“Just when you think you're having a scene without Simon, he drops in to remind you that everyone else is a supporting character in his catastrophe.”

Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him.
His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he'll be safe.
Simon can't even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can't stop worrying about the evil git.
Plus there are ghosts.
And vampires.
And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down.
When you're the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything.
