Deception of the Dead: An Angels and Demons Urban Fantasy (Hellbound, #2) / Hellbound (ePub)

I know what you're thinking. But forget what you know about the Morningstar. This isn't a cute adaptation, this is my eternity, and being the half-demon daughter of a god isn't all it's cracked up to be. From privileged princess to weaponized demon hunter... it's time to prove I can fight my way home.

A princess of the Fire Realm isn't supposed to fall in love. I was promised to a son of the Cloud Realm to end a millennia's old war between the two. But fate had other plans for me. Now I'm being punished for my rebellion, and my banishment means an eternity on Terran cleaning up demonic messes until I hit my quota.

One thousand demonic souls banished back to the Fire Realm. That's the deal.

I'm almost there. I'm almost halfway home, and not a moment too soon. Three hundred years on Terran is starting to mess with my head.

But hey, we all have our demons.

...

The dead never sleep, and neither does evil… A serial killer is stalking the streets of Seattle, one who, very boldly, claims to be the Angel of Death. I know exactly where Azrael is, and it's definitely not Seattle. This imposter claims to be killing demons with God himself as his employer.

Liar, liar, pants on hellfire.

I'm the only demon hunter on Terran, pal. And "God" is most definitely not speaking to you.

This killer has a lot to answer for, and it looks like I'll be heading north, with my immortal love Adam tagging along. It's his assignment, sure, but this kind of thing is really more my speed.

I don't know why I thought I'd be able to relax in California, plus, I'm sick of all this… sunshine. Getting out of California might get Aluta off my back, too. He's peeved that I'm 'wasting my time' on human souls when there are demons to kill. He's probably right, but if I'm wasting time, I'd rather do it with Adam by my side.

From author Saralin Cook, Deception of the Dead is Book 2 in the ongoing Hellbound saga. Welcome to a world of magic, adventure, immortal love, mouthy (but loyal) feline sidekicks, and a kick-ass heroine saving the human world... one demon at a time.
