The Devil Made Me Do It
Book Two: Speak of the
Devil series, by Shawna Romkey
Coming July 1 - Go to hell!
The demons strike back!
Lily is working with
the angels to stifle the last of the demon outbreaks and to figure out how to
stop the Silence of God, so life can get back to boring normality. But all hell
breaks loose when she’s stolen from school and brought face to face with the
devil himself. Lily has to find her way back home to Luc, crack the prophecy
that breaks the curse silencing God, and figure out how she and Luc can ever
really be together; but Lucifer has other plans for her that don’t include her
ever getting out of Hell in tact.
Book One, Speak of the Devil, is currently on
sale for $2.99 for the Kindle.
Excerpt
Why me? I asked this question a lot, when I died,
when I lived, when I’d lost my friends, when I’d hooked up with angels, when I
was chased by demons, so it seemed trivial to ask it now, but why me? Why
couldn’t I have a regular non-angel boyfriend to make out with and not worry
about ruining, well, everything for everybody everywhere?
Snap out of it, Lily, I told myself. You have an amazing ability and super-hot— too hot—
angel boyfriend, a blessed life that someone upstairs seems to think is
valuable and worthy of protection. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and girl up.
“Right, girl up. I can do this,” I said aloud. My
body was under control finally and I felt like I could go back to class as long
as we got a new scene to work on. But I’d hurt Luc. I had to talk to him. I had
to fix it and make it right. He was suffering with this as much as I was and
probably more so since he had to have that pious-angel behavior and all.
I stood to go, pushing the vanity chair back as I
did so.
“Lily!” someone whispered.
“What?” I turned to see
if Cassie was there.
“Lily, look!” It was difficult to tell if it was a male or female voice since
it was a whisper.
The voice was coming from behind me. I looked
back around – that’s when I saw the surface of the mirror tremble, as though it
were liquid. It rippled from the center. “Lilith!” The whisper came from the
mirror.
Too late I remembered something Luc and Belle had
said about mirrors. The surface splashed out toward me, and though I
reflexively turned away and pulled back, the watery mirror grabbed me with its
newly formed reflective arms and pulled me inside.
