"This is a really great start to this series, and I am instantly intrigued as to each of the individual characters, and where this story could possibly lead...." Tracy, Goodreads

There is an evil awakening.
At the Lost Souls academy, students aren’t your typical everyday alumni.
Rejects from clans, packs, and covens walk these halls, but there’s something more sinister haunting the academy.
A resident ghost has new student, Zarya, on the fight to banish it. Will her actions cause more enemies at her new school than friends?
‘I’m coming for you.’
A message from beyond has Zarya fearful. Her skills are underdeveloped, but as a ghost hunter, she must stand and fight this new evil.
Can Zarya grow to be the ghost hunter she’s destined to be or will forces overpower her and bring chaos and destruction to the Lost Souls academy?
EXCERPT
Confused, Zarya looked
around. Leaves rustled on the surrounding trees in a chaotic movement, so she
couldn’t see the direction of the source. The park seemed to darken in the afternoon
light. Time slowed. Her senses sharpened as she engaged both her ghosthunting
and witching abilities.
Another
chilled rush of wind wrapped around her. Every muscle in her body fired on
alert, ready to contract so she could spring into action. The problem was with
nothing obviously there, she couldn’t fight back, let alone defend herself.
Adrenaline
coursed through her body. Zarya ached to release the pent-up energy instead of
being unable to do anything.
Snapping
her head to the left, then the right, she scanned her surroundings, desperate
to detect any anomaly. Her skin prickled as she realized she was the only
person in sight. Zarya realized with a panic she was way too vulnerable there.
That this might be some sort of trap, even though she was certain ghosts
weren’t capable of that type of thing. The ghost was here somewhere, it had to
be. It was the only logical reason why she saw nothing.
There
was no vibe that this was a spell, so it had to be a ghost.
“Show
yourself.”
Was that laughter in the air?
She
glanced to the left where she thought the sound might’ve come from.
Nothing.
What the hell is happening?
“Chicken,”
Zarya yelled out, struggling to keep her nerve. She summoned her magic, ready
to block anything that might attack her, but again she was too slow.
A
coldness wrapped around her neck. She gasped. Air pushed from her lungs. Unable
to refill, she wheezed hard. Cursing herself for being so slow to react, she
knew better than to have stayed exposed as she had on the ground.
Why didn’t I get up and run?
She
knew damn well running wasn’t her thing. She was a fighter through and through,
and her style was to stay and fight.
