#1 New York Times bestselling author A.G. Howard launches a dark, compelling new YA fantasy series about a girl whose family is cursed by Halloween.

Ever since Nix’s parents and sister died on Halloween, Nix has been sure that her family is cursed. She finds comfort in Mystiquel, the imagined world of goblins and faeries she sketches, and in her friend Clarey, who she’s fighting feelings for because he was her sister’s boyfriend.

When her uncle goes missing on Halloween, Nix and Clarey follow his trail and find themselves trapped in a twisted version of their town, filled with Nix’s sketches come to life. As they search for her uncle through the dangerous world of Mystiquel, Nix realizes that there’s more to her family curse than she ever imagined—and it might just claim her life next.
