I said, “Brude made himself invincible in that time and place.” I thought about it. “Yeah, Raoul could never have slipped under that armor. No guy could’ve. But a girl with a friendly face and sharp teeth was a different story.”
Cassandra dropped her hands to her chin. “All right, we know how he got in. So all we have to figure is how to get him out.”
My lips went dry. “Are we talking… like an exorcism?”
“I don’t know. We should discuss this with the others.”
I began to scratch my forearm. Hard and fast. If I’d had a balloon in my hand it would’ve stuck to the wall by the time I was done. “I don’t—”
“Neither does Brude.”
I sighed. “Okay. Just tell me one thing before this all goes down.”
“Anything,” she promised.
“What’s a bustier?”

This book is for my brothers—I love you all!
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
might.
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in
thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest
up.
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine
eyes.
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
—Deuteronomy 6:4–9
Praise for the Jaz Parks series:
“The humor really shines as Rardin’s kick-ass heroine guides readers through her insane life.”
