Hiding out in a mental institution isn’t glamorous. I call it surviving. I’m blissfully unaware of the world outside the walls - and spell - that hide me. Until the ghost shows up with talks about his friends being marked by a demon. Oh, but not just any demon. The same one who has marked me and wants me dead. My father. Fearful daddy dearest would be my next uninvited guess, I make the choice to follow the ghost to his four very alive friends. To my relief, they want my father dead as much as I do. 

Best friends Seth and Noah set off for the ultimate spring break Mexican vacation. But an ill-advised nighttime jaunt to some off-limits ancient Mayan ruins puts the guys face-to-face with an incarnate Mayan goddess.
