The Devils We Know Is Coming

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

There were still things left unsaid. Wounds that hadn't healed. Questions that needed answers.

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.
