The devils aren''t in the details. They''re in my bed...When my warlock foster father trades me to demons for his outstanding debts, I find myself in Hell on Earth. I''m thrust into a supernatural underground crime ring I can''t get out of, eternally bound in a contract I never made.Three hot-as-hell demons stand in between me and my freedom.A tattooed, brutish Hellhound shifter. An incubus with the power to bend wills on command. And the heir to Lucifer''s throne-the original sin demon, Pride, himself. I have to find a way out of the deal before they devour me, body and soul.But I''m no angel. There''s something inside me, something that craves the chaotic darkness these demons possess.Escaping may mean giving in to Hell''s more sinful temptations. But playing with fire only hurts if you get burned...

It was the book that this author had sought, for over a decade previously... The 2nd edition of this book continues to do now what it did for so many on first publication - it bridges the gap between ''Celtic'' NeoPagan nonsense, and authentic Irish Pagan Practice.
