Jill Willis does a fantastic job in her debut novel, touching on all the things coming up against today's teens, including the devil himself. Well-written, relatable, and thought-provoking. – Creston Mapes, author of 12 adult thrillers.

Joy McLain is gunning for valedictorian. Her brother Daniel has his heart set on leading the JV soccer team to victory. They're on course to rack up honors and trophies.
Nothing can deter them.

Except the most popular guy at school: Hunter Haddix. Everywhere they turn, the star quarterback's there lending them a hand. What's up with that? Joy's not his type. She's a nerd, not a cheerleader. And Daniel's a lowly freshman with a below-average GPA.

Hunter offers them each a deal.

Not for the street Adderall Joy's abusing. Or completed homework for Daniel. Hunter guarantees he'll fulfill their dreams if they recruit followers for his boss. As a bonus, he offers them eternal life . . . on earth.

A divine messenger warns the siblings about Hunter's deals, and their eyes are opened to the reality of angels and demons.
But Hunter is relentless, and now he's after their friends. Are the siblings willing to overcome their inner demons to fight for their friends' souls?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jill K Willis is the author of "The Demons Among Us," a young adult Christian speculative novel about two siblings who must overcome their inner demons to fight the very real ones that are holding their friends hostage.

She grew up in Atlanta and, after graduating from the University of Georgia, worked for a newspaper, a magazine publisher, and a large telecommunications company before establishing a public relations firm that she ran for 16 years. Then she turned to fiction.

Jill’s a founding member of the Storyteller Squad, a blog for teens who love to read and write. In 2020, she won two writing awards for "The Demons Among Us": The American Christian Fiction Writers Genesis Contest-YA Category and the ACFW South Carolina Chapter’s First Page Novel Contest.

As a mom of two grown children and three godchildren, and as a senior-high Sunday school teacher, she knows the struggles teens encounter. She wants to point them to the love of God and the truth of His Word.

She volunteers at the Atlanta Airport’s USO, plays handbells at her church, and as a former Junior League president, continues to assist her local chapter with special projects.

Jill lives on a lake in Georgia with her husband and a one-eyed cat. She’s currently working on the sequel to "The Demons Among Us." Her children proof her chapters when they’re bored.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of action between Good & Evil!
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2021

Well written and well paced story. Vividly portrays the struggle between good and evil that students face in life. The supernatural is very much a part of this book: angels and demons appear to help or to tempt a group of close friends. Even animals--owls and snakes--are used by the forces of good and evil to aid or scare them. Friends see friends who've said "Yes" to the demons get over their heads in trouble, and try to rescue them. Plenty of action!

5.0 out of 5 stars Christian Spooky
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2021
The Demons Among Us is a unique find in Christian literature. Geared toward teens, its funny and relatable while uncovering undercurrents of truth in our world.

I like this book because, as a former eighth grade Bible teacher, kids want to understand the spirit world. Many stories one might share about the demonic are hard to believe. It’s the “stranger than fiction” concept. Plus, you want to be careful what you share isn’t actually stoking an unhealthy interest in the demonic. Willis walks this line very well, shining light on evil and pointing young people to the reality that God is victorious over all of the forces of darkness. The fact that it’s a fictional story gives her agency to tease out ideas that require more imagination and provide plenty of spooks. Even cynics can set aside their disbelief for the sake of the great story. As they do so, readers meander through many weighty Biblical themes that can guide young people through truths about God.

For example, God works through human agency, which is one of many great theological concepts playing out in this book. It would be nothing for God to snap his fingers and remove evil from the earth, and yet… he doesn’t. So then, what is going on while it feels like darkness is taking over? What are we supposed to be doing? Why do we love our enemies and when do we fight against them? The characters in The Demons Among Us are wrestling with the same questions, as well as feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. They find help in each other, in their families, and in God’s supernatural protection as they put their faith to work.

Finally, just a note on how much I enjoy how Willis writes her characters. They are distinct, likable, and fallible, which makes it easy to relate to their good and bad decisions. Through her story, characters wrestle within themselves while we still like them. It's a message of grace and mercy that many of our young adults and teens need to hear more often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary tale in time for Halloween
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021
One way the devil gets us on to dangerous ground is to put doubts into our minds. He likes to use our insecurities and our desires against us.

The novel Demons Among Us presents some troubling scenarios of various choices teens face. Battling some don’t appear that dangerous. What’s so wrong about wanting to be valedictorian or getting good grades? What’s wrong with excelling in sports or music? Doesn’t everybody want to be beautiful and successful? Each of us—even Christians who go to church services and activities each week—aren’t immune to these tactics. But it just takes a small shift in our attitude to send us down the wrong path. The first discretion leads to the next and the next, gaining speed like a snowball growing in size as it plummets the mountainside.

More dangerous temptations are to experiment with drugs and alcohol or to play around with the occult. Everyone wants to be accepted and loved. It’s easy to overstep some bounds including sexual temptation or assessing an attractive person.

Demons Among Us is a gripping tale of choices. Each person makes lots of little choices that lead up to some big choices. One of these choices is who will we serve? God or Satan? Each of us answers for ourselves. We want to bring others with us, but we can’t. This chilling story makes one think. Like in real life, we get to see the results of both choices.

What would you do if demons invaded your school? This is a speculative young adult novel, but it hits the truth with clarity. Frank Peretti fans will love this novel. And if you want to observe what’s going on in this community for a scary tale in time for Halloween, find yourself a copy of Jill K. Willis’ novel, Demons Among Us.

I purchased my copy from the author website so it could be autographed.
