A half-demon teenager learns the dangerous secret of her true powers in this ?unusually profound urban-fantasy . . . thoughtful, scary and captivating? (Kirkus, starred review). Jael has always felt like a freak. She?s never kissed a boy, she never knew her mom, and her dad?s always been superstrict?but that?s probably because her mom was a demon, which makes Jael half demon and most definitely not a normal sophomore girl. But on her sixteenth birthday, a mysterious present unlocks her family?s dangerous history?and Jael?s untapped potential. What was merely an embarrassing secret suddenly becomes a terrifying reality. Jael must learn to master her demon side in order to take on a vindictive Duke of Hell, while also dealing with a twisted priest, best-friend drama, and a spacey blond skater boy who may have hidden depths.
