A trap set for the band goes from bad to worse as organist and resident sorcerer Adrian badly bungles his escape spell. Trapped inside Adrian's shadow, the band struggles to orient themselves and escape not only from their pursuing enemies, but from the darker manifestations of Adrian's soul.

And once they do get out from inside their own wizard's tortured mind, they'll still have to deal with the fallen angels that trapped them in the first place.

Devil Sent the Rain is the fourth installment of Rock Band Fights Evil, a pulp fiction serial by D.J. Butler.

Reviews

[Platte Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Much like a fruit smoothie takes the fun and familiar (fruit I mean) and blends it up into a new and awesome (even chaotic) swirl of flavor, Devil Sent the Rain takes our favorite fighting band and mixes things up just enough to retain the series formula (and I say that in a good way) while throwing in new twists and turns. Delivers exactly the pulp goodness promised.

[Nathan Shumate · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wanted to love it supremely, but I only loved it superiorly, mainly because it started with the "something supernatural attacks them at a gig" springboard which is becoming too familiar. But I love that the ending changed the status quo for forthcoming installments.

Wow. I cannot get the setting of this book out of my head. It was so vivid, intense, and somewhat disturbing. Yet another winning entry in this series.

A fantastic blend of the same rock band in a completely different story setting. This time, the band ends up in the wizards dream world, which is a house of horrors. Awesome!
