2013 :
This book wasn't kidding when it named itself "Introductions". Because believe me, no matter what the blurb says, it's really just about meeting all the characters for the series.

A sheltered girl who has no idea how stunning she is. Seven different but all equally swoon-worthy boys. Two mysterious professors. The Academy.

Well, it's a helluva good introduction!

Immediately I was drawn to the group dynamics. It's always refreshing to read about guy friendship -- Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke and North all seem so cool together. I can't wait to find out more about them, their secrets and The Academy!

Oh, Sang. I'm sure there's something so much more special about her. I loved that while she's innocent and sheltered, she's not weak. It's also fun to read the guys fawning all over her. I'm so jealous of her!

Gawd I'm gonna hang on to this series... I hope it lives up to my expectations. Now if only it would get a better marketing plan. Better book cover too.

On to book two!
