Well, 55 chapters of 600k words, that was it. That was the end.

Honestly, this has been such a wild year. I remember the moment I got the idea, me wanting to be in love with a man that would swipe me off my feet and be the troublemaker my life needed for an adventure. Little did I know, Lilith was gonna be the troublemaker and not Lucifer. I wanted to read something specific, and I asked myself "why not write it?" I had no idea the amount of full adventures DEVILISH was gonna put me thought, without noticing it, this book turned into the change and push my life needed. All of the good. And bad.

I had mental breakdowns, I cried, I (literally) banged my head against the desk because the chapter wasn't working. I laughed, I giggled at something Lucifer said, I struggled with Lilith. I put my heart and soul into this story and I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it, because no matter how many times I stared at the blank space without knowing what to write, hating myself for not being able to come out with anything, I loved every single moment of it.

Lilith is a big reflection of me, more than I intended (and I'd like to admit) to. She's loud and struggles with change, an over thinker and has trouble letting people in. When I started creating her, I left pieces in her that reminded me of my own self. Lilith is a part of me I'll never let go, and I'm glad I got to share her with all of you. And I'm happy to hear she made you laugh, angry, happy or even sad, I tried to made her as human as possible and maybe you even saw something of you in her. She has helped me a lot, even if that can sound weird, she did. And I'll have her in my heart forever.

We can't forget about Lucifer Donovan. What a man. He is truly everything I like in a man, I really checked my list for my dream man and then created Lucifer, huh. He is a true lover, a fighter for love and a character that will always live in my heart. Someone that I truly have to learn from because even if I wrote him, I hope one day to love without fear as he does. Be brave and let love be my strongest emotion. Hopefully he made you laugh, giggle and kick your feet because he sure made me do it.

Every character I made is a piece of my heart that I placed into this story, I wish all of them made you at least forget for a moment something bad from the outside world. Made you laugh or smile. Something that, for a second, made your heart feel good. Warm inside.

This story, DEVILISH, is the first story that I've ever wrote this long and put every brain cell I have left in. I wrote until my fingers hurt, my brain was dead and my eyes wouldn't stay open. I truly mean when I say this, you made it possible for me to continue writing it. To keep going, with your comment, with your vote, even if you were a silent writer, I see you. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, it was you who helped me finish this. Thank you.

With love,

keep going, there's more!
