Alice has questions.

Is The Society of Curse Breakers a cult?
How can she control her magic?
Why does she keep passing out?
Can she trust Nate and Ivy?
Why does everything keep attacking them?
Can they really break an ancient curse?

Good luck Alice! You’re going to need it. #questpit #q #f

Whatever Avira's friends may say about the "signs" at the abandoned silo, Avira does NOT believe in the 2012 apocalypse.

But with her bestie competing against her in the art contest offering a full ride scholarship, and threatening her new crush, life's plenty apocalyptic. #questpit #YA #S #PR #Q
