Summary from Goodreads:
When a group of mishaps are drawn together at the most prestigious magical school in Scotland, vampires meet banshees, witches meet wolves, and things begin to happen that haven’t happened for an age. For these eight teenagers, turning sixteen has never seemed so terrifying. To learn how to hone their skills, they will discover more secrets lurking behind the shadows of their mythical lives than they ever realised existed. How they survive the school is one thing. How they survive each other will be quite another.
Of the two books, I preferred the first, even though I am not a Harry Potter fan. Naturally there will be comparisons between the series. If you liked Christopher Mannino's Scythe Wielder's Secret series you may like this.
I appreciated the opportunity to get to know the characters before they were at school. They drew me in and made me care. I liked the mix of creatures and beings and how I could relate to them as "regular" sixteen year old kids. It is a book of striking contrasts. mean girl tactics and empathy, insecurities and young attractions. A book about finding oneself. The writing is very well done.

Summary from Goodreads:
Phil always thought his life was going to be chaotic. Orphaned as
a child and having grown up in foster care, his boyfriend Logan is the only
shining light in his world, along with Phil’s two foster sisters, Ella and
Estelle. But when Estelle goes off to a fancy new boarding school, suddenly
everything changes. His life won’t always be dark and lonely, but it will no
longer be simple, either. When the Sutherland’s enter his life, Phil has to
question what secrets he’s willing to keep and where the word ‘magical’ fits
into his normal, human life.
The second offering is a short read about Estelle's foster brother. It did not have the magical charm of the first book. It is a book about secrets. The writing is clear and comforting. It flows well at a quick pace. Phil was introduce in the first book as a bad boy with a heart of gold.
In this offering he has fallen in love with another boy who comes from an unhappy and abusive home. can the two new, magical, adults in their lives make the future a better place and time?
