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?

The question throws me off guard. " Can you suck? " He demands, the desire for something sinister is something he no longer tries to hide. " No. " I mutter, looking down. " Eyes on me, Bambi.

" All for me. " He whispers in a breathy voice. " You don't know how to suck? " He asks, yet again. " No. " I reply, hoping that he'd leave me after finding out how inexperienced I am.

Dance with Darkness - Ghost Dance
“So, what are you doing this weekend?” Maggie asked me. “Oh, nothing much,” I replied. Just working as an indentured servant and hunting demons while possessed by a ghost. No big deal, right? Lynnette Cromwell gets thrown into the supernatural world when her sister goes missing and she finds out her cousin Pat hunts demons for a living. When Pat disappears next, Lynnette gets desperate and seeks help from the oldest demon-hunting company in the U.S. Since she can’t afford to pay for their help, she makes a deal to work for them instead, but the contract is vague and the president of the company is reluctant to give any details. To Lynnette’s surprise and displeasure, she finds herself partnered with Nakoma, a centuries-old ghost whose aloof attitude masks a mysterious past—one that she’ll need to share if they’re ever to solve a case of recent supernatural murders spanning the continent. Lynnette’s only hope to survive as a hunter is to trust the ghost, but the longer she stays in the world of vampires, daemons, elves, and demons, nothing seems as it should, and the matter of who is good and who is evil becomes lost in a haze of magic and darkness.
