"Is it a really scary book?" "Is it going to disturb me?" "I want to give it to my niece... Is it inappropriate for a teenager?" "I'm a Christian... does this book go against my beliefs?" etc.
This post will hopefully answer your questions without giving away any spoilers. Let's get started.
Who is this book geared toward?
I'd be lying if I said it was for everyone. The book is in the genre: New Adult Fantasy Romance. New Adult is a genre of fiction geared toward the ages of 17 to early 30's. Because my book is a Romance, though not overly ooey-gooey, I believe more women would enjoy it than men. Also, you'd have to enjoy Fantasy! (Fantasy books you might've already read: Harry Potter, the Twilight series, The Mortal Instruments, The Hunger Games, etc)
*Also, if you've grown up in Charleston, SC or the surrounding areas, you may love this book more than ever. There is something about reading a book that's based in your hometown or even a town you've been in before!
"I'm easily scared/disturbed. I can't even handle a zombie movie. Is this going to be too much for me?"
I sincerely doubt it. Though there is some suspense and a few spine-chilling characters, there is minimal gore, death, or disturbing scenes.

Is it appropriate for a teenager?
That depends on the parent. If books were rated like movies, I'd give it a PG-13. There are curse words, though pretty sparse. There are no sex scenes, though sex is implied in one chapter. We are definitely not talking 50 Shades of Grey here.

Is this a glorified demon novel?
First off, this book is completely fantasy and fictional. If you believe Harry Potter is a glorified witch/wicca book, then I guess so. There are witch characters, most of them good. There are demon characters, most of them evil. Just like real people though, some of the bad characters have good qualities and vice versa.

What is the significance of the book title?
The title actually came from a Beatles song that never made it big! The actual song has nothing to do with the book, but the name fit.

What are the underlying themes of the book?
I want the series to be about good vs. evil. "God vs. the devil". I want to do this in a way that is sort of like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe...not so obvious. This book is not a Christian novel, but I believe in Christian morals and want to incorporate that into this story. I wouldn't even call myself a Christian, but I believe in God and that He loves us all. Through a completely fictional story, I want the underlying theme of the series to be that God loves us and that to him, there isn't one of us that is completely unforgivable or unlovable.

"I read The Devil in Her Heart in 2 days! It was THAT good! I couldn't put it down!..." -Sabrina
"I couldn't put the book down, the writing is so captivating. It's original and I can't wait for the next book..." -Vanessa
"The author has such a vivid & exquisite imagination! But not so over the top that it couldn't be real! If you've ever been to Charleston, SC you'll recognize some familiar places, which is pretty exciting to see them in a new light... Or darkness... This novel was such an intriguing read and I didn't want to put it down! A MUST for the fantasy reader or anyone who likes a good read." -Amanda
"I don't normally read too often, but I could not be happier about getting my own copy of this book. It was nearly impossible to put down. I actually felt sad finishing it..." -Sarah
