Griffins, Werewolves, Succubi…Oh-my! Norse and Greek mythology collide in this action-packed young adult urban fantasy where shifters and romance abound.
I have no idea what I am, but I know I’m not human.
Megan’s temper lands her in Girderon Academy, an exclusive school founded in a town of misfit supernatural creatures. It’s the one place she should be able to fit in, but she can’t. Instead, … she should be able to fit in, but she can’t. Instead, she itches to punch the smug sheriff in his face, pull the hair from a pack of territorial blondes, and kiss the smile off the shy boy’s face. Unfortunately, she can’t do any of that, either, because humans are dying and all clues point to her.
With Megan’s temper flaring, time to find the real killer and clear her name is running out. As much as she wants to return to her own life, she needs to embrace who and what she is. It’s the only way to find and punish the creature responsible.
Fans of Sarah J Maas, Leia Stone, and Michelle Madow won’t want to miss this immersive world filled with of mythical creatures, mayhem, and all the romance and hot alpha maleness you’re looking for. One-click today!

Fast, fun, and funny!
Fury Frayed is out of the ordinary and the story simply flies by.
I loved this book, it pulled me in right away from the beginning, it kept me up all night reading to see what happens next. The flow is fast & smooth. All the characters are unique (in more ways than just their personalities) and very likable (some more so than others -can we say Oanen & Fenris! ). Melissa Haag has a way with the strong silent type male characters in her books, that is just fabulous. Even though Megan has a temper issue, that made me wonder what the heck was going on with her in the beginning, but by the end, it made total sense & I loved it. The story is unique, I’ve not read anything like it before, and I really appreciate that creativity. There’s a lot of mystery surrounding Megan & the town, that keeps you guessing. There’s all sorts of things going on in this book, different beings from mythology & fairy tales, friendships, enemies, love, mystery, murder, & self-discovery! There is a bit of a set up for the next book in this series but not the kind that leaves you hanging. This is an exciting start for a new series & I can hardly wait for the next book in the series to come out. I want to know more about what happens to all the wonderful characters in this book & to see what other characters will be introduced. I really love all the worlds Melissa Haag/MJ Haag has created in her books.
I also loved the bonus for the JO6 series with Clay & Gabby! What a sweet little short, something I’m positive all the Clay & Gabby lovers would appreciate.
I loved this book! Totally didn’t see some of that coming! Can’t wait to read the next book!

Readers’ Comments
‘This is an amazing story. I’m looking forward to reading the rest.’ Girl, aged 14
‘Megan is a cool character. She’s very strong and determined – and get angry rather a lot. I liked the flirty element of the book; it’s not too romantic which is good. Also, the mystery is interesting.’ Girl, aged 17
‘The town the author created is the best part. I liked all the paranormal parts of the story. That’s my sort of thing. This author is so good at describing the fantasy animals in the story, really bringing them alive to the reader.’ Boy, aged 16
‘The mystery of the deaths was well-handled. Also, the author is good with characters, particularly Megan, who can be a bit difficult, but is perfect for a thriller like this. The writing style was easy to follow. I think the author is particularly good with speech. Excellent read.’ Girl, aged 16
‘Amazing book. Bring on the next.’ Boy, aged 15

Great book. Didn’t want to stop reading after starting it. Can’t wait to read the next one.
Easy flow, the characters come to life, some you will love while others you will not love. Step into another world and stay a while.
Fun YA urban fantasy
I think it’s a great book to read when your looking for an interesting and entertaining pick me up kind of book it’s really good and I’m definitely interested in the next book of the series.
Didn’t want to put it down. Very entertaining. Loved the characters
A really great read, had me laughing
I really enjoyed this one. Very original.
I think the thing that gets me interested and draws me into a book series first is the connection I feel to the characters. This book has wonderful characters that you feel for and care about. I can’t wait to read the third book in this series and see where the adventure continues.
I read and really enjoyed Melissa Haag’s Judgement of the Six series, and was excited to see another series by her. This story was okay. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t as compelling as some of her others. The main character is angry all the time (with good, original reasons), but in some cases acted just a bit too juvenile for my taste, even as a YA book. Otherwise, I did enjoy the read. Good set up for the rest of the series. This is a good stand-alone book, but it’s clear there is a sequel coming.
I thought this book was awesome.!!! Looking forward to more like this!
If you like alternative ideas for mythology, this is an easy reading fun to imagine tale of teenagers with a twist to their existence. Kind of in line with Percy Jackson tales too. Would suggest older teens due to some of the language and violence, but overall, a fun book and looking forward to the series.
I think I might turn around and read this again already! Very entertaining.
