Fia Drake, Soul Hunter

He followed her in, and now he's dead. Small but fiery, Fia Drake is a natural when it comes to hunting the souls of the damned. Trained in a convent to wield a crossbow with frightening efficiency, her routine is clear-cut and effective: track target, neutralize, find live music and a sexy stranger, rinse and repeat. Tedious? Maybe. But, it's safe. It helps her keep a healthy distance from others. Whether it's blood on her hands or muddled emotions, if there's one thing Fia doesn't want, it's messiness. But humans are messy, and demons are worse. When unknown enemies and allies start appearing on her jobs, Fia is, forced to get up close and personal. In doing so, she makes two mistakes. Mistake #1 She takes her mind off her target, and it almost costs her life. Mistake #2 Her thoughts keep returning to a mysterious chivalrous drummer she sent packing after a night of fun. It dredges up her turbulent past, forcing her to face her inner demons. Will her connections to the drummer and demons be her salvation-or a one-way ticket to hell?

The hunt is on: who is the predator; who is the prey? Convents, crossbows, and creeps-all in a day's work when it comes to hunting damned souls. Quick-witted and always on the go, Fia Drake's whole life has revolved around independence. Now that independence is being threatened. First it was a fiery phoenix breaking through her window. Now, it's a shimmering, winged being beckoning her back to the community she left in her teens. Worse yet, she is asked to become a mentor to a new generation of soul hunters. If it were up to her, she would just skip town. Unfortunately, two complications prevent her from leaving: Complication #1: A message from the tarot reveals someone close is plotting against her, and the best way to uncover a traitor is to stand by their side. Complication #2: The drummer in her bed isn't going away. Max Hawkins, her unrelenting knight in scuffed sneakers, refuses to let her fight alone. With a shot of liquid courage and a blessed tattoo, can Fia work out who's hunting her-or will it all end in flames?
