25 - Entry - Katy McCormick is enjoying life as a college freshman. She's got new friends, new opportunities, and now a new set of mysteries to investigate. When someone hacks Katy's blog and nearly causes a panic with a dangerous hoax, Katy wonders if it could be a case of old enemies catching up with her. She turns to a new friend to help her find the answers, only to discover that her friend is dealing with a mystery too. And Katy isn’t the only one with enemies on campus. 26 - Podcast - Katy McCormick uncovers a campus legend. It's a haunted audio file, a podcast that comes with rumors of a sinister curse. The more Katy investigates, the more unnerving the discoveries become. But without more than a gut instinct, she must convince a close friend that this could be more than just another urban myth. 27 - Conversations - Katy McCormick has tried hard to keep her new friends away from the secrets she has uncovered. She doesn't want to endanger anyone. But circumstances change, and people change too. As her enemies begin to move against her Katy must find a new kind of courage: The courage to ask for help. 28 - Crossing - Katy McCormick sets out on a Spring Break road trip despite the concerns of her Father. She's been longing for the freedom of the open road, but with that freedom comes danger. When Katy tries to help out a stranger in need, she finds herself trapped and hunted, and she is forced into a direct confrontation with the supernatural. 29 - Chains - A distant tragedy casts a shadow over the campus, and Katy McCormick finds herself caught up in watching the events unfold on cable news. It's the day of the Virginia Tech shootings, and Katy faces her own fears as friends come together for comfort and reassurance. Amidst the distractions, Katy's enemies seize an opportunity. 30 - Misdirection - Katy McCormick goes on the offensive in her fight against the campus secret society known as the Granite Lodge. In an isolated cabin in the woods, she offers to make a deal with her enemies. Katy has come prepared, but she's playing a dangerous game of misdirection where any wrong move could have very nasty consequences. 31 - Signing - Katy McCormick has completed her freshman year in college, and she's landed a summer job at a mall bookstore. She's looking forward to a dull and uneventful summer where the worst danger she faces will be from the crowds at the Harry Potter release party. But when she's assigned to help out a local author with a book signing, Katy finds that past dangers have a way of resurfacing, and her summer is off to a decidedly eventful start. 32 - Date - Katy McCormick's summer is going well. She has a job, a brand new iPhone, and a new boyfriend. Of course, with the new relationship comes the issue of trust. How many of her secrets is Katy willing to share? How much is she willing to risk? In a quiet garden, reflections on the past give way to what could be a very disturbing revelation about the future.

College campuses can be full of mysteries, especially in the eyes of a new freshman. But Katy McCormick is no stranger to mysteries. She spent her high school years working for private investigator Chester Hall, and along the way, Katy made enemies and she saw close friends end up hurt or worse. Now Katy is on her own, and that's just fine with her. She plans on taking the fight to her enemies, and Chess Hall conveniently left her with the resources to do just that. But when those campus mysteries begin to present themselves, Katy finds that it might not be so easy to keep her crusade against old enemies from spilling over to her new life and her new friends. And as she tries to find some kind of balance, the clues that Katy is following begin to point toward a future shattered by gunfire and a tragedy that just might be all too inevitable.
