The instant New York Times bestseller
"This beguiling series opener...checks all the boxes for romantasy veterans." – Publishers Weekly
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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This beguiling series opener—which takes place in the world of Wolff's Crave series—centers new characters embarking on a harrowing adventure. Seventeen-year-old Clementine Calder has lived her entire life on the small Gulf Coast island that houses paranormal Calder Academy, the "school for misfits" that her family runs. She increasingly chafes at the draconian rules set by her mother—the strict headmistress—that discourage students' use of their magical abilities. But when a Category 5 hurricane bears down on the academy, Clementine's manticore powers start manifesting, as well as an unprecedented ability to see ghosts, and she begins receiving mysterious flickers of the past and future. With no one to turn to, Clementine is forced to rely on dark and brooding dream daimon Jude Abernathy-Lee, also 17, and her former best friend and crush. Sparks fly as Clementine and Jude uncover dark secrets about their world and find hidden strength within themselves and each other. Existing fans will delight at returning characters, while propulsive chapters punctuated by ever-increasing stakes and liberally peppered with pop culture references offer an easy entry point for series newcomers. Coupled with Clementine's snarky first-person narration, this lengthy tale about coming-of-age under an authoritarian system checks all the boxes for romantasy veterans. Clementine reads as white; Jude cues as Korean and white. Ages 14–up. Agents: Emily Sylvan Kim, Prospect Agency.

I really enjoyed Sweet Nightmare!!! I like how it was darker than Crave and I learned very quickly not to get attached to characters! Some twists you saw coming but I still ate this book up. A fantastic follow up to the Crave series!
