This book was the definition of the unexpected! There was so many plot twists and turns and the storyline present was unique and I was dragged into the story because of the way this book felt so different from other books

Overall, this book had a unique storyline with some interesting characters. I can honestly say I did not expect the twists and turns within the story. However, I feel like I need to read more books in the series to determine whether or not I liked this book. I guess this is good, because I’m now hooked to find out what happens in the next book, but I’m on the fence. I find myself craving more answers and more to the story. I would probably recommend this book, for the sole purpose of needing to know if others felt as conflicted as I did after they finished the last page.

This book tells the story of Natasha, who is living a dead end life until she is swept up into the fold of Grey Wolf Academy. Although she is at first reluctant to settle into her new residence, she eventually acquiesces to the mystery and intrigue of the remote academy. While Natasha navigates her new life, she finds that there is much more than meets the eye at her school, and everyone around her has their own agenda. Natasha must learn quickly the secrets of the academy to protect herself from dangers she never imagined.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for an electronic advanced readers copy of this novel.

Natasha Clarke has slowly been going on a downward spiral ever since her dad disappeared and her mom stopped trying to deal with life because of it. She finds herself in a tight spot, but is taken to Grey Wolf Academy, a school which is on an island owned by an eccentric billionaire,

Stealing Infinity, by Alyson Noel, is a fun, quick read about teenagers, history and changing your fate. It is clearly the first book in a series. I hope the other characters will be fleshed out a little more, but I think the main mystery is intriguing and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens.

Stealing Infinity follows Nat who is new at Gray Wolf Academy and is being trained Arthur Blackstone. Here she begins to realize that things are not always as they seem, and can be a lot more sinister that meets the eye.

I loved the idea of the story, and the characters, but struggled a lot with the pacing of the story. The story to me was overall extremely slow. It took longer than I would have liked to get into it and once I put it down, it was hard to pick up which ruined any interest I had in finishing the book. Although there were parts that did pick up the pace and get me hooked, it often transitioned back to a much slower pace.

After finishing it however, I realized that besides the pacing, I enjoyed the story overall so I would recommend it to anyone who is okay with a relatively slow story.

Stealing Infinity tells a story of time travellers with a pinch of romance, a lot of secrets and even more mystery. Gray Wolf Academy isn't how it seems - even if I don't know why yet. The whole book revealed so many questions and not many answers so as you can imagine I am dying for more!

The further into the book you get, the more intriguing the prologue becomes.

"When the boy does find my daughter - and he will - I can only hope it will lead to her uncovering this object."

Has she already met this mysterious blue eyed boy? What does he want with her? Why? How does this tie in with her current situation? Ms Noel, I need answers!

The novel began with an introduction to numerology (something I'd never heard of) and I loved that it was included as it was fun to workout and read up on my number - I'm an eight! You can see the amount of research and detail the author included and it was a fantastic touch!

Alyson Noel is an author who has been in my heart for years - way back when The Immortals series came out and Stealing Infinity did not disappoint. The gripping storyline had me from the beginning and I was desperate for more when it ended. The author took a trope I generally don't like (time travelling) and spun a tale that become one my favourite reads of the year.

what interested me in wanting to read this book was that it has time travel elements which i had always found fascinating, even better with some added romance. Stealing infinity is a mix of Sci-fi, time travel, mystery, art history, romance, tarot, numerology.. a school (Gray Wolf academy) of time traveling students that travel through time to steal historical artifacts. in a way it does have a bit of psychological thriller elements were you are trying to guess who are the good people and who are the bad. overall a good YA fantasy sci fi book to read.

I LOVED this book!!!! Time travel is not my favorite but in this book it was used in an amazingly magical way! This story is best if you go in knowing little about the plot. If you give it a try you will not be disappointed!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a brilliant story on time travel, art, and history all rolled into a young adult book. I loved learning more about the time periods and things that were needed to blend in when time traveling.
I thought that some of the book was too fast paced...for instance, the beginning where we barely get to meet Mason, her best friend, before she is whisked away. I didn't get a feel for her home life, and why at the start of the book numerology was so important.

OVerall this is a great fantasy young adult book.
I can't wait to read the next in the series....because all young adult books MUST Be a series now.

I realized this was part of a series and wished the next one was out already! I need to know how this is going to wrap up! Can’t wait until Feb when next one is out! This was a great YA fantasy romance with a fun time traveling element.

In this novel, Natasha has been failing school and making choices she knows she will regret. This includes making friends with Elodie, the new popular kid at school. The two girls skip school and next thing you know Nat is in more trouble than she has ever been in her life. Her choices lead her to a new unknown school with a purpose that Nat can’t figure out. Gray Wolf Academy has taken her in and plans on teaching her to use a gift she doesn’t know she has. Natasha realizes she can’t trust anyone at this new school even as she starts to have feelings for the mysterious boy who helped get her here. Can Natasha navigate this new world safely with her heart intact?

