      If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl—someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment—not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control; I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever. Now I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends—a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.

      Toronto, ai nostri tempi. Elena Michaels è una giornalista di successo, ha un ragazzo normale che la vorrebbe sposare, ama correre di notte, correre veloce come il vento. Non sono certo le strade buie o i tipi loschi a farle paura perché dalla sua ha qualcosa di straordinario. È l'unica donna licantropo al mondo. Ha abbandonato il suo clan d'appartenenza e i comfort della villa, loro quartier generale, per una vita ordinaria. Indietro non si è lasciata solo un Branco ma anche Clay, colui che l'ha tradita trasformandola in un licantropo. Sarà l'amore per l'unico uomo che davvero le abbia toccato il cuore e il forte sentimento di appartenenza ai licantropi che la ricondurranno indietro, quando il Branco avrà bisogno di lei. È giunto per Elena il momento di scegliere tra l'amore per Clay e quello per il ragazzo della porta accanto, tra la sua nuova vita, tessuta su una tela labile e pregna di bugie, e la sua natura che, come la luna chiama le maree, la sta chiamando a sé.

      Chloe Saunders, una teenager come tante. Pochi sogni nel cassetto e nessuna particolare aspirazione, se non quella di diplomarsi con un voto decente, avere molti amici, trovare magari un ragazzo da amare. E tuttavia, sebbene le sue aspettative non siano poi così alte, mai si sarebbe aspettata che nel bagno della scuola, invece di ragazze che si rifanno il trucco o parlano del giocatore di football che le ha invitate al ballo, avrebbe trovato il bidello. Un bidello che ormai è morto. Ma Chloe può vedere i fantasmi e i fantasmi possono vedere lei. La sua vita non sarà mai più la stessa. Molto presto gli spettri sono ovunque, le richiedono attenzione, invocano il suo aiuto. È troppo per lei: la ragazza ha un crollo nervoso, tanto da essere internata in una casa per ragazzi disturbati. Lyle House, «un posto per ritrovare la serenità» reciterebbe la brochure, se ne esistesse una. Purtroppo la realtà si rivela presto meno patinata e tranquilla: quando Chloe conoscerà meglio gli altri pazienti - l'affascinante Simon e l'odioso fratello Derek, la detestabile Tori e Rae, che ha un "problemino" col fuoco - inizierà a realizzare che c'è qualcosa di strano e sinistro che lega tutti loro, che non si tratta dei soliti "ragazzi interrotti", che c'è una vena molto più oscura che si cela nelle fondamenta di Lyle House…
