THE EXORCIST meets THE DEAD ROMANTICS in Clay McLeod Chapman’s horror romance about a young man who thinks he’s met the love of his life only to find out she’s a demon, and must decide how far he's willing to go to make this relationship work.


Jordan suffers a traumatic accident on the job. It takes him a year to recover after dying for two minutes, and he’s just starting to feel like himself again. Well, there’s a black void in his heart he can’t seem to fill, but other than that, he’s ready to get back out into the world. His friends think he should meet someone, but he doesn’t think he’s ready. Until he encounters Lilith. The two share an instant connection and Jordan can’t wait to see her again. Except the next time he runs into her, she’s in a different body. Lilith is drawn to Jordan in a way she’s never felt before, the darkness of her existence attracted to the glittering black hole she sees in Jordan. She finds herself wanting more from him than just a one-night stand. How far will the two of them go—how much of themselves can they give to each other—to find love?
