When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons.Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds.What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is?

EXCERPT
Bonus Story Excerpt: Walker’s Love Connection
My tail and I always get along.
Until we don’t.
Take now, for instance. I drive my ancient station wagon, Betsy, through the
many strip malls and weedy lots that make up Purgatory. My ride is an un-pimped
junker whose radio stays eternally stuck on a polka station. As ‘Roll out the
Barrel’ blares from Betsy’s tinny speakers, my tail jabs my shoulder in time to
the music. This is its way of saying, I’m not happy with our destination.
My tail loathes trips to the Ghoul-E-Mart.
“Come on,” I plead. “I promised Mom to pick up milk from the Ghoul-E.”
Technically, our overlords sell us something called white liquid product.
Saying that I’m only getting milk makes zero difference to my tail. Right now,
it’s the star of its own little play called, Poke Myla’s Shoulder.
Jab, jab.
“We aren’t going to the Ghoul-E right away,” I explain. “We’ll hit the arena
first.”
There’s only one arena in Purgatory—it’s where warriors like me fight evil souls
and demons to the death. Is this an appropriate extra-curricular activity for a
high school junior?
Ah, no. But, that’s ghouls for you. Our overlords see their minions—meaning
quasi demons like me—as the equivalent of pond scum.
My tail pauses for a moment as it considers a potential arena visit. Then, it
acts in a way that says, what a load of B-S.
Jab, jab, jab.
Clearly, my tail has trust issues. It doesn’t believe we’re going anywhere near
the arena. And there are two reasons why I shouldn’t approach the gladiator
games right now. First, it’s not my day to fight. Second, even when I am
scheduled to go, I should only show up with my honorary older brother, a ghoul
named Walker.
But I have plans, people.
I turn onto a mostly-empty lot behind a tall ruin made of gray stone.
Purgatory’s Arena. I steer my wagon into a parking spot that’s hidden by tall
grass.
“We’re here,” I announce.
My tail gives me one last jab. Little by little, the arrowhead-shaped end turns
to scan beyond my shoulder.
And it goes nuts.
