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 will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening,” Merrin promised.


Although I was sure, she had a great deal of talent in the healing department as the head of the infirmary, a clawing in my gut told me that there was really nothing she could do for me.


“Let me get you a towel,” Merrin suggested, and she was up on her feet before I could protest.


“Please don’t leave me alone,” I whimpered as she moved towards the door.


The fear inside me urged me to yell for my friends, but the last thing I wanted was for them to see me like this.


Merrin stopped at a cupboard beside the door and pulled a thick, Egyptian cotton towel from it before returning to me.


As she handed it to me, she smiled softly, with tears in her eyes. “I’m not going anywhere.”


Her words were a promise, and yet I couldn’t help but think: where am I going?


Handing me the towel, Merrin returned to the seat beside me as I pressed the soft material to my face.
