SYNOPSIS:

Casey kicked cancer’s ass. Now a demon wants to kick hers.

Casey hates being known as the girl who survived cancer. She wants people to treat her like her old self, fearless and strong. And after a creepy encounter with a crazy guy in an alley, Casey is all about reclaiming her power.

So when she has a chance to try out for the Apocalypsies roller derby team, she jumps on it. Being a derby girl would prove that she doesn’t need anybody’s pity. It doesn’t hurt that Michael, the team manager, is almost unnaturally hot. Which makes sense when Casey finds out that he’s not human.

Michael’s got a secret: he trains demon hunters. That crazy guy in the alley? Demon. And the fact that Casey went head to head with evil and lived makes her a threat to demonkind. Casey thought she’d already fought and won the battle of her lifetime. But it’s only beginning.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?

Why wouldn’t you check this out?  Roller derby girls are the among the most bad ass women out there.  With one as a demon hunter, we feel bad for the demons who try to go against her.  Casey has fairly big shoes to fill, following in the footsteps of the Buffy—which we’d be surprised if the novel isn’t hoping to do!

This cover is just fun!  The black dragons-and-flames emblem really pops, especially against the fierier backdrop.  We see Casey is all ready to get out there and skate… or kick some demon ass.  Whichever is fine by us.

Author Carrie Harris previously wrote the Kate Grable series, which includes the zombie novel BAD TASTE IN BOYS.
