Summary from
Goodreads:
"A wickedly
romantic story that will have you cheering for Lisa Gail Green’s addictive
storytelling. SOUL CROSSED is devilishly delicious!" — Martina Boone,
author of COMPULSION and the Heirs of Watson Island trilogy
"Soul Crossed blurs the lines between good and evil with addictive characters and plot that will have you eagerly turning the pages." ~Kelly Hashway, author of the Touch of Death series.
One Demon.
One Angel.
One Soul.
Josh lived a reckless, selfish life, so upon his death, escaping the eternal torments of Hell by assuming the role of a powerful, soul-corrupting demon is an easy choice. His first soul assignment doesn’t seem too hard: the mortal Camden is already obsessed with weapons, pain, and torture. If only Josh wasn’t distracted by Cam's beautiful friend, Grace.
Grace never expected to die violently at age sixteen, but now she’s an Angel, responsible for saving a soul. She can already see past Camden’s earthly flaws, so the job should be be easy. If only that handsome, playboy Josh would stop getting in the way.
It’s forbidden for an Angel to be with a Demon, so if Josh and Grace stop resisting each other, the results would be disastrous.
And only one can claim Cam’s soul.

AUTHOR Q&A
Q: What was your inspiration behind writing this book?
A: I
wanted to do a book about forbidden love, and what could be more innately
forbidden than a demon and an angel? The idea grew from there. I wanted to show
that Grace and Josh complete each other and that there are too many shades of
grey in this world to make almost anything an absolute. I knew it was going to
be tricky, despite avoiding religion as much as possible, but I wanted to make
sure in my world it was about perception, belief, and choices and there was no
simple answer to the ultimate questions. Frankly as soon as I started writing
Josh and Grace took over and did what they wanted, which I know is hard to
understand if you aren’t a writer! But hopefully that translates to them
feeling just as real to you as they do to me.
Q: Do you think Josh and
Grace belong together?
A: Every
relationship goes through ups and downs, but I wouldn’t be a good writer if I
didn’t do my best to put them through the worst. If they can stay in love after
all I throw at them then YES! They deserve eternal love.
Q: Did you have an “aha” moment when you came up with this
story?
A: My
biggest “aha” moment when writing Soul Crossed was during a very important
scene in Josh’s apartment when Grace is ready to be with him. I had the book
planned fairly well in my head but realized as I typed that the book was going
to wrap up far too soon. I didn’t know what to do, so I thought, just keep
going and you can revise later. Writers always revise so it wasn’t so crazy a
thought. But what happened was Josh surprised me! He reacted in the opposite
way I expected him to and it was perfect. Subconscious at work? Maybe. All I
know is I love it when my characters surprise me because hopefully they do the
same for you! Did I revise? Heck yeah. But that important moment stayed and
still fit perfectly. Can you guess what it was?

You can't have Angels without demons. I'm going to enjoy this.
