Description
THE DEVIL IS SERVING COFFEE
WITH A SIDE OF TEMPTATION
Star author Olivie Blake and artist Little Chmura reunite for a sultry new chapter of seduction and ambition. Art, power and the lure of the seven deadly sins are about to collide.
A lot has changed since the summer the devil came to Clara's hometown.
Now, newly inspired and in control of her life, Clara is pursuing her literary dreams in grad school. And her steadfast boyfriend, Jonah, collects new accolades on the stage. With everything falling into place, there's no reason for Clara to fear the devil's reappearance - until she suspects his attention has strayed to a new victim.
Meanwhile, Gus, an aspiring playwright on campus, encounters a devil of his own: a mysterious barista who plies him with decadent treats and prying questions. Gus has sworn to follow a rigid, monastic lifestyle to achieve his lofty ambitions. Yet the desire to indulge his sweet tooth grows ever stronger.
But he will not be led astray. Not even by the devil.
