A half-demon teenager learns the dangerous secret of her true powers in this โunusually profound urban-fantasy . . . thoughtful, scary and captivatingโ (Kirkus, starred review).
Jael has always felt like a freak. Sheโs never kissed a boy, she never knew her mom, and her dadโs always been superstrictโbut thatโs probably because her mom was a demon, which makes Jael half demon and most definitely not a normal sophomore girl. But on her sixteenth birthday, a mysterious present unlocks her familyโs dangerous historyโand Jaelโs untapped potential.
What was merely an embarrassing secret suddenly becomes a terrifying reality. Jael must learn to master her demon side in order to take on a vindictive Duke of Hell, while also dealing with a twisted priest, best-friend drama, and a spacey blond skater boy who may have hidden depths.
