Delaney Murphy has always known she's the Devil’s daughter. And although the title itself is a burden, she never expects to inherit all her father's infernal abilities. When her newfound magic begins to poison the people closest to her, Laney must make a choice. To protect the world from the worst she can do, she leaves everyone she loves behind and builds a new life for herself, alone, in a place where she can control the urge to give in to the magic living within her.
But when she recognizes a familiar pattern in a string of murders, Laney leaves her peaceful, isolated life behind and goes on the hunt, unleashing a threat she never dreamed possible. Confronting this menacing specter could mean giving in to temptation and becoming the one thing she fears most. Will she use her magic to do the right thing, even if it means hurting the ones she loves?

Review
I was really expecting this book to be about a bad-ass heroine but it wasn't. I feel like for the first half of the book there was no plot because nothing interesting was happening; Delaney was undercover trying to catch a murderer and then got 2 bodyguards from her father who is the devil. That's what happened for the first half of the book, so I was kind of disappointed at that point, but the story got better. The Devil had to get an identity and it was of a rock star who was supposed to be dead and he is separated from his wife. I was interested to read about the Devil and how he would be portrayed in this book and I'm happy that he was in the book quite often. Delaney lives in the real world and since she has abilities she prefers to live away from her loved ones including her mother and I liked that aspect of the story. She is not evil and her father is not portrayed as evil either and there is nothing mentioned about what the Devil does when he's away.
I was slightly disappointed because I had such high hopes for this book, I wanted to learn more about the Devil and I wanted more action. Cal a man that was sent to guard Delaney and some of their interactions were supposed to be funny but I didn't think it was. At this point I'm not sure if I'm interested in the next book.
