The final installment of the Shady Woods series...Grace and Riah head to Madison for their freshman year of college in the shadow of Grace's missing cousin, possibly dead uncle, and a hometown that's being overrun with wilds who don't care so much for the traditions set or the laws in place.Though they're nervous about zipping up their abnormal tendencies in order to blend in with the masses, they make new friends with Riah's roommate, the girl across the hall, and a lone wolf who grew up normal.As things heat up to a boiling point back home, Grace comes to realize their identities aren't as well kept under wraps as they'd hoped, not to mention their new friends have some concerning secrets of their own.When the truth is forced to the surface, Grace and Riah must chance being hunted in order to gather enough support to fight for the haven that Shady Woods was always meant to be.

A new life haunted by the old - or has Faryn stumbled into something worse than what she's running from? Faryn Miller wants to build a new life in a small town. She hopes that without the stress and pressure of her big-city job, she will figure out, of all the roles she's played in her thirty-some years, which one truly fits. Her aim at simplicity sounds like the perfect medicine until she meets Kai Allen, a store owner who's spent his life doing everything the hard way and never bending for anyone. Lucky for Kai, Faryn has no preconceived notions about what he's done and who he is-no idea of his troubled, violent history or notoriously short fuse. When Faryn finds cryptic notes in her apartment, followed by chilling threats, the two of them make a list of who might want to hurt her. With the anxiety of someone on their heels at every turn, Kai is no longer able to keep his frustration and rage hidden. As he explodes on everyone in his path and Faryn begins to learn his secrets, she can't help but wonder if the storm is closer than she thinks. Please note adult language is used.

A fun, easy read for reluctant readers, families, and lovers of the paranormal...Just as Grace accepts Shady Woods as home, the tide in town begins to turn. Maybe pacifism is more of a compromise than the werewolves and vampires are okay with any longer. Maybe the dendrites and sirens should make some more concessions, so the others can live how they were meant to live. After all, that is the whole point of Shady.As the debate heats up about whether everyone should lock themselves up once a month so the wolves can hunt in town, Grace becomes more aware of how dangerous it all is. Her anxiety over Riah not coming home in one piece doesn''t go over well with Christian, and the hunting in town doesn''t go over well with her parents.When the little wooden box Ethan found holds more than they bargained for, and Grace''s parents start talking about moving back normal, she has to decide if she''s strong enough to deal with the realities of her new life. And if so, she must also be willing to fight for it.

Isaiah, however, is the one with motive-enough money and he could get back to his ranch. Each holds a piece of the truth, but exposing the thief could damn them all. They must navigate through the lies they've told, choose between standing together or saving themselves, and decide if innocence is worth facing their ugliest secrets.
