Dark Devotions by Nichole Greene

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I want to thank my family. Day in and day out you all meet me with understanding and encouragement. It’s not easy to have mommy disappear for hours in the evening and sneak away every few months for a weekend writing getaway but you all continue to amaze me with your support. Mom and Dad, thank you for always being my number one fans.

Miranda. This book wouldn’t have poured out of me the way it did without your plotting assistance. Our hours of writing sprints were supremely beneficial, and I don’t think I can write without you now. And my God, the pep talks. I can’t say much, or I’ll start bawling because no one wraps a compliment in a burn quite like you, it’s so weirdly inspiring. I love you so much.

Karley, my emotional support Canadian, I love you so much. That’s it. I just love you.

My cover artist and formatter at Mayhem Cover Designs. You guys are phenomal and so great to work with!

My bookstagram family. You guys keep sane and laughing! Darby and Claire, thank you so much for the editing and proofreading prowess. The hill I choose to die on is that ‘long’ is a perfectly fine adjective for fishing poles. Yashi, you are the freaking bee’s knees. Thank you for never getting too irritated when you have to send me ten thousand reminders about Facebook takeovers.

My beta team is honestly perfection. Sherry and Valerie, I don’t have words for how much I appreciate you two. Rachel, you’ve been with me so long, thank you for always giving amazing feedback. Jenn, you are inspiring human being with everything you have going on day to day. Then add in everything you do for the indie author community and the feedback you give us. The video edits you make are everything.

I owe an overwhelming debt of gratitude to my street team. You ladies are absolutely amazing. Your support across social media is invaluable. Seriously, the edits and tiktoks and aesthetics you create are so beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Last but not least, the readers. I am so grateful to you for choosing my books out of the thousands of options at your fingertips. Thank you for loving my characters and reviewing my books, I read every one of them. To those readers who have become friends (Hayles, I’m looking at you) thank you for reaching out and striking up a conversation with me.
