Chloe is well aware that she’s ordinary. So, when bad-boy Tyler starts talking to her, she’s convinced he must have an ulterior motive. What she doesn’t suspect is that he’s actually a demon escaped from Hell to live out his college-age dreams of going to concerts and playing in a punk metal band. And that he actually likes her. Soon, swoons and romantic dates replace Chloe’s trepidation.

But as Chloe and her new friend Alicia are dragged deeper in Tyler’s world, they realize that many less-friendly demons roam the Earth too. And one of them is murdering girls—girls who look a lot like Chloe.

With the help of Tyler and a contingent of angels, Chloe and Alicia take the paranormal investigation into their own hands. Because if they don’t find out which demon is murdering girls soon, Chloe will be next. 

EXCERPT

This excerpt is my absolute favorite scene from the book, and the one that started it all.

 

We didn’t really talk as we walked across the grass away from the tennis courts, toward the wide expanse of open field between the sports complex and the walking paths around the lake.  The lake was huge, and it was a cloudy, cool day for summer, so there weren’t many people here.  It was easy to find a path with no one nearby.  I wanted to find someplace to sit, but as we crossed onto a footbridge and Tyler leaned over the rail, excitedly pointing out the gross giant goldfish, I lost it. 

“Enough with the mind games, Tyler.  I know what you are.” 

He had his back to me.  Turning around slowly, one eyebrow quirked, he said, “What are you talking about, Chloe?”  He laughed.  “I mean, we’ve kind of already covered that I’m a musical genius if that’s what you mean.” 

Now that he was facing me, I could feel myself getting nauseous, but I’d practiced this.  I could do it.  Clenching my hands tightly, I shook my head.  “No.  That’s the thing.  You’re too perfect.  You know things you couldn’t know.  You can see bad things before they happen.  You’re completely gorgeous.” 

“There’s nothing weird about being hot.”  Maybe I was paranoid now, but still, I thought he looked tenser than usual.  He was gripping the handrail of the bridge so tightly that his knuckles were white, and he looked like he had stopped breathing. 

“That’s not it.”  I took a deep breath, but I was still shaking.  “I mean, no one knows anything about you.  You never talk about your past or your family.  You never even talked to anyone before me, and even when you’re with me, you never say anything about yourself.  You have visions…your eyes are glowing red, and you have visions of the future, for crying out loud.  I mean, did you think I’d never figure it out?” 

“Figure what out?”  He wasn’t smirking anymore. 

“You’re a vampire.” 

His eyes opened wide…and then he burst out laughing.
