A thrilling combination of Nancy Drew and the Vampire Academy. Seventeen-year-old Everly Hart became a “griever” the day she witnessed a tragic death. Imbued with a second sight, she can now see what others cannot—supernatural creatures called grimms. Then she receives an invitation from the Grimm Society to attend Gravemark, an exclusive school where grievers are trained to track and reap grimms. Everly thought navigating high school and dating was tough, but now her school assignments can kill her. As victims pile up, Everly must put her investigative skills to the test and hunt the latest grimm serial killer, proving that not all princes are charming, and not all fairy tales have happy endings. Can Everly solve the case, or will she be the latest griever to become grimm bait?

Everly Hart, a talented griever and amateur detective, is sent away to Echo Bay in the aftermath of a high-profile case. As she arrives in the small coastal town, she quickly realizes that the place is not as idyllic as it seems. The tide brings danger and death every seven years, and the locals whisper about a pirate’s cursed treasure buried somewhere on the coast. Is it a curse or a grimm creature behind the deaths? As Everly delves deeper into the mystery, she finds herself constantly at odds with her longtime crush, Hunter Abernathy. Despite her oath to never date her friend’s brother, Everly cannot help but feel drawn to him. As the death toll grows and the stakes get higher, Everly must navigate the treacherous waters of the case and her complicated feelings. Will she solve the mystery and resist the temptation of forbidden love?

When Everly Hart’s best friend Holland disappears, all signs point to an online game orchestrated by the enigmatic Mad Hacker, a grimm who preys on unsuspecting Gravemark students. He lures them into his perilous games, where victory promises rewards but defeat could lead to a descent into madness. Everly is torn between her complicated relationship with Hunter and her growing feelings for half-werewolf Ian. Both men are dangerous distractions as she tracks down the latest killer grimm plaguing their town. With her friend’s life on the line, Everly is forced to navigate the treacherous depths of the dark web and engage in the Mad Hacker’s deadly games. The clock is ticking, and if Everly can’t solve both mysteries soon, someone she loves could end up either mad or dead.
