After the deaths of her parents, and her sister’s “suicide” via possession, Viktoryia Price is compelled to avenge her family, but she can't do it alone. With the help of an enigmatic bodyguard-for-hire (a powerful being Viky can't decipher), and a cheeky vamperic informer with ties to the underworld, she plans to take a stand against demonkind.

The calm before the storm had barely started before Emile and her friends get a visit from a new face in town. Mikey's mother, Mona Baker Winters, decided to come into town and finish what her ex-husband couldn't. Now that Em has Shadows on her side, she's hoping to turn the tides in her and her friend's favor.

Seventeen year-old Eliza Taylor's latest run-in with New York City Police lands her on a bus with a one way ticket to the small town of Blackwater. Unimpressed with being an indentured servant for her cranky and ridiculously ancient aunt, Eliza soon finds hope when she meets Dante, another of her aunt's employees, as well as Chase, the cute boy-next-door who works at his dad's hardware store. Unfortunately, Eliza's panache for getting into trouble rears its ugly head when she discovers her aunt's shop sells more than just postcards from 1988. Her aunt's "private showroom" houses each of the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Avarice, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. But stopping her evil aunt from damning the souls of unsuspecting teens has a price - and that price might very well be Eliza's eternal soul. Can Eliza survive her evil aunt, outwit the dark master she serves, and keep a few souls out of Hell, including her own? She's not so sure, but seeing as how she likes her soul in the upright and firmly out-of-hell position, she's gonna give it her best shot. Hopefully her best won't end up killing her and ruining her afterlife - God knows her normal life is hard enough! **Copyrighted Material: Bad Company Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2012 All Rights Reserved.
