About this ebook

Their supernatural talents could make them the perfect team — if Hell doesn’t claim them first.

Caleb Lockwood has a foolproof system for winning big in Las Vegas. Being part demon helps. Fresh from his escape from Hell, he’s looking to lie low and build a new life, starting with flipping a haunted house. Too bad his realtor has a knack for spotting supernatural trouble.

Delia Dunne’s business card might advertise “luxury real estate,” but her true expertise lies in cleansing properties of unwanted spectral tenants. When a casino executive hires her to investigate a streak of suspicious wins, she never expects her newest client — the charming house flipper with seemingly unlimited funds — to be at the center of it all.

From the moment Caleb and Delia step into a ghost-infested property, things get complicated: sparks fly between them, spirits vanish mysteriously, and demons start showing up with deadly intent. As Delia digs deeper into Caleb’s past, she uncovers a two-year-old disappearance, a rebellion in Hell, and a secret that could get them both killed. Worse, the powerful figure behind it all is closer than either of them realized — and he’s playing for keeps.

The stakes are high, the odds are stacked, and in Vegas, the house always wins. Unless you’ve got a quarter-demon and a ghost hunter in your corner.

Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews and Patricia Briggs, this sizzling urban fantasy features a haunted Las Vegas, high-stakes supernatural gambling, and a romance hot enough to rival the desert sun. Holy water and poker chips recommended.

Ratings and reviews

Speak of the Devil really Spoke to Me! Christine Pope has done it again with her newest series, Vegas Slayers. Book 1, Speak of the Devil hits all the notes! I can't begin to tell you how much I loved this book. I picked it up and read straight through, it was so amazing. Our new Heroine Delia has a gift of helping ghosts move on, but does that skill work with demons? Caleb sure hopes not. You are going to love this new series. Delia and Caleb are the heroine and hero you didn't know you needed!

Unfortunately, Caleb Lockwood is back, somehow miraculously escaped from Hell after being sent there in "The Project Demon Hunters" series. He reveals his true nature but Delia, a ghost whisperer/real estate agent, is not frightened, just reluctant to get involved with a quarter-Demon. He seems to be reformed from his evil ways, and a budding friendship/collaboration proceeds, with romance possible in the next book.

An excellent first book to a new series involving demons, ghosts and a dangerous enemy.
