They thought
they’d have it easy being monster elites, but these three best friends still
have to deal with pop quizzes, crushes, and even worse…humans.
Frances Stein,
Loralie Reaper, and Tsukiko Okami just want to play games and relax after their
classes. Any hopes of chilling out, however, are destroyed when humans attack
Monster Academy and try to use the students for ransom.
In order to
defeat the humans and protect their fellow monsters, they must work side by
side with their crushes without giving away their secrets. Of course, that
would be a lot easier if they were able to stick together, but in a move that
betrays insider knowledge, the BFFs are separated.
By tapping into
their monstrous powers and working with their crushes, they will open their hearts
and unlock abilities long thought dead. But will it be enough to save all of
monster-kind? It’s going to be one hell of a year at Monster Academy.

EXCERPT
“Why do you
three look so glum? Not get any presents?” Norma asked as she slid into her
seat across the room.
“Don’t even
acknowledge her,” I whispered.
“Doesn’t
surprise me that no one wanted to give you a gift after the way you treated the
Evil Three,” she added.
I didn’t even
need to ask who the Evil Three were. It was obviously the guys. The girls liked
to give them ridiculous names as they claimed to be their fan club or something
else idiotic.
“I’m glad you
showed your true colors. Now someone actually deserving of them can get them.
Your spell is gone and we can finally make our move,” Norma purred.
“Have fun,” I
said. “Just leave us alone.”
Dante came into
the classroom, and I immediately dropped my eyes to look at the desk.
“Hey, Dante,”
Norma crooned. “You look hot today.”
“Norma,” he
greeted.
“I made you
this,” she said.
I lifted my
eyes, but kept my head still, so I could use my hair as a shield to watch them.
She held out a
red wrapped box to Dante.
He glanced at
me, our eyes meeting even through my veil of hair, and he took the box from
her. “Thanks.”
I dropped my
eyes again, tears burning them.
No. I would not
cry.
I had no reason
to cry.
“You sure I
can’t just tear one of her arms off?” Loralie whispered. "She doesn’t need
both of them."
I sighed. “It
would make me feel better.”
“Not today,”
Tsukiko said. “Maybe some day, but you can’t tear an arm off today.”
“Spoilsport,”
Loralie muttered.
I let out a
short, soft laugh, but it was cut short when Norma laughed at something Dante said.
“Just a few
hours left,” Tsukiko whispered.
Hopefully, I
could make it that long.
