Demonology for Overachievers

A driven high school senior makes a Faustian bargain with a demon in order to win a prestigious scholarship . . . only to discover that her rival has made the same deal. Merritt Maldonado has done everything right, trying to earn her way into college without adding to her family’s mounting debt. But for every club she’s founded, tree she’s planted, and sport she’s played, her academic nemesis Linus Lexington has been right there. By her side. Copying her every move. And now they're neck and neck for the coveted fellowship at LexCo, which happens to be Linus' father's company. Merritt is determined to win the full ride scholarship. She has no idea why Linus, with his nepo baby privilege and razor sharp jawline, even needs it. Desperate to gain an edge, Merritt finds herself making a deal with a demon. But when other applicants start dying in gruesome ways, Merritt realizes the demon is killing off her competition. And to make matters worse, she finds the demon’s mark on Linus. Now their souls are tied to the same deadly demon. With bodies piling up, they have to work together to break the pact, stop the killings, and maybe admit that the bond they share isn't just supernatural.
