Those who I once thought were my allies, and others who I worried would stab me in the back have now partnered up with the demon to take what I hold most dear to my heart. Some will be hurt, some will survive, and others will die in this battle to the finish. Will we get the happily ever after we desire? Or will it all come to an end here?

It's all over in a few seconds." Just a few seconds—but seconds which will set in motion a sequence of events involving every member of the Kings Lake Central murder squad in the days to follow.
