Her Soul to Take
496 pages
A deliciously dark, adrenaline-fueled descent into occult horror and monstrous desire.
What it feels like
Reading this feels like stepping into an R-rated 90s horror movie where the monster is the main attraction. It is a propulsive, dread-soaked ride that balances genuine occult terror with scorching, unapologetic smut. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of pine, blood, and brimstone, wrapping the reader in a claustrophobic yet thrilling embrace. The prose is visceral and direct, prioritizing high-stakes action and intense, boundary-pushing chemistry over flowery introspection. As the narrative plunges deeper into cult rituals and demonic bargains, the emotional texture shifts from desperate survival to a dark, intoxicating surrender. It is pure, unadulterated catnip for readers who want their paranormal romance to have actual teeth, delivering a morally black love interest and a heroine who learns to embrace the shadows.

About the book
Like Buffy or The Vampire Diaries but with tons more spice, a titillating fork-tongued demon, and a ritualistic monster cult, the edgy dark romance that set Tiktok on fire is now here as a special edition with bonus content for fans of Scarlett St. Claire, Penelope Douglas, and Katee Robert.
The demon didn't just want my body. He wanted my soul.
My reputation among magicians is unblemished. Killer, they call me; killing is what I’m best at. One wrong move and you’re dead. Except her. The one I was supposed to take, the one I should have killed. The cult that once controlled me wants her, but I’m not about to lose my new toy to them.
I’ve always believed in the supernatural. Hunting for ghosts is my passion, but summoning a demon was never part of the plan. Monsters are roaming the woods, and something ancient—something evil—is waking up... and calling my name. I don’t know who I can trust, or how deep this darkness goes. All I know is my one shot at survival is the demon stalking me, and he doesn’t just want my body—he wants my soul.
