by : herbie "No game has a single player, unless, of course, you're playing online." Leticia Alvarez Garcia has spent nearly half of her twenties trying to make the life of Oliver Daire, the occupant of the apartment below her, miserable. Everyday, she'd prank him, and everyday he'd storm up, and everyday they'd fight. Until she returns from a week long work trip. • Finding out that her boyfriend's a douche and breaking up, losing an important sales client, ruining her favorite tote bag and getting into trouble with her beloved boss, Leticia has had the worst week. The only solace she can find is in pranking Mr. Daire downstairs. But she pranks him, and he never comes up.

For the Slates, demon slaying is the family business. And eighteen-year-old Perrin has fully embraced her chosen profession. But when her sister, fifteen-year-old Ace, declares she's ready to join the cause, Perrin has her reservations. First of all, the case she's picked involves not one, but three demonic foes. A tricky proposition for any new slayer. Second, something eerily familiar lurks at the heart of the infested town. A red-eyed presence that may or may not be the demon who murdered their brother a decade ago. Third, Ace refuses to listen. To reason, to orders, to sense. And in this line of work, one false move can get you killed. Along with their exasperated father and an overeager grocery store clerk, Perrin and Ace set out to raise a little hell and bag a trio of baddies. But demons aren't the only ones to fear. A secret society has discovered their connection to an ancient bet. One involving their very souls. And as enemies close in on all sides, the Slates will need to trust each other and their training to stay one step ahead of the coming storm. Set against the backdrop of 2010 Middle America, Slate Gray is a nostalgic tale of demons, driving and destiny. Will Perrin sacrifice herself to protect her sister? Will Ace make a deal with the devil to bring their brother back? Only time will tell.
