Venom meets Supernatural in this high-stakes urban fantasy.Possessed by a demon since she was eleven years old, Mira Fuentes maintains a fragile alliance with the snarky soul who shares her body. Together they hunt down unstable Rifters-- demon-controlled humans bent on causing chaos in the mortal realm. But when a routine hunt leads to a powerful Rifter with plans for Baltimore, Mira quickly finds herself in over her head and at the top of the city's Most Wanted. Recently retired from the PTF after losing his partner, Ty Williams now works for the Baltimore PD and keeps his distance from cases involving magic. But when a person dies of clearly magical causes and the PTF doesn't have any agents to spare, Ty is the closest thing the department has to an expert. Saddled with a new partner he doesn't want and a mountain of self-doubt, it's his job to track down a suspect who looks suspiciously like the one-night-stand he brought home from the bar last night. Mira will have to set her trust issues aside and enlist the help of a man determined to uncover her secrets if she hopes to learn the identity of the demon's host and prevent the human race from becoming meat puppets for the denizens of the Rift.-----2023 Next Generation Indie Book Award Winner, Paranormal category2022 Colorado Authors League Award Winner, Fantasy and Paranormal categories2023 Colorado Book Award finalist, Sci-fi/Fantasy category-----"A fast-paced, engrossing, unexpected and tension filled magical work...A great read for every female lead Urban Fantasy enthusiast." -The Queen of Swords, NetGalley Reviewer "Braden delivers an expertly paced plot brimming with magic, gale-force fight scenes, and delicious romance." -Hunter J.
