Everyone around me gets hurt. I hate the thought of leaving my friends alone, but the Winterwood Academy is no longer a safe haven for me. Everybody thinks that I’m dead and I want to keep it that way before the one who put me six feet under learns that I’m back from the dead. But before I have time to escape, the arrival of my father and the Witch Council brings a whole new set of troubles my way. Not only am I to discover that I have a twin sister, but someone I trusted has betrayed me. I have to get away from this cursed academy. An inexperienced witch like me wouldn’t last long in the real world. I’m glad Merrin found me a place to stay with a nice old lady and a seriously hot grandson -- Matthew. Stay low, resist the urge to tell someone I care that I’m alive, and don’t draw attention to myself. That’s what I should do. It shouldn’t be hard, but nothing in my life is ever easy. A crazy attraction for Matthew and bumping into an old friend and my former nemesis at a party are the least of my problems. Add an almost deadly werewolf attack, a sexy hunter with a short temper, and you have the perfect recipe for disaster. How am I supposed to get my life together when everything just keeps exploding in my face?

Winterwood Academy Book 3: Hunted

So last night I was sneaking out of the Academy, and tonight I’m sneaking into a gym? What the hell is wrong with me?


I decided not to voice my concern and instead took a deep breath before placing my foot in the crook of his fingers. The ballet pumps, that had been the only shoes of Zoe’s I could find, weren’t exactly the best for climbing but for once I didn’t feel all clumsy. Maybe it had something to do with Mathew’s strong grip on my foot as I gripped hold of the chains and he hoisted me up and over.


The moment my foot left his hands I felt way less steady, and I hovered at the top of the fence, gripping hold of the metal bar at the top as though my life depended on it.


Instinct caused me to close my eyes for a moment. Air, please guide me down safely.
