A Door in the Dark by Scott Reintgen

Ren Monroe is one of the top wizards at Balmerick University, but that won’t help her unless she can play the networking game.

Ren is a scholarship kid and the elite houses are the only way to a good job. She has to find a way to get in with the right house to achieve her goals.

When she attends a party to socialize with the right connections, Theo Brood, aka Richie Rich, pulls a prank that has repercussions on the whole city.

His punishment is to take the public waxway portal with the poor kids home for the holidays.

Something goes wrong and six students are transported to the middle of nowhere and one is already dead.

They will have to work together to make it back to civilization and when something starts hunting them, the stakes grow even more perilous.�

This book is great for teens and adults that like high stakes survival with magic and fantasy. The third book in the series was just published and is on my TBR!
