Desolation Series by Ali Cross

Sixteen-year old Desolation Black wants nothing more than to stay in Hell where it’s cold and lonely and totally predictable. Instead, she’s sent back to Earth where she must face the evil she despises and the good she always feared.

Hell is a peaceful place—if you don’t mind the screaming, and you can avoid the greedy grasp of the wanters and needers. Then Father sends me to Earth with orders to push a girl toward Hell. It’s the last thing I want to do—but you do what the devil tells you. At least, until I meet them: A girl who hides her darkness just like I hide my light. And the boy with the lion eyes who sees right through my secrets. There is no peace on Earth—at least not for me... moreHell is a peaceful place—if you don’t mind the screaming, and you can avoid the greedy grasp of the wanters and needers.
