ExtraNormal Academy: PNR with a SciFi Twist Kindle Edition

There's nothing normal about the new girl.

When seventeen-year-old Mira Johns is selected by the academy ahead of six hundred other candidates as the first student ambassador ever to travel from the planet Nreim to Earth—despite coming dead last in every competition—Mira decides it must be because she’s the least likely to attract the Earth high school’s primitive and forbidden males.

That theory is blown when she does attract the attention of one of those males—a mysterious boy with a reputation as the crazy kid. After an initial period of resistance, Mira discovers they have a connection that transcends stupid rules.

When a series of serious accidents make it clear that someone wants to force her return, Mira realizes there’s got to be something sinister going on; but she can’t ask for protection from the agents assigned to protect her without revealing her big rule violation.

Mira’s only hope to keep her new friends safe and stay on the planet with her new love is to uncover the truth to why she, the most mediocre of candidates, was actually chosen for this assignment—before the agency discovers her secret and sends her back home.


Academy with an out-of-this-world twist. ExtraNormal Academy Book One is a captivating story of romance and adventure. If you like break-the-mold paranormal YA fiction, light romance, and a twist of science fiction mixed with paranormal, then you’ll love the first book in Suzanne Reese’s groundbreaking series.

Review

Praise for Extranormal Academy:
"This was a really great book. The story line is very unique. The pace was perfect and the world building took me for a delightful loop. The concept behind ExtraNormal is extremely innovative and highly interesting. Even how Mira experiences things on Earth for the first time, we realize just how much we (as humans) tend to neglect the simple things." - Book Cave Book of the Month
"I really had fun reading this and I just couldn't put it down". - Book Whales
This story grabs your attention at the first page. On going adventure holds you to the edge of your seat. This is an extraordinary adventure of misters, intrigue, suspense, and curiosity. A story that any teen would love."
"ExtraNormal is exactly my kind of YA. It's fast-paced, it's smartly written, it's got a love story that leaves you sighing, and (the icing on the literary cake) it's paranormal". - PidginPea
"If you want a read that will touch your heart mind and funny bone all at the same time; this is the read for you. It is so well written that and the story so fleshed out that it can stand alone as a singular story". - WTF Are you reading?
"Who is this author? Are they some famous literary author who is hiding under a pseudonym to write this? It's way too good for a first author....or maybe this is the start of some great stream of wonderful books, just like this one. one can only hope".
"I wasn't sure about this book when I started, but quickly was sucked into the story. Mira and her best friend on another planet were quite likable, and I liked the descriptions of the other planet. I'm hoping there's more books to come with these characters!"
"I really enjoyed this book!Fast moving and light! I laughed and cried! Full of laughs, suspense and romance. Totally wonderful!"
"ExtraNormal is one of the best YA books I've read in a long while; it's got well-crafted relatable characters, an innocently passionate love story, a strong storyline that keeps you compulsively flipping pages, and an ending that leaves you dying for more. I'll definitely be snagging the next book in the ExtraNormal series as soon as it hits shelves and/or ereaders!"
"I love it when I find a book that is the total package. Fun, smart, and original with just enough romance to make you remember what it's like to fall in love for the first time (or wish you had)".
"A mix of Urban Fantasy and definitely Sci-Fi, what an exciting new young adult series. I love how the author Suzanne V. Reese has woven mystery, love, family, teen angst and a ton of intrigue all while being an alien from another planet here on earth."

Well to start things off, this was a cute book. I liked the story and the characters were very sweet. When I started reading ExtraNormal I really didn't know what I expected. It was a refreshing tale about an alien girl who comes to Earth to find out information regarding two of the teachers at her new school. I enjoyed the story, I fell in love with Jesse. He was such a beautiful amazing guy, total fangirl here! He's a boy you just can't help but love. Mira was lucky to have him. I had fun reading Mira's thoughts, as a teenage alien on a different planet, Ms. Reese did a great job her creation. I loved that Mira was confused and she had a hard time with people touching her or being so close to her. It wasn't all "hey I am an alien but I get all things earthly". This was a good story, though I have to say it is more a sweet romantic story than a thrill ride.

I am not going to go into the story as the summary kinda explains it and I don't really want to give away too much about the plot. Sometimes with a story like this it is best to stick to talking about how much I liked the characters. This way I don't feel like I have given the whole story away.

