Books in the Alternate Academy series

Being a teenager can be hard. Being a teenager with supernatural abilities can be murder. Nova Harris hasn't had the easiest life. Her mother died when she was five, and she never knew her father. Her stepdad wasn't exactly the warm and fuzzy type...but Nova had never meant to kill him. Now Nova has discovered that she is an Alternate - a person with supernatural abilities - and that there are others just like her at Tidemarsh: a school for freaks. When Nova finds herself drawn to a mysterious boy being held in The Tombs; a place where the most dangerous Alternates are locked away in the dark, she ends up with more questions than answers. The more she explores, the more secrets she uncovers that she really should have left well alone. Welcome to Alternate Academy, where the only things not falling apart, are probably already on fire!
