"I must have hit my head a lot harder than I had anticipated, or maybe breathe too much smoke because this is definitely nut-case crazy. Or a very creepy dream that feels way too real for my own good. I can pat my subconscious on the back for that one, but at the same time, it might be a little over the top." When Melody set fire to a museum she didn't expect to hit her head on the pavement and wake up in a nightmare. But she does. And this nightmare is not a nightmare apparently--it's a curse. A curse that traps her into paintings. And there's no escaping from the wrath of a possessed painting out to teach an art-hater a lesson.

Lexi Grayson is a normal teenager, as normal as she can be with her unobserving skills and her overthinking mind. But she might need the overthinking if she wants to unravel the smirking mystery that is Blake Eaton.

Grace Faith is nobody. The only person she talks to is her best friend Lily and sometimes even this one guy named Dean. Her brother had mainly derived all the high school's attention on himself and nobody ever pays attention to her. She's a very weak she-wolf and lacks the confidence in everything she does. Ryder Devereux was the complete opposite. He's the typical bad-boy you see in high school and is also the next alpha king. His father sent him off from school to school to find his mate, but Ryder only took that opportunity to get into even more drugs and girl's pants. They were both different but both very similar as well. They both have their own insecurities and they push everybody away. So what would happen when fate puts these two very different wolves together? Would they forget their differences and learn to love each other? Would they speak up and fight through their struggle together? Or would everything fall apart because of Grace's lack of confidence and Ryder's past?
