Evil in Me is bestselling author Brom's newest novel of possession, damnation, and rock-n-roll where one woman must get the world singing in order to save her soul.
This devilish tale includes nearly two dozen of Brom’s immersive paintings and brilliant endpapers.
Aspiring musician Ruby Tucker has had enough of her small rural town and dysfunctional family. But a falling out with her best friend and bandmate has killed her dreams of escaping and making it big in the Atlanta punk scene.
While helping her eccentric neighbor organize his religious relics, an ancient ring clamps down on her finger―possessing her with the spirit of a blood-thirsty demon. There’s no getting it off unless hundreds of people chant a spell to set Ruby free. And what’s worse, the ring is a beacon for evil, drawing an unimaginably wicked mob straight to Ruby, hungry for her flesh.
If Ruby can get her band back together, she has a shot at salvation. It's time for her to face the music and put her whole soul into a song―one powerful enough to raise some Hell.
The magic's in the music and the music is in... Ruby. Or Ruby Dear, as she is known to the older gentleman with Alzheimer's that she cares for a few days a week.
Ruby is a young woman with a rough home life and a troubled past. Her probation is almost up, and if she can just get through her community service without causing a ruckus she'll be all set to join her friend in Atlanta and get back to making music.
Unfortunately for Ruby, people are making it more difficult than it has to be, and the gentleman she cares for has some old religious relics that can be deadly in the wrong hands. One of these relics pulls Ruby into a dangerous world of demons.
First off, the artwork in this book is amazing. I did not have to try to imagine the demons in my mind because Brom brings them to life in vivid detail.
Evil In Me is the most fun you'll ever have with demons. It's a wild punk rock and folklore filled fantasy horror in a fast-paced world where it takes music to free your soul. I enjoyed every minute of it. I was cheering Ruby on all the way. It has characters I loved and characters I loved to hate.
My thanks to Tor Nightfire for the gifted Hardcover.
