Summary from Goodreads:
Witches, potions, and magical spells—that all made sense, but men turning into animal-like monsters in the middle of the night? That had to be fiction, right? Wrong. Cassandra Booth thought her world of witches would be complete when she joined her coven. Fate didn’t plan to let that be the case for her. Joining the coven brings new knowledge, like mates and men as animals, all things Cassie would rather not know. As her plans unravel she must find a way to join the coven without committing her life to a guy she once was friends with and now hates.

EXCERPT:
Tick … Tick … Tick …
Cassandra Booth tried to
ignore the clock as it clicked away from above the desk beside her. It was
nerve-wracking enough knowing that if you wanted to take the test to be an apprentice
witch you had to do it in front of at least fifty people. However, the clock
reminding her it was just about to start was driving her nuts.
Tick … Tick … Tick …
Cassie tried to go over
each step of the potion she was making in her head. She needed to concentrate
and ignore the noises around her as the room began to fill up with high
schoolers.
Tick … Tick …
The sound was lost in
the now-growing sound of students talking. Unfortunately, that wasn’t any
better. She glanced up at the room in front of her. Mistake. It was almost
half-full of people. No one was looking directly at her, but that didn’t make
it any easier. Cassie was anxious enough sitting in the lecture area alone, on
display, but now there were students who would be watching and talking about
her.
Cassie kept her eyes
locked on the table and all her supplies. Taking inventory was easy. Doing the
actual potion and saying the spell correctly was supposed to be the hard part.
No one in her high school, let alone grade, was even attempting to make the
protection spell that had been assigned to her and which would move her from
witchling up to the level of junior apprentice. Most people were shocked when
she’d asked. It had been many years since a high school student had
apprenticed, but that wasn’t going to stop Cassie. She was ready to get out of
her boring classes. She was ready to join everyone in obtaining the great
knowledge that came with being a full-time member of the coven. Cassie was
ready to belong.
