When Kate, a recovering addict, meets handsome, bad-boy Aiden, her resolve to stay sober lasts only until he tempts her with the Spellbinding: an intoxicating magic. But Aiden's ex-best-friend, Chase, won't stop warning Kate that Aiden is a Shade--a dangerous sorcerer. 

When Kate naively agrees to initiate into the Shades, and is compelled to do evil to those she loves, it's Chase who saves her life, and Aiden who threatens it--but still swears his love for her.

Trapped in an ancient conflict between light and dark power, and good and evil men, will Kate give in to the dark allure of Aiden and his power despite the cost? Or will she choose the strong but gentle Chase, turning them both into targets for every dark magician in the modern world?

They Both Love Me, But One is a Devil

Three tense and tempting weeks later, the night of the dance is one of those incredible winter evenings when the sun it out, the air is warm, but the breeze is cold enough to make you want to stay close to others.

I've spent the entire day winding tighter and tighter. I'm waiting, even though I don't know what I'm waiting for. And I'm expecting the worst. Something is coming. The question is, what?

Chase stuck close all day at school yesterday, and I could tell he was worried too. But we didn't talk about it. Pretended we were dating and weren't watching how everyone reacted. Weren't waiting for the countdown to reach zero and for the Shades to rise out of nothing and devour us.

"Charming," I mutter to myself, realizing that, once again, instead of applying make-up, I'm staring at myself in the mirror and remembering this week from hell.

Beyond grunts or snippy sarcasm when she's forced, Amy hasn't spoken to me since the dress shopping.
