Ava didn't expect to find terrible secrets
about the fate of the souls she takes.
Or fall in love...
Soul-hunter Ava has retrieved hundreds of souls from demons, but has
never been assigned the dangerous mission for a Nephilim soul. She must hunt
down Keir since she needs his Nephilim soul to trade for her freedom.
When she arrives on campus and meets Keir, she also meets a strange
girl, Dahlia, who has an inexplicable hold on him. Unexpectedly Ava discovers
Keir holds secrets that are more valuable than his Nephilim soul - secrets she
could trade for the life she wants.
When she uncovers the true fate of the souls she takes back to her
superiors, Ava's world is turned upside down. She finds herself in the middle
of a war where the lines between good and evil are blurred and she only has two
choices...
Betray Keir and live or join his
battle and risk going to hell.
Excerpt:
Cool air blew Ava’s hair into her face as the door swung open. Her
neck tingled; someone was standing behind her.
“Ava.”
Ava turned. Keir’s face was centimeters from hers. His eyes. Sucking her in like whirlpools - she wouldn’t let him.
“You got a hair cut,” she said, flicking her fingers toward his
head.
“And yours is a different color.”
Memories of the night in the alley flew unbidden into Ava’s mind.
Their bodies didn’t touch but electricity flowed from him, reddening her
cheeks. Positive she saw a desire flicker across his eyes, Ava closed hers. Fuck. Make
him move away. She breathed deeply, inadvertently
inhaling his scent, sending more memories scattering across her mind and
spreading the heat deep into her belly.
Keir’s mouth turned up at one corner, aware. “I knew you were
listening. Dahlia didn’t.”
If he was expecting her to show surprise and yield he was wrong. “So
what did you decide? I think I missed the crucial part, where you decided if
you were going to get rid of me, or however Dahlia so delicately put it.”
“We didn’t decide anything, Ava.” He lifted an arm and set his palm
on the wall behind her.
Dizziness crept up, her breathing came in shorter bursts, unsure of
his intentions. His lips hovered close to hers, breath warm against her cheek.
“If you know who I am, why I came, why didn’t you kill me that
night?” she said hoarsely.
Keir stepped back, pupils dilated. “You came to take my soul,
correct?”
She squeezed her eyes shut. He knew the answer.
“You haven’t tried yet - why?” he asked.
Ava’s head scrambled through the fog to come up with a believable
response. One which would keep her alive.
