Three’s a crowd. At least that’s what I’ve heard, and I’ve definitely come to learn that it’s true. My best friend’s new girlfriend is a complete pain in the ass, and if it wasn’t for me being on my last warning at Gilford High, I’d definitely do something about it. The consequences of my doing so aren’t just your usual slap on the wrist kind of punishments. When strange things begin to happen, and my eyes start to freaking GLOW, I’m whisked away to ... you guessed it ... the Winterwood Academy for the ‘Gifted.’ I don’t feel very gifted. In fact, I feel like the biggest freak in an entire school of freaks. As the hottest guy at the Academy would say, “I’m the Queen of Freaks,” but coming from him, it’s actually kind of sweet. Oh, and did I forget to mention that not only am I having strange encounters with a Goddamn Goddess, I’m also hearing voices in my head, and there’s a book in the Academy library that’s actually TALKING to me! They say that only a true Winterwood Witch is capable of opening that book, so why the hell does it want anything to do with me?

Winterwood Academy Book 1: Gifted

“I think Celestria is ready for you,”Zoe whispered under her breath,and my heart skipped yet another beat.


Could Celestria really have known that we were standing out here?


As if in reply to my question,a voice came from inside the room,“Please enter,Brianna.”


I glanced at Zoe,who gave me an encouraging smile and gestured for me to go in.


The moment I stepped into the office,the door clicked closed behind me once more,leaving no room for my companion to come in with me.


Alone,I felt my nerves hitching up.Celestria was once more sat behind her desk,although this time,she had a pen in her hand as though she had been marking papers or something.


“What can I help you with,Brianna?”she asked when I simply stood by the door with a plain expression on my stupid face.
