Faerie Gift by Brea Viragh

Classes and killing don’t mix well.

Half Fae, half wolf-shifter, Tavi Alderidge is well into her second semester at the Fae Academy for Halflings. She’s learned to create her own potion to suppress her shifter side and thus avoid detection—which would mean instant expulsion—so her only issues now are classes and peer competition, right?

Wrong. The witch to whom she promised a favor now comes to collect: Tavi must steal a priceless artifact for her or else brave the consequences. Not only will Tavi have to make good on her promise. She’ll have to use her newly discovered inherent gifts—including a power she isn’t supposed to have—to get the job done. At least she has friends on her side, but Mike, the Crown Prince of Faerie, has secrets of his own.

With more bodies piling up and the murders stinking of shifters, Tavi finds herself thrown into the fire again. And when she discovers that the exchange students the academy is hosting may possess the artifact she needs, she will have to dodge murderers and magic alike, all while struggling to keep her place despite the school’s cutthroat elimination process.
