The Godfrey Home for Demonic Children

A young exorcist faces demons both real and figurative in this searing horror novel from the author of The Year of the Witching and An Academy for Liars.
At eight years old, Juliet Godfrey was violently possessed by Bedlam, a vicious demon with a penchant for arson. After several failed exorcisms and a fiery tragedy of the demon's making, Juliet was sent to the gothic halls of the Godfrey Home for Demonic Children and entrusted into the care of famed exorcist Luther Godfrey. There, under Luther's careful instruction, she learns to form an uneasy truce with the demon inside of her.
Twenty years after her possession, a steely-eyed Juliet travels the country as an exorcist, removing powerful (and often violent) demons from their human hosts, and occasionally referring the rare children like her, who are infected with particularly dangerous demons, to Godfrey House.
When Luther Godfrey dies following the disappearance of Seth, one of his troubled young charges, Juliet returns home for the first time in many years to attend his funeral. But upon her arrival, Juliet discovers that Luther left Godfrey House, and the care of all its students, to her ex-boyfriend, her ex-best friend, and her. With the fate of Godfrey House hanging in the balance, the three must set aside their differences, protect Luther's legacy, and find Seth before he attempts a dangerous exorcism that could end his life.
