Synopsis: Will Hunter's had a rough few months. He just survived the battle of his life. He learned the devil was his father. And his newly demonic best friend Rudy is trapped under glass until Will can find a way to bring him back from the dark side. All Will wants is to lay low for a while with Natalie, the girl he loves, and focus on saving his friend.

But Will never seems to get what he wants.

In Seattle, Will encounters a dangerous new breed of female demon, faster and more deadly than anything he's ever faced, and a mysterious, striking girl who arrives just in time to save his life. Natalie doesn't trust her, but Will is drawn to her in a way he doesn't fully understand. Is she a powerful new ally? Or will her secrets destroy him and everything he cares about?

As the devil's minions work to reassemble their leader's body piece by piece, Will must once again become the New Kid to prevent the Dark Lord from rising—this time for good.
