Love is even more dangerous behind bars.


Ava-Marie


My name is Ava-Marie, and I love living on the dark side.


Getting into trouble is kind of my thing, but one night, I take revenge too far. I’m sentenced to a reform school for magical delinquents... though really, it’s a prison.


As the only supernatural who can control both fire and water, I’m already a target. To make matters worse, I literally share a soul with Charlie, a sexy inmate from the wrong side of the tracks. Surviving at the Institute is almost as risky as falling in love.


But there’s a way out. The Warden is offering a pardon for the team who wins the Darke Games— a sick, twisted competition where more prisoners come out dead than alive.


They think I'm the bad guy. I'm about to show them just how much of a villain I can be.


Charlie


I shouldn’t be at the Institute. I’m in here because of her— the girl who claims to own half my soul.


After losing my sight, I grew up as an orphan, banished from magical society. I learned enough on the streets to survive the gangs and fight clubs inside the prison. But nothing could prepare me for the Darke Games.


Ava-Marie is my worst enemy, but if we’re going to break out of here, we’ll have to get along. Yet the more I let Ava in, the more I want her. I can’t let my desire for her get in the way of my one chance at escape.


Except it already has. There’s a dark power inside of Ava that terrifies me...


And none of us will be prepared when it unleashes.

Good but not good enough

The plot was good and the characters were interesting, but it didn’t keep my attention for long.
