Series: Reap & Sow Duology
Eda and her brothers, Ben and Lawrie have been indebted to a demon they call Mr. Night because of a pact that their father made. They are so close to being done, then everything goes wrong. Her brothers are arrested for working with a demon, and she is on the run. Now she goes in search for help only to trade fifty years to another demon for it. Kit has lived in the mortal world for twenty years and does not take many pacts. These two must work together to find a way to save her brothers and finish the deal with Mr. Night. Will they be able to do it all before time runs out?
This is the first book in the Reap & Sow duology. Eda is more of a do first think later kind of person. Which isn’t working out for her so well right now. Kit has a love for the mortal world but is looking to be more of a spectator than a part of it. The banter between these two is brilliant. While she has not seen anything other than the city of Blackbridge, Kit has seen quite a bit of the world. The setting is gothic and dark, but has magic that is well explained. This story is quick and pulls you in wanting to keep reading. I enjoyed this book and look forward to read the next book in this duology.

Product description and Images are from amazon.com:
“The penniless in Blackbridge have only two choices: Sell the body or sell the soul. And thanks to Eda Shaw, business is booming.
Indentured to a capricious demon known as Mr. Night, Eda and her brothers arrange illicit Pacts on his behalf, luring the city's most desperate into trading years of their lives for their deepest desires. When a Pact goes awry and her brothers are arrested, Eda realizes she’ll need an infernal ally of her own: Kit'rath, an infuriating demon with a curious penchant for humanity and the only being in Blackbridge that Mr. Night seems to fear. As they race to rescue her family and save the city from ruin, an undeniable connection sparks between mortal and demon.
But Kit's help doesn’t come cheap. Now Eda risks losing her heart to the one who claims her years—and saving herself may prove the steepest cost of all.”
