Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / The Book Depository

Description:
The demons strike back!

Lily is working with the angels to stifle the last of the demon outbreaks and to figure out how to stop the Silence of God, so life can get back to boring normality. But all hell breaks loose when she’s stolen from school and brought face to face with the devil himself. Lily has to find her way back home to Luc, crack the prophecy that breaks the curse silencing God, and figure out how she and Luc can ever really be together. But Lucifer has other plans for her that don’t include her ever getting out of Hell intact.

Review:

The Devil Made Me Do It by Shawna Romkey is the second book in her Speak of The Devil Series.  This book continues with Lily and Luc still battling demons in the classic good versus evil scenario. In the first battle we encounter Lily in, a battle with demons, she is shot by an unknown assailant. This brought me right back to the love between Luc and Lily. He is her protector and her guardian angel. But Lily can’t help but think about what will happen when Luc’s mission is over? When he returns to his place in heaven. What is to become of Lily?

This book brings forth Lilith and the Church of the Guardian Angels. I truly enjoyed the religious aspect of this book. I am by no means of a religious nature but the aspect contained here in this book leaves you contemplating and thirsty for more. It also made me wanting to know more and to research quite a bit. The perfect story makes you question and enquire. Both of which this has done.

Lily and Luc while battling and protecting each other made my heart ache. I found myself wondering about halfway through what will become of them? Just like Lily – I wondered what will happen when Luc’s mission on earth is over? I enjoyed the previous book’s characters coming back – such as Mike and Tim. I found the concept quite intriguing. The book takes an epic turn when Lily is captured by Lucifer, and must find her way out of Hell and back to Luc. Oh and also stop the Prophecy from happening… Not much, right?

I enjoyed this book and was patiently waiting for its release. My heart broke on the last couple of pages. Sadness at what Lily has lost and wondering how she ever get it back and what if she doesn’t?
