She has teleported herself to "the hidden domain" and have managed to bring along her dream boy, Nathan, and nemesis/ex-besty Adelaide. But how could this be? They were all just at a party. No one knew getting into the backyard shed and saying the "magic words" would work. And the three are absolutely stunned. But the world Aubrey thought would be a wonderful paradise is actually a nightmare. As beautiful and enchanting as it is, Wisteria is like jumping down the rabbit hole with the Devil waiting on the sidelines. The people are different in this world. They are monsters, and not just physically. The Moss Wall is supposed to serve as a protection, separating the demons from the non-demons, but that doesn't mean Aubrey and her friends are safe. Non-demon Aristocrats are nasty and cruel, indulging in their favorite daily past-time: the torture of the red maidens. And as for the handsome demon boy who wants Aubrey's soul? "You'll never escape," warned fairies swooping down on her. But Aubrey, Nathan, and Adelaide won't go down without a fight. They simply must make it to the safe house and find their way out of the realm. Thankfully The Underground Annual is on its way. It is the biggest party, an explosive rave that happens once a year. And now it is their only window of opportunity. But will their plan succeed? Author note: "Honestly I am sorry if any reviewers think Aubrey is too whiney and immature and the book is too dark. But I got to stay true. If you really look into the book you will see that Aubrey is suffering from borderline personality disorder. This is a severe mental illness and Aubrey wasn't created to glamorize mental illness. BPD is a very painful disorder. To be honest Aubrey in a lot of ways is me. And I wrote her for anyone else out there who is just as tortured mentally. Sure it adds another layer to the horror and psychological darkness of this book. But in the end you will see how she gets through and I hope it will help anyone who is suffering the same. Honestly having borderline personality disorder is so hard. In the end, I wasn't writing for everyone. I wrote the book for other girls and boys like me. I tried to find books out there with other girls just like me but to me they all felt cookie cutter and like I couldn't relate. If you get offended by "dramatic" or "sensitive" girls seen as "weak" and not people actually suffering from an emotional disorder and STRONG to still be alive, then I'm sorry this book series (Wisteria) or maybe none of my books is for you."
