Breaking Silence by Mercedes Lackey and Cody Martin

This is a young adult book.  A group of teenagers find themselves facing creatures from their nightmares.  This is a book in the Serrated Edge Series.   

Staci, a blossoming mage, and her mentor Tim gather a Selkie and two mundanes to face a mysterious darkness that surrounds the mansion of a former foe.   The authors provide barely enough back story that you don’t feel completely lost. 

“Good Elves” move into town and hint that there is a darkness coming.   The authors provide the teenage protagonists with more than enough annoying teenage angst.  Alas the angst may be representative of teens but that is far in my past.

I enjoyed the book and the creative way that Staci finally uses her wits. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
