Finale: Academy of Stardom, Book 4

This is the final book in the series Academy of Stardom which very quickly became a top read for me. The books must be read in order and are not standalones. The four books tell the story of Pen and her breakers, Xeno, Zayn, Dax and York, brought together by dance and trying to steer clear of the street gangs and their criminal activities. Then they’re thrown in the deep end and torn apart but three years later they’re back together, there’s so much pain and anger but the bonds of friendship and love are strong. This series is amazing, full of dance moves that you’ll want to research, great playlists and so many fantastic characters you’ll not want to leave this world of gangsters, dance, tension, sizzling spice and captivating, drama filled story.

Completed and blown away.*𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐚*

I am always captivated by Bea's writing which is always aflame with tension. The Academy of Stardom is so expertly written, its full of a passion that drives Dance and how that love for the movement can break or save a relationship that is much deeper then love. Finale picks up right where Breakers ends and my heart couldn't handle it, tears fell from my eyes and Bea really pulled me through the emotional ringer, the anger and unease vibrated through the characters and I couldn't help but consistently relate to some of the emotions as they felt so real! I was relieved that despite Pen having the breakers at her side and Beast and Grim at her back she didn't loose her fire and her strength and if anything this strength really grew and I was here for it.While Breakers focused more on the growing relationship with the boys Finale really dives deeper emotionally into Pens relationship with her sister and her family history, it really is heartbreaking and its a heartbreak Bea executes with so much ease. As sad as i am for the Academy of Stardom to end Finale really was a breathtakingly brilliant ending

What an absolute incredible end to the series!!Sooo many emotions about this book! I laughed and I cried! I felt everything!!! It's not often a book makes me feel the way this one did and I'm so glad I've read this series! Absolutely fantastic! I'm blown awayI cannot wait to read more of Bea's book!

Wow, four books in four days and I could not put any of them down, to say they all leave you on cliff hangers up until the Finale would be an understatement, I have read many books now since I realised how much I loved this type and this series did not disappoint. I had such a connection to Pen and all her breakers and reading about the way they danced with each other while playing the named songs in the background definitely made me cry too many times, seeing all the characters grow and feeling the love they have for each other is just amazing and Bea did such a great job writing this, I can honestly say that after finishing Finale I am going back to the beginning to read the whole thing again, I can guarantee that most people feel this way after reading! Thanks for the amazing story x

Omg this book floored me. I knew it would be a book that broke me, after the previous three books. These characters are so well written that you feel every ounce of pain, fear, heartbreak and Love that they go through.Also with the guys getting chapters from their povs brings out so much more in this book.The book starts from when the last book ended with Pen consoling Lena after what happened. We see them try to find out more information and try to find David throughout the book. To be taken through some crazy twists and also some hot and extremely steamy scenes. To then come to such an explosive ending that made me cry for what happened but also made me so happy with the ending Pen, Xeno, Dax, York and Zayn got.This book will pull you in so quick you won't be able to put it down until you turn that last page. Such an epic and emotional journey that you MUST Pick up today. #Muchlove4DaxXenoYorkandZayn

This book outdid all the others. Wow I can't begin to explain how my heart pumped reading this book. I felt right there going through all the emotions with Pen. The trauma,heartbreak and love is this book was outstanding. The spice is this book was HOT

I enjoyed this series initially, although the descriptions of the dances became a bit much, I couldn’t always visualise what was being performed so the detail didn’t add to the story throughout - I get it, they are exceptional dancers!I can’t quite put my finger on why I didn’t enjoy this last instalment as much…with the previous books I couldn’t put them down but this one was a bit flat. It took much longer to read as it didn’t hold my interest which isn’t good as it’s the finale. It was very obvious who the snakes were, and the final showdown with David felt rushed and anti climatic. I hope Grim and Beast get their own book and I’ll give Hudson’s books a try but I’m somewhat cautious!

All I can form in words at this moment are what an end to a series.A Grande Finale per se.The last 30% of the book was so good I good not put it down.I’m not one to show facial emotions while reading but dang. This book had me going at the end.For sure worth the read, the whole series. I def will be recommending to others.

