Description from the amazon:
Lucinda Dent never planned to call demons. She wasn’t stupid, after all. She’d seen what the addiction had done to her mother. But her mother has been gone for ten years, sucked into hell by a demon, and all Lucinda has left is her grandmother and the house she grew up in. Who could blame her for using the only thing her mother gave her, a talent for demon calling, to save them?
Lucinda teams up with an old friend and together they set up business, calling demons. But soon things go terribly wrong.
Demons are loose in Caldera High, and not only is Lucinda responsible, she just might be in love with one of them. Can love conquer all or is Lucinda about to lose everything--her home, her new love, and her soul?
Authors Note: This novel is dark urban fantasy with romantic elements. It contains both swear words and sexual situations. It is not squeaky clean.
Amusing quote:
With no other plan, Brittany convinced me doing some research was a better bet than charging into the school, holy water boiling and crucifixes blazing.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): entwined
I liked this dark demon tale. It was a good intro to a world of demons as I didn't really know any lore about them before.
The character growth was interesting to watch and I would be love to read a sequel or series to see how she develops.
