Ratings and reviews

Author Laura Greenwood hits another one out of the park with this series. She developed a believable world, engaging characters, and a compelling storyline. Shadow Seer is the first book in the Scythe Grove Academy series. It is awesome to have a series that focuses on reapers. Since death is a genuine part of being human that we often avoid. It is an unknown and uncomfortable topic for most. We see other aspects of the paranormal as well that meld well into this world and the storyline. The characters are fun, young, highly competitive, and just discovering their "talents" in this world. Syxe thought that she was a bit weird being able to see ghosts. Coming to the Scythe Grove Academy will help her find out more about who she is and her place in this world. Having lived as an orphan, she always felt like she did not belong, and now she knows why. She has friends for the first time, and they are there to help and support her as she hones her skills as a reaper and a seer and as romantic interest blossoms. I look forward to the next book in the series, Shadow Prophet. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Exploring Her Identity . . . The world-building in this story is so well done and adds to the mystery as Syxe tries to find out about her past and why she is different. Syxe is an orphan and has always wondered why she can see ghosts. She finally learns that she is a seer reaper. She also finds out the orphanage that took her in is not really what it appears to be. At least in her new life at the Scythe Grove Academy she has friends and help in dealing with her mysterious past. I look forward to the next book where we will learn even more about Syxe’s journey to awareness.

'Shadow Seer' is Laura Greenwood's first book in her "Scythe Grove Academy" series which is this is non-bullying academy story. This time we meet Syxe who has grown up in a very oppressive, rather dictatorial orphanage without any knowledge of her parents. She's alone, spending her days outside, and is dreading the upcoming Shadow Oath which is looming in her future. You see, Syxe has the ability to see ghosts, and one, in particular, calls her a reaper which she later learns what that means and meets a reaper team. She also learns that the orphanage she was in is not what it represents itself to be. The world-building is spot on, the premise is intriguing and now there's a bit of a mystery involved making me want to see what comes next.
