Vampires, shifters, and ghouls, Oh My! With twists and turns that keep you up at night, literally, this book is a fun and fantastic read!” ~ Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ “I think this might be my favourite Sean Fletcher book yet, and I love all his books.Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction DON D’AMMASSAĮncyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction Copyright © 2006 by Don D’Ammassa All rights reserved. There’s only one thing to do: I’ve got a destiny to fulfill. A dangerous paranormal knows about my connection to the prophecy and wants me dead. Between attempting to control my unstable new magic, figuring out what the deal is with broody Jasper, and learning more about the Outcast’s prophecy, it becomes clear that I’m a target. Supposedly, an ancient prophecy says the thirteenth Outcast will be the one to break our curse. Instead of pearly gates, I wake up alive and ensnared in a witch’s curse with twelve paranormals known as the Outcasts-including the inhumanly beautiful, totally-hates-my-guts vampire Jasper. Take it from me, a knife through the heart isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But when a knife-wielding psycho attacks my best friend, of course I try to stop him.

In this paranormal world, her death is just the beginning… All I wanted for my seventeenth birthday was a fun night out.
