If you were a fan of Hilary Duff's debut novel "Elixir"—a supernatural love story following 17-year-old photographer Clea Raymond—then we have good news for you: The actress is hard at work on the follow up, "Devoted," due out October 11!
"We're almost finished with it," she told MTV News while walking the carpet last night at Britney Spears' event to support the St. Bernard Project. "This book was a lot easier—this process because the story was kind of figured out, and so it was just extending what was already there."
If you read the Duffster's first novel, you know things were left very unresolved with heroine Clea and her love interest Sage. So what can fans expect in the follow-up? "It's more of her going on an adventure trying to find Sage, who's her soul mate," Hilary dished. "They go on another wild adventure."
And if you wanted to know more about all the supernatural aspects of Clea and Sage's bond (and their many lives together), it sounds like this will be the read for you. "This book is a lot more into the, not sci-fi, definitely into the supernatural. And you find out more about how the elixir works."
Not to be all "judging a book by its cover," but I'm almost more intrigued to see what the artwork for this sequel will look like. There was something about "Elixir"'s deep purple, iris-infused cover that I found so incredibly alluring. Either way, my schedule has been cleared for the reading to commence October 11!
