The scariest school on earth
Is about to experience real fear…

Most schools are about being the best. This school? It’s about being the worst. Calder Academy is where the rogue paranormals go. The ones who break the rules or lose control. And when that happens for vamps, werewolves, witches, and dark fae? It gets pretty freaking scary.

I should know. Because I’m trapped here.

Look, every seventeen-year-old girl thinks their mom is a tyrant. But mine just happens to run Calder Academy, which paints a giant target on my back. The way I make it through these dark halls is by steering clear of the things—and kids—who go bump in the night.

Especially Jude Abernathy-Lee.

But when a freak storm hits our isolated island, I'm stuck without a backup plan. The power is gone. The lights are out. And our worst nightmares are suddenly real—and out for blood.
Now the only way to survive is to align myself with one evil to avoid the other.

And the only thing worse than the idea of getting close to Jude? Secretly loving every minute of it.

The Calder Academy series is best enjoyed in order.

Editorial Reviews

2024-03-23
Calder Academy, a boarding school for delinquent paranormals, may as well be a prison for Clementine.

Clementine Calder has spent her whole life on the isolated Texas island campus of the school for paranormal teens whose powers pose a danger to others. Calder Academy houses everyone from witches to vampires, suppressing their magic and forcing them to coexist. Now that her senior year has arrived, Clementine wants nothing more than to graduate and move away. But the headmaster—her mother—is clear that she’s not going to let Clementine ever leave and experience the real world: “Just remember, Clementine, dreams can be prisons, too.” Beyond the issues with her family, Clementine has spent the last three years avoiding Jude Abernathy-Lee, her childhood best friend who ghosted her, seemingly without reason. When a Category 5 hurricane hits the island, Clementine is forced to work with Jude and suddenly finds herself at the center of a waking nightmare that will change the course of her life—and of Calder Academy—forever. Set in the same universe as Wolff’s Crave series, this spinoff is easy to dive into, although the flat, uninspired romance and core narrative leave something to be desired. Clementine is cued white; Jude’s father is Korean (his mother’s background isn’t named), and there’s racial diversity in the supporting cast.

Enjoyable but ultimately forgettable; will appeal to fans of the original series. (content warning) (Fantasy. 14-18)
