Being the devil's henchwoman-slash-personal-assasin is far from Avril Duchannes' dream job, but what other choice does she have when she's shot and killed in cold blood, and the devil himself lands on her doorstep with the offer? After all, she has her whole afterlife ahead of her to do his bidding, and twenty four years of bad luck on her heels she's itching to forget.
But the past never stays in the past for long; Avril has questions, and the mysterious man Lucifer has instructed her to kill might have the answers. Avril's new victim is raising some serious hell for her, nevermind that she might be in love with him - he was the one who killed her.
And now Lucifer wants her to return the favor.
