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

“I’ll tell all of the lectures that you’re not feeling well,” Booth assured me. “You just rest, and I’ll let Zoe know to come and check on you during next break.”


Why is he being so kind to me? I thought even as I revelled in the way that he was stroking my cheek. The warmth of his fingertips against my skin made me feel better, even if it was only for a moment.


“You don’t need to do that,” I sighed even as I felt my eyelids growing heavy.


“Someone has to check up on you, and if I keep coming back here, people might get the wrong idea,” Booth pointed out, but my eyelids were already closing.


I was almost sure I felt his lips press against my forehead as he added, “You’ll feel better after a good rest.”


Booth was wrong. I didn’t feel better after I’d rested. In fact, I felt worse than ever before. My head was pounding so hard that I could barely open my eyes, and my entire body felt as though it was made of lead.
