Book Description
Vanity isn’t even one of the seven deadly sins, but that’s what got Kenzie Sutcliffe into this mess... While trying to get rid of a monster zit, Kenzie drops her face lotion in the tub. And when fifty bucks’ worth of it swirl down the drain, it frees a demon from his prison portal. A mysteriously geeky looking demon. Now Kenzie’s saddled with a creature who looks and acts like every other guy she knows. At least Levi has a job—if you could call it that. He has to stir up envy and jealousy in humans...or he starves. All he’s tempting Kenzie to do is crawl back into her bedroom and hide there until forever.

Book Description
***Special Anniversary Edition With Bonus Story: Walker’s Love Connection*** Eighteen-year-old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your every day quasi-demon, part-demon and part-human, girl. For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter Heaven or Hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet. But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren’t enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds. What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy part-human and part-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla’s not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla’s going to shake up Purgatory. 100% HUMAN MADE -BUH BYE, AI...this book’s written by an actual human -NO MONOTONE AUDIO…the author reads her stuff and does all the voices -NEW WORLDS, EVERY TIME…this story introduces the after realms -PLUS, KICK-ASS HEROINES…complete with sassy mouths, steamy kisses and killer right hooks Angelbound Origins In which Myla Lewis kicks ass and takes names 1.

Book Description
You knew it was wrong and can't understand why you did it. What drives us to do these wrong things? Why are we sometimes so out of control? Have you ever asked yourself these questions? Most of us have, perhaps on a daily basis. The Bible attributes our doing the wrong thing when we really want to do what is right to the influences of sin spirits upon our lives. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin (sinful spirits) living in me that does it. Ro. 7:20 NIV. . I call these sinful spirits Daily Demons (DDs). These DDs are Satan's little helpers who try to influence our decisions by continually sowing various sinful Daily Temptations (DTs) in our lives. The goal of this book is to make readers more keenly aware of these sinful influences that attacks and tempts them every day. We need to be aware of these influences and we must also understand how to resist and keep them under control. Problem is sin is very sneaky. It enters your life a little at a time and before you realize it you are surrounded by it. The danger in being around sin is you become use to it. Once you become acclimated to sin the next step is you begin to assimilate sinful acts
