In this haunting dark fantasy trilogy, comprising The Guardian's Playlist, The Devil's Playlist and Luminarch, three teens growing up Catholic on Cleveland's west side are forced to rethink everything they were taught was true when Demons choose one of them as their new target. Cate Forsythe is an asthmatic, SciFi-loving geek with a list of songs that mysteriously play on the radio whenever she needs a lift. Michael Casey is an aspiring rock guitarist with a past full of rumors and one last shot at a fresh start. Jason King is a bright, sarcastic, high-school basketball star with all the right answers and money to burn. In a tragic accident, their lives collide and Michael's young life is snuffed out.

The tone of this series is dark, albeit with periods of levity, love and humor, shortly followed by sequences of pulse-pounding action which becomes deadly. To capture the young adult audience, the author desired a bright, crisp cover design with a title that stood out. Moving away from the usual character depiction for young adult covers, our cover cooks created incisive hand-drawn illustrations with a sketch-like finish for each of the instalments. A bright accent background color infuses hope into the ominous, bold images that set the paranormal tone: the wings of an angel Cate secretly believes to play songs for her on the car’s radio, Michaels’ guitar consumed by a devilish fire, and St. Michael the Archangel Church in Cleveland devoured by an evil omen. The title treatment conveys the teens' speech in the novel: cursing and gritty.
