Jen Cooke hasn't been lying about her magical powers, per se. She's just been cheating on her annual tests to make it look like she can see Hellcreatures when she totally can't. After Magic Corp discovers her secret, she's immediately suspended — and then a Hellhound follows her home on the train.

A freak accident? A strange coincidence? Maybe. But if quitting Magic Corp is a death sentence, what happens if they choose to fire her?

Jen escapes only to find herself facing a fresh wave of Hellcreatures. It's a good thing that Simon, her colleague, shows up to save her. What a relief, right? Turns out Simon is a demon, which makes him her mortal enemy. Ugh, and she made out with him at a party that one time. Jen has nowhere else to turn. Simon's the only one she can trust. But if Magic Corp isn't really after her, then she's just made the worst mistake of her life.
