This academy's secrets could get you killed – if the poltergeist doesn't get you first…
I thought going back to school would be fun. After all, we're adults now – no angst-ridden teen dramas here – and we're all law-enforcement recruits training to become State Troopers. Surely we'll work together like professionals, right? Wrong.
One of my fellow recruits has it in for me. If I didn't know better, I'd think I'd peed in his cereal or corrected his grammar in public, but I swear I've done nothing to deserve the daggers he's throwing my way. The problem is that he's not the only one giving me grief.
The academy has a unique resident, a poltergeist who loves nothing more than causing havoc. What starts as harmless pranks quickly turns sinister and I'm left wondering just how far the spirit will go.
The deeper I dig the more I realise this academy isn't just haunted, it's hiding something far worse than ghosts and ghouls. And if I don't uncover the truth soon, I might not make it to graduation…
Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family and a slow-burn romance.
