Life can change in an instant. It can change when you least expect it. Sometimes it is for the best. I have been a keeper of many secrets since I was old enough to know what secrets were. No one knew the truth, knew the real me and what goes on behind closed doors. No one knows about the abuse I suffer at the hands of my father. No one knows about the cuts and scars I hide from the world. Why? Because I choose for it to be that way. To the outside world, I am your average teenager, but in reality, all I am is a broken girl with no one to love her, to see the real sadness in my eyes. Until him,Ryland, the new boy in town, the stranger that sees right through me from the moment we meet. We are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame, but the more I get to know him, the more I see I am not the only one fighting demons. He has his own. To start with, he was nothing but a pain in my ass, but day by day, we grow closer and become something that the others didn't realize we needed. A bond develops between us that becomes unbreakable. I don't think either of us realized that when two broken souls come together, it would be the thing that gets us both on the road to healing. He shows me something I haven't felt since my mum was still alive, something my father tried to make me believe that I didn't deserve, which is called love.

She has him walking the razor’s edge. And even the if unholy union has increased his magical powers—it’s slowly killing him both physically and mentally.

Praise for the Eric Carter series: “Blackmoore employs Chandleresque prose to smoothly incorporate a hard-boiled sense of urban despair into a paranormal plot, with occasional leavening provided by smart-aleck humor.” — Publishers Weekly on Dead Things "In a world where Aztec Mythology, dark magic and grim reality blend together, nothing is what it appears to be... Best of all, Blackmoore’s chillingly good storytelling skills ensures that fans will enjoy every step of this adrenaline fueled journey.” — RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) on Broken Souls “This series is so fucking good. Blackmoore can’t write these books fast enough to suit me. BROKEN SOULS is hyper-caffeinated, turbo-bloody face-stomping fun. This is the L.A-noir urban fantasy you’ve been looking for.” — Kevin Hearne, Author of The Iron Druid Chronicles "Carter’s wry voice is amusing as ever, but the grief he carries is palpable, adding depth and a sense of desperation to this action-packed adventure. Readers will be eager for more after this thrilling, emotionally fraught installment.” — Publishers Weekly on Ghost Money, Starred Review Series Order: 1. Dead Things 2. Broken Souls 3. Hungry Ghosts 4. Fire Season 5. Ghost Money 6. Bottle Demon
