eBook Description: Blaze Golden thinks she's been temporarily banished from her Hellish realm of Mon to the boring, monotonous realm of the humans. Now she's stuck with no allies and a powerless body. However, when a familiar face--in the form of fellow demon, Igor--reaches her with bad news, Blaze's life is thrown into turmoil. Apparently, she's not going to serve a short sentence on the human realm, but has been banished because of an ancient, lost myth. One that claims the Dark Goddess who will come into her powers of ruling every realm in Hell is actually her. Now she must seek the help of a handful of humans that believe in the supernatural and delve in the occult. Carlee the odd aging psychic, Father Ovher a priest who's seen more of demons than angels, and Faith a fellow workmate with a disturbing secret of her own, must find a way to transport Blaze and Igor back to Mon before the day of her 666th anniversary. An almost impossible task since every portal has been closed in-and-out of Mon by the Hi-Off. If only she could just indulge in the wonderful dreams filled with the sensual desires the incubus Reed was able to provide, and forget everything else...

Demons have a really bad reputation.

There's a certain negative vibe associated with the mere mention of the word, a thread of fear spread about their intentions towards humans. There's even a branch of study devoted to them by scholars who make up whatever they don't know as fact ... and from my experience, that's usually a lot!

I mean, is anyone actually falling for the whole demonic seal depending on which legion each demon belongs to? I don't think so. Hell isn't the kind of place where little badges are handed out to mark one legion from another. And the conflicting accounts with demon names linked to certain grimoires or months of the year? Come on! King Solomon might've known a demon or two but I can tell you right now, he didn't control or enslave a single one of them with some bullshit ring. If anything, these so-called demons would've been in total control while building the temple he adored so much.

My conclusion to the endless speculation is simple: humans only know--or think they know--what a bunch of internet sites list as fact, or what weekly TV shows present about them. This usually boils down to the limitless imagination of a human mind.

I should know. I've seen the fictitious ugly and deranged things they come up with--warts, scales, horns and all. These make great visual effects onscreen, but are as far from the truth as crop circles are related to aliens. In real life you wouldn't be able to pick out a demon in a crowd. Most of us blend in quite well, at least when we visit this place. We like to dress in human clothing, which for the majority extends to more than just an Armani suit.

I pretty much look like you--two arms and two legs. I only have one head, standard facial features and even a voice--go figure! Sorry to disappoint but there's no tail or goat horns. Just a head full of dark natural locks--laced with streaks of glowing ruby--framing a face that holds eyes the darkest shade of brown. They lean more towards crimson, if anyone in this realm bothered to look long enough. But most people don't stare my way. Some don't even glance. They're always too busy rushing around like mice in an overcrowded cage.

Humans don't know how to enjoy the life they're given. There's always somewhere else they'd rather be, something else they could be doing. I suppose being stripped of the ability to live hundreds and even thousands of years can do that to a species. Cramming in as much as they can during the seventy or so years they're given of life tends to stir anxiety. What none of them realize is that there's more waiting.

This is child's play compared to what awaits in the hot realm of Hell--which by the way, is where most end up. Sure, a select few wind up in the soft, cool realm of Heaven but it doesn't have anything to do with how many times they attended church or how many prayers were spoken, silently or otherwise. That's just another control tactic established by mere men. I'm a bit scratchy on the exact criteria to enter the Above-world, but none of the man-fabricated commandments and long list of sins has anything to do with the soul's final destination.

I've never actually been to Heaven, but I have met a few angels in my time, and it comes highly recommended. Even though only one of them was brave enough to reveal its true identity to me. The others like to blend in with the crowd, and I'm not talking about a city street. I met this particular angel in Hell, where he popped in for a vacation.

I guess even paradise gets a little old sometimes. But that story's for another time.

So, back to my original point ... do you think you could spot me in a crowd? Go on, I dare you to try--
