Jennifer Lynne is a homicide detective working on one of the most horrific serial killing cases New York has seen in the last decade. When she and her partner get a lead on the suspect, they catch him with his seventh victim. But things go south and Jennifer gets unexplainably hurt at the scene. When she wakes up, something is...off. The serial killer claims that he was possessed by a demon who made him kill six innocent people, and that demon is now possessing Jennifer. Normally, she would laugh it off, but his words scare her. They make her realize that what she's been feeling and thinking since that night isn't her, but instead is something demonic. As much as she doesn't want to believe him, she knows he's right - and soon, she will get the urge to hunt down seven people. An urge that will take everything within her to resist. In order for Jennifer to be freed of this demon, she will have to kill all seven victims. And the longer it is inside of her, the more control it gains. How much of her will be left by the end?

Five college freshman, each with a supernatural past they'd rather forget, have to work together to solve the murder of a stubborn ghost and keep their university from going to Hell. Literally. Heather once made a deal with the Devil, and was lucky to get out of it with her soul intact. Now she just wants to be a normal college kid. But her roommate is possessed and killed by a demon on her very first day. Donovan is a necromancer who no longer wants anything to do with ghosts. But this one ghost girl insists her murder is part of something bigger, and won't take no for an answer. When a cursed immortal offers to hire them to help solve the mystery, heather and Donovan can't refuse. As more demonic activity plagues the university, they must work with a knife-wielding demon expert, a supernatural tech genius, and a girl who cheated death itself to figure out what is stirring from beyond the grave. In order to free the ghost's soul and save their university, Heather will have to make one more deal with the Devil, Donovan will have to embrace his true powers over the dead ... and someone on their team will have to die.
