April wants to live a normal life. She wants to study law, own several cats and drive an Audi. What she never wanted was to lure her boyfriend to his death.
Told for the first time that she's inherited her mother's siren abilities, she's forced to travel out to the reclusive Nightwood Academy to learn to control her abilities, even as she struggles to overcome the guilt of her lover's death. Surrounded by vampires, witches and a devilishly handsome pack of werewolves, April needs to find friends in dark places if she hopes to survive.
But the worst still has yet to come.
As April begins to receive anonymous threats about the murder of her ex, her new-found relationships become tested.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.

It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
