About Death's Daughter (Children of the Old Ones, #1)

T he steamy mythology of Neon Gods meets the dark academia of The Coven in this dark contemporary romance from USA Today bestselling author S.A. Barnes. "[Ava] Lucas' narration enhances Jo's cynicism as she navigates political intrigue...She easily differentiates characters, and her male voices are delightfully sensual." — Kirkus Jocasta’s carved out a normal life for herself—well, as normal as she can get with a name like Jocasta and being the one and only child of Death. It's her senior year at Beecher University, but Jo is lonely. She feels guilty about using her friends to feed her fatal magic, especially when she’s feeding on a certain friend’s frequent disappointments. Then there’s Carter, the smart and sexy guy she was—is—half in love with. It’s messy, but safe. When Devon shows up, things get a lot more complicated. He’s a descendent of an Old One, just as Jo is. He knows she’s Death’s daughter, which means this isn’t an accident. He has come to Beecher for her: the Old Ones are making moves, and Death’s just announced Jo as his successor. Her safe bubble is about to burst—but Jo will do anything to claim what’s rightfully hers. Even if it means enlisting Devon’s help. A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble Books.
