Happy birthday. Let's go to hell.
When nineteen-year-old Eliza enrolls in a UCLA history class-taught by handsome, enigmatic professor Oliver Crowley-she vows to solve the mystery that is her professor, which leads to a terrifying quest full of demons, homunculi, zombie gang bangers, and an obnoxious stepmother. But, can she confront the most frightening creature of all-herself?
