Rae Winter should be dead.

Some say that walking away from the car crash that killed her dad is a miracle, but seventeen-year-old Matthew Watts knows that the forces of Good aren’t the only ones at work. The devil, Lucifer himself, can mark a soul about to pass on, sending it back to the land of the living to carry out his evil will.

Matt has grown up skipping from town to town alongside his father hunting anyone who has this mark. They have one purpose: Find these people, and exterminate them.

After helping his father for years, Matt takes on his own mission: Rae Winter, miracle survivor. But when Matt starts to fall for Rae, to make friends for the first time in his life, he’s not sure who or what to believe anymore. How can someone like Rae, someone who is thoughtful and smart and kind, be an agent of the devil? With the lines of reality and fantasy, myth and paranoia blurred, Matt confronts an awful truth....

What if the devil’s mark doesn’t exist?

FAQ's

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Because we are a small independent bookstore, we can only offer returns or exchanges on unopened, unused items within 14 days of purchase. Books must be in new condition, and Blind Date With a Book purchases are final (to keep the surprise intact!). If you ever have an issue or concern with an order, just reach out, we’re always happy to help.

How long will my order take to ship?

We have a very small team, so orders are typically processed and shipped within 5-7 business days. You’ll receive a confirmation email as soon as your package is on the way. If it's a rush, just email us to let us know and we will prioritize your order!

Local? You can select in-store pickup at Spare Time Books during checkout and grab your order the same day we process it!

Can I use a Bookshop Besties e-gift card in-store and online?

Yes! Our e-gift cards work both on our website and in-store at Spare Time Books. Just enter the gift card code at checkout (online) or show the email at the register (in person).
