The Devil Inside

Is anyone else out there a child of the 80s and like me, still swoony when it comes to INXS?

I've got a special treat for you today. My oh-so-fabulous critique partner, Lisa Desrochers, has a big day tomorrow - her debut novel PERSONAL DEMONS hits bookstores. It is sizzling!!

While Lisa had already created her own fantastic playlist for PERSONAL DEMONS, as someone who always conjures music to accompany reading I think that INXS could do a pretty great job of soundtracking this addictive and original story.

First there's Frannie, who's struggling with both literal and metaphorical PERSONAL DEMONS might relate to this:



Of course Luc, the hotter than hell demon complicating her life make you feel like this:



And then there's Gabe, equally hot but brings heaven's lightness to counter Luc's darkness.



Congratulations to Lisa - I'm so excited that the world can get their hands on this fantastic book.

Bonus: Prizes!!! Leave a comment here and you can win this fabulous prize pack.

AND if you read the Amazing Race posts from the past we and can create the correct phrase from linking all the highlighted words in the posts, you can win big on Lisa's page tomorrow. Details here!! To collect the words, start with Elana Johnson's post!! You can follow the race through the other blog posts from there. Good luck!

  2. Yay! I love collecting all the words and stuff! It's so much fun :D

  3. I was born in the 80's (84) but have no idea what you're referring to, so guess that doesn't count. Well, I should say... I didn't recognize the name, I do recognize the music. Devil Inside = good song.

    Even though I'm not reading any angel/demon novels due to working on my own paranormal romance draft with both, I have no problem adding books to my "to read" list. Personal Demons is one book I can't wait to add.

  17. I keep seeing so much buzz about this book. Now that I have Nightshade out of my system I really should check this one out. And the INXS references sooo don't help me resist I grew up on INXS. I even watched that silly reality show where they were looking for a someone to sing for them.

    Oh heck with it... Amazon here I come. Thanks a lot Andrea. :P *downloading INXS tunes and adding Personal Demons to cart* My husband is gonna kick my butt for buying another book this week. lol XD

  41. I was born a good decade after the 80s and so I have no idea who these are--but hey, I'll have to admit, they don't sound half bad. Actually, that's an understatement--I'm liking these guys!

    So, so excited for Personal Demons. Plus, I'm hearing lots of positive feedback for Nightshade. I'm looking forward to reading both books!

  45. My name is Andrea, and I am a child of the 80's, but not a fan of INXS. I was obsessed with Madonna and New Kids on the Block.

  51. I was lucky enough to receive and ARC! Personal Demons is so terrific! I enjoyed it every page and had a grin on my face a mile wide most of the time...
    Poor Frannie sure has a difficult decision ... to choose between Good or Better... or maybe better and BEST! hmmmm. Luc wins for me though!
    What a terrific series! I'm certainly a fan of Lisa Desrochers.
