Life is full of choices. Simple ones can be difficult while the decision between your life and your friends' lives is easy.Rage festers within Iris Faye. She longs to take her revenge on Brett, but he's keeping his distance. Her anger only increases as she feels her friendships slipping away. She directs it at herself. At her abilities. They are once again the cause of all her problems--but she knows she can't stop using magic.When an email about a New Year's Eve Party is sent to all the Pacific Grads, Iris dismisses it as a poorly conceived trap by Brett and Mr. Moreno. That is until Brett crashes her dad's fiftieth to deny he's involved and insists Iris doesn't go. But after her friends point out whoever set up this trap will have a room full of hostages she knows at their disposal, Iris insists on going. Though she tries to go alone, her friends won't let her. Willingly walking into a trap isn't the smartest idea in the world, but Iris knows she has no other option. But what is she supposed to do when it turns out she has the whole situation wrong and her friends are in more danger than she ever imagined? Sacrificing herself to save her friends is an easy choice. Living long enough to escape with her life is the problem.
