During her second year at Cursed Academy, Giselle has three goals: 1.) Stop her friends from turning into monsters. 2.) Make sure she doesn't turn dark. 3.) Get out of Cursed Academy. When Giselle returns for her second year at Cursed Academy, it doesn't take long for things to go south. Sure, she's on the verge of slowing down her friends' transformations into monsters, as well as slowing down her own horrific changes. But that doesn't matter when her best friends, Maria and Mikey, take a curse meant for her--a curse that could ruin their lives.

A young woman with a need to protect. A young man drawn to her acceptance. A rival pack threatening to destroy all they love. Loner, misfit, wild. Everything about Cayden should push me away. Deep down, I know the explanation for his graceful walk, his ability to fight off guys twice his size, and his amazing hearing. Especially when the wolves appear in the woods around town and a beautiful male shares Cayden's dark hair, red highlights, and his wild, hazel eyes. I should fear him, but he draws me in. Until Cayden, no one else around me understood what it's like to be radically different.

Enter a world where it's Halloween every day and where the monsters are normal, and the normal are monsters... I'm Ali Welson, and I'm the most normal, goody-two-shoes girl you'll meet. It's how I survive a strict home, far from the mysterious Dark Corruption that converts people into B-movie monsters on contact. But after a close call, Monstreuse, the monster academy, sends an obnoxious sorcerer to claim an unwilling new student--me. Only it's a mistake, I swear. I never touched the Corruption, as much as Byron insists otherwise. But when my family disowns me, I have no choice but to go.

I thought our enemies on the outside were going to leave us alone. Boy, was I wrong. Byron, my boyfriend, has been severed from his magic, and the totalitarian, monster-hating Society is closing in on us. They seek to steal my abilities, a prospect that could spell our doom. If they succeed, there will be no one left to protect the world from their tyranny. And I can't sit aside and let the Society work their evil plans. Byron's magic and sanity hang in the balance, as well as my life and the lives of everyone I care about.

As I start my second year at the monster academy, my biggest danger lies within… Navigating my second year at the academy will be complicated, all thanks to the growing darkness inside me. I’ll do anything to avoid going dark, and my best chance of that is to cure monsters of their conditions.

Eine Winteridylle mit dunklen Schatten … Blythe und Aris sehnen sich nach ruhigen Feiertagen in ihrem Zuhause, dem mysteriösen Herrenhaus Wisteria Gardens, doch eine unheimliche Präsenz macht ihnen einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Rastlose Geister flüstern durch die alten Mauern, und ihre...

Figures Giselle would turn out to be the child of literal Chaos. As a budding immortal who could mold into anything, staying in Cursed Academy doesn't bode well. She'll probably end up a goddess of disaster or tripping, according to her new boyfriend, Ronin. But transferring to Olympian with Ronin means breaking an oath made by the gods on the River Styx--and the gods won't he happy. So long as Giselle bears Prometheus's mark, she stays at his school. Worse, her arch nemesis, Wendy, is forming her own secret society to banish her to the Underworld.

As I approach my first-year anniversary in Monstreuse, I'm wishing that my fellow students were the only danger...But when you're secretly the reason everyone in the monster reserve is no longer normal, and you can't help it, life is more complicated. I still don't know our admin's plans for me, and worse, the Society wants revenge on me. Rumblings from the normal world tell us we could all be in grave danger soon.

My time at Monster Academy continues to get more dangerous...I've survived the first semester in Monstreuse. But my life continues to tangle, just like my budding relationship with Byron, my obnoxious, sorcerer tutor. It turns out my strange powers are tied to the force turning my fellow students into monsters, and that's not awkward at all. And it definitely doesn't put a target on my back.
