Days of Iron and Clay

From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes an all-new action-packed, romance-filled paranormal series. There are three things I know without question. One: demons are real. Two: humans make awful mistakes that get them in demonic trouble more often than you'd think. And three: I'm the only one who can help them. I straddle the line between the mortal and spiritual realms every day. People might think they're two different places, but they're not. They lay on top of each other. It's messy, and that's why so many people need my help. Since I was little, I've been called all kinds of names-unusual, abnormal, even insane. Which is fitting, since they keep throwing me in to mental facilities. I've been in and out of them my entire life. But no matter what people say, no matter what I'm risking, I will always help those in need. Because there's an endless war carrying on all around us, every minute of every day. One that can't be seen by mortal eyes. But I can see it, the spiritual battle for mortal souls, and I'm working hard to make sure my father is on the losing side. He-Astaroth, Satan's general, is why I can do this. He's why I'm not normal. I can't have friends, a life, or a boyfriend. I won't be selfish enough to drag someone into this fight. But I'm not lonely. Not exactly. I have my mom. She's my rock, my best friend, my partner. She helps me do what needs to be done, and she's never afraid when it feels like I'm always afraid. Because I hear my father whispering my name each night, his taunts echoing through the spiritual realm. He's hunting me, and I know the day will come when I must face him again. Every portal I open could be the one that finally pulls me back to Hell, and I wonder if I will brave enough, strong enough, good enough to fight him. My name is Samantha Catherine Lopez, and I am Nephilim. This is my story. **Fans of the “Alpha Girls” series will love this new series set in the same world, with a few familiar faces, but you DO NOT have to have read a single word of the “Alpha Girls” series to enjoy Samantha's story.

"Invocation is a brilliantly crafted, action-packed romantasy thriller you won't be able to put down." - Erin Michelle Sky, Author SAMANTHA I never thought I'd willingly walk into Hell again, but I did. I survived and am back where I belong-at home. But Gabe, my demon-dead friend, is still missing. And the guilt is crippling me. While I'm laughing and happy with my boyfriend, Gabe is suffering. While I'm resting and healing, Gabe is being endlessly tortured. But every plan I come up with is a suicide mission. And despite what it sometimes looks like, I'm not ready to die. So, when my werewolf friends ask me to help their pack with a problem, there's no way I can say no-even if I'm not ready to jump into another fight. There's a mysterious evil the werewolves can't track, and they need me to help them kill it. It's the perfect distraction. The only problem? Phoenix, a mortal, wants to go with me. Even though he's proven he can handle the supernatural, I can't help but think nothing good can come from him getting an even better glimpse of how not normal my work life is. But I can't say no to him; all I can do is pray Phoenix is still by my side when this is over. PHOENIX My life pre-Samantha was turmoil. Soccer career, over. Family life, devastated after the loss of my grandmother. Dating? Laughable. Every relationship fell apart because the door in my heart had been shut tight. I was unknowingly holding out for the one girl who had completely changed my world. Samantha is it for me; my heart knew it before I did. I'd go anywhere as long as it's with her. But her guardian angel, Eli, said something to me that makes me think something truly terrible will happen to Samantha. And I'm not about to let that happen. I'll do anything to keep her safe.
