Problems are like hydra heads these days—the moment I solve one, three more seem to spring up in its place. All I want to do is make it to graduation and spend unfettered time with my hot nephilim boyfriend, but life has other plans. When a town in the mortal realm is laid to waste, it's a race against the clock to figure out who's responsible and why. With every step I take, more secrets are revealed and I discover I'm a pawn in a game I didn't even know I was playing. If I hope to survive, I'll need the support of my friends now more than ever.

Der sarkastische Rabe Schattenschwinge, Tom der geheimnisvolle neue Freund der Gruppe, die immer noch an sich zweifelnde Magierin Rose und ihre göttliche Katze. Gemeinsam begeben sie sich auf die Suche nach den anderen, die wie sie auf einer rätselhaften Liste stehen. Während sie zumindest einen groben Plan haben, wie sie in den Grenzlanden weitersuchen, wissen sie weder, wer ihnen in der wachen Welt helfen könnte, noch wie sie mit ihren eigenen Problemen zurechtkommen sollen.

Zwar ist das Verlorene Kind zurück und die Märchenwaldbewohner sind keine Zombies mehr, doch alle anderen Katastrophen konnten größtenteils nicht zufriedenstellend gelöst werden. Also macht sich Red auf, um eine List gegen Aladin ins Rollen zu bringen, während der Rest der Schneewittchen-Gang einen Plan entwickelt, der auch die Sieben Zwerge miteinbezieht.

There’s no one better than the boy next door. At least not according to Aurora Campbell, fourteen, who has been in love with Tobias May since their very first sandbox kiss. The problem is, he’s in love with her older sister, Merrilee. And Merri is already dating one of his best friends.

Boys are so much better in books. At least according to Merrilee Campbell, 15, who thinks real-life chivalry is dead and there’d be nothing more romantic than having a guy woo her like the heroes in classic stories. Then she, her best friend, Eliza, and her younger sister, Rory, transfer to Reginald R. Hero Prep—where all the boys look like they've stepped off the pages of a romance novel. Merri can hardly walk across the quad without running into someone who reminds her of Romeo.

But from the moment he meets Nia, a talented, troubled young woman, Alex's heart opens up in ways that are terrifying and exhilarating. As Alex allows himself to feel for the first time, he also helps Nia see a light amid her own darkness.

High school is supposed to be about studying, socializing, and marching-band practice. Not fighting vampires. Then one night flipped my world inside out-now, my life sucks. But it isn't all bad. I'm at a slayer academy, learning things like the real origin of vamps and how to make serious weapons out of thin air. Every last one of them will pay for what they did. I'm doing great. Until I come face-to-face with the actual vampire prince.

As a warrior-in-training at Mythos Academy, I've battled the Reapers of Chaos before—and survived. But this time I have a Bad, Bad Feeling it's going to be a fight to the death. . .most likely mine. Yeah, I've got my psychometry magic, my talking sword, Vic, and even the most dangerous Spartan on campus—Logan Quinn—at my side. But I'm still no match for Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos. I may be Nike's Champion, but at heart, I'm still just Gwen Frost, that weird Oracle girl everyone at school loves to gossip about.

My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy, a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids. And now there’s also Loki, the evil god I helped set free against my will. On the bright side, I finally got a date with Logan Quinn, the hottest—and deadliest—Spartan at Mythos. But I should have known it was destined to end in disaster.
