Today we’re excited to host a cover reveal for A Little Death Among Friends by Ben Schenkman, the fourth book in The Devil You Know series of urban fantasy that begins with My Boss is the Devil, which Nils reviewed and enjoyed.

So what’s this fourth book all about?

Everyone deserves a vacation. But for Death, going on holiday has dire consequences.

After Nick’s brush with the afterlife, the agency is operating in full swing and things are finally calming down. Their short peace is interrupted by a rumor from “upstairs” that Death has gone missing. Unable to say no to a friend in need, Nick is on the case. When he sits in Death’s chair it leaves him with an unwanted promotion, threatening to separate him from his humanity.

Rob has his own problems, with his dad suffering from a terminal diagnosis and fights against old impulses when Nick’s misfortune presents an irresistible opportunity to save his father’s life. To help Nick solve his problem, Amy risks tangling with an old friend of Mel’s that may cost her more than she bargained for.

This might be the end of the road for the intrepid trio if they can’t find a solution to Nick’s unintended death wish.

About the Author

Ben Schenkman likes many things in life: his 20-pound Maine coon cat, his family, his coffee, and his eclectic hobbies—not necessarily in that order.

Ben also likes to play devil’s advocate in his urban fantasy books by exploring the gray areas of good and evil with questions like, “Does the end really justify the means? Or is it all simply black and white?” Ben leaves these questions lingering in the ether to challenge readers’ conventional thinking and delve into the complexities of moral dilemmas.

As a native of Connecticut, Ben draws inspiration from his upbringing and college years in New Haven, where his novels take place. When he wants to escape being a writer, he’s a massive foodie who goes on gastronomic adventures, an overachiever who collects degrees in Theater, Nuclear Engineering, and an MBA, or the manager/performer of the fire dance troupe, HVBRIS—all in a day’s work, really.
