Wolff, Tracy

In this sequel to "Crave," Grace wakes up one day after saving her vampire boyfriend Jaxon Vega from an attack by his brother Hudson at Katmere Academy, and learns she has been a stone gargoyle for the last four months. As she tries to put her life back together, she comes to the realization that her mind and body are being controlled--by Hudson. He claims there are secrets Grace doesn't know, and that she must trust him. It turns out that the Vampire Court is trying to get to Grace to protect the Circle, and for Grace to survive--along with everyone else--a great sacrifice must be made.

After her parents die, Grace's uncle brings her to the elite Alaskan boarding school where he is headmaster. There she rooms with her cousin and learns that the school is filled with werewolves, dragons, witches, and vampires. Grace meets Jaxon Vega, a vampire with deadly secrets, and the closer she gets to him, the more she realizes that she is being used as bait to wake the power in Jaxon, a power that could kill them all.

"Calder Academy is where the rogue paranormals go. The ones who break the rules or lose control. And when that happens for vamps, werewolves, witches, and dark fae? It gets pretty freaking scary. Clementine should know. Because she's trapped there. [Her mom] just happens to run Calder Academy, which paints a giant target on her back. The way she makes it through the dark halls is by steering clear of the things--and kids--who go bump in the night. Especially Jude Abernathy-Lee. But when a freak storm hits their isolated island, Clementine is stuck without a backup plan. The power is gone. The lights are out. And their worst nightmares are suddenly real--and out for blood. Now the only way to survive is to align herself with one evil to avoid the other. And the only thing worse than the idea of getting close to Jude? Secretly loving every minute of it"--Adapted from publisher description.

"It's been over three months since my friends and I took down Cyrus. Three months where my biggest fear was what paper was due next... But I should have known it was too good to last. Now everything is falling apart. The Vampire Court has no king, the Dragon Court has no heart, and the Gargoyle Court has me--a teenager in way over her head. And it's the worst possible timing, because a threat is brewing just as the Circle is collapsing. I have no choice but to return to the Shadow Realm and face the terrifying queen who nearly ended us...and make a deal with her to save Mekhi. But this time, I'm bringing my powerful friends with me--and Hudson. Except something is wrong with him, too. He's keeping a secret--even from me. All I know is that everyone's life hangs in the balance. And it's my fault--because I still owe the Crone a favor...and now she's come to collect."--Provided by publisher.

"My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me"--Amazon.

Chronicles the four missing months that Grace lost her memories after becoming a gargoyle--and how the infuriating Hudson Vega came back into her life.

"No one survived the last battle unscathed. Flint is angry at the world, Jaxon is turning into something I don't recognize, and Hudson has put up a wall I'm not sure I'll ever break through. Now war is coming, and we're not ready. We're going to need an army to have any hope of winning. But first, there are questions about my ancestors that need answers. Answers that might just reveal who the real monster is among us. And that's saying something in a world filled with bloodthirsty vampires, immortal gargoyles, and an ancient battle between two gods. There's no guarantee that anyone will be left standing when the dust settles, but if we want to save this world, I have no choice. I'll have to embrace every part of me...even the parts I fear the most"--Publisher provided.

Grace may have reached her breaking point. As if trying to graduate from a school of supernaturals isn't stressful enough, her relationship status has gone from complicated to a straight-up dumpster fire. And the Bloodletter has decided a drop a bomb of epic proportions. Then again, when has anything at Katmere Academy not been intense? And the hits just keep coming. Jaxon has turned colder than an Alaskan winter. The Circle is splintered over Grace's upcoming coronation. As if things couldn't get worse, now there's an arrest warrant for Hudson's and Grace's supposed crimes, which apparently means a lifetime prison sentence with a deadly, unbreakable curse. Choices will have to be made, and Grace fears not everyone will survive.

"Returning to Katmere Academy, the Circle is caught in a power play and the Vampire Court fights for leverage while Hudson and Jaxon vie to make themselves the most important person to Grace -- one with secrets that appeal to her mind and the other with the love that has captured her heart. Meanwhile they all face an unspeakable evil and possibly the ultimate sacrifice"--OCLC.
