Book 4 in the Casey Grimes series-where a rescue mission goes up in flames.
Spring break was supposed to be fun. A little wild. And definitely safe.
Casey Grimes stopped a Jabberwocky plot that nearly tore Trickery School apart. He survived the semester. He saved lives.
That was supposed to count for something.
With their parents away on a monster mission, Casey and his sister Gloria are finally free from classes, curfews, and emergency alarms. No beasts. No mysteries. Just games, reading, and a little off-the-record weapons practice.
That was the plan.
When a school sleepover is interrupted by a message claiming their parents' mission has gone wrong, Casey and Gloria face a choice: stay safe inside Sylvan Woods-or break the rules and warn them.
They choose their parents. It's a trap.
The moment Casey and his friends cross the border, the ambush begins-monsters in pursuit, a race through hostile territory, and retaliation that's been waiting since last semester.
The heat is rising.
The damage is permanent.
And spring break is officially over.
