Sage just wants to have fun. Especially since the past several months have been so dramatic. And the nightmares she’s been having… she is going to ignore them. It’s probably just a result of all the drama anyway… right?

And when Angus Reed starts paying a lot more attention to her, she’s sure her problems are only going to get worse.

Is everyone and everything out to get her? That’s hard to say, and only one thing is for sure; stepping outside her comfort zone is going to take her somewhere she never expected.
But is it worth the risk?

With a mother who’s always away on an extended honeymoon, Elise Oberon has spent the last year, after graduation, working and saving up so she can afford on-campus accommodation. And now, she’s ready. Especially since the lock on her bedroom window is broken… and the boy next door seems more irritating by the minute… and the constant news reports about the city’s resident serial killer, The Leviathan’s growing number of victims… Yeah, Elise is ready to move out.
But when she gets to Cathedral University there’s been a glitch in the system. A glitch that plunges Elise into a series of events she was not prepared for. She’d thought uni life would be different, that after high school, people grew up, became mature. Stopped being silly and childish.
Elise was dead wrong.
At Cathedral U, the workload is different, but the drama stays the same. Some people were just born petty, vindictive, malicious. Evil. And they don’t intend to change. And now, Elise has a whole new problem she’s never had to face before – a boyfriend who might be out of her league.
Not to mention the other, weirder stuff going on at the cathedral… down in the catacombs…
Click, click, click…
Elise missed the first couple of weeks when she enrolled late, so she’s got some serious catching up to do. Will she get through her first term in one piece?

Zak Graham is usually pretty good at manipulating life so that everything works out in his favour. Sure, his parents kicked him out when he dropped out of Cathedral U. But thanks to his aunt, he’s been managing one of the city’s most popular nightclubs. The Beefsteak.
It was the perfect set up. And dealing with stupid employees was a small price to pay for the partying, the girls, and being able to wake up whenever he wanted…
Until those employees started dying.
But Zak doesn’t want to think about that.
He doesn’t want to think about the dead girls. And he especially doesn’t want to think about the terrible nightmares he’s been having. Or the thing that’s been lurking under his bed…
Or how shaky he’s starting to feel from all the stress.
When his world begins to fall down around him, however, Zak has to admit that the solution he came up with probably wasn’t the way a sane person would have handled it. And now he’s trapped in something more sinister than even the depths of his shadowy mind could conjure.
