Alexis has always dreamed of becoming a pop star. So what if she's also a cannibalistic monster? 45 years ago, rifts in reality unleashed monsters called anathema. Then the first guardians appeared: ordinary humans who gained extraordinary powers through bonding with the mysterious star cores. They fought back the anathema as well as an even greater threat: nightmares. Unlike the mindless anathema, nightmares were a dark mirror of guardians: intelligent beings that offered ordinary humans monstrous powers. Alex grew up surrounded by guardians, but she only cared about becoming a world famous pop star—beautiful, talented, and definitely not a psychopath pretending to be normal. That changed when she found out that her new roommate was possessed by a nightmare, and worse, that she herself was never fully human. Part human, part nightmare, part anathema, and part guardian, she's a hybrid kind of monster that neither of them thought possible. But her goal remains the same: become a pop star at all costs... ...Even if that means eating a few people along the way. ~ ~ What to expect:- Read the tags and synopsis, silly
