Eunice “Bug” Smoot already has a tough time surviving in the world, and her situation grows worse one day when she wakes to the sound of her landlord banging on her door, demanding rent she doesn’t have. Then she finds out that some jerk has egged her car—her late grandfather’s prized 1958 Cadillac Biarritz, the only thing of value he left her. Then, right in front of her, a coyote decides to urinate on the whitewalls. Perfect! Of course, her boss, Vinnie, is none too happy that she’ll be late again, so that she can wash that stuff off her car before the El Paso sun bakes it on, but Bug has little choice.

Until a demon shows up to repossess the Cadillac.

Bug knows that she can’t give up that car for anything if she’s going to continue to support herself, and she luckily finds help through her friend, Pesto, who apparently does more than wash cars for a living. Through his connections as an immigration agent to the Underworld, they discover that Bug’s Papa C put up her soul and his own as collateral on the Cadillac. Now that her grandfather’s soul is evading capture, the demon Beals has come to collect. With a few friends, her own wits, and her mad driving skills, Bug has to bring herself to make a deal that the devil himself can’t refuse.

With a strong central character and distinctive voice, this debut novel drives onto the YA scene as an instant classic.

Remember that SOUL ENCHILADA will be released on April 7!
