(Dark Court Fae Book 1)
Dessa doesn't believe in the faeries that her aunt raised her to be afraid of. But her nightmares are filled with them, and when she's awake, she's still plagued by a phobia of faeries, despite her disbelief in their existence. She thinks that her aunt's dark faery tales and ominous warnings warped her when she was young, and now she is left with fears that aren't rational or sane. Her aunt had sheltered her too much - she had been so overprotective that she'd kept Dessa from experiencing a normal life. When her aunt passes away, leaving Dessa with her mountainous debt, with no practical experience on how to take care of herself, and worst of all, the fear that her aunt drilled into her head that faeries were a very real danger - she's left with no other option than to venture out into the dangerous world if she wants to survive. However, Dessa soon finds that there might have been more truth to her crazy aunt's rambling warnings than she wanted to believe.All Rights Reserved

Corrie, Edie, and Dawn think they know what to expect from their supernatural school, but even they are not always prepared for what happens when Roe's visions come to light. This time, it's Annie who is most affected as something disturbs her sleep, waking her at all hours of the night and exhausting her. At the same time, she must reckon with seeing the last person she would ever expect-or want-to see at the front of her magic classroom... as well as seeking the courage to open her heart. Her friends want to rescue her, as they did once before, but some traps are not made to be escaped.

But when the shadows from her dreams start creeping into the waking world, she realizes she's not just dreaming. She's being hunted.
