Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Cami Anders uses one word to describe her life: Purgatory. What she doesn’t know is she’s closer to Hell than she thinks.
On the run from the demon that killed her parents, Cami struggles to find her place on the fringes of the Veiled Realm, the part of the world where demons and other creatures lurk in the shadows. Striving to find a normal life in the care of a former demon hunter, who would punch even an angel to protect her, is harder than Cami ever imagined. There’s nothing ordinary about sipping holy water like it’s her beverage of choice, having stare-downs with animalistic demons, and relying on a hunter with enough secrets to fill an ocean to keep her soul safe.
When the demon from Cami’s past arrives to collect her soul, which he believes is rightfully his, she must unravel the secrets her protector has spent the last three years keeping from her. She finds herself questioning her existence and learns that running isn’t the answer. The only way to find normalcy is if she fights for it. But is it worth the risk of losing everything, including her soul, in the end?

Excerpt:
Loud
banging outside my door interrupts my thoughts. I step into the narrow hallway
of our tiny apartment, maneuvering around stacked boxes that will never be
unpacked. Not if we have to move every couple of months. This is the third time
we’ve moved this year, and it’s not even halfway over. It’s the only way to
avoid demons. If we’re not on the run, they’ll come after us until I’m either
dead or tainted by evil. Or worse—they could leave me without a soul.
Alana perches on the
kitchen counter, sifting through the top shelf of the junk cabinet. Her
shoulder length blond hair hangs in a ponytail, the front half clinging against
her cheeks. She swivels sideways and glances over her shoulder.
“Fantastic morning,
isn’t it?” she asks. “Another peaceful, uneventful night.” Alana’s fuchsia
pajamas look as fresh and unwrinkled as they did last night, and I don’t know
why she bothers wearing them. The woman doesn’t sleep at night, only in the
morning, and even then she has insomnia most of the time.
“For you, maybe. I
spent a good thirty minutes convincing a demon that you’d kill it if it didn’t
stop staring at me through the window.” I wince, expecting Alana to start
screaming.
She turns on the balls
of her feet and jumps from the counter. She looks me up and down, checking for
signs of injury.
“You know better than
that, Cami,” she says. “If you would’ve told me, I could’ve killed it. This is
bad. It might go after an innocent person or come back here.”
“It was only a lower
level demon. Not something the average person couldn’t fight off,” I say,
despite my better judgment.
“That kind of thinking
will get you killed. I’ve spent too long keeping you safe to let that happen.
You have to tell me these things.”
“Fine, whatever,” I
say. Alana is persuasive when it comes to doing the right thing to protect
myself from demons. The promise of injury, death, and the loss of my soul
always seems to do the job. It’s still effective, even though I’m now seventeen
and no longer the naïve fourteen year old girl she rescued.
I watch Alana pull an
empty water jug out of the refrigerator and shake it. Small droplets of water
pelt the sides, creating a soft drumming sound. She tosses it into the trash
before looking up at me.
She sighs. “Where’s the
rest of the holy water?”
“I drank it,” I say.
“What? Oh, never mind.
Go get dressed. We have to get more supplies.”
