The Devil in Miss Shimmer is an urban fantasy set in Columbus, Ohio and in Cuchillo, Texas. It's a direct sequel to Spellbent and features the continued adventures of Jessie, her familiar Pal, Cooper Marron, and The Warlock.

Here's a quick synopsis of the novel:

Outlaw sorceress Jessie Shimmer and her friends are trapped in an isolated West Texas town that is being decimated by a soul harvester named Miko. As they battle Miko and her minions, Jessie discovers a darkness within herself that she must overcome to save the town, her friends, and her own soul.

"Lucy Snyder's Spellbent marks the debut of a real talent. It's a gripping ride of a story – I couldn't put it down!"
— Sarah Langan, author of Audrey's Door

"Spellbent is a total blast! A fun, unique, and constantly surprising contender for the urban fantasy crown. In her thrilling trial-by-fire debut, Snyder's heroine – Jessie Shimmer – is transformed from young apprentice to first-class magical butt-kicker. I can't wait for book two!"
— Christopher Golden, author of The Myth Hunters

"(Spellbent features) a cast of unforgettable characters and relentless action and suspense. Snyder masterfully weaves a fantastical plot into a real-world setting, never once breaking stride."
— Deborah LeBlanc, author of Water Witch