So we have this alien named Mira. Yeah that's right she's the alien, for some reason when I bought this book I thought she was going to another world and was human. Ha ha I was totally wrong, but I can tell you I am glad I was wrong. Mira made an awesome alien right down to her enjoyment of human food. I laughed so hard when I was reading about her eating food. It was so funny. Not to mention her comments to Geery about the way human "males" smell, totally priceless! Not that this book was all fun and games. There is a lot of intrigue and mystery to it as well. After all Mira was sent there for a reason.

Jesse, oh you super cute sweetie you. I loved Jesse. He was a great match for Mira. I loved how he trusted her despite the fact that he knew she was keeping things from him. He never let his faith in her fail, never gave up even when it looked like things were impossible. I liked how he waited for her to tell him the truth, and his reaction to it, wow, what a guy. Could he be anymore perfect, umm yeah he can, but I won't go into that. He he. Just trust me you will love Jesse!

Geery is a Mira's friend from her home planet. I loved her interaction with Mira, it was hilarious. I love her "human" quotes from movies, she definitely added the right kind of flavour to ExtraNormal. She is the type of friend you want with you for life. She was a great support character and I can't wait to see if or when Ms. Reese writes a story about her. I really hope she does.

Now we get to the annoying boy you just can't stand, you know the one that makes you want to slap him. Everett, wow what a jerk! I hated this boy from the first moment I read about arrival. I just wanted to reach out and slap him so hard, at least I was not alone in this feeling. You go, Mira! I really enjoyed that she never let him push her around unless it might hurt someone close to her. Everett just plain sucks.

All in all, it was a good read, one I definitely enjoyed. I can't to see what happens next. Hopefully Geery's story is next in line. It would be nice to see her fall for a human after her telling Mira what she was doing was wrong. Oh how the mighty will fall, or at least I hope so. Well it's time to go, another assignment awaits. *Spy music plays*

Enjoyable read overall. A slog in the middle, had to push through it in hopes it was worth my time. Frankly, would be a terriffic short story, or novella.
The original "Enders Game" was far better than the full novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun romp!
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2012

Mira isn't sure why she was chosen for the assignment, but she's pretty excited. She comes from another planet that is superior to Earth but very similar. She grew up watching American television and eighties rock hits. She and her best friend Geery are always trying to outwit one another with trivia.

She's never eaten normal food - her nutrition comes in the form of a cube. They don't have cellphones or televisions, they don't need them. In her world, they communicate by Stream, a form of mind communication. She knows she isn't to look at a male or she'll be sent right back home before her mission is complete. In her world, link mates bond for life, as their electro-magnetic powers re pattern themselves.

She's to watch a couple of teachers that have blended in, also from her own planet, to see if anything is going on that isn't legal on her planet. However, when Mira meets Jessie, she knows she has sealed her own fate. He is everything she wants in a male, even though he is human. She tries to keep her secret as she knows it is the only way to keep him safe. If she is caught, it is instant death for him and possible death for him. However, they instantly are attracted to one another and keep their relationship secret.

Everett, a new boy at school, seems to be instantly popular but he really creeps Mira out. Something isn't right about him and she can't put her finger on it. But when he attacks her, she learns to keep her distance. But when he attacks someone she loves, all niceties are gone and she begins a thorough investigation into his life - even if it means she will forfeit hers.

ExtraNormal is a fun romp! Aliens, romance, action and suspense all mesh together into a great start to a new young adult series. It was magical watching Mira try her first piece of chocolate, learning how to use text, and a whole lot of other firsts that aren't available on her home planet. She and Jessie's relationship builds as the story unfolds and the quirkiness of her father had me smiling. It wraps up rather well, but with a bit of a cliffhanger that will definitely have me picking up the next in the series.

I really like this story and the characters. The only glitch was chapter 2. The storyline was still being introduced. Mira still didn’t know her classmates well and all of a sudden chapter 2 has her interacting with friends and discussing an enemy with no context. I almost quit but chapter 3 resumed right where it should. It must have been a glitch because I never found a good place for the scene in chapter 2 in the ensuing chapters.

But it was a good and fun read. On to book 2

This story is so well written with many twists and turns. Just as I thought I had it worked out there was another twist. Kept me guessing all the way through and I found it hard to stop reading! The build up continued right to the end. A really great read which teens or adults would thoroughly enjoy.

Now normally i am hugely anti sci-fi or aliens. Infact i almost never read it. I read the 'scrip for this book and was interested. It also was recommend by both amazon & goodreads so when i saw it as an amazon freebie i knew i would be reading it.
I really liked the book. The character interactions were great. Mira & Geery made me laugh out load a few times. I enjoyed the story & i will buy the next book in the series when it is released.
