Part of Dark-Hunter, book 23
First published 2014
Josette Landry has made peace with being life's punching bag. She takes a job as photographer for a paranormal investigation group hoping to land their own cable show. Josette believes the only supernatural thing in her world is whatever keeps her beaten up car running. Then her employers accidentally release genuine evil into the world. They call for backup. Enter Cadegan Maboddimun, a man whose unpronounceable surname is the least mysterious thing about him. Armed with cutting sarcasm and centuries of experience, Cadegan sold his soul long ago for revenge against the person who cursed him. Now he's forced to do good against his will. He knows he should avoid Josette, but the entity her friends unleashed wants to devour her soul. If Cadegan fails to protect another innocent, he'll be sent to a prison that makes his current torment look pleasant. The problem is that staying close to Josette may be the most dangerous choice of all.
