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.

Sixteen year old Elspeth 'Ellie' Winters is a hunter. Only, she's not allowed to hunt. Why? Because she is the oracle, seeing past present and future. Mainly she just sees Demons plotting to overthrow the human world by resurrecting their ancient master. Nothing new to write home about. When she sees something that could affect those she loves though, she decides to face the darkness on her own, leaving home. Unfortunately, her best friend Aisling, Aisling's brother Erick and their team mate Xander - a hunter who blames Ellie for the pain in his life - refuse to let her face the darkness alone. As truths come to light, Ellie will battle for her life, fighting to protect the world from demons and ancient powers better left forgotten. Along the way she has to deal with pretentious Masters and pain in the ass hunters who would rather her locked away than living her life. Join Ellie as she fights for her freedom and her future - a future that balances on her life. Or her death.
