Between the Moon and a Hellish Place (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068201417)

A stunning Dark Fantasy debut; Between the Moon and a Hellish Place is dark, action-packed and full of heart. Brimming with morally grey characters, found family and a dash of rivals to lovers; it is perfect for fans of The Invocations and Little Thieves. It is Supernatural (The CW) but British and from the monsters perspective. It is Florence & The Machine: Ceremonials in book form.

Cissa Strange made a deal with a demon and she will stop anyone who tries to save her soul.

The day she became a werewolf she made a bargain to bring her brother back from the dead...partly. Turning him into a vampire counts, right? Now, every full moon she is possessed - with deadly consequences.

It's the way it has to be. As long as Cissa Strange is a villain, her brother is alive.

Takxis Dyme made a deal with the same devil she did. He saved the life of his estranged older brother, the owner of The Moon Rise Hotel, a sanctuary for packless werewolves where Cissa has made her home. The problem is: Takxis has spent the last decade trying to break free of his deal, risking everything they sold themselves to save. His arrival will ruin everything.

The secret is out. Their loved ones will do anything to save them. But Cissa will not put her brother's life on the line by breaking her contract with Hell. She will stop anyone who tries to rescue her...and hopefully keep everyone alive in the process.

Even when the freedom Takxis seeks begins to tempt her and the growing attraction between them becomes more complicated, Cissa is reluctant to give up the illusion of safety the demonic pact offers. In the end, stopping her found family could be what cements her place in Hell for good.

Book One of Behemoths & Bargains, an Occult/Dark Fantasy series about processing trauma, for anyone who has ever felt like a monster, or felt the weight of a monstrous world pushing down on them.
