The Devil Couldn't Reach Me

"Twenty years before the events of 'Sympathy for the Devil', Sally Thames's (Bennett's mother) story begins.

Foster kid, loner, and unwitting pawn in a centuries-old game, Sally's life is about to take a dramatic turn. With a string of foster homes and a penchant for getting into trouble, Sally's just trying to survive. But when she meets Riley Eoghan, a centuries-old Banhee with a sarcastic tongue and a dark past with an added unhealthy craving for trouble, she finds herself drawn into a world of Celtic mythology and supernatural danger. Sally becomes a beacon to all supernatural instances she's done her best avoiding at past foster placements. Now, she must face the truth or there will be deadly consequences.

As Sally navigates this treacherous new hellscape, she's torn between her growing feelings for Micah, a human with his own secrets, and the eerie allure of Riley's supernatural world. But when Arawn, the Lord of the Underworld, is banished and seeks revenge on the world above, Sally's choices will have grave repercussions. As the stakes grow higher, Sally must confront the darkness within herself and decide where her loyalties truly lie.

In a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, Sally must navigate the treacherous landscape of Celtic mythology and confront the ultimate question: what does it mean to be human?

'The Devil Couldn't Reach Me' is a gripping, dark, and romantic prequel to the 'Sympathy for the Devil' series, perfect for fans of Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, and Leigh Bardugo."
