Love and magic always have consequences...

In book two of the Ash Grove Chronicles, life keeps getting more complicated for Joy Sumner and her boyfriend, former teen model Tanner Lindsey. Having a baby on the way is stressful enough, even without her father's disapproval of Tanner. When they learn that their unborn child may have been contaminated by the evil Melisande and that sinister forces are closing in, how can Joy stay safe until the baby is born?

At the same time, a disastrous tryst has driven apart Joy's best friends, William and Maddie. Now Maddie suspects that a demon has targeted William--but since he won't let her get close to him, can she warn him in time that his life is in danger?
