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 5^th 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.

Jan 30th Interview Karilyn Bentley Author of Devil Take Me

Give a warm welcome to Karilyn Bentley, author of Devil Take Me, the fourth book in her urban fantasy Demon Huntress Series, Just released January 22, 2018!

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 Take Me.

That sounds like an ominous adventure to say the least! Now I’ve read the series, what can we expect from Devil Take Me?

Hi Tena! Thank you for having me on Author’s Secrets today! I’m really excited about my new release, Devil Take Me. It’s the 4^th book in the urban fantasy Demon Huntress series. This time a demon haunts Gin Crawford, trying to convince her it’s offering a peaceful eternal rest. Yeah, right. Never believe a demon, no matter how much you want what it offers. Can she stop it before it kills again? Tune in to this exciting episode to find out! 🙂

I love writing Gin’s story. She’s a flawed character so I have to write her so the reader will identify with her while keeping her true to herself (which is a little bitchy). I came up with the idea for Gin and her twin T one evening while sitting on my porch. I was working on two different ideas, one of which was a crazy ER nurse who had empathic abilities (aka Gin). Her chapter was funny since I was going for a laugh. The other story line was of a boy hiding under a bed while a demon attacked. Not so funny. For whatever reason, I decided to join the two together. The original first scene in the first book (Demon Lore) of the series was cut, but the plot with the boy remained. Combining the two plots led to the Demon Huntress idea and the rest is history. The 5^th book will come out later this year. Cant wait!

Now, let’s have some fun with the speed round!

A little about Devil Take Me!

A demon attack…

Reeling from a personal tragedy and abandoned by all she loves, the world’s newest demon huntress, Gin Crawford, sinks into a deep despair. She’s forced back to reality by news of a large number of people committing suicide, all on the same night. Suspecting demon involvement, Gin must work with her sexy but estranged mentor Aidan Smythe to track who, or what, is behind the deaths.

Leads to a new discovery…

As they come closer to finding the culprit, they realize their employer, the Agency, is hiding its own secret, one which threatens Gin’s very existence. New discoveries reveal that even those dedicated to eradicating evil can be bought. Can Gin and Smythe forgive each other and work together or will they fall under the demon’s thrall?

A sneak peek between the pages of Devil Take Me!

My ringing phone postpones our usual argument. I glance at the caller ID. “Hang on.”

I set my plate on the coffee table and run-walk to the kitchen, swiping the talk button.

“Hello?”

“You’re right.” The tight tone of Smythe’s voice lets me know he’s not happy about the matter. “Despite the Agency not reporting any demon appearances, the likelihood of a demon outbreak in Dallas is high. The number of suicides is abnormal. I checked.”

“Nice to talk to you too. So what are we going to do about it?” About the demon. About the suicides. About us. Pick one.

Of course he avoids the tutu-wearing elephant sitting between us, choosing the safer territory of demons. Then again, I asked about the demon and suicides, not us.

“You working tomorrow?”

“Not tomorrow. But I am the next day.”

“I’ll be at your house at seven in the morning. Be ready to go.”

With those words, he ends the call.

Not a bad start. At least he talked. More like growled. Beggars can’t be choosers, can they?
