Demon leader Adam Ashton has Namika Strang locked in a gilded prison, but
Namika possesses magic to free herself—if she can elude the cold, predatorial gaze that sends shivers across her skin, and the kisses that leave her head spinning with confusion.

When her escape attempt goes terribly wrong, she is forced to accept Adam’s brand to stave off a blood curse that will turn her into a ghoul. They embark on a desperate search to break the curse. Instead, they discover secrets that could send her to hell as surely as the ghoul blood searing her veins…

My meeting with my journalism professor leads me nowhere but a fake “office” with no way out—and a killer at the door. A masked killer I’ve been digging into for the scoop of the century. What’s an intrepid reporter to do? Escape—then leave him a voice mail to arrange an interview. I can’t be the only one wondering why he uses playing cards to force his victims to choose how they’ll die. So begins my tale of an interview with a murderer. And the mystery of whether my heart will succumb to his sensual pleasures—or his knife.
