What in the CW was this lol.
I did have fun though. Sweet Nightmare is the first book in the Calder Academy series by Tracy Wolff. I'm not going to touch on the drama that has been occurring with the author as I was unaware of it when I read this book.
Loosely, this book follows Clementine, the daughter of the principal of Calder Academy. She has spent her entire life on the island, which restricts the manifestation of magical abilities. When monsters begin to run rampant on the island and students start losing control of their powers, it is up to Clementine and her childhood best friend/rival Jude Abernathy-lee to stop it.
This book is absolutely ridiculous in a truly CW kind of way. There are shifters, sirens, mermaids, vampires etc. There's petty romantic drama and reasonably predictable twists and turns. Its a wild ride.
