Under ordinary circumstances, Oakley Ford and Vaughn Bennett would never even cross paths. There's nothing ordinary about Oakley. This bad-boy pop star's got Grammy Awards, millions of fangirls, and a reputation as a restless, too-charming troublemaker.

The numbers don't lie; our obsession with smartphones and social media is slowly eroding the very essence of our homes and families. We see it. We feel it. We know it. So what do we do about it? Spoiler alert: Forget parental control apps, time limits, or reward charts. This revolutionary path takes us into the heart of the beast itself: the social media algorithm.

Some kind of evil space rodents are appearing on the front lawn, too.

My name is Tamsin Vale and… I’m stressed. Shocker, I know, but being a college senior at the top supe university is hard. Well, now that the curriculum is what I need and challenging. And I’m also the ruler of a whole world including two realms that have been warring for thousands of years that I’m trying to bring together. I also have five mates.

I’ll always be different as the heir of Faerie or the daughter of a ...

My name is Tamsin Vale, and I survived my first semester at Artemis University… And several Biblical plagues. Of all the things I’d been expecting, plagues weren’t one of them. We still don’t know who the culprit was or if it was simply a prank, so there’s possibly another threat out there against me. Add it to the list. Unfortunately, that damn list is getting long. But despite all of that, I think I’m getting the hang of this college thing. I like my classes, I’m doing well in them, and I’m making progress on also finishing high school. I have some normal in my completely ...

My name is Tamsin Vale and I’m the only living heir to all of Faerie. I want to do what’s right and use that position to help my people, but too many treat me as if I belong to them and that world. And I cannot live my life that way. Nor can I keep pretending all my relationships are okay. Three are great, but it’s time to let one go and stop forcing myself to accept so much. The warlock and vampire elders are gone, arrested, for their crimes. People are upset how we’re handling so much or getting involved in “their” world. Funny, because all I heard when we were in hiding is ...

My name is Tamsin Vale and I’m the last known fairy. Someone found out and that was why I was abducted, which I survived. And my boyfriend freaking out after drinking my blood. And all the drama with Mel’s family. And getting the havens running, which we received so much flack over. And… A lot. There’s been a lot and it’s sort of a miracle I’ve not been outed or taken out. Despite the crazy, things are back on track with Darby and I’m enjoying my fun with Hudson. I wish I could say the same about Craftsman, but I can’t. Things aren’t going well there and I don’t know ...

My name is Tamsin Vale, and I’m the future queen of Faerie. That’s right, I finally said it. No more being the heir or reminding people I didn’t agree to the job. Now I have and mostly because I think I’ll actually be a good queen. I have the right qualities, and I don’t let the wrong things distract me from what is important. Even if being queen comes with situations and duties not part of the role, but because I’m the most powerful magical wielder in two worlds. Though, I do bring some of that on myself. Like saving Mary Craftsman and any witch or warlock who might go over the...
