Book One of the Hades Trilogy
Sometimes, not even astronomical power can save you...
Alexis Randell has had a hard life - an abusive childhood, spent living in a bad neighborhood, has marred her past and destroyed her faith, and her own, uncontrollable power - the power to see and sense demons - simply makes matters worse.
Because of her 'gift', demons are a common occurrence in her life, which is probably why, after dragging herself out of the mud and opening her own bar, she's dedicated it to her somewhat hellish fans. But these fans bring trouble, even if it is unintentionally.
Cara has been Alexis's best friend since they were children, which is why when she comes knocking on Alex's door, asking for help, Alex is helpless to refuse.
There's a new band of demons in town, and they're selling a demonic brew to humans, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.
And, worst of all, they have sinister ties to an enemy in Alexis's past.
As the human police get themselves tangled in a web of lies, secrets and sulfur, Alex works behind the scenes to prevent more deaths, even if it means working with Armis, a detective who is intent on uncovering all her secrets, and isn't exactly what he seems himself.
In a world where humans and shifters coexist, a coming-of-age story unfolds with Ashlynn at its center. Turning 18 in three days, Ashlynn eagerly anticipates the evaluation that will determine her classification among the two main categories: Dominant or Submissive. With intricate sub-classifications like sub, slave, pet, or little for humans, and Dom, Master/Mistress, or Daddy/Mommy for shifters, the stakes are high. As Ashlynn navigates her tumultuous environment, haunted by her mother's unchecked wrath and her own fragile existence, she teeters on the edge of a society where abuse is unforgivable and justice is swift. As her mother's actions lead to a devastating reckoning, Ashlynn's story unfolds.
