Demon Realm Crossroads Witch Book 4

How did I end up being one of the good guys? I'm supposed to be a demon. Just when we thought the threats we were facing might finally be gone, a magical attack forces us to realize we couldn't be more wrong. As if the supposed "Pureblood" witches would stop trying to take down magical mutts like us. Among them these days is our old friend, Zachary, and if he's behind the attack he's right in thinking we haven't forgotten how he betrayed us. Which may be why he decided to strike first. Like they say, there's no animal more dangerous than one who fears itself cornered. As if that isn't enough to have me stressing out completely, I take on a mission of mercy-because, you know, that's what the good guys do-taking me back to the one place to which I swore I'd never return. Namely, the demon realm, this time with Lolo, my very best cambion friend. Like I should be surprised when I find myself once again trapped. Because, hey, that place is basically Hell. But I don't end up ensnared in any way I ever could have imagined, as I end up being forced to play the part of an official bounty hunter serving the crown. To keep me in line, the death priests bind my soul to that of another. He's called a Sentinel and his job is to make sure I do mine, which means hunting the very same souls I came to protect. Of course, he doesn't know who I truly am, and if I don't manage to keep my identity secret I sure as hell won't be leaving Hell again. At least, not alive. Which means the same, of course, for Lolo and those we promised to save.

One chance. That's all I'll have. Along with a choice I can't possibly make. In just a few weeks, I've gone from living in a psychiatric hospital, to learning I have magic, to joining a secret society of witches. I've also had to come to terms with both what I am and where I came from. Half demon, half witch, born in the demon real-a magical mutation created for sacrificial purposes. It's so nice knowing that the woman who raised me only did so because she was planning to spill my blood on her sacrificial altar. So, yeah. No wonder I went crazy. Since joining the ranks of the Shadow Order, I've made friends and enemies. I also fell in love with a kind and sexy guy named Kai. Now, that love has been stolen from me by the same monsters that want to steal my magic. With the clock ticking down on what's left of Kai's life, I need to come up with a solution fast. So far, I've got nothing. Meanwhile, werewolves and vampires are turning up dead, seemingly at the hands of witches. Not surprisingly, those other tribes are calling out for blood. Like that's not enough, witches are being exposed and threatened by a new group calling themselves the Hunters. And what do they want, exactly? Just the eradication of our kind entirely. Then there's the deal I make with a Fae goddess, which at first looks like it might provide me with what I need to defeat my enemies. Instead, it leaves me facing an impossible choice. I'll have to either leave Kai to his fate or doom everyone else.

We all wrestle with our demons. Some of us get out there and fight them. The plan was to return from Faerie, let the dust settle, get over it and move on. So far, only the dust has achieved its goal. But my work is done in that realm and time spent missing Esras won't pay my rent. So when a supernatural cleanup job comes my way, it seems like just the distraction I need. Especially if, by distraction, I mean all hell breaking loose. When my veil witch magic fails me, not once but twice, I'm not sure what to think. Especially when I could swear it had help in failing. Then witches start going missing by what could only be veil witch magic. Not good, considering there's only supposed to be two of us. With demon sightings on the rise, not just here but in Faerie, it sure seems like the realms are destabilizing once more. Call me paranoid, but I'd bet someone is messing with the veil. The last shoe drops when a magical crime befalls someone I love. Then I make that call I never imagined making. I'm in way deeper than ever, and maybe the Shadow Order can pull me out. Because this time it's the High Demons I'm up against, and I'm far from convinced they're alone in their quest. Especially since the magic I'm facing now seems suspiciously like that of a High Mage I've faced before.

I used to think the Reaper was just a myth. Then I found out where she lives. When our vampire friend, Nora, reaches out for help, what choice do I have but to try? At least that's what I tell myself when I open a doorway into an unfamiliar realm. The result being that I reunite Nora with her long-dead vampire lover. Kind of weird, I know, but that's not the problem. Instead, it's that way more than one vampire soul comes along for the ride. Apparently, being dead didn't mean they weren't dying to escape from where they were being held. What I can't escape is the feeling that something not very nice is bound to be right behind them. While I'd love for that to be my biggest headache, far from it. Zachary and the Purebloods remain very much still out there conspiring to bring the Shadow Order down. Their new secret weapon takes the form of Silas, a rogue Veil Witch who until now has been kept locked up with his magic bound. Given that he's regained the power to teleport wherever he pleases while summoning demons (no relation to me, I swear), Cassie may have finally met her match. Given that she's the strongest witch among us, this doesn't bode well. Add to that, vampires and werewolves suddenly start turning up dead. Why, we have no idea until we witness the arrival of a new supernatural entity entirely. And there we were thinking the Reaper was just a myth. Not so, although her mission is way different than anything we could have expected. Now, if we don't help her see it through we might have a supernatural war on our hands. The problem being, the same could happen if we do.

They say you can never go home again. God, I wish. With the body-hopping supernatural psychos finally vanquished, it seems like it might be time to relax. You know, have some fun. Hang out with my friends. Focus on my magical education. And, if all goes according to plan, take my relationship with Kai to the next level. Trust me, having spent my early twenties locked up in an institution, I'm more than ready to celebrate that particular rite of passage. But if I've learned anything in my short time in the world of witches, it's never to let your guard down. No sooner do we attempt to chill a little than we get a big, fat reminder that two bitter enemies remain very at large. Clearly, they haven't forgotten me either, since I soon end up in one of their videos using my magic for all the world to see. As intended, their little stunt puts me at dead center of the Hunter movement's crosshairs. With that kind of target on my back, no wonder I soon find myself cornered. My only means of escape involves jumping through the veil into my old stomping grounds, only to get stuck in that particular version of Hell. I also soon learn there are others there like me, cambions who very much need to be rescued. But in order to save them, I need to stay in monster form long enough to pull it off-my Demon Soul very much in the driver's seat. The problem being, I'm not sure if she'll ever let me take back the wheel. If not, then I can say goodbye to Kai and my human friends forever, since I'll be going full-on demon. Which means I won't be coming back, my new cambion friends will die, and the Hunters will keep hunting witches.
