Nick is cursed with a voice in his head that narrates what is going to happen, and if he deviates from the script, he suffers excruciatingly. Then he meets Taryn, whose family turns out to have much more to do with Nick's curse than he could have foreseen. While Nick's narrative voice is compelling and clear, the plot is less so.

Gwen should be excited that her boyfriend, Wish, is moving back to town, but all she can think about is how fat she's become. Gorgeous, popular Wish still likes her, but another boy is convinced Wish is part of the Luminati, a cult that can control the stars. The concept is intriguing, but Gwen's self-loathing distracts from the story's momentum.

Sandman Eron looks forward to becoming human and seeking out his charge, Julia. However, Eron's chance at humanity depends upon his replacement-–who happens to be Julia's possessive boyfriend, Griffin. Griffin's jealousy leads to a taut (if somewhat abrupt) climax endangering both Eron's precious opportunity and Julia's life. Romance and action are well-balanced by the characters' coming of age.

Morgan is excited for her sixteenth birthday, which she shares with her too-good-to-be-true boyfriend, Cam. Unbeknownst to Morgan, that's also the day Cam will become a full-fledged fairy and must return to Otherworld. As she fights to keep Cam, shallow Morgan transforms into a more complex character (though the shift is a little too abrupt to be believable).
