Hell Becomes Her, the latest book in R.A. McCandless’ Flames of Perdition series,
releases Thursday, November 19th. Here’s what all the fuss is
about:
Angels should be a human’s worst nightmare. Del didn’t think there
was anything worse than angels, or their fallen kin, demons. She and her
partner Marrin helped to keep the world safe from the horrors of escaped demons
for generations. But when Del’s daughter is kidnapped by a shadowy group, Del
will find that the world is even more dangerous than she suspected.
There are worse things than angels and demons.

Excerpt
The
doors slid back exactly as they were supposed to, and Del pointed both her SIGs
through the opening. She knew it was wrong. Two hands on one gun with a
straight-thumbs hold was the correct way to give proper support to aim and
shoot quickly and consistently. Hollywood liked to show action heroes shooting
from the hip, or blasting away without aiming and taking down a room full of bad
guys, whose best response was to fire impotently at the ceiling or comically
into other bad guys. It was all so much useless eye candy. A gun in each hand
gave support to neither and made it impossible to sight. She’d need independent
use of each of her eyes, like a chameleon, to train the guns on different
targets at the same time.
Del knew
it was wrong, but it looked damned impressive from the receiving end.
“Hold
your fire!” a voice commanded from outside the elevator. “Hold your fire!”
Del
wasn’t certain if the order was for her, the two ranks of Ljosalfar soldiers in
their body armor who surrounded the elevator, or both. Either way, holes
weren’t being punched into her favorite skin and that was a good thing. She
might still die, riddled with bullets and spitting blood, but not yet. Not yet.
She
unwrapped and wrapped her fingers on her SIGs, and smiled.
“Hello
boys,” Del said. “Who wants some?”
“Hold
your fire!” Alfred Waru said again.
“Alfred,
you cunning bastard,” Del purred. “Come on in and give me a hug. I’ve solved
almost all your problems. There’s only one left.”
“I’d
rather you put down your weapons,” Alfred replied. Del homed in on his voice
from behind the second rank of soldiers, but couldn’t make him out through all
the helmets. “We’ve locked the elevator. The doors won’t close, and the car
won’t move. Let’s talk about this.”
“Talk
about what?” Del said and laughed. “How you lied to your people? How you betrayed and murdered your own? How you’ve doomed them through your schemes
and plots?”
