It’s not easy being
life’s own personal joke, but Josette Landry has made an unstable peace
with the beast. Life will continue to throw every bad thing it has at
her, and she will continue to not put her head in an oven. But that’s
okay. That which doesn’t kill her will just require a few hours of
mental insanity. Completely down on her luck, Josette takes a job with a local paranormal group trying to get their own cable show as a
photographer and camerawoman. Yeah, they’re even crazier than she is.
The only paranormal thing she believes in is the miracle that keeps her
rusted out hoopty running. But when her group accidentally releases
something truly evil into the world, they are forced to call in
reinforcement.
From the moment Josette meets Cadegan, she knows
something about him isn’t quite right. And it’s not just because she
can’t even begin to pronounce his last name: Maboddimun. Mysterious and
armed with lethal sarcasm, he seems a lot older than his apparent age...
Centuries ago, Cadegan sold his soul for vengeance against the betrayer who
cursed him. Forced against his will to do good, he hates everything in
life. All he wants is a way out. But for the damned there is only
eternal suffering. And yet there is something about Josette that
intrigues him as much as it irritates and frustrates him. Something he
can’t seem to fight, and the last time he felt this way about a woman,
it cost him his soul.
He knows he has to stay away from her, but
the evil her friends unleashed is hellbent on consuming her soul.
Something he cannot allow. If one more innocent is taken, he will be
sent back to an unimaginable prison that makes his current hell look
like paradise. But how can he keep her safe when his being with her is
the greatest threat of all?