Based on the prologue I wasn’t sure I’d like this book. But I came to enjoy it and really get into the story! I can’t wait to read the next one and figure out what is going to happen next! I was so excited when Entangled sent me a digital copy so I could check it out! Thanks Entangled and NetGalley for introducing me to another new author!

Really loved the world this story built It's a little teen soap opera-y, but not enough to turn me off. Looking forward to book #2. The tarot/numerology stuff might be a little woo-woo for some, but I thought it lent to the story perfectly.

Honestly, just not a very good book! I would've rated it 3 stars but two things in the book knocked my rating down, which I'll discuss later.

First of all, the plot was good and it seemed interesting at first glance. One positive about the book was the casual LGBQT+ representation, which was really nice to see! And, as I read through the book, the plot was interesting and I would've wanted to know more except for the writing. The writing was just short of abysmal and sucked all the intrigue out of a (mostly) otherwise good book. It seemed very middle-grade for a book clearly geared towards older teens (as evidenced by the mention of sex every other chapter).

Once we got past the first part where Natasha gets introduced to the Academy, it gets pretty good. However, the first part (which was like half of the book btw), made me not want to finish it. There was this one scene where Natasha asks Braxton why the winds will factor into their travel time which made me literally so confused.

"Why would the wind make a difference?" I feel a little embarrassed to ask, but I really am curious.

Maybe I'm just bad but I thought it was kinda self-explanatory??? She continues with this theme of being pretty... stupid throughout the entire novel. It was just incredibly hard to root for her and she just came off as a brat. That throwaway mention about how she CRIED when her mom told her she wasn't adopted and was actually her real daughter because she wanted to be adopted??? completely mental.

In fact, all of the characters are either extremely shallow in terms of character development (partially understandable considering this is a series and they'll likely be fleshed out more in the future) or just completely unlikeable. Elodie is a stereotypical mean girl and Braxton is the typical brooding hot guy, and they are both people I feel like I have read about before many times over in Wattpad

Ok, now on to the two things that made this otherwise 3 star book turn into a 2 star book. Aside from the generally Wattpad-y writing, there was one very particular element that made me go this is exactly like a Wattpad novel and made me tempted to quit the book. The insta-love between Braxton and (Na)tasha. She went from being pissed at him for essentially kidnapping her to making out with him in a day?? Then setting boundaries to be just friends (which we see none of) before making out with him more. All the while noting that he keeps keeping secrets from her and is generally a red flag. Yay. Honestly, he has no redeeming qualities (or any qualities as far as I can tell) besides being hot?

The second thing that made me hate this book was the near-rape scene that occurs when Natasha in time traveling. To me, it just felt like it added nothing to the plot and would've been better off omitted. Its only purpose was to seemingly raise the stakes (which could've just been done with some old-fashioned torture IMO). Was it historically accurate? Maybe??? I honestly have no idea but the entire scene just seemed very forced for shock value.

Rating: 2/5 stars
Thanks to Net Galley and Entangled Teen for my eArc!

A hidden boarding school run by a sketchy tech millionaire, who recruits young students that no one will miss or look for when gone. A story about time travelling with teenagers stealing old artefacts from different time periods.

I LOVED this book. Great characters with a lot of mystery around them. I don’t know who Tasha (MC) should trust or not, and that was a very intense feeling throughout the book, betrayal were always right around the corner. Also, I felt multiple possibilities for love interest? But yeah I think we all already have a favourite. Hrghh Braxton.

The time travelling • The students had to learn etiquette from different time periods to blend in while travelling. This was scary and the odds were always very high. Also, all the mystery around the people Tasha meet while time travelling is something I’m intrigued to learn more about in the sequel.

The book ends with A LOT of questions but it’s a good build up for future books, and I’m so excited for the sequel that comes out already in February 2023. I need it now.

What a fun fast-paced read! This book is full of adventure, mystery, time-travel, mean girl drama, and romance. What more could you ask for? Can't wait for book 2, there are so many mysteries to be unraveled.

This had me hooked right away.
I had no idea how anything was going to play out, all the twists kept me engaged and guessing.
I adore the characters and the relationships they’re building through the book.

I can’t believe I have to wait for the next one

I loved this. I loved this so much.

I'm gonna be honest - I was intrigued by the blurb, but when I saw the author, I had my reservations since I remember Evermore being ... not great. And let me tell you - this is exactly why I give authors another shot years later. Just because you didn't like something a few years ago doesn't mean you'll always detest what they put out there.

This book was pretty much written for me - time travel, magical school set up with different factions (well, different color sweatshirts), mean girl, possible love triangle, deception... Oh man, it's like she reached into my brain and found all the things I like to mesh into a book.

