Working with the ex you secretly love to save the souls of
the innocent is almost as bad as working with a mighty battle unicorn who would
be thrilled to watch you plummet to your death. Scout is used to pain. Her body has been broken, her heart has been broken, and the only thing keeping her together is her relationship with her younger sister. Lil Bit be-lieves in unicorns and terrifying monsters she calls soul stealers. But unicorns and monsters aren’t real…are they?
When Lil Bit falls prey to the mysterious disease sweeping the country, Scout has two options – believe the doctors who say it’s a pandemic or believe Lil Bit, who says it’s the soul stealers. She chooses her sister and goes looking for the unicorns who are supposed to save them. What she finds aren’t the cute pastel mythical creatures she expects. Battle unicorns are big and tough and full of attitude. Who knew?
Unicorns are real and so are the monsters. Soul stealers are reaping the souls of the innocent, and the unicorns are fighting to stop them. But to save the world, they need the help of humans – the enemy they’re dying to protect. And first to sign up for the fight is the ex-boyfriend Scout’s heart won’t stop loving, no matter how determined she is to hate him.

Please don’t let him be here today. Please don’t let
him be here today.
He was there.
Of course he was there; he was
always there. Trey didn’t miss class. For a few seconds Scout debated on
backing herself right out the door and skipping class, but Kylin shoved past
her, nearly knocking Scout into the wall. Scout gritted her teeth but bit back
a reply. Getting in a fight with Trey’s girlfriend right before her first class
of the day? Not a great way to start her morning.
It was zoology, and it would
have been her favorite period if she didn’t have the privilege of sharing it
with Trey and Kylin. Scout pushed her light brown waves over her
shoulder, straightened her spine and stalked in, choosing a seat as far away
from her ex-boyfriend as she could.
It wasn’t that she minded
Kylin. The problem was that Kylin minded Scout. It made things a tad awkward
when they shared a class. Happily, Scout and Trey were both content to pretend
the other didn’t exist, so she didn’t have to deal with him much.

About the Author: Wendy Knight was born and raised in Utah by a wonderful family who spoiled her rotten because she was the baby. Now she spends her time driving her husband crazy with her many eccentricities (no water after five, terror when faced with a live phone call, etcetera, etcetera). She also enjoys chasing her three adorable kids, playing tennis, watching football, reading, and hiking. Camping is also big: her family is slowly working toward a goal of seeing all the National Parks in the U.S.
You can usually find her with at least one Pepsi nearby, wearing ridiculously high heel for whatever the occasion may be. And if everything works out just right, she will also be writing.
