He knows he is dead but how or why he doesn’t know. He also knows he spent time in Hell and doesn’t know how or why he is back from there. He knows he now inhabits the body of a man called Michael. He knows he was a successful businessman before he died but now he hunts monsters.
Michael takes note of the suicides of students at a University in Oakland and knows there is more to the story. He knows he needs to go to the Uni to investigate and sets about making sure he gets a job there as a psychology professor. There he meets Lacy an assistant professor in the psychology department who he forms a friendship with. Michael mentions to Lacy that he has noticed that one of the students seems to be acting strange. Lacy notices the same thing and lets Michael know what she has seen.
Michael learns that a demon is involved and he calls in his friend Evo for help. Together as they investigate they realise they are all in danger and are in a battle for their lives. Evo calls in a favour and they meet Alethia who agrees to help them. After ending up back in Hell, Michael is saved but Evo ends up stuck there. When Michael trades his own life for the one he loves he is once again pulled from entering Hell and finds out who and what he truly is.
Can Michael fight the demons and find his way back to the one he loves? Will Evo be saved from a life in Hell?
I enjoyed this book. It is action packed full of all sorts of paranormal beings. I want to read the next book to see where this story goes.
