Welcome to the family. In a disheartened attempt to get her life back on track, Lucy takes up a live-in nanny position only to realize that the advert was misleading, sending her world spinning violently out of control. She was meant to look after kids and animals, not a menagerie of mythical monsters--of human and beast kind alike. Little does her mysterious new employer know Lucy has her own dark secrets, and faced with the realization that she needs to grow her abilities to survive, she pushes herself too far, destroying the delicate balance between magic and technology. To seize control of her new world and save herself Lucy must choose--Her life, or her humanity. *** Athena M.
