Wicked As Sin (The Accidental Exorcist Book 1)

For fifteen years, the narrator has worked as a sidekick to a prominent Chicago exorcist, banishing demons and enduring severe night terrors in isolation. When the mentor abandons them during a critical case, the narrator begins to suspect they are not the righteous exorcist-in-training they believed themselves to be. The source of evil they are sworn to destroy may not be external—it could be within them. Taking on their first solo exorcism at a wealthy family's country estate, the narrator discovers the assignment is far from routine. The house harbors corruption in its walls and death in its floorboards. As they investigate deeper, they uncover a demonic underworld of power and decay. To survive, they must confront an internal creature that fills their mind with temptation and their body with forbidden desire. The battle becomes complicated by conflicting needs: the narrator wants the creature gone but also needs it desperately. This is the first book in The Accidental Exorcist series. The work contains demonic possession, loss of bodily autonomy, body horror, complex consent dynamics, graphic violence, and explicit sexual content. It is intended for mature readers aged 18 and older.
