When teenager Kaylee screams, someone dies...So when teen pop star Eden
dies onstage and Kaylee doesn't wail, she knows something is dead wrong.
She can't cry for someone who has no soul. The last thing Kaylee needs
right now is to be skipping school, breaking her dad's ironclad curfew
and putting her too-hot-to-be-real boyfriend's loyalty to the test. But
starry-eyed teens are trading their souls: a flickering lifetime of fame
and fortune in exchange for eternity in the Netherworld - a consequence
they can't possibly understand. Kaylee can't let that happen, even if
trying to save their souls means putting her own at risk.

About Rachel Vincent
Rachel Vincent learned to read at four years old, and wrote her first story at six. It was about a class field trip to the zoo. In addition to being her first experiment with the written word, it was also the first and only tale she illustrated herself--it turns out that her talents do not extend to the visual arts.
Since sixth grade, her reading interests have centred around the dark side of literature. In junior high, much to her teacher's distress, she wrote her very first book report about Carrie, by Stephen King. She devoured books about magic, vampires, and werewolves by the dozens. Monsters held a special fascination for her, be they human or beast. And eventually "I love these books" became "I think I can write these books," and she began creating fictional worlds of her own.
Rachel dabbled with short stories all the way through junior high, high school, and college, but didn't begin writing seriously until several years later, when she started her first novel. By the time she had completed four manuscripts, she knew she had found what she wanted to do with her life.
