Slay the Demon

By Laura Lee McKellips
Slay the Demon by Laura Lee McKellips digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In 2003, the unthinkable happened- a mass shooting at the local high school. The events of that day will cast a long shadow over the small town of Briar Wall. Kimberly Wilson, one of the surviving victims of that mass shooting, will forever be changed from that one event. She decides to start her own organization, Slay the Demon, to help other victims of mass shootings deal with their inner demons.

In 2016, on the thirteenth anniversary, history repeats itself and another shooter will throw the town back in the shadows. This time instead of the high school, the shooter's target is the elementary school. Matthew Oliver felt relief when he saw that Maggie was okay. He quickly realized that Maggie was only physically okay. Mentally, she was still trapped with the shooter. He will have to learn how to trust someone's treatment of his daughter.

Together, Kimberly and Matt will work to unlock Maggie's mind and free her from the terror of that morning. As they come closer to helping Maggie, lines will be blurred and crossed. Is their attraction passing or will it lead to more?

“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. Briar Wall is a small town but is remembered for one thing, a mass shooting back in 2003. Kimberly Wilson is one of the survivors of that harrowing day, a day that changed her life. This inspires her to start Slay the Demon, an organization that helps victims of mass shootings slay their inner demons. It's a tough line of work emotionally, but for Kimberly, the reward far outweighs the rest. That is until history repeats itself. On the thirteenth anniversary of the shooting, a second shooting happens. This time the gunman targets the elementary school instead of the high school. Matthew Oliver is a local businessman who's daughter attends that school. Relief washes over him when he sees that his daughter is ok. But Maggie is only physically ok. Inside, Maggie is still trapped with the shooter, and Matt must find a way to unlock her from it. He turns to Kimberly. Though apprehensive of her, together they must work together to break Maggie from her emotional cage. I'm not usually a big fan of romance novels, but I really enjoyed it. I love when romance books have more than just a romance in them. Laura Lee writes a great combination of loss and new beginnings that I loved. Courage doesn't mean you're not afraid. Courage means that you don't let fear stop you.”

About Laura Lee McKellips

Self-proclaimed history bluff, Laura Lee McKellips writes romance novels laced with history as well as modern-day trials. She likes to write smart and funny heroines and equally strong and funny heroes.

She is a mixture of all her characters including the males: funny, smart, sassy, outgoing, loving, and guarded. She lets her characters tell their story in their own way much to her dismay at times.

After reading a self-published book in 2013, Laura Lee decided to type out one of the stories floating around in her head. Since then she has written Cursed Soldier, The Woman Behind the Letters, Sorority Sisters Duet (Courtney and Lily), Savannah, Slay the Demon, Falling for Cody, Life in the Moments, Diamond Dirt, and Siren Song. She is currently working on another historic novel based in her hometown.
