Alex Carter has life all figured out: pizza, video games, and avoiding anything remotely "weird." But when his parents leave for the summer, leaving him and his overly-curious golden retriever, Max, to their own devices, the most "normal" thing about Alex's life disappears. It starts with a questionable crystal (which, honestly, Alex should have just tossed in the trash) and suddenly they're sucked into a world of glowing dragons, mischievous demon squirrels, and bizarre portals.
From accidental dragon summoning to Max morphing into a ridiculously handsome teenage boy with dog ears, Alex's idea of a quiet summer is officially out the window. There's a cat who turns into a griffin, a strange girl with golden eyes and a scar that could definitely use a backstory, and enough inexplicable chaos to make Alex question if he's losing his mind-or maybe it's just the fever dream of a teenage boy who really, really misses his couch.
Every time Alex thinks he's grasping the slightest bit of normalcy, something even weirder happens-demon squirrels, exploding crystals, and oh yeah, wacky dimension-hopping. Can Alex survive this wild adventure, or will he embrace the madness and just roll with the punches (and the portals)?
Get ready for non-stop laughs, heart-stopping chaos, and one seriously confused dog who really didn't sign up for this in this hilarious, unpredictable adventure where reality isn't just stretched-it's shredded into tiny pieces and tossed into another dimension.
My body trembled, but not from the cold. "You frighten me."
His brow twitched, eyes darting around the features of my face. "Frighten, or excite?" His gaze dropped to my mouth. "Which is it, Miss Young?"

Once upon a time in a dying village, there lived a girl who dreamed of a life free of fear and death. She yearned for a world not ruled by the darkness and the demons awaiting her inside it...
For nearly eighteen years, Adaira Young has been able to hide from the monsters that plague her small village. Every year in Kinnot, a name must be drawn to be offered to the beasts from the mountains. Once they are sacrificed and disappear through the gates, they are never seen again. When Adaira's world comes crashing down around her and she finds herself on the outside of those very walls, Adaira comes face to face with the monster she's been cowering from all her life:
A terrifying man named Beast.
Whisked away to his palace in the icy mountains, Adaira struggles to adjust to her new life and fight the dangerous feelings of attraction growing inside her. But as the days grow colder and their relationship grows stronger, a deadly secret from Beast's past threatens to shatter everything.
To live, he needs the one thing Adaira has to die for in order to love her: her heart.
