Action. Suspense. Magic.

Phoebe Pope has enrolled at the Campus Below: a spy academy for shape-shifters hidden deep beneath a normal boarding school whose humans unknowingly protect it. There, she leads a double life: spy trainee Below and normal teen Above. When officials discover a kill list, with her name on it, Phoebe's life takes a terrifying turn. For years, Phoebe has managed to keep her growing power a secret, but with villains hot on her trail, it's only a matter of time before she's exposed for what she is--a weapon.

Phoebe seeks distraction in movie star Colten Chase, who attends the Campus Above and appears to be majoring in winning her heart. But desire turns to heartache when Phoebe suspects that something sinister lurks beneath Colten's glitter and fame.

Now Phoebe's caught in a mesh of lies, betrayals, and danger. Can she rely on her new spy instincts--and her secret power--to get to the truth and to stay alive?

Captivating and unputdownable, The Year of Four is a magical Teen / Young Adult thrill ride you don't want to miss.

Product description

About the Author

Nya Jade is a singer-songwriter and author based in San Francisco. Her music videos have aired on the VH1, BET, and MTV networks. USA Today hailed Nya as a “young female troubadour worth keeping your eyes and ears on,” in an entertainment feature on up-and-coming singer-songwriters. “Her cool singing voice recalls Sade,” said the LA Times. Between writing and performing new music, Nya took a musical sabbatical to focus on writing this novel—an endeavor she found quite daunting, until she began looking at each chapter as a verse in a very long song. Phoebe Pope and the Year of Four is her first novel. In her free time, Nya enjoys hanging out with family and friends, searching for amazing gluten-free desserts, and bargain hunting for her next pair of funky shoes. Nya holds a B.A. in Economics and an M.A. in Sociology, both from Stanford University.

The Year of Four: A Phoebe Pope Novel (Book 1) by Nya Jade is a well written fantasy that fans of other popular series would find an interesting read, it may be a young adult read but any age would enjoy!

The reader meets Phoebe Pope who enrolled at a spy Academy situated below a normal boarding school for humans whose occupants don't realise they are protecting the supernatural residents below. Phoebe finds herself leading a double life as a normal teen attending the school above while training to be a spy below. A kill list is discovered with Phoebe's name on. With the passing years Phoebe kept her powers hidden but with the bad guys closing in on her time is running out.

Alongside the paranormal genre there is also a romance theme.

I really loved this book, I was intrigued to see if it was like Harry Potter as described in the description. Maybe it was a little but not completely, however I just couldn't put it down. Roll on book 2, I can't wait to see how this series continues.

WOW, this is such an awesome read. I loved it and couldn't put it down. Being a debut novel for Nya Jade, this book was fantastic and a great introduction to the series. The writing style was fantastic and this book has such a fast pace you don't realise the pages are turning so quickly. The characters are unique and with each page they evolve and create a world that is like no other.

Phoebe Pope is the protagonist and has been unique her whole life. Her mother skipped out on her when she was a child and after being chased by Vigo (shaper bad guys) her Father and Phoebe have a car accident where her Father is caught and killed. Phoebe has scars that run deeper than just her skin and has trouble dealing with leaving her father behind. Now living with her Grandfather, Phoebe is packed off and sent to a boarding school, Green Lane Academy. This school is special; there are two levels, Above and Below. Above is where normal school happens, where humans and shapers attend classes like Maths and English, but it is Below where the real schooling happens for Phoebe. Below is where Phoebe learns how to kill a Vigo and use her elemental powers. The humans don't know the shapers even exist.

There seems to be a big increase in Vigo activity around the Boston area, where the Academy is located and precautions have been made to make sure Vigo are noticed if they come close. During an initiation event with the new students, an attack takes place and a girl is shot with an arrow, Phoebe is dragged away into the forest by a Vigo and is trying to fight back. All of a sudden another Vigo comes along and fights the Vigo for the prize. Phoebe is free and the Vigo's leave. Phoebe is astounded, that doesn't normally happen. Who is her saviour?

There is a prophecy, during the year of four, there will ONE that will be able to fight against Vigo and destroy them. This is such a year; there are four students enrolled that are half human and half shaper, called Hyphas. These four students will have special classes to help build their elemental powers and determine who will be the special one.

In the Above campus, there is a celebrity attending school. Colten Chase is causing all sorts of drama with his awesome good looks and popularity with the girls. Phoebe is instantly attracted, but so is every other girl in school. Colten seems to notice Phoebe straight away and pursues her. They get closer each time they spend time together, but Colten seems too perfect, something seems off.

When two of her special classmates are kidnapped, all hell breaks loose and security is upped. Phoebe and the last Hypha are under close security. Phoebe is determined to find out who is behind the kidnappings and why. She follows a lead and sneaks off campus, but of course gets captured.

Can Phoebe escape from the baddies? Will she be able to find out who is behind the kidnappings? What about Colten the hottie, can they be together even though they are from different worlds? Can Phoebe find the other teenagers before they are killed? Who will be the ONE?

This book has it all, betrayals, romance, action, adventure, mystery and magic, oh and don't forget the hot celebrity, Colten. This is such a creative read and I couldn't help but fall in love with the story and the characters. I really need book two now! I highly recommend this to all readers, it is such a fun and addictive read.

Cadet Phoebe Pope (shaper, Dedham) had met Cadet Hayley (shaper).
The Great Hall doors swung open revealing a domed room with lots of different colored ornamental glass.
There was a Campus Above & a Campus Below.
Professor Yori (Headmaster) welcomed all the students back.

79 AD, Mount Vesuvius was once the homeland of the Shapers.
Cadet Phoebe Elisabeth Pope (16) was in the Green Lane dorm. Cadet Cynthia “Cyn” was her roommate.
It seems all the girls had the hots for Cadet Colten Chase (1/2-Vigo/human, student).
Cadet Scott Roland, Cadet Lewis Baker, Cadet Pope, & Cadet Mariko Higashi (Asian girl) all classified Hyphas were headed for Professor Yori office.
Professor Elmore was lecturing in his communications class.
Professor Koon (f) taught music.
Class was over & they all were going outside to play soccer.
Katie Banks was in the Aviary Clinic.
A Vigo (silver-striped black fur tiger) had shot her.
Yelena (Russian, blond woman, intelligence), Afua (black woman, combat specialist, team leader), Deborah-Anna (mentor, technology) are all Blackcoats.
What’s going on with Cadet Colten & Tanya Brown (Colton’s co-star)?

5 students would go through Conversion Day, which is becoming a son/daughter of Osiah.
What did Alexori want?
Professor Jones (f, Vigos instructor) had been kidnapped.
What happened to Becka (Gabe’s daughter)?

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written fantasy book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great fantasy movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. It was just OK for me so I will only rate it at 4/5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; Goodreads; MakingConnections; Making Connections discussion group talk; Dreamwell Publishing; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

I really loved the idea of having the Below school for shapers underneath the Above school for humans and shapers. Phoebe didn't help me get my bearings easily what with her getting lost quite a bit. I admit that picturing the schools was fun.

Great characters, awesome scene building and a story many will love.
