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?

Dance with Darkness - Ghost Dance by MissLHazyB

“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. Book 1 of the Dance with Darkness series. Updates every-other weekend.

"Please take me home" I no longer felt like going to work I didn't want my patient to see me devastated and terrified. After a few minutes we reached my apartment as I was about to get out he locked the doors I shivered feeling him turn towards me by now my eyes were glossy. I slowly turned to look at him the smell of blood was painted on him the tears rolled down my cheeks his thick thumb wiped them away my body was shaking I was terrified of this man when his skin made contact with mine my body tingled with a foreign emotion, I looked up at his eyes letting him touch me afraid he would kill me if I moved. "Goodnight my Queen" I shivered at the title he had given me, I was scared to the bone and I was not about to argue with him while he had a taste for blood the look in his eyes told me he still wanted more when he entered the car earlier on. He tenderly kissed my forehead lingering as my heart exploded I waited patiently and shut my eyes praying for him to remove his lips from my skin so I could go home. He finally did and when he unlocked the car doors I jumped out and hurried to my apartment not looking back at the devil in the car. I finally reached my apartment panting and shut the door sliding down my door crying hysterically, I could still feel his cold lips on me. What did I just witness tonight. What did I get myself into. I was scared of the future because I knew surely he would be back to check on his Queen.
