THE TWICE-SOLD SOUL

There's only one thing more terrifying to McKenna Ellerbeck than being chased by bloodthirsty demons: her high school reunion.

McKenna Ellerbeck has been running from two literal demons for over a decadeone who wants to kill her and one who wants to win back her heart ever since her senior year of high school ended with unhinged magic and blood on her hands. When her ex, the Archdemon of Desire Remiel Blake, the sexiest of gender-shifting demons, finally tracks her down and demands she return to her fantastical hometown of Arcadia Commons, McKenna wants to refuse. But she owes Remi a deep debt, so like it or not, it's time to stop running. But McKenna's plans to lay low in disguise quickly go awry when her high school reunion starts to reveal the consequences of her disappearing act. Not only is her brother picking fights with the town's most prominent witch family, but her ex-boyfriend is engaged to her class's former mean girl, her best friend got married without McKenna there, and even more horrific beings are getting past the town's magical barrier, leaving a trail of madness behind them. As it becomes clear that a larger, darker force is hiding in their midst, McKenna decides it's finally time to face her past and the witches, werewolves, demons, and friends she left behind.
