The Lethal Equation — Jacquel Clark

Icee Edmond is a fifty-nine-year-old collector of souls; this is her destiny. Following her destiny costs Icee the dream of a conventional life she harbored as a child. However, the price of ignoring her destiny was too great as it led to an existence of continually facing demons inclined to end her life, depression and mere survival.

While held captive by a killer, Icee is introduced to her lifes lot by Crazy G, an Indian ancestral great-grandparent known as the demon mother. Crazy G convinces Icee she has special powers that protect her from the demons and allow her to collect souls. Believing Crazy G, she sets out to fulfill her destiny. Icee and her traveling companion, Mason, stalk and kill those who have sold their spirit, and bloodlust becomes a part of their everyday lives.

While attending her estranged husbands funeral, Icee suffers a brain injury and slips into a coma. Mason, who is secretly Satans deputy, forces her to connect the fragments of her psyche to create a unified whole, allowing her embodied spirit to be propelled forward and be held accountable for its moral performance. Icee always believed she was one of the good guys. However, a look at reality and resurrected memories make her question her entire existence.
