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

By the time I had finished reading, I realised that my eyes were so filled with tears that a few droplets had fallen onto the page and were smudging the words all over the place.


I had so many questions and no idea where the hell to begin finding answers.


One thing I did know for sure. I had to listen to my mum. Not Nicola who had raised me my entire life but my mum who had taken her time to write this letter and who had obviously been in danger. The kind of danger that had forced her into leaving her child almost as soon as she was born.


Sensing the kind of raw, terrifying emotion that she must have been feeling when she had written the letter, I quickly shoved it back into the book and slammed the cover closed.


As if sensing my intentions, the lock snapped shut, and the ‘W’ stopped glowing.


Although my mind was spinning with questions, so much so that I had a major headache, I knew that I needed to get out of the library, and I had to take the book with me.
