COMPLETED (BOOK 6) *Also a stand alone book, but reading the other books is suggested!* An arrogant demon with a terrible temper lives only to aid his master. Kaiden, who is titled by the devil himself as his best soul catcher, hunts down angels and steals their souls to plunge into hell. The young demon does anything and everything to keep his master happy. When a mission he has performed several times turns into a moment which changes his life forever, Kaiden finds the soul his heart will always be chasing. What comes to the mind of those who think of hell? Is it a word associated with dark, sinister, and blasphemous actions? Is it a fictional place for sinful souls to be destroyed by the menacing devil? In the human race, such cruelty is captured only through religion, imagination and entertainment. However, there is little information that they know about the world in which they call their home. What would humans do if they found out that hell is more tangible than the thoughts in their very own heads? And demons roam the surface of the earth, every single day. *HIGHEST RANK IN FANTASY: 3*

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.
