Have you ever tried to exorcise a ghost? You say a few words in Latin, wave a Bible around and it’s done. Easy peezy.
Banishing a demon isn’t much harder. You spread some rock salt around, maybe buy a crystal from some kiosk at the mall. It’s all good.
But cockroaches? One those little bastards start laying their eggs in your floorboards, basically your only option is to move.
But moving wasn’t an option for Sydney Hayes, third-level-mage and part time, minimum wage register-jockey at Barnes and Noble. Her apartment may have been an insect-infested Hellhole, nestled into the most dangerous corner of downtown Los Angeles, on the corner of Shot In The Ass Street and Stabbed In The Face Avenue…but it was also cheap as Hell. At least, by LA standards.
