During a year-long coma--literally spent in hell--seventeen-year-old Caden Butcher developed a special power. He can speak to demons in their own language. Awakening with this new ability, Caden takes over the family exorcism business and becomes known as the young whiz-kid exorcist to the stars, obtaining most of his work from Hollywood. But what others don't know is the exorcisms are all staged with the help of his best buddy, Dantalion, a demon he met in while he was in hell. When an exorcism goes wrong, Caden discovers the demon inside a teen girl is not your normal malicious entity, but an adversary from down under who is hell-bent on Caden's destruction because of what Caden did to him while in hell. Now with the help of Dantalion and Caden's girlfriend Aspen, a skilled necromancer, Caden must track down the rogue demon before he can expose Caden as a fraud and end his reign as the one and only Demon Whisperer.

The last thing a girl as awkward as Dani Gale should be doing is trying to learn the high wire. Yet that's exactly where Dani ends up-at OZ, the Oswald Zinzendorf School of Circus Arts. Trying to overcome her shyness is near impossible when her new partner-the hottest guy she's ever laid eyes on, and whose touch seems to give her poise she thought impossible-also seems to be sabotaging her progress. The last thing Cai Coppersmith needs is a distraction, especially in the form of the new, cute shy girl. He needs to focus on trying not to shape-shift into a tiger on school grounds, and completing his mission to keep Dani from winning the school's high-wire competition. In fact, the entire safety of OZ is relying on Dani not succeeding. But there's something about the girl that draws him in. She has magic, he can feel it. So he'll do what he can to protect her, even if it means pushing her away.

After the tragic death of popular 17-year-old Haven Mayberry, everyone at Westside High is in despair, but nobody feels more alone than outcast Daisy Wendell, who wears baggy frumpy clothes and sarcasm as an impenetrable shield. Unbeknownst to everyone in their religious town, especially Haven's uptight mother, she and Haven were secretly best friends. When their friendship is discovered, the students of Westside High suddenly take an interest in Daisy, particularly Haven's close friends, Paige, Jenna and Ashley. It's Paige who then leads the charge in trying to assimilate Daisy into the upper echelon of school society. Some think her motivations are driven by grief, but Daisy knows it's driven by guilt. Guilt at having confronted Haven and Daisy, on the day Haven died, about the fact they weren't just secret friends, they were secretly in love/secret lovers. At first, Daisy resists the unwanted attention, but eventually, in her desperation to cling to Haven's memory, she starts to communicate with her dead friend and asks for her advice. The result? She slowly loses her grip on her own identity, and becomes more popular than Haven was. Indeed, Daisy now feels as if she's closer to Haven than ever, but in order for her to move on she must reveal the truth of their relationship and of herself to everyone who still clings to a ghost of a girl.
