For the Slates, demon slaying is the family business. And eighteen-year-old Perrin has fully embraced her chosen profession. But when her sister, fifteen-year-old Ace, declares she's ready to join the cause, Perrin has her reservations. First of all, the case she's picked involves not one, but three demonic foes. A tricky proposition for any new slayer. Second, something eerily familiar lurks at the heart of the infested town. A red-eyed presence that may or may not be the demon who murdered their brother a decade ago. Third, Ace refuses to listen. To reason, to orders, to sense. And in this line of work, one false move can get you killed.
Along with their exasperated father and an overeager grocery store clerk, Perrin and Ace set out to raise a little hell and bag a trio of baddies. But demons aren't the only ones to fear. A secret society has discovered their connection to an ancient bet. One involving their very souls. And as enemies close in on all sides, the Slates will need to trust each other and their training to stay one step ahead of the coming storm.
Set against the backdrop of 2010 Middle America, Slate Gray is a nostalgic tale of demons, driving and destiny. Will Perrin sacrifice herself to protect her sister? Will Ace make a deal with the devil to bring their brother back? Only time will tell.

*DOING LOTS OF EDITING RN*
Avery was having a very bad day. They gave up, whispering for somebody, anybody to help them, thinking an angel would appear, or they would be granted with good luck. The result was nothing like they anticipated.
When a friendly demon shows up, introducing himself as Cas, Avery doesn't know what to think. But, hey, they'll take any way to make their horrible day get better. And...it's nice to finally have a real friend.
Even though their personalities couldn't be more different, they soon become good friends. Cas is outgoing and funny, while Avery is more nihilistic and snarky.
Will they be able to, figuratively, fight their demons, or will the pressure to be someone else become too much?
