So Julie's an artist. You know the type -- probably owns more than three types of herbal tea, calls autumn "her season," and has definitely said "I just need to follow my passion" at least twice this week. She paints pretty pictures, takes woodland walks like she's auditioning for a Hallmark movie, and her biggest life crisis is usually deciding between burnt sienna and raw umber.

Then Nana dies.

But not before dropping some absolutely unhinged deathbed confessions about evil demons that made Julie wonder if she should call psych. Classic Nana, waiting until literally the last possible second to mention, "Oh by the way, sweetie, our family fights demons. Here's a house. Good luck!"

Now Julie's alone in Nana's big empty house, which -- plot twist -- comes with more than just dated wallpaper and that weird old-person smell. We're talking about a hidden room in the back of the closet that would make Narnia go, "Okay, that's a bit much." Because while most families have skeletons in their closets, Julie's has actual demons. Like, literal forces of evil that some idiot friend accidentally released because apparently "DO NOT OPEN" signs are just suggestions now.

Suddenly, our herbal-tea-drinking, forest-strolling artist is the centerpiece in a war that's been raging since the beginning of time. That's right -- THE beginning of time. Not like last Tuesday. We're talking Old Testament, fire-and-brimstone, angels-versus-demons cage match stuff. And whether Julie believes in otherworldly evil or not is irrelevant because -- and this is the fun part -- they sure as hell believe in her.

Now she's got to train with actual Templar Knights (yes, those still exist, apparently they have a LinkedIn page and everything) and a Dominican nun whose two defining characteristics are: 1) She fights demons, and 2) She's weirdly obsessed with cherry pie. Because nothing says "holy warrior" like a good slice of fruit-based dessert.

The demons aren't playing fair either. They're going after everyone Julie loves, because evil never learned about boundaries or proper conflict resolution. It's like inheriting your grandmother's china set, except the china shoots fire and wants to destroy humanity.

Shattered Prisons is what happens when HGTV's Fixer Upper meets The Exorcist, with a splash of Eat, Pray, Love if Elizabeth Gilbert had to fight Satan instead of finding herself.

So grab this book, because any home inspection should definitely include checking for interdimensional demon portals. That's just basic adulting. And remember: when things go bump in the night, sometimes selling the house isn't enough. Sometimes, you have to become a warrior for God.

Julie really should have just stuck to watercolors.
