A Devious Descent - Paperback

by A. a. Powers (Author)

WHAT IF THE DEMON WHO'S MEANT TO KILL YOU IS THE ONE YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT?

FRANKIE HART thought monsters only lived in fairytales until the search for her missing brother reveals she is one of them. Not only is she half-demon, but her blood is tied to a prophecy that could destroy the mortal realm.

ZARRETH, a demon from the Dark Realm, was supposed to end the prophecy by ending Frankie's life. But when she turns to him for help, the line between hunter and protector blurs, and he starts to question everything he's been told about the prophecy, and about her.

TOGETHER, they must navigate a world where demons will stop at nothing to claim her power. As danger grows, a bond begins to form, one that feels less like chance and more like fate.

A DEVIOUS DESCENT is a contemporary romantasy full of witty banter, deep friendships, and heart-wrenching revelations... Oh, and let's not forget the spice! Trust me, it'll have you blushing.

Trigger Warnings: explicit sexual content, sexual assault, torture, graphic violence, murder, suicide ideation, mentions of child abuse and neglect, insinuations of rape. There's also a short scene involving pedophiles. However, no pedophilia takes place and children are not involved (and they all die so that's cool!). Not sure if vulgar language and smoking pot are triggering, but there's some of that too.
