Publisher Description: Jael has always felt like a freak. She's never kissed a boy, she never knew her mom, and her dad's always been superstrict--but that's probably because her mom was a demon, which makes Jael half demon and most definitely not a normal sophomore girl. On her sixteenth birthday, a mysterious present unlocks her family's dangerous history and Jael's untapped potential. What was merely an embarrassing secret before becomes a terrifying reality. Jael must learn to master her demon side in order to take on a vindictive Duke of Hell while also dealing with a twisted priest, best-friend drama, and a spacey blond skater boy who may have hidden depths. Author Jon Skovron takes on the dark side of human nature with his signature funny, heartfelt prose. Praise for Misfit "An impeccably paced and unusually profound urban-fantasy novel. Thoughtful, scary and captivating." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review |
