And when he does, we get to see what happens when a demon takes over a body and comes face to face with things we deal with every day. Kiriel heads north-you know, to where we live on the surface of the planet-for a little rest and relaxation.
Kiriel, you see, is a demon whose sole job is to hang out in hell and make sure people are sufficiently tormented. Is it cleaning toilets? Babysitting your snot-nosed brother every day after school? Picking up all the dog poop in the yard? No matter what terrible job you've come up with, we assure you that after reading Kiriel's story in Repossessed, you're going to count yourself lucky. If Gordon, the rookie who really is in his teens, can’t cut ties with his old life and accept his new limitations, Cole will have to discreetly dispose of the kid the same way a mad dog would be put down for the safety of society.Ĭole thinks he can handle it.Take a moment to think of the absolute worst chore you can think of. When Cole is asked to take a newly created heme out for training, however, his usual caution may not be enough. After a century of wandering he may still look like a teenager, but he’s known in the heme community for being observant, meticulous, and controlled a master of life on the road. The next six weeks will test Colt in a way he’s never been tested before, and how he gets through them is hilarious, poignant, and powerfully believable.įor a heme like Cole, life is a tightrope existence in which sunlight is his deadly enemy and one mistake could trap him underground, staring at the inside of a coffin lid, for eternity. His girlfriend has dumped him again, and his mother has told him that unless he can raise his GPA to a C, she won’t let him play baseball anymore. In this new novel from the acclaimed author of Damage, Colt Trammel’s life is falling apart. When the girl you’ve been in love with since seventh grade walked off mad, and as usual she’s going to stay that way till you crawl like a dog. When you can’t feel the whump! of the ball in your glove. When you can’t feel the shock of the bat running up your arm into your shoulder. There’s no way you can think about baseball when your body’s trapped in a hard chair in a quiet room, and you can’t move at all. Baseball is the only reason I’m still in school. Baseball is the only part of my life I have any control over.
