It's a bad day on the job when a serial killer is gunned down right next to you. But it's a truly hellish day on the job when you find his ramblings about being possessed by a demon were all too true - and that demon is now inside you! Eden Riley is a skeptical psychic who is now walking around with a thousand year old demon as a passenger, when he's not walking around on his own in the form of a super sexy man. She's in over her head as the world of the supernatural comes crashing down around her.

Three hundred years ago an angry, vengeful witch tried to destroy the demon Darrack. She succeeded partially - he has been left without a body, forced to inhabit a human's. Until now he has been mostly a bystander.
Eden Riley is a sometimes psychic who doesn't put much faith in her own abilities. After being fired from her psychic hot line job, she is now working as a police consultant. A simple find-and-seek case gets a lot more complicated when her powers actually work, revealing the missing serial killer. A confrontation by knifepoint, and a well placed bullet later and the killer is dead. Little does Eden know that her life is about to change forever.
It seems that Eden's psychic powers give Darrak a major boost- by day he is able to take corporeal form. Now they must work together to find the witch who can undo this curse and set them both free. There's also a handsome detective Eden is interested in, a mother/son exorcist duo and a determined black cat.
For being thrust into a shit storm of epic proportions, Eden adjusts remarkably well. Any other person would be a babbling mess, sucking their thumb in the corner. Eden is a shy, somewhat nerdy, mostly awkward woman who shows surprising fortitude in the face of danger and just plain craziness.
Darrak, despite numerous secrets and even blatant lies, is a character I really liked. Being stuffed into humans for over 300 years has caused a bit of humanity to rub off on him and softened some of his more evil demon tendencies. He's protective of Eden, even territorial. This book had it all: romance, action, comedy, and an interesting plot that kept my attention until the very last page.
The second book in the series, Something Wicked, was released October 2010.
