"Little girls, this seems to say,
Never stop upon your way.
Never trust a stranger-friend;
No one knows how it will end.
As you're pretty, so be wise;
Wolves may lurk in every guise.
Handsome they may be, and kind,
Gay, or charming never mind!
Now, as then, 'tis simple truth-
Sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!"
•Charles Perrault, Little Red Riding Hood
Larkin Grace has never been normal. It was just a fact of life. Her hair was red, her eyes were green, and she occasionally grew a tail. No big deal.
During the summer before her freshman year of college, everything changes when the high school quarterback asks her on a date. Unfortunately, her first date ends up being less than stellar, but it's the starting point for the biggest change in her life. Enter: a pack of hot werewolves whose goal in life appears to be making Larkin blush.
You thought shifting skins was hard? Clearly, you've never tried dating a pack of wolves.
After barely surviving an attempt on her life, alchemy student Ariel investigates her new supernatural roommates as possible suspects. Nothing can prepare her for the secrets she is about to uncover about her own family-or her infuriating demon roommate's constant attempts to get under her skin.
Season 1 of The Wicked Series
***
Ariel is no stranger to bad luck. Life has been an uphill battle with an estranged father and a stepbrother who hates her. Studying alchemy feels like a dream come true, at least until Ariel suspects one of her new supernatural roommates might be trying to kill her. Refusing to be an easy target, she uses her alchemy skills to protect herself and dives headfirst into her own investigation.
When unsettling truths about Ariel's family and the world she lives in come to light, she realizes that those she suspects most might be her best allies. None of her newfound friends are quite what they seem-especially Haze. A demon of sloth should not be this hard to avoid, yet Haze defies all expectations, making it increasingly difficult for Ariel to deny the growing attraction between them. Still, the closer Ariel gets to finding out the truth, the more she fears her trust may have been misplaced.
