Rachael has traveled to Whitehaven to visit her father, a
trek she can not help but dread given his recent descent into madness. Upon her
arrival she realizes his deterioration has not only been mental, it’s been
physical as well. His death comes as no surprise, but what she discovers soon
after, is shocking when his burden becomes hers.
Lock is a banished spirit who must attach himself to a human
host in order to hide from those who would drag him back to hell to be
destroyed. When he meets Rachael he finds more than a host, he finds an ally.
Together they must defeat each of the seven sins in order to
guarantee Lock's safe passage into the Third Realm, a loophole in creation that
would allow him to escape hell and have peace at long last. Through their unlikely
friendship, other banished spirits flock to them in hopes of a peace they
hadn't dreamt possible.

An excerpt from My Demonic Ghost - Banished Souls
I shook my head as a spasm of cold flooded my cheeks. Lock
had my face cupped between his hands, staring with tight and intense
concentration. He was only sparing an inch between my nose and his, his eyes so
much prettier than those other grey, dead hues
that I lost all thought of abandoning him.
“Careful Rach, don’t stare at him.” The people sitting next
to us recoiled
from our sudden closeness, confused by Lock who had seated
himself up on
my lap and was forcing his head down on top of mine. My
breath got caught
up in my throat as I folded my lips back into my mouth.
“Okay.”
Lock lingered for a moment longer, not breaking the
connection he had with
me until he felt sure I wasn’t going to do a runner. He
slipped back into his
own chair, fold his arms over his chest and resumed his
intense staring,
watching my eyes. He then shifted and shot a look over his
shoulder, which I
followed back to the face of the other Banished Soul who was
evidently
laughing privately to himself. He blinked at Lock once before
looking back to
me. Then slowly he lifted his wretched bone white hand,
easing it down onto
the shoulder of the little girl standing next to him. To my
horror, she tensed
at his advancement and glanced up, her neck tilting away as
if cowering
from a slap.
“We should get off the train,” Lock insisted, shooting up
from his seat.
“Can’t we do anything?” I asked in hoarse desperation but
Lock shook his
head, intertwined his fingers with the folds of my sleeve
and ushered me out
the doorway furthest from the pair.
I couldn’t stop
myself from looking back, hoping that my eyes were deceiving me. The little
girl tossed a worried look at her mum and reached out to touch her elbow, only
to get her hand knocked away. The spirit continued laughing as the yellow
lights in the
carriage flickered. The doors opened with a jolt and I was
yanked out.
Lock kept pulling me forwards, not giving me a chance to
call out. I wanted
to tear the girl away from the spirit’s filthy hands. The
passengers getting on
the train glanced at us wearily, leaning away.
