Kelly R. Nelson is the author of Sister, It's Not the Way and The Devil & The Details, where she writes unapologetically about love, survival, and all the messy emotions in between. Her stories are bold, layered, and never shy away from heat.

The Devils We Know Is Coming

When I released The Devil & The Details, I knew Bethany and Kevin's story wasn't finished.

And now, after months of writing, rewriting, crying, questioning my life choices, and editing until my eyes crossed, I can finally say that The Devils We Know is coming.
