With the help of Gina's boyfriend, David, Lucifer starts to unravel the events that led up to the kidnapping.

Lucifer is quick to gain respect and empathy, while consistently being highly able and strong.áIntelligent, witty, and sarcastic, Lucifer is a compelling presence and entirely mysterious and flawed at the same time. áThe stakes are high and there is a real fear of danger and darkness. áThere is much to explore in this world: witches, demons, underground magic, corrupt corporations, dangerous dimensions, fun concepts, and mystical gadgets. áEach mystery solved is like an episode of Buffy.Jane Gov.Hexed is enchanting. It is a complex story with many layers, a page-turner and suspenseful. There is never a dull moment with events happening at rapid fire. At times, things can seem a little too convenient, such as Lucifer having a literal bag full of tricks. Some of the plot twists are predictable, but the story is still very engaging. Hexed is for those looking for a new series to start. 4Q, 4P.Kara Eng, Teen Reviewer.

THE FIRST NOVEL BASED ON THE HEXED COMIC!

Luci Jenifer Inacio das Neves, Lucifer for short, isn't your typical teenaged girl.  She's a thief who survives by stealing bad things from bad people in the magical and mystical underworld hidden beneath our own.  So when a policeman's daughter, Gina, is kidnapped by a force he can't explain, Lucifer is the only one who has a chance at getting his daughter back.  

With the unsolicited help of Gina's friends, including Gina's boyfriend David, Lucifer's investigation leads to the unfortunate truth of the kidnapping.  Gina was taken to an otherworldly dimension by a creature of unspeakable evil: one of the Seven Sisters of Witchdown.  Against all odds, Lucifer must use every magical tool hidden in her trick bag to steal her way into the Shade and bring Gina back before the Sister sacrifices her for her own dark ends.  But the closer Lucifer gets to Gina, the closer she gets to David.  And David to her.  Lucifer must risk her life by confronting demons, witches, and the cruel demigoddess controlling her destiny - all to save the one girl who stands in the way of Lucifer finally finding love.
