"Every quarter century, on one night during an eclipse, a beast comes out from the forest to claim his bride. This is called The Taking. He roams door to door searching for the woman whose entire essence calls to him. He will kill, mutilate and destroy everything in his path until he finds his bride. In the past, the townsmen have tried to hunt the creature and kill him, but he is not alone in the woods. He has servants among the shadows to make sure his task is completed. Once he finds her, he changes into a handsome young man and carries her back to the forest where she is never seen by a single human soul ever again."

Celeste believes this so-called "legend" is just some scary fairytale her grandmother made up to scare her.

But was she ever wrong when a pair of moonlit eyes stared straight at her through her bedroom window and entered her room.

Next thing she knew, she was being carried out the house and into the woods by a half-naked man who called her his.

 Who would have thought? Grandma wasn't crazy after all.

Young Adult novel. Paranormal/Comedy-Romance @2014
