Monster Academy

Enter a world where supernatural beings are normal...I'm Ali Welson, the most normal, goody-two-shoes girl you'll meet. It's how I survive a strict home, far from the mysterious Dark Corruption that converts people into vampires, werewolves, goblins, witches, and other creatures of the night on contact.But after a close call, Monstreuse, the monster academy, sends an obnoxious sorcerer to claim an unwilling new student: me. It's a mistake, I swear! I never touched the dark force as much as Byron insists otherwise. But when my family disowns me, I have no choice but to go.Thrust into a new, forbidden world, I'm sure I won't survive my classes, my classmates, or my new rival. But even that pales in comparison to the biggest horror of all. I might be the least normal Monstreuse student in history, and my family is right to fear me.Why else would someone be trying to do me in?

My time at Monster Academy continues to get more dangerous...I've survived the first semester in Monstreuse. But my life continues to tangle, just like my budding relationship with Byron, my obnoxious, sorcerer tutor. It turns out my strange powers are tied to the force turning my fellow students into monsters, and that's not awkward at all. And it definitely doesn't put a target on my back.As Byron and I attempt to unravel the truth about me and help my new friends maintain their humanity, I learn I'm in the middle of plans to change the world--but not for the better--and my fate is closing in. I'll need Byron's help to avoid the worst, but can I reach the real guy that he's hiding behind that confident exterior?

As I approach my first-year anniversary in Monstreuse, I'm wishing that my fellow students were the only danger...But when you're secretly the reason everyone in the monster reserve is no longer normal, and you can't help it, life is more complicated. I still don't know our admin's plans for me, and worse, the Society wants revenge on me. Rumblings from the normal world tell us we could all be in grave danger soon.Me, Byron, and our group of friends--one of whom I infected by mistake--must figure out what's going on during our school's Halloween break. I just might have more potential than I thought, and it could be up to me to save everyone on the reserve. But to do so, I'll start down a dark path that I'm not sure I can come back from.

As I start my second year at the monster academy, my biggest danger lies within…Navigating my second year at the academy will be complicated, all thanks to the growing darkness inside me. I'll do anything to avoid going dark, and my best chance of that is to cure monsters of their conditions.The good news? I just might have the ability, however hard it is to access.But the bad news? To unlock it, we'll need the help of one staff member determined to mold me into a force of terror.And that might not even be the most terrifying part. Our enemies on the outside are preparing for something big, and if I don't slip into darkness before I face them again, they'll push me there for sure.

I thought our enemies on the outside were going to leave us alone. Boy, was I wrong.Byron, my boyfriend, has been severed from his magic, and the totalitarian, monster-hating Society is closing in on us. They seek to steal my abilities, a prospect that could spell our doom. If they succeed, there will be no one left to protect the world from their tyranny.And I can't sit aside and let the Society work their evil plans. Byron's magic and sanity hang in the balance, as well as my life and the lives of everyone I care about. It's up to us to uncover Society's plan and to stop it before it's too late.But we're about to uncover a plot that's even worse than anything we imagined, and it just might push me over the edge for good. Can I find the strength to do what's right?

Our enemies are always growing stronger, and their newest weapon just might end the monsters for good…I'm Ali Welson, now halfway through my schooling at the monster academy. I've made new friends, discovered a forbidden world, and fallen in love-all on a government-mandated monster reserve.And on the way, I've also learned how evil the Society of Family and Safety is. I thought they just wanted monsters to avoid normal people before, but now I know they'll do anything-anything-to destroy us in every way possible. And then no one will be safe from their control.Unfortunately, their new weapon could turn the tide in their favor. If we don't stop him, it's the beginning of the end. But if I give in to my inner darkness? Who knows what I'll do or who I'll hurt?Buckle up. It's going to be a crazy Halloween.

My own inner darkness is closing in, but to save everyone I love, I may need to embrace it.I'm Ali Welson, starting my third year at the monster academy. And that means starting my career path. Yikes.Instead of worrying about college entrance exams, I've been chosen to take over as the reserve's leader, meaning it will be my duty to protect everyone here and deal with our enemies on the outside. And did I mention that the Dark Corruption is salivating at that thought? Leading my new home will help it take me over for good, and then I'll be the scariest force in the world.Plus, I'm not cut out to lead.But with fate giving me no choice and our existence on the line, maybe I'll embrace the dark, breaking my promise to Byron. Because even his plan to help me could be dangerous...

I thought we had shown the world the truth about our enemies and that we might be safe. But I fear the battle that I dread is getting ever closer...After saving our teacher from an unfair trial and revealing Society's true evil to the world, I thought the Regulars would let us live in peace, and we could get back to minding our own business. But upon our return, Byron and I find chaos.The Society has been cutting off our supplies from the outer world. Without their blood shipments, vampires start starving, and now everyone else locks their doors at night. As desperate vampires go off-reserve to hunt, the terrified regular world won't have a choice but to accept the Society--and our destruction--as its savior.I thought that taming my power was enough. But that won't cut it anymore because it's the Society's end or ours, and it's up to me to choose.

With our fates looking increasingly grim, it's time to go on the offensive.The Society is turning the world against the monster reserves, even though we try to keep to ourselves, and the effects worsen daily. The terror is destroying our lives, along with my relationship with Byron. It's clear that the Society won't stop until we're all imprisoned or worse. Each time we fend off their attacks, the Society has some dirty trick up its sleeve.It's time to strike back before it's too late.And this time, I'm making sneaky, evil plans because playing nice isn't protecting us. We will use our enemies' own vile tactics against them, and if we have to act like monsters to stop them, so be it.It's going to be a Halloween that the Society will never forget.

After dealing a massive blow to the Society, we should celebrate. Byron and I could finally move ahead with our relationship.But once again, Sunny has found a way to come out on top, and she doesn't need her organization to crush us anymore. She just needed a connection to power more terrifying than the Dark Corruption to start her reign of terror, and she won't stop until she enslaves us and the ordinary people.Our one ray of hope? The monstrous entity that now holds more sway over me than ever. But the source of the Dark Corruption won't give me anything for free and always has tricks up its sleeve. Even with Byron at my side, enemies are everywhere, and the worst one might be within.
