Vengeance — Denise Tompkins

The demons that haunt you don't have to be your own.

Maddy Niteclif's world has changed so radically she's no longer sure she recognizes the face staring back at her in the mirror. Pale skin, wide eyes, new scars, and even newer wounds. They'll heal. It's the invisible wounds--the ones that disfigure the soul--that pose the most danger. Hell's higher thinkers have organized. They're seeping into the paranormal world, bypassing easy targets as they run larger prey to ground. Maddy is caught in a mad scramble to identify the next target before the demons find the individual. But when the demons' mark is someone from under her roof, she finds just how far she'll go to protect those who belong to her. Maddy is about to learn the most difficult lesson yet: loving someone, seeing his scars ripped open and watching as he's driven to his knees...it hurts. To save his life means she'll have to sacrifice the only other man she's ever loved. There's only one guaranteed way to ensure both men survive, but it will require the ultimate sacrifice. Herself.