O final da série foi maravilhoso e emocionante, me arrancou risos( cortesia dos meus favoritos: York e Dax- eu amo vcs) e também lágrimas. Eu ri e sofri junto com esses personagens, e tive algumas paradas cardíacas.Apesar disso, foi o que menos me prendeu durante a leitura, porque o início foi um pouco enrolado, a Penny praticamente surtou depois do final de Breakers e foi parar em um lugar escuro. Mas os garotos estavam ali ao seu lado sempre, mostrando o quão perfeitos e apaixonados são por ela. Achei que foi um início parado, maaaasss temos uma cena no ofurô 🥵🥵🥵 que compensou a demora, misericórdia. A emoção mesmo veio depois de 70% da leitura, com um final de nos infartar e deixar o coração quentinho. Essa série nos deixa com muita vontade de conhecer os outros livros da autora, porque muitos personagens de seus outros li tia tem grande participação nela. Grim e Bear, Louise, Masks, Dheana dhe, Ásia e tantos outros nos deixam curiosos pra conhecer sua história. Eu vou ler mais da autora com certeza!

Ein sehr gutes und spannendes Buch

Oh. My. God. This book… This SERIES. THIS IS BOOK 4 IN A 4 BOOK SERIES THAT MUST BE READ IN ORDER. IT IS THE LAST BOOK OF THE SERIES.Prepare for a long review, I had a lot to say about this book.“They’re my lovers. My best friends. My heart. They’re the other pieces of my soul.”This story is like nothing I’ve ever read. The way the music fit with the words and really brought the words to life was phenomenal and amazingly well done. I don’t know much about dance, but was able to envision it well with the music. These four men have shown such a fierce love for Pen and watching it unfold through these last four books has been amazing.This story took me on a ride I won’t soon forget. To be completely honest, I was worried when it was announced that Breakers wouldn’t be the last book, but that the series would become 4 books. I should’ve known not to worry. These characters needed a whole extra book to finish their story, and it wouldn’t have been the same in 3 books. The writing in this book, and the other three was so well done. I can’t even explain it honestly. Her words pierced my heart and left me in tears throughout most of this book. Bea Paige has such a way with words that just captures you. When I finished this book, even though most the characters got their HEA, I just sat and stared. My heart pumping from the final twist and trying to calm down from the bombs that started dropping at about 70% and all the way through to the end. I couldn’t put into words what this book meant. It was a heart wrenching, beautiful, unique, and bold story about love, death, friendship, loss, revenge, hope, fear, and accepting happiness even if we don’t think we deserve it.“As the music plays, we continue to soothe her, pressing our fingers over her body. We’re four pairs of hands, four beating hearts with one simple goal: to love her“Penelope, Pen, Titch, Tiny, Kid…. She was…. I am literally tearing up thinking about what she’s gone through. She is stronger than most people in her situation and keeps going and protecting those she loves with a fierceness that’s not to be messed with. Watching her break and grow again in this book was devastating and beautiful like a well choreographed routine. She is a heroine who will always have a piece of my heart.“They’re my lovers. My best friends. My heart. They’re the other pieces of my soul.”Xeno, Dax, York, and Zayne were amazing in this book as they had been in the series. They all hold my heart hostage and I’m 100% ok with that. These boys have been bonded together for their whole lives, and now with Pen back, they are whole and they don’t plan on losing her any time soon. These boys are willing to do anything for their girl and they prove it in bigger and bolder ways each book.“We will be your light when the world gets too dark,” he continues. “We will be the lyrics in every song and the step in every dance. We’ll remind you every f*cking day who you are.”This series was a journey and well worth the wait between books as well as the real life twist that this was becoming 4 books instead of 3. With her words, Bea Paige took out my heart, and it belongs to her now. It lies between the pages of this series and in every word on my kindle. Thank you Bea Paige, for writing a love story like this and sharing it with the world. It’s unique and unlike anything I’ve read. 5 dancing stars for this Finale.

I have said it and will say it again. This is The best series ever ! These characters are so real and raw. This story is so good and emotional, and sexy. Just READ IT !
