Bargaining her soul had literally cost her .... her life.
Sionne Webster comes to in a new body, that of a recent suicide: an unpopular, mousy girl. She’s got no clue who this chick was, or why her body was chosen for Sionne’s Earth resurrection. What Sionne does know is that she’s only got a few days to find her own murderer before the demon master, Tevit, whisks her back to Hell, hopefully with a killer in tow. Until she discovers that her unknown body donor IS her murderer. Unknown to the demon, Sionne has no intention of returning to the fiery pits, not when all she needs is a human guy to fall in love with her. Luckily, something has delayed Tevit, but any day now, he will seize the body, no questions asked, and toss it to River Styxx with her trapped inside. A slight problem...
Now Sionne will do anything to keep from going back to Hell, even depend on the hot, sexy chaos demon that she had to ... get closer to... as a part of the resurrection ritual.

Ever thought, I’d trade my soul for ___? After hearing Sionne’s plight, you may re-think considering that option. Strap in, we are about to take off for a wicked fast read by Kish Knight, who knows how to write attitude, humor and charm with the flick of her pen! Resurrection is a tale about, well, resurrection, Sionne’s to be exact. Vanity, pure and simple, Sionne wanted hotness and, trust me, she got it when she made a deal with the devil for beauty. Silly girl, did she really think it would be a fair deal? Who would know that a mere two years later she would be killed, still looking good, but definitely dead and now she bargains for a trip back to the living to find her killer. But has she learned something from the Hell’s most notorious bad guy? Does she have other plans up her sleeve? Does she know WHO she will be or what she is in for? What about the guy she thought she was leaving behind? Get ready to be laugh, because the wit is rolling and Sionne is on a mission!
Kish Knight, you have got the touch! You gave us great characters that have their own unique set of personality quirks, a look at the problems dealing with the devil, and a chance to see what happens when ones sets out to outwit the master of deceit! From set up to that final word, Ms. Knight has given this her all and it shows. There was no way I was putting this down until I had to. Face it, if I had the opportunity to go back to seek closure and justice, the thought of a little mystery would a definite plus. Well done! Fun YA reading that feels oh so real, at times.
I received this copy from Kish Knight in exchange for my honest review.

Whoa.. what a thrilling ride. That was quite an adventure power packed into a novella. I can't wait to read the rest of this series to find out what happens. Kish Knight has done it again. I'm definitely hooked.
Resurrection was a quick sassy read! The main character has attitude; I love rebelliously strong females. Due to vanity, Sionne makes a deal with the devil for beauty but when you make a deal with the devil do expect to get tricked and she did. Two years later she’s at her funeral watching everyone she loves mourn her. Well, mostly everyone. Now Sionne makes another deal, she really needs to stop making deals, to go back to earth to find out who killed her. Only, she has a secret mission to find a way to stay on earth permanently. Once she arrives, things already start off on a bad note but chaos always makes for an interesting read. So how will she manage? The book was witty, charming and a lot of fun. The main character was well developed and likeable. There was mystery which I like in a storyline and intrigue which kept me guessing. The action was perfectly placed and the writing was well versed. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was her vanity that got her into trouble in the first place and her attraction to her demon hubby. Overall the plot was thought out and believable. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next chapter. I’m hooked.
As the first book in this series this book is exactly as it should be. The introduction of the main characters and even the supporting ones have been done in a great way. Sionne before resurrection and even after is a witty, spunky 18 year old who is already half way in love with her demon husband, but she's now fighting with all her might to become human again after she makes Ryan, the human boy-next-door fall in love with her new self Taryn.
This book touches on every aspect that comes with being a teen, Sionne as the popular yet vain senior, Old Taryn and Nikki the goth misunderstood crowd and Ryan who seems to be struggling with his own secrets where Sionne/Taryn is concerned. This book is awesome hands down and unique all in one. Can't wait for the other book of the series.
