The stars never rise / Vincent, Rachel

In a world ruled by the brutally puritanical Church and its army of black-robed exorcists, sixteen-year-old Nina tries to save her pregnant younger sister from the Church's wrath and discovers that not only is the Church run by demons but that Nina herself is one of the very few who can genuinely exorcise them.

Nina Kane, sixteen, lives in New Temperance, where sins are viciously prosecuted by the Church. Their world is one of demons, soul-eaters, and if Nina and her sister, Mellie, are not careful, their souls will be gone, too. When Nina learns of Mellie's dangerous secret, the sisters band together, along with a hoodie-wearing exorcist who is not part of the Church, to save their souls from darkness.
