Set in a future America that has been ravaged by demons who possess human bodies and some other creepy zombie-like monsters called Degenerates, a new governing body has emerged - The Unified Church. The Stars Never Rise is a fast-paced, gritty blend of dystopia and urban fantasy. "The Unclean were hiding in plain sight, among us. Not perfect - there were some issues I had - but seriously, who cares when a book is this unputdownable? She needs Finn and his group of rogue friends just as much as they need her. Wanted by the Church and hunted by dark forces, Nina knows she can't survive on her own. But what kind of exorcist wears a hoodie? To keep them both alive, Nina will need to trust Finn, a fugitive with deep green eyes who has already saved her life once and who might just be an exorcist. And Mellie's sin has put her in serious trouble. Because in New Temperance, sins are prosecuted as crimes by the brutal Church and its army of black-robed exorcists. When Nina discovers that Mellie is keeping a secret that threatens their very existence, she'll do anything to protect her. They gave up on their deadbeat mom a long time ago. Watching over her younger sister, Mellie, and scraping together food and money are all that matters. Her town's population has been decimated by soul-consuming demons, and souls are in short supply. Sixteen-year-old Nina Kane should be worrying about her immortal soul, but she's too busy trying to actually survive.
