Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

Every Halloween Ellie and her friends attempt to summon the devil, and this time it’s her turn, she had seen all of her friends do it before and he never appeared. She thought it was a stupid old tale, she didn’t believe in the supernatural, but he does exist and he’s coming for her, and it’s not just her soul he wants anymore.

He had spent centuries with only himself for company, he fed, tortured and killed that was his life and he liked it that way, until she came along and stirred something in him, something he couldn't and wouldn't accept. “If I were you I’d keep that stake sharp. Don’t expect anymore visits like this, next time I come I expect you to use that thing,” he told her pointing to the stake on the bed, and then he was gone.
