Tout a commencé lorsque je faisais du cheval à cru avec mon petit ami, Tommy, au sommet d'un rocher au milieu de nulle part, dans le Nevada. C'est alors qu'est entré ce loup, comme si c'était ma mère en plein trip de meth, nous fixant et grognant comme un mari surprotecteur. Pire encore, selon Tommy, je grognais en retour. La minute d'après, Tommy était à l'autre bout du désert et je me retrouvais dans une académie d'élite pour Sorcières, Métamorphes, Vampires et Fées, l'air d'avoir été arrachée du parc à roulottes local. Oh, attendez, c'était le cas. L'Académie Bloodwood pour le Surnaturel n'a qu'une seule règle : ne pas se mêler aux étudiants en dehors de sa race. Alors, bien sûr, c'est la première chose que je fais. Comment dire non à un mâle Fae aux yeux dorés, un Loup-garou lunatique avec des problèmes de meute, et un Vampire aux doigts magiques. Non seulement mes hommes mettent tout sens dessus dessous, mais maintenant ma vie est en danger. Il s'avère que si je ne retourne pas dans ma caravane, des femelles jalouses vont me trancher la gorge. Je dois comprendre pourquoi je suis liée à tous mes compagnons, et pourquoi le directeur m'en veut, avant de me retrouver six pieds sous terre. Ce n'est pas juste Rae Fox, c'est Rae Foxx. Il y a trop de « x » ici pour un seul x.
