Synopsis

It's been a couple of months since Emma and Lana entered the Praxos Academy and life has been hectic ever since. What with regular A level classes combined with learning all about the supernatural world, control classes, self defence and fight night, the girls are constantly busy.
But when their world seems to stop right in front of them, they and their fellow Watchers, have a huge mystery to solve. A mystery which will lead them on a long road trip across south west England where they will meet all kinds of strange creatures, some intent on causing harm and others desperate to put a stop to the problem.

Excerpt
Stretching her long pale limbs beneath the warm duvet cover, Emma let out a deep yawn and climbed out of bed. She strolled over to Lana and shook her vigorously just as Moira appeared out of the bathroom towel-drying her hair.
'She'll be late again,' she chuckled as she walked past.
Emma rolled her eyes.
'Come on, Sis. Time to get up, we've got to be ready earlier this morning, remember?'
A faint moan could be heard from beneath the covers. Emma shook her head.
'Come on, get up lazy bones.'
'No, it's too early,' grumbled Lana who rolled over comfortably.
'Well, if you're not up and ready soon, you'll miss out on our trip to Somerset with the rest of the class,' Emma replied with her eyebrows raised as she slowly walked towards the bathroom, a towel slung over her shoulder.
The covers were immediately flung back and Lana groaned with an excited grin. 'Somerset here we come,' she smiled before she hopped up, threw on her dressing gown and began emptying her wardrobe frantically trying to find just the right outfit to wear.

oOo
Hand in gloved hand with her boyfriend, Diarmuid, Emma stood dressed entirely in black and purple, her dark hair was tied back in two simple plaits and a checked woolly hat perched on top of her head. Noticing she was shivering, Diarmuid pulled her close and rubbed her arms up and down while she laughed. He then pulled her into a more secluded spot, allowing a faint glow to emanate from his body. Warmth immediately embraced them both.
'Better?' he asked.
'Hm hm,' Emma nodded as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
As they waited for the rest of the gang, Lana walked up the steps that led down into the Academy. With a huge grin plastered across her face, she walked over to her sister where she turned this way and that. Emma shook her head, laughing.
'Well?' asked Lana.
'Yeah Sis, you look amazing. Is that the new dress you bought last week?'
'It is. It's gorgeous isn't it?'
'Let's just say, it's very you. I wouldn't wear it though!' laughed Emma as Diarmuid wolf whistled from behind her.
'Well of course you wouldn't. It's not black or purple and it's a dress,' she joked as she put her long brown coat back on over the leopard print, long-sleeved dress which was a little inappropriate for a field trip across the country.
Moments later, Declan Alexander appeared from within the building, rubbing his hands together. A group of teens trailed behind him.
He turned as he approached, 'Come on guys, gather round. We're walking round to Russell Square where we'll be hopping on to the Tube to Paddington Station. From there we'll get the train to Bath, so make sure you've all got your Oyster cards ready before we leave.'
When they'd finished fishing around in their pockets and handbags and Declan was content everyone had what was needed to take the trip, they exited the well hidden entrance to the Academy and joined the rest of the commuters within the capital.
