Wild Ride

by Jennifer Crusie

First published 2010

Mary Alice Brannigan takes a job restoring Dreamland, a crumbling amusement park that seems like any other renovation project. She doesn't believe in supernatural forces and expects nothing more than peeling paint and broken rides. Instead, she discovers the park serves as a prison for the five Untouchables, demons of unmatched power from ancient times. A romantic attraction complicates her situation when she falls for a man hiding dangerous secrets about his true nature. Her troubles multiply as she confronts a corrupt politician, a mystical raven, government agents operating in shadows, a sorceress still learning her craft, and an inheritance she never wanted. Revelations about her own history shake everything she thought she knew about herself. Her personal relationships crumble while actual demons threaten to destroy the park and escape their bonds. Mary Alice must face immortal evil and learn the truth every amusement park visitor knows instinctively.
