Lucifer and Eve’s forbidden love is rekindled in Dust Bowl America in this “fascinating, memorable, and incredibly well-written” dark fantasy romance (Bram Stoker Award-winning author John R. Little).
It is 1932. The world has turned to dust. Lucifer stills walks among us, testing the faithful at every turn. On a mission to find a man who claims he can heal the sick, he discovers the reincarnation of Eve in a Dust Bowl revival tent … and their ancient passion threatens the world again.
When Lucifer and Eve were together in Eden, their relationship changed the fate of humanity. What will happen if God brings them together again?
Samael is an angel, not just any angel, but Lucifer himself and he's been sent on a mission from God. He's been sent to find the Brother Silas, one who claims he can heal. When he finds the evangelist, Samael is surprised to find the woman he's loved for a millennia married to the Brother and she does not know him. They knew and loved each other from the very beginning of time, since the Garden of Eden. Cora doesn't understand why she feels as though she knows this man and how easily she trust him. When she finds out who he really is, who she is and why he's there, Cora doesn't understand how any of this could be possible. Can she remember the past, a love, for him, that has lasted through the ages? Will He finally approve of their love? The Devils Lament is a really great read and very well written. At times I felt I had the story figured out and the author would throw in a curve ball and go in a completely different direction. There were some parts that were a bit rough for me to get through, but because of how much I enjoyed the story I kept on going! I was a little bit disappointed with the ending, but would definetely recommended the read. This is a five fangs book!! Reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock
This book is interesting. It is not a subject matter I would usually go for as I'm not religious, but I found it very well written and offers far more than most books dealing with topics of spiritual Christianity. This story is likely blasphemy to many believers, so clearly not for everyone.
Very well written with great settings, lively characters, and engaging conversation. I'm glad I read it.
Characteristic of Kenneth Harmon's novels, The Devil's Lament is a mix, this one including history, biblical lore, tragedy, love that endures through the ages, and horror. It's different, it's as much a literary novel as a genre tale, and I loved it.
