A Midwinter Nightmare

High school romance can be hell. After years of enduring her mother's abuse, Cari has finally gotten what she's always wanted: a normal life. On hiatus from the Edensgate monster patrol, she's back in school and living with guardians who care about her. There's just one problem-she's bored out of her mind. And now that she's grounded for fighting (not her fault!), she's going to miss out on the one interesting that's happened all month: The Midwinter Dream Valentine's Dance. What's more, Rex is going-and he's got a date. Can it get any worse? Of course it can. But the horrors that arise on that magical night will have to be faced without her. Because Cari senses something, a dark presence lurking just out of sight. And it's getting closer... A Midwinter Nightmare is the fifth book in the Dead Mall novella series, where saving the world from the forces of evil is all in a night's work.
