Summary
from Goodreads:
It
was only a wish.
Connor Sullivan was painfully average. The very highlight of his existence was going to school, doing homework, and playing video games. He thought nothing would ever change that. Unfortunately, homework usually screws everything up.
A cut, some blood, and a hastily scrawled promise to sell his soul for his fondest wish...and all hell breaks loose. Literally.
The Demons take him up on his offer.
In a last ditch effort to keep his soul, he wishes to become one of the demons, or Fallen as they call themselves. Connor thought he had found a solution to his problem. He never fully understood the meaning of the phrase, "From the frying pan into the fire," until his wish was granted. The biggest catch?
Never ever fall in love with a human...
And then she walked into his school. Beautiful, red-haired, funny...and blind. Connor's heart didn't stand a chance. Neither did the Fallen's rules. He had saved his soul, but could he find happiness without hurting the girl he loved? Or would secrets Jessica didn't even know she had destroy them all?

Excerpt
Prologue
Ever
have one of those bad ideas just pop into your head? You know the
ones. They seem like a great idea at the time, but if you had stopped
to think about it a moment…
I'm
talking about those ideas where you just seize the moment and do what
your heart tells you to. Then, after the dust settles and you get
bandaged up, your parents say, "What the hell were you
thinking?"
"But,
Dad, I wasn't!"
I
had one of those moments.
I
guess if you want to be technical, I had a whole chain of those
moments leading up to the big bang moment. The problem was I didn't
have anyone standing around saying, "What the hell were you
thinking?"
The
moral of this story?
There
are several.
First,
stores don't sell black candles for a reason. They're bad news. If
you happen to come across one in the mall that sells questionable
items…walk away. Trust me on this one. Black candles are bad.
Second,
always know what you want out of life. Coasting along, not caring
about anything will get you into trouble. Maybe more than you can
handle.
Lastly,
if someone offers to grant you your fondest wish, wish for something
you really, truly want. Wish for something that will make the world a
better place or you a better person. Never ever wish to be a monster…
