Being a sixteen year old Monster Hunter sucks. That’s what Heather Hawkins learns just days before her sixteenth birthday. After dealing with her best friend, Kristen’s, attempted suicide, the last thing Heather wants is any more drama. When the realistic dreams of Heather being haunted by a guy named Kadin begin, she learns the truth. She is a Monster Hunter, and on her birthday, she will undergo a change that will make her stronger, more powerful, and nearly invincible to Monsters. Along with having a hot new trainer named Philip, she believes that this will be a new beginning for herself. Unfortunately, Monsters aren’t the only thing Heather needs to worry about. With someone stalking her dreams, she realizes there may be more than just Monsters in the world, and that Kadin will do anything to stop her from helping the Monster Hunters. Even if that means unleashing an entity that was locked away by his people thousands of years ago. In this all-new paranormal young adult series, romances will be formed, evil becomes unleashed, and everyone Heather loves will soon be at risk. Because in a world where Monsters walk the earth, anything is possible.

4. He held out his hand, and said, “Come on, Heather. Let's go somewhere
better.”
I glared at him, hoping he'd take the hint. “I'm not going anywhere
with you. You can tell me everything right now.” I got up off the ground
and walked to a nearby boulder and sat. “So talk.”
“Very well,” he said. He came over and sat next to me and I swear on
all things holy he wanted to put his leg as close to mine as possible. He
examined me for a moment before he said, “You haven't changed yet, I see.”
The confusion must have been clearly written on my face. He continued
a moment later. “Heather, I have to say I'm a bit surprised that no one has
told you. Especially Kristen.”
My heart tightened in my chest. He really did know her secret, didn't
he? But he also knew more—more than I knew, obviously—and that bothered
me. Unless he was just toying with my head, trying to get a rise out of me.
“What are you talking about?”
Kadin shrugged. “If you don't know, why is it my place to tell you?”
I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to that. My first instinct was to
hit him, but I stopped myself. “Because you could try to be helpful instead
of a pain in my ass. Unless, of course, that's too hard for you.” Pushing the
buttons of a dream-walker probably wasn't a good idea, but what other
choice did I have? Antagonizing sarcasm seemed to be his native language.
He chuckled and said, “I suppose I could. But I have a better idea.”
Confusion swept over me. “Explain.”
Kadin stood and turned to face me. Purple electricity rimmed his
fingertips, with little sparks dancing around, and my heart pounded in my
chest with anxiety. How could he do all of this? I didn't have much time to
ask before the electricity shot out of his hands and shocked me.
I screamed, falling off the boulder, and he jumped on top of me. I cried
out, but knew that no one could hear me. Fire burned in his eyes and he
leaned into me, whispering, “It needs to be done. I can't have you as a
threat. You're just going to side with them!”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I screamed.
I didn't have much time to question anything. Kadin grabbed my hair
and bashed my head into the ground. Pain coursed its way through my body.
Then I watched the most fascinating thing happen. Darkness swept over his
body, literally taking over Kadin, and they slithered likes snakes all around him.
There was so much darkness and I could practically feel the evil in the air.
The darkness slithered over me too, I gasped as it began to crawl over
my face. It hurt worse than the electricity that wriggled through my insides.
It felt like very strong suction cups as it crawled over me, like it was ripping
skin off while it wrapped around me.
