IN AMERICA, DEMONS WEAR WHITE HOODS.

In 1915, The Birth of a Nation cast a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring Hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die.

Standing in their way is Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foul-mouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to Hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on Hell is about to heat up.

Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?

Gimme More!

I'm starting to learn to enjoy novellas more and appreciate them for what they are but I REALLY needed this to be a full novel, gimme mooooore, I beg!

A Great Time

I loved this book! I don't know if it's because I read them nearly back-to-back, but I also loved Dread Nation, and this book had similar vibes but was more adult.

I need more monster books like this

This story is action packed and full of amazing characters. I really love the incredible bond between these women and the small details that make this a big story. I really do wish this was a series
