{"product_id":"9780988728943","title":"The Lie Spinners","description":"Last summer, with the help of demon-killer Stephen Tapper, Raven Smith faced Hell on Earth to stop the demon-apocalypse (or more like, put it on hold). Raven made a deal with the Grand Marquis of Hell: he would not open the gates of hell if she promised not to fall in love with anyone until he returned for her. \u003cp\u003eAlmost a year has passed and summer has come again...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaven is safe. Relatively. She's protected. Doggedly. She's away from the demons, the hell, the madness. Until she falls asleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the earth-witch Madeline shows up in Raven's hometown (aka her prison), calling in Raven's life-debt, Raven shouldn't even listen to Madeline's proposal. But she does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadeline tells her that months ago, Stephen travelled to Thailand to track down a magician called The Spider; but within days of arriving, Stephen vanished. Every person (be they witch or demon-killer) Madeline sent to find Stephen was hunted down, overwhelmed and murdered by demons. The message Madeline received after all attempts failed was clear: send in Raven Smith or Stephen dies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing to Thailand might possibly be the stupidest decision Raven could ever make... there are a thousand reasons why Raven should stay guarded, protected, safe; only one reason why she shouldn't. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rita Stradling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49836388352240,"sku":"9780988728943","price":18.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780988728943","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
