In her humorous self-deprecating voice, meet Shelby Black, high school exorcist- in- training.  If that sounds exciting, it’s not as exciting as being tutored in geometry by Spencer, the hottest guy in school.  Her uncle Roy, priest, guardian and kick-ass exorcist relentlessly keeps her focused and continues to save her from her failures as various demons try to take over the people in her world.   Like all underappreciated hero’s, Shelby keeps her abilities a secret.  As the mystery around her mother’s disappearance deepens, Shelby must learn to follow the strict lines of safe “exorcistic” practice, work as a team member and communicate with Spencer without hyperventilating.  Maybe all that training will land her a date!
