About

One chronically ill girl.

Fae who feed on pain.

Being a snack just got a whole new meaning.
Sixteen-year-old Sedona "Seda" Gerard has one goal: stay in school and on track for her future. But chronic heart issues and pain make it feel like she's getting rotisserie chicken roasted from the inside out. School administrators are trying to force her into the hospital-homebound program because of all her absences, and her doctors are stumped, unable to diagnose what's wrong.
Then, right as she's made a plan to outfox the administrators and avoid being sent home, fae monsters masquerading as humans-beings who feed on pain-hunt her down at school. Someone told the monsters about her. They crave her chronic pain-and worse, they want her trapped at home too, helpless, so they can feed without anyone noticing just like they did with the last chronically ill girl.
Nikolai Shaw is probably human and definitely Seda's only hope for protecting herself as the fae close in. Too bad he's prickly as a bundle of IV needles, with a smile that does funny things to whatever is wrong with her heart. But he knows about a weapon that can destroy the monsters for good. While he has a secret agenda of his own, he's willing to help Seda get it, but they have to hurry-before the fae make a meal out of Seda and erase her from existence forever.
Teen Wolf meets Legendborn in this heart-pounding, romantic, and bitingly funny YA contemporary fantasy debut featuring a chronically ill girl, the fae who want to turn her into a meal, and the secretive but annoyingly cute boy she needs to help her stop them. Perfect for fans of Holly Black. Content Notice
