Shadow Hills Academy: Relentless

A magical prince wants to date me, but there's one problem. This prince has claws. Everyone at Shadow Hills Academy desires the dark and powerful Jarron Blackthorn. But I'm the only one who has seen the terrifying beast beneath his magical façade. When my sister is murdered, and the case mysteriously dropped, I know where to begin my own investigation, Shadow Hills Academy, an elite school for supernaturals. Technically, I have zero magic, but just enough skills with potions to be accepted. Now I have the means to get close to the most likely culprits, powerful people like the demon prince Jarron. I was friends with Jarron years ago, before I saw his true form, but I'm still shocked when he reacts to news of my sister's death with a determination for vengeance. He has a plan to help me get access to Elite Hall, where the most powerful students reside, by pretending to date me. Dating a demon was NOT how I expected this year to start, but his plan will work. Hang on the arm of Jarron Blackthorn and everyone in school will be so desperate for my friendship they'll spill their secrets. I just have to make sure Jarron never learns he is my number one suspect. Keep your enemies close, right?

A soulless monster is hunting me. I might be a magicless human, but I won't be easy prey. Everyone at Shadow Hills Academy thinks they know who I am. A weak magicless human whose only claim to power was her relationship with the demon prince, Jarron. The girl who's so desperate for power, she'd be willing to kill her peers in a competition. A broken-hearted girl who wasn't good enough to keep the attention of a prince. They're wrong. I don't want their magic. All I care about is finding the demon that killed my sister. But that's difficult when I'm public enemy number one at school. Not to mention the ominous notes I keep receiving signed "the Jinn." Soon, I realize just how little I know about the games, and my sister's death. When Jarron returns, a shell of his former self, things get even more complicated. The dark beast inside of him is growing, clawing at him from the inside. There isn't a cure for his sickness in any of my books but that won't stop me from seeking out any possible solution. Even if it means consulting with the enemy. The jinn has a plan for her next set of games. She knows my every weakness. And this time, she will not stop until I'm one of the contestants.

They say the games have only just begun, but I'm here to end them once and for all. A civil war is brewing in the Under World, lead by the same villain who stole my sister from me. Jarron must return to his world for damage control, leaving me alone at Shadow Hills Academy again. This time, though, I'm protected like a precious gem, and trapped in Elite Hall until we're certain it's safe. I understand the caution but I'm not a delicate princess, and I'm not going to let someone else fight this battle for me. There's a way to end the Akrasia Games once and for all and free the Jinn from the Cosmic Council's control. I'm going to find a way to put them all in the grave for what they've done to my sister, even if it means seeking out unlikely allies and sneaking away from the school, and the planet, to get the information I need.
