Summary
from Goodreads:
Open your eyes to darkness. What do you see? Does the darkness frighten you? Now imagine the darkness being the cargo hold of a slave ship. Your city has fallen. Your family is most likely dead. You don't know anyone around you, and some of them aren't even human. Giving up would be so easy to do, but not for Arowyn Mason. Not after being raised in a military family with seven brothers. Every great story should begin with a plan. Aro's was to escape and to survive.
Open your eyes to darkness. What do you see? Does the darkness frighten you? Now imagine the darkness being the cargo hold of a slave ship. Your city has fallen. Your family is most likely dead. You don't know anyone around you, and some of them aren't even human. Giving up would be so easy to do, but not for Arowyn Mason. Not after being raised in a military family with seven brothers. Every great story should begin with a plan. Aro's was to escape and to survive.
Escape comes, but at a price. As they reach the shore, Aro and the other survivors learn that freedom doesn't mean safety. The slavers want their property back and will do anything to get it. The party uses every ounce of their brute strength, a hearty helping of cunning, and even ancient magics to keep themselves alive. Sickness, danger, and even love surprise them at every turn. Dealing with danger becomes their way of life, but none of them ever considered that nothing can be quite as dangerous as a prophecy. Running turns into another race altogether as her world falls to pieces again and again.

Excerpt:
Her
eyes opened to darkness.
She
wasn't surprised. When bad things happened and you finally opened
your eyes it was always dark wasn't it? Because otherwise when you
woke up you wouldn't be scared, not right away, not until you
remembered. Yet in darkness nothing else could be seen but the
memories of what had happened, it didn't matter if you opened your
eyes or kept them squeezed closed.
What
happened…
She
closed her eyes again, not against the memories, but the sudden tears
and choking sobs. Still, she tried to not
remember,
but her head hurt. All of her hurt, but her head hurt the worst.
She'd been hit by something, very hard. She had no trouble
remembering the pain. She remembered falling to the ground, her
brothers screaming her name over the insane loudness of the fighting
and everything fading to nothing as darkness claimed her.
She
sucked in a deep breath. The fighting. Yes, the city had been
attacked. The walls had been breached. There had been fighting in the
streets. She had
been fighting. Her brothers had been trying to get her out. They had
been so close. Had they?
She
shifted and froze, terror creeping up her throat and choking her at
the same time until nothing but a strangled gurgle came out.
They
had not.
She
knew because she felt the cold metal shackles around each wrist, felt
the weight of the chain between them. The same fetters bound her
ankles. Dirty straw prickled her cheek and the other smells of her
surroundings overcame her. They overwhelmed her and made her gag. The
rank scents of piss, shit and vomit almost covered the stale reek of
sweat and the tang of salt.
Salt.
She'd
thought her head had just been spinning, but no, everything moved,
lurching and swaying. She was at sea.
At
sea in chains meant only one thing. The rumors had been true. The
Gelanians had allied with the Franuan Slavers. Beneath the combined
attack, Kingsport had fallen and the Frans had taken their cut,
citizens to sell as slaves. She was a slave.
Well
that sucks.

Summary
from Goodreads:
It
was only a wish.
Connor Sullivan was painfully average. The very highlight of his existence was going to school, doing homework, and playing video games. He thought nothing would ever change that. Unfortunately, homework usually screws everything up.
A cut, some blood, and a hastily scrawled promise to sell his soul for his fondest wish...and all hell breaks loose. Literally.
The Demons take him up on his offer.
In a last ditch effort to keep his soul, he wishes to become one of the demons, or Fallen as they call themselves. Connor thought he had found a solution to his problem. He never fully understood the meaning of the phrase, "From the frying pan into the fire," until his wish was granted. The biggest catch?
Never ever fall in love with a human...
And then she walked into his school. Beautiful, red-haired, funny...and blind. Connor's heart didn't stand a chance. Neither did the Fallen's rules. He had saved his soul, but could he find happiness without hurting the girl he loved? Or would secrets Jessica didn't even know she had destroy them all?

Excerpt:
Prologue
Ever
have one of those bad ideas just pop into your head? You know the
ones. They seem like a great idea at the time, but if you had stopped
to think about it a moment…
I'm
talking about those ideas where you just seize the moment and do what
your heart tells you to. Then, after the dust settles and you get
bandaged up, your parents say, "What the hell were you
thinking?"
"But,
Dad, I wasn't!"
I
had one of those moments.
I
guess if you want to be technical, I had a whole chain of those
moments leading up to the big bang moment. The problem was I didn't
have anyone standing around saying, "What the hell were you
thinking?"
The
moral of this story?
There
are several.
First,
stores don't sell black candles for a reason. They're bad news. If
you happen to come across one in the mall that sells questionable
items…walk away. Trust me on this one. Black candles are bad.
Second,
always know what you want out of life. Coasting along, not caring
about anything will get you into trouble. Maybe more than you can
handle.
Lastly,
if someone offers to grant you your fondest wish, wish for something
you really, truly want. Wish for something that will make the world a
better place or you a better person. Never ever wish to be a monster…
