Her handcuffed hands swayed to and fro as she tried to keep her balance while running across the slippery moss-covered ground. High wet ferns caught on her jeans, soaking her pant legs. Is he gone? Has he given up? She slowed her pace to listen. I don't hear anything. She breathed in shallow pants, glancing around for any movement, a shadow, anything to indicate that she was still being pursued. She laughed nervously. Shadows, huh? With demons around, there are more than just shadows to fear. With her last year of high school coming to a close, all Lisa McGrath could think about was being reunited with her college boyfriend, Jason Parks. She was grateful that no demons had been seen for almost a year in their sleepy little hometown. But all good things must come to an end. Lisa was thrust into a new widespread demon infestation. Whether she liked it or not, she found herself back in the role of a Demon Hunter. In clashes with the demon hoards, she faced danger and death at every turn. Adding to her struggle, her best friend had been kidnapped and sentenced to death under the orders of a boss demon. But the one thing the demons didn't count on was Lisa not playing by the rules.

Book excerpt: Tanya Huff, bestselling author of the Blood Price books, starts a new series where a street kid-turned-production assistant must juggle his vampire ex, a crush on a hot straight actor, and the potential end of the world... Working on a direct-to-syndication show about a vampire detective doesn’t much compare to Tony Foster’s past as an actual vampire’s lover. True, he’s still wrangling beautiful people with big egos and the power to crush him, but there are far fewer demons, and TV blood is just corn syrup. When shadows on set start moving independent of the people they’re supposed to be attached to, though, Tony can’t dismiss it as a trick of the light. Especially when he finds the beauty of the week dead in a locked dressing room. Before long, he’s discovered the head of the special effects department is an actual wizard, and brought in his ex, the vampire Henry Fitzroy, to help defend against an attack so terrifying survival seems unlikely. Tony will have to assist his butt off to give them anything like a chance. But being thrust into a spotlight doesn’t make him a hero...
