Preventing a murder is hard—especially when all the suspects are dead.A 26 year old stage magician with a tragic past is reunited with childhood friends in a haunted estate on the eve of a wedding.

Wedgewood High
Young Adult
In a world where Monsters are shoved to the fringes of society, while Hunters are held on a pedestal regardless of their deeds, sixteen year old Jackolyn Terne finds herself on the edge of a schism she knows nothing about.
Jackie thought her life had turned upside down when her mother married the sleazy mayor of their quiet suburban town—but that was only the beginning. After a mishap at a mayoral award ceremony, Jackie is sent to a school for monsters. There she learns about unusual subjects, forges unlikely bonds, and discovers a dead body under the school.
As Jackie uncovers layers of secrets and corruption, she finds herself tangled in a sinister plot to stir up political upheaval and unleash a danger far worse than any monster in Wedgwood.
