"Mean Girls meets The Exorcist."--MTV

"Gripping, intense horror for teens with strong stomachs."--Booklist

Brooklyn knows that there's no good without evil, no right without wrong. And when a helpless girl calls her teen helpline, whispering that someone is hurting her, Brooklyn knows that she needs to save her anonymous caller, even if it means doing something bad.

Her parents and friends assure her the call was probably a prank--but Brooklyn has always had a tendency to take over, whether someone has asked for help or not.

The call came from Christ First Church. Soon Brooklyn is plunged into the cultish community of its youth group. She's especially drawn to Gavin, the angelic yet tortured pastor's son.

Torn between an unstoppable attraction to Gavin and her obsession with the truth, Brooklyn is forced to make a devastating choice to rid Christ First Church of evil once and for all. . . . But the devil has plans for Brooklyn's soul.
