Seventeen-year-old Haylee Hutchins is a beauty influencer who is about to reach a million online followers. Then, life as she knows it ends. After a violent attack on her family, she transforms into the world's most hated creature. It's hard to care when she's become dead inside and out.
Then host of her favorite reality competition, Spellcaster, insists she audition for the show's first creature season. This season’s prize is power beyond anyone’s imagination. It is the kind of reward that contestants and their sponsors would kill to possess.
Let the other spellcasters and judges underestimate her. They can gossip all they want about the hotshot wizard and the alpha werewolf behaving as though she's another prize to be won. And if her celebrity vampire coach can't handle a bold influencer with abilities, then he can suck it. She preferred watching him from the other side of the screen. He's about to discover that Haylee Hutchins is a force to be reckoned with. The entire world will.
Someone thought they could silence Haylee's family for good. Instead, they created a monster. She's still here, and she is much harder to kill.
