Think your landlord is a demon from hell? This one really is.
Samantha Martin is an imp. She
throws her gum on the floor of five star restaurants, bounces inflatable
holiday decorations down the highway at rush hour, and clips jaywalking
pedestrians with her car. Sam also likes
to kill people and keep their souls inside her for all eternity, but acting on
that particular urge will get her killed by the angels, who are determined to
rid the world of her kind.
Sam works hard to keep her human
identity realistic: she owns slum rental properties, and she is trying to get
her hot neighbor into the sack. When she kills a werewolf in an act of
self-defense, his pack leaders blackmail her into helping track and kill a
rouge angel. The very actions she must
take to appease the werewolves put her at risk of
being discovered and killed by the angels.
Because angels show demons no
mercy.
