I’m so excited to be headed to the Academy of Enchantment, where I’ll be a transfer student for the following year. Except I never make it. When a shadow demon boards my train, I’m overcome by his power and I blackout. And when I wake up? I’m in a place called Dread. And, yes, Dread is as wonderful as the name implies. Awaiting my arrival at the train station is a guy named Harlow. He’s an incubus—a demon, and with his leather jacket, his bad-boy attitude and the fact that he can't keep his hands off me, I know he's trouble. Not only that, but Harlow has instructions to deliver me to my host family. And that means I’ve been expected in Dread. But how and why? That’s the mystery I need to figure out. And pronto. But, first, I have to survive the evening at Castle Raven Night, and I have to survive my host family, Count Jean-Claude Von Zarovich… the third. Yeah, the count might be the hottest guy I’ve ever seen in my life, but he’s also a vampire, and last I checked, vampires eat you. Then there’s Riven. Riven is the headmaster of Ever Dark Academy, and he’s the reason I’m here. And, yes, he’s just as freaking hot as Jean-Claude and Harlow. Only I’ve got a bone to pick with Riven because he totally hijacked my plans. And yet, there’s something about Riven’s soulful eyes, Jean-Claude’s pain, and Harlow’s need that makes me think maybe a quick layover in Dread wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world…
