Just when I thought that going to a new school could be a fresh start for me, I realise I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only has my almost-boyfriend dubbed me “The Queen of Freaks,” but it turns out I’m way more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined. That would be all well and good if everything was as it should have been at the Winterwood Academy but what most people don’t know is that there’s danger inside the walls of the Academy far worse than anything we might face outside the Wardings. Students are dying, and other than my super hot sidekick, I’m the only one who knows that there is a serial killer on the loose. When my newfound powers attract the attention of one of the most dangerous witches the Winterwood Academy has ever seen, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it out alive.

Winterwood Academy Book 2: Buried

Certain that I would be unwelcome if I went down to the river, I spent the rest of the day milling around the academy on my own.


I didn’t bother going to lunch or dinner in the dining hall because I was sure I wouldn’t be welcome there either. Instead, I made myself a couple of snacks in the dormitory kitchen and spent most of the time in my room, arranging and rearranging my things until I was completely happy with where I had placed everything.


By the time evening came around, there was no sign of Zoe or the other girls. That was until Zoe barged into the bedroom and threw herself down on her bed, turning her back on me to make it abundantly clear that she had no interest in talking to me.


I made a show of getting into my pyjamas and climbed into my own bed with a deep sigh.


Of course, I wasn’t going to sleep yet. I still had to meet Booth. But Zoe was clearly still pissed at me, and I didn’t want to go raising her suspicions.
