Eighteen-year-old Bitsy Butler has never quite fit in, not with the dragons who raised her, the druid who took her in, or even with the non-human members of the cirque noir punk band she thinks of as family. Her chance to prove she can make it on her own comes with her band’s first big solo tour. It’s all going according to plan when an angel walks into a bar and demands help with his demon problem.

If she doesn’t step up, a magical war will break out, threatening Arizona and all those who call it home. With the help of a human, a sexy dragon, and the members of her band, Bitsy must stop an angry mob of chaos demons before the band leaves for their next tour stop.

It’s nice to be needed, but Bitsy has no idea how to defeat the demons and she just might get herself killed trying. But then, at least one problem would be solved…

Fitting in doesn’t matter if you’re dead.

Magic Most Foul

“Guys. Guys. This book? You need it in your life.” – Julie, Bloggers [Heart] Books

the hard way in Suzanne Lazear’s debut novel, Innocent Darkness. A beautifully 
depicted glimpse into an alternate world where faery trees grant wishes but 
love is the strongest magic of all.” — Jeanne Stein, author, The Anna Strong