I loved the time travel in here. I like the idea of "gets" - time travel with a mission. I also really liked that these "gets" of historical art really aren't the main focus. I don't know what the main focus of the trips are, but it's definitely not just art.

I've been thinking about this book all day and I need the next one now. Right now.

Natasha clarke was on a downward spiral when elodie blue comes in the picture. Shes miss popular, a fashionista and she set her sights on natasha. Her best friend warned her no good could come from the friendship, but nat didn't listen and low and behold she finds herself at a club with a boy she just met and doesn't know who to trust. When she wakes up in her class she questions if the club was even real, until her principal calls for her to come see him. Then she sees her locker being opened and a bunch of clothes being pulled out and suddenly she knows she's been set up. One thing leads to another and her life is about to change. Then she's off to Grey wolf academy. This book is super interesting and has elements of time travel, numerology and tarot reading. Can't wait for the next book!

Well, if you liked Crave (like I do) then you're probably going to enjoy this. I'm a sucker for Sci-fi (and SFF in general) so this hit that mark. And while I'm not super into Tarot, Zodiac, Numerology or anything in that lane - this was a really cool book. The amount of research it must've taken? It's amazing. I was a little put off at first, because it took a bit for the story to really get going. I wasn't the biggest fan of being lost with the MC, but overall, it picked up and I was invested. This book spent a really long time (practically the whole time) to set up the plot and the story, and I'm excited for book 2. I think things are really going to start happening, more is going to come to light.
Honestly, not disappointed and i had a good time.

Loved it! Fantastic 5 star read. Alyson Noel has been one of my favorite authors for quite a while since I read her Immortal series with Ever and Damon. This is the first I've read by her in a while and she's still one of my faves and writes masterpieces.

Here's the synopsis from Goodreads:
These days, I’ve been killing it when it comes to letting people down. Now I’ve been kicked out of high school, arrested, and accepted into a remote, off-the-grid school owned and operated by an inscrutable billionaire tech guru.

Gray Wolf Academy is looking for a certain kind of student. Ones that no one will miss. Like me.

Then there’s Braxton. The beautiful, oddly anachronistic guy who showed up right when the trouble started. And he’s a total enigma—which means that I definitely can’t trust him, even if there’s something about him that makes me want to.
They all tell me I have a gift. A very rare gift. And Gray Wolf Academy wants me to learn it. To use it. Because if what they say is true, I have all the time in the world.
And that makes me the most dangerous high school student you’ll never know…

This is for sure a lot like Riverdale meets The Da Vinci Code. Natasha and the students at Graywolf Academy are time travelers who are stealing historical artifacts for their headmaster. Nothing and no one are as they seem. It's hard to know who to trust, what to believe, and what to think about everything after Natasha is caught for a crime she didn't commit and taken away to the Graywolf Academy. There is a lot of mystery, intrigue, sci-fi, and fantasy elements along with the lush historical settings. The romance or romance(s) between Natasha and Braxton and maybe between Killian and Natasha. There are definitely swoon-worthy romances with lots of adventure and action.
The ending was a cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next installment of the series. I need it and I can't wait to read more of this amazing story and find out more about everything. The only thing with content/trigger warnings is that the MC experiences an attempted rape/sexual assault. I would highly recommend this if you love Alyson Noel. Time-traveling, found family trope, swoon-worthy romance, YA, lush settings, art, history, and such. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing/Entangled Teen for letting me read and review this fabulous story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The pace of this book was a little hard to keep up with. before I could entirely wrap my head around something happening, a new thing would happen. But it felt like the author intentionally wrote the book this way because that was what the MC was experiencing. She was thrust into a world so different from her own AND put on the fast track before she could get her bearings. Writing like this really makes you feel like the MC does. It's kind of ingenious. I quite enjoyed the author's take on time travel. that you couldn't just blip into anywhere at any time from any place. IT had rules and limitations. While I understand that this book is not the end of the story, it left some questions unanswered and some things unresolved. I really hope that these things are finished up in the future.

I read something I have never read before, I loved the way the plot takes up the twists and turns and molds it into a fantastic journey for Tasha (she’s the MC and her name is Natasha). The concept, the world-building is done in such a strategic way that it lures me in and kept me hooked the entire time. This book is pretty unique in its own sense with a modern touch and a mix of times. This is the first book I read by Alyson Noel and simply loved her writing. The story started with a very interesting PROLOGUE which ignites the curiosity to feed the mind by reading further and unraveling the story layer by layer.

Things were a little difficult to understand in some places but are explained wherever needed, nothing before the point nor after just at the perfect time. Braxton is the character I want to know more off and want to know his pov too at many places. The chemistry between him and Tasha is adorable and unmissable. We get to see other characters and their personalities which gives an edge to the story that drives Natasha’s life. Arthur is the mysterious man who is planning something big and Tasha seems to be a key to it, I’m wondering what other things will happen in the next book that now she has started figuring herself out too.
