You Had Me at Halo

From the author of Second Time’s a Charm, praised as “irresistible” (Sarah Beth Durst, NYT bestselling author of The Spellshop), comes a paranormal fake-dating and opposites attract rom-com as a demon and angel have to team up to reset the balance between Hell and Heavan.

Waking up on Hell’s doorsteps isn’t where Noah Reynolds expected to be at twenty-three. Sentenced to Hell … well, Hell House—a thirty-day purgatory where Demons work as the-demon-on-your-shoulder to grow their numbers, she is hungry for revenge before she’s out of time.

But when Noah runs into Charlie, a saintly angel, and a scandalous mishap lands them in hot water, they both must prove to their higher-ups that their scandal was fueled by something holier than lust—love. Forced into fake-dating to save Charlie falling from grace, and in agreement to help Noah tank Hell’s influence out of revenge, they start to wonder where the line is drawn when it comes to love between Demons and Angels.

As Noah and Charlie struggle with their opposing morals and maintaining their fake relationship, they’re caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, and are accused by the Board of Divine Intervention of the dead’s worst crime—exposing their side to the living—punishable by a fate worse than death. Together, they’ll have to prove their innocence or their souls will be erased forever.

• "You Had Me at Halo is a delightfully clever spin on the angels, demons, and romance! I was sucked in right away by the super interesting world building and snappy humor of this story, and stayed for the charming love story that unfolds between Noah, our spunky, angry demon, and golden retriever angel Charlie. I would read an entire series of these two and all their adventures in the afterlife!" 
  Mallory Marlowe, USA Today Bestselling Author of Entities to Lovers
• "Taylor Epperson’s sophomore novel is at once angelically good and devilishly hot. For fans of Charmed, this book will delight Piper and Leo shippers and Phoebe and Cole die-hards with fake dating between an angel and a demon who do in fact catch real feelings. With gentle examination of grief, heartfelt character growth, and the charming humor I’ve come to expect from her books, Taylor Epperson shines again in You Had Me at Halo, a nuanced look at second chances and the ways that love can grow in even the most unexpected places."

• "Witty, swoony, and with just enough snark to raise Hell, You Had Me At Halo was an effortless read full of sugar and spice. With a tender romance, and the definition of 'she's a black cat and he's a golden retriever,' Taylor Epperson creates a supernaturally charged world full of banter, heart-warming moments, and laugh-out-loud humor. You Had Me At Halo is the perfect reminder that sometimes our greatest adventures are yet to come." 
  Grace Morrow, author of We Become Darkness
• “In You Had Me at Halo, Taylor Epperson paints a picture of the afterlife that’s equal parts whimsical, whacky, and heartfelt. Fans of The Good Place will find a familiar tenderness beneath humor and a version of heaven and hell where demons and angels are relatably human in their flaws and raw emotions. Charlie and Noah’s relationship is tender and proof that love can overcome the distance between heaven and hell, the afterlife, and even a fake relationship!”
  Katie Jung, author of You're the One That I Haunt
• “The kind of page-turning read that perfectly walks the line between funny, heartfelt, and paranormal. You Had Me at Halo seamlessly weaves together hilarious afterlife antics amid a budding relationship that’s as unconventional as it is endearing, sure to keep readers hooked until the very end.”
