Hazel Green has met two demons in her lifetime-the first bought her soul. The second makes her lunch.

Cal, her demon coworker, isn't the strangest part of the Maple Grove Motel. That title belongs to her enigmatic boss, Sam.

Since moving to the northwoods of Wisconsin, Hazel has embraced her peculiar new life. She keeps the motel looking spic and span. She volunteers around the village. She helps her coworkers protect the village from the threat of mythical creatures that lurk just beyond the Gateway-a magic portal located in the motel's basement. The simple life suits Hazel just fine.

Sam's sudden disappearance leaves Hazel scrambling for answers-who took him? Who can she really trust? And will she be able to find her boss before the village is overrun by monsters?
