Ruthless, foulmouthed, and sometimes drunk. That’s me on a good day. Just imagine what I’m like on a bad day. My name is Reika. I don’t know who I am anymore other than the following facts: I’m unlikeable. I used to be a member of the Yakuza. I think a succubus has a thing for me. The police shot me six times. After my discharge from the hospital I learned that I had the unique talent to control fire. That’s right, a modern day pyromancer. I have no idea where these powers came from, the doctor that worked on me upped and vanished, along with all records of me ever being admitted to the hospital. That’s when shady people from the shadows began to stalk me, some even had the balls to attack me. Don’t worry, I flambéed them all, I can take care of myself. What I am worried about are the people of New York City. Who’s going to defend them when my war with these shadow people reaches a boiling point? I don’t want to be a heroine. I just want my life back.

Paranormal private eye, vigilante, anti-heroine, and demon girl. That’s a four-in-one package. Shop around, you can’t find anyone else offering that! It’s been seven months since demons tried and failed to ravage New York City. The remains of their demonic faction are still around though, causing silly problems as a sign of protest and forging alliances with criminals. I deal with the small stuff the cops can’t be bothered with, like the disappearance of a young woman from the Russian community of Little Odessa. Demons are involved. The Russian Mafia doesn’t want me involved. People in the area don’t like me. But guess what? I’m the only one with the magical talents needed to bring this woman back home. Hopefully, I can live long enough to get paid. You don't mess with demons and the Mafia and expect to walk away. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tuesday for me in a nutshell.

When you’re on the other side of the law and need demons taken care of. You don’t go to the cops. You go to New York City’s unfriendly neighborhood vigilante PI, with demonic magic . . . That's me in case you didn't know. The Yakuza and Russian Mafia have turned the streets of New York into a bloody war zone, while the demons that started the war work in the shadows to move forward with their plans. The Yakuza has made me an offer I can’t refuse. Help them solve the murder of one of their members. Imagine my surprise when every possible suspect is a demon, including the nine-tailed Kitsune, a shifter that will stop at nothing to prevent me from solving this case. And if I don’t solve this case quickly the Mafia wars will start claiming the lives of innocent people; starting with my family.

The people of New York City are vanishing. And I have no idea why. At first, I thought it was the work of demons until a bunch of them ended up dead. Their attackers all used magical powers but weren’t demonic in origin. It goes against everything we knew about the paranormal world. There’s a new threat in town. They have magical powers and they aren’t demons. I need to find out who they are, what they’ve done with the missing people, and why they’re slaying demons. I need to go undercover and deceive them, and I need to do it fast before New York’s population goes to zero. The clock is ticking. This is going to be my most mind-boggling case yet. Could you imagine a city like this without people? Yeah, it’s creepy as hell, and I got to fix it.

A war between demons and the fae has been declared. And here I thought it was going to be a peaceful Tuesday night. The fae has summoned a sexy but deadly gunslinging demon hunting girl to cull the demonic presence in New York City. Not a big deal I thought at first, hell, it makes my job easier. Then I remembered I’m a half-succubus, and my best friend Emily, is a shapeshifting demon cat. We just got placed at the top of the fae’s hit list. The ruthless demon hunter will rip apart the city to get to me. And if they can’t kill me? Then they have orders to kill my family and friends. This is a nemesis I can’t defeat alone. I need new allies. I need to end this war. I need to resurrect Lilith to help me. And I need to do it before I lose any more friends than I already have to the fae and demon war.

Pushed into a corner and cut off from my friends. My enemies are going to regret doing that. New York City is under siege by rogue fae who infiltrated the FBI. Every time I try to fight back, I lose and make the situation worse, and I’m starting to understand why. Inside me lays the worst enemy this city has faced. Myself. There’s an ancient succubus soul inside me, and she’s come out to play with the lives of New York’s population. It’s time I accepted that I’m not the heroine everyone wants me to be. I’m the villain, and I have been from the start. To save this city and my friends, I need to defeat myself. No matter the cost.
