A Chat with Karilyn Bentley Author of Devil Forget Me
Give a warm welcome to my sister author, Karilyn Bentley author of Devil Forget Me, Book Five of the Demon Huntress Series released today! Happy Book BIrthday! Not an April Fool’s joke. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. I’ve read and loved all the previous books in the Demon Huntress Series!
Now, pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Karilyn and Devil Forget Me.
Hi Tena! Thank you for having me back on Author’s Secrets! It’s always fun to chat with you and your followers. Today I’m excited to talk about my newest release, Devil Forget Me, the 5th and final book in the Demon Huntress series. This time Gin Crawford must discover the identity of the demon haunting her esteemed employer, The Agency, before all hell breaks loose. Which is a little hard to do since the demon cast a forget-me spell. Although, if you’re the demon, that’s a pretty nifty trick to hide from those annoying humans. Pick up your copy and find out how Gin solves the mystery!

Tell us a little about your new release Devil Forget Me.
What appears to be a simple crime, unmasks a chilling deception…
Gin Crawford, the world’s newest demon huntress, kills two minions who are breaking into a financial adviser’s office. But what she thinks of as another night in the life of a demon huntress leads to a cover-up of epic proportions. A demon haunts her employer, the Agency, and only she can stop it.
Aidan Smythe, her guardian mage and lover, along with her brother T, and the healer Eloise, join her search in discovering the demon’s identity. A search thwarted by a powerful spell.
Breaking the spell requires her to join forces with Zagan, the demon of deceit, the demon who marked her as his. But working together comes with a price. One Gin is not sure she can pay.
Excerpt: (Insert an except other that the official one – if possible – readers like something different.)
Local weather report for today: sunny with a chance of scattered minion parts.
I spin, my sword slicing off the minion’s arm. His eyes flare, round saucers in a shocked face. What did he expect? Me to roll over and stop fighting?
Fat chance, buster. Shouldn’t have hosted the demon’s essence.
Minions might be super-charged on a demon’s essence, but they still feel pain. And whacking off an arm causes pain.
While the minion grabs his bleeding stump and whimpers like a kicked dog, I pull back my sword for a fatal blow. One I should have administered instead of one-arming the minion.
A swing later and the whimpering stops, courtesy of the minion’s head rolling across the ground. Score!
“Good job.” Aidan Smythe, my guardian mage, mentor extraordinaire, and current lover, nods at the dead minion.
I draw in a deep breath, standing a little straighter. When I first became the world’s newest Justitian—or demon huntress as I like to call me and my twelve fellow sword-sisters—I sucked at killing demons. Now, I’m Gin Crawford, super-awesome demon huntress. A feat continuing to impress me.
If only my demon-killing employer was as impressed. Then again, in my book the Agency isn’t exactly known for its intelligence.

Hi Tena! Thank you for having me on today! 🙂
It’s my pleasure! Best wishes for LOTS of sales!
Thank you!!! 🙂
So what’s up your sleeve next?
I’m not allowed to post about it on social media yet. Hopefully soon. But it involves a ghost and is pretty cool! 🙂
That is wonderful!
A lot of people are going to miss this series. I hope you have something just as great ahead. Good luck, Karilyn.
Thanks Sandra Dailey for popping by! Yep you’re right we’re going to miss ’em!
Thank you Sandra! I’m glad you enjoyed the series! 🙂
A huge Harry Potter fan, too! Enjoyed the interview. And I’m going to savor every word on this last book in the series, Karilyn. Wishing you all the best! xoxo
Thanks Mary for stopping by! Yep me too a huge Harry Potter fan!!
Thank you Mary! I hope you enjoy Gin’s final story! 🙂 xox
Fun interview, and it sounds like a great read. Congratulations on finishing the series!
Thank you Laura!!! 🙂
Believe it or not! I just watched all the Harry Potter films on Netflix. It was my very first time to do so. I simply loved them. I think I have some of the books, too. With ebooks, a read can get just as lost as shelves where you have to double-row shelf the books to make them fit.
Enjoyed my visit to your site Tena. Karilyn, does your secret project have writing involved? Happy release day!
Hey Eileen! Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed my site. I totally agree, e-books get lost in my ipad all the time. LOL
