Salem Salazar is a Mortimer University legacy student. She's very obsessed with death. One evening she had seen something on the beach below and made her way to whatever it was. Laying there was a female body and she was fascinated by it. She was taking pictures and writing things down on her phone, when someone came up behind her. His voice was deep and he was just standing there like her, looking down at the body. He had called the police and a little while later, Salem decided it was time to head back to the school. 

The next morning she made her way to the coffee shop. Aditi was the girl that worked there and Salem would buy the same coffee every morning and she would sit at the same table away from everyone else. She wasn't all the social when it came to people. Her classes were going to be starting in a few days. One class she had to take was Psychology. She didn't know much about the professor other than he was good at what he taught. 

Dr. Merlin introduced his TA, Cas. When he spoke she knew she heard that voice before. He was listening to all the students introduce themselves and when she said her name, he looked right at her and everything in her tingled like crazy. What was it about him and why was she feeling it every where inside of her. As times went by and class got going, they would have heated discussions in class. 

One day he was watching her with her friends and walked right into the coffee shop and straight to her. Giving her a very hot and long kiss in front of everyone. That changed everything between them. 

Salem was there to investigate her sisters death and found out that there was a few others over the years. Something about this school was causing young adults to either kill themselves or they were getting murdered. Her and Caz were starting to see each other more and more and she was having a hard time, like he was, staying away from each other. She had been trying to get answers from him and he kept telling her that he can only tell her so much because he wanted to protect her. 

Things do come to a head towards the end of the story. Each was a really good story. It pulled you in and made you want to keep reading. I will say that it's only for adults because of the sexual themes. You'd have to read the front of the book to see if your will to read it.
