What's on the back:Fifteen-year-old Eve Evergold is cute, sassy and enjoying a busy social life. What she doesn't know yet is that someone close to her is an evil demon that only she has the supernatural power to defeat.
She needs to work out who it is - and fast. Because although there's something very attractive about the dark side . . . dating a demon?
Pure hell.
A piece from the book:
Eve and Jess didn't stop running until they'd turned onto Marigold Lane, where the church was. Eve could see the spire jutting up in front of the full moon. Gasping for breath, they slowed to a walk - a fast walk. Only one block to go.
Here the only light came from scattered windows in the houses - houses that felt like they were miles back from the street.
That's why the shadows feel thicker, Eve told herself. That's why it's darker now. That's the only reason. Except that didn't explain why the shadows looked like they were moving; twining around her ankles.
She glanced at Jess. Was Jess seeing what she was seeing? Eve didn't want to ask.
But the shadows were sticky. As if they were made of thick black treacle or something. Walking through them got harder with every step. And the shadows - they were murmuring.
No, Eve decided. The murmuring - all hisses and low moans - was in her mind.
But the murmuring continued. It deepened, grew louder . . .
And then Jess screamed.
