Blazing Academy, Semester One by Avery Song

When the element of fire burns within your veins, the academy for all things blazing is the best place to learn how to make that flame burn even stronger.

Alice Blaze is my name, and I’m your typical adopted sixteen-year-old. My mom disappeared after my birth and my dad was an alcoholic maniac. That left me being raised by my protective grandparents in the single house up the hill that people only come to view on Halloween.
Apparently, our house is haunted, but I haven’t figured that one out yet.
Regardless of my depressing backstory, my life has always been in the line of misery. Since I was little, I always got into trouble, and it always ended up with something combusting into flames. Lighting up the curtains, explosive vials in lab class. Don’t get me started with the accidental school fire. Need I say more?
The last straw is when I’m accused of shattered all the windows in the entire school, but that doesn’t make sense because it has nothing to do with that burning nemesis called fire. With my grandparents having enough of my constant transfers, a letter of invitation lands right onto our doorstep.
I’m invited to Blazing Academy, the academy for all things scorching hot. Shifters, demons, and blazing hot witches…oh right. That’s apparently what I am. A blazing hot witch.
Let’s hope that’s all I am, and that this first semester goes a lot smoother than I’m imagining.
