A Midwinter Nightmare

High school romance can be hell.

After years of enduring abuse at home, high school sophomore Cari has finally gotten what she’s always wanted: a normal life. On hiatus from eradicating evil at Edensgate Shopping Center, she’s back in school at Halcyon High and living the life of a typical teen. But when she gets grounded for fighting with a mean girl, she stands to miss out on Halcyon High’s Midwinter Dream Valentine’s Dance. What’s more, Rex is going—and he’s got a date. Could it get any worse?

Of course it can. But what horrors arise on that magical night will have to be faced without her. Because something is following Cari, an ominous shadow lurking just out of sight. And it's getting closer...

A Midwinter Nightmare is the fifth book in the spine-tingling Dead Mall novella series that will delight fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. This story also appears in The February Hours collection.
