Summary
from Goodreads:
It
was only a wish.
Connor Sullivan was painfully average. The very highlight of his existence was going to school, doing homework, and playing video games. He thought nothing would ever change that. Unfortunately, homework usually screws everything up.
A cut, some blood, and a hastily scrawled promise to sell his soul for his fondest wish...and all hell breaks loose. Literally.
The Demons take him up on his offer.
In a last ditch effort to keep his soul, he wishes to become one of the demons, or Fallen as they call themselves. Connor thought he had found a solution to his problem. He never fully understood the meaning of the phrase, "From the frying pan into the fire," until his wish was granted. The biggest catch?
Never ever fall in love with a human...
And then she walked into his school. Beautiful, red-haired, funny...and blind. Connor's heart didn't stand a chance. Neither did the Fallen's rules. He had saved his soul, but could he find happiness without hurting the girl he loved? Or would secrets Jessica didn't even know she had destroy them all?

{Excerpt}
{Excerpt}
I heard the motorcycle turn
onto the street I was walking on, and the rumbling grew to an almost painful
level. I turned and saw it coming up fast. I expected it to blow past me at an
ungodly speed, but as soon as the bike got close, the rider yanked the handlebars
and fishtailed to a stop just a few inches from the curb next to me.
She looked like a supermodel
dressed in leather. Dark curly tresses fell over her shoulders and down her
back. I frowned a little at her lack of helmet. I never understood people's
obsessions with death wishes. Then I gave her a second look over. She looked
badass enough to crack the pavement. Maybe she didn't need a helmet. My
eyebrows rose as I finally looked at her face.
She was gorgeous from head
to toe. I felt a little guilty about looking at her face last. It was without a
doubt, her best feature. She looked really young, but at the same time,
something about her made her look older. The term, "Ageless," popped
into my head, filling in the blank.
I expected her to shout and ask
for directions over the rumble of the Harley’s engine, but she reached down and
turned the key, shutting the engine off. I stood there mesmerized as she swung
one leg over the bike and sat on the seat, staring right back at me.
She crossed her arms and
lowered her gaze to my shabby Sketchers and raised her eyes, slowly taking in
everything else.
I wanted to hide behind a
tree. Nobody had looked at me like that since the first time I met my
great-aunt Harriet. I had a feeling she was doing the math to figure out how
much she could get for me if she sold me on eBay.
“Connor Sullivan?” She made
my name a question. I nodded dumbly. “Come on, let’s get this over with.”
“Excuse me?”
“Look, I don’t have time for
this. I have three more after you. What do you want?”
“Excuse me?” The word hooker
flashed through my mind.
“Did you, or did you not,
sign a binding contract offering your soul in exchange for one wish? If I have
the wrong Connor Sullivan who lives at 1432 Willow Street, I apologize.” She
rolled her eyes and threw up her arms, apparently more than a little annoyed.
“That was real?”
“Yes, completely. Now I
haven’t got all night. What do you want? Make it good. The price is a little
hefty I’ll admit, but it's worth it.”
Realization dawned on me. My
knees went weak, but I managed to stay on my Sketchers. “This isn’t some sort
of joke?”
“Nope, one wish for one
soul, that was the deal.”
