~**~ ARC Review: Devil by Ker Dukey ~**~



***5 ‘Crazy Colors’ Stars***


Hello mind fuck.


I honestly didn’t know which way was up half the time and I was absolutely captivated by it all. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, here’s your opportunity. It was dark (I know, duh it is a Ker Dukey book, but not everyone heeds the warning) and messed with my head more often than not but I couldn’t put it down and I found Evi, and Max, absolutely fascinating.


Evi absolutely fascinated me. Being in her head, seeing the world through her eyes was truly an experience. Calling her past hellish is an understatement but as all of the events unfolded two mythological creatures kept popping into my head in association with her: The chimera and the phoenix. One is easier to explain than the other, but when you read the book you’ll understand.
And then there is Max. If you are in Dukey’s darKER souls FB group you will know how she feels about Max and I wholeheartedly agree. He is everything and in order to find out why, you will have to read the book. Not fair, I know, but trust me when I saw you will fall for this man. And as for their romance? Let’s just say it is epic and they were truly meant to be together forever.


I’m not sure what to call this book. Dark Romance. Dark Romantic Suspense. Dark Suspense. All fit and none fit. The twists and turns played with my head and I had to go back and read a couple things to make sure I had the facts straight and when everything finally came clear it was like “Whoa!” and made absolute sense. So if you can handle the dark themes and situations that tend to go hand in hand with a Ker Dukey book and want to fall down the rabbit hole for a couple hours, pick up this book and enjoy the hell out of it!

DEVIL.
A DARK SUSPENSE NOVEL.


Evi Devil.
Yes, that’s really my name.
The irony is not lost on me.
I was created from two evil souls and have the name to prove it.
Devil worshipers, perverts, murderer. Is all terms used to describe the parents I refuse to remember. My mind won’t allow me to.
And why would I want to?
One born of dirty blood running through her veins can never truly be clean from its murky hue.
No matter what they try to tell me happened in my past, my mind denies me access, therefore how can I know it’s true?
How can I believe that’s what I’m born from?
Glimpses of my past haunt me, the screams of terror echo in the silent darkness of my memories, trying to remind me that my Mother went from room to room butchering our family.
I’ve learned from scars that I suffered abuse and that my Father and siblings weren’t my Mother’s only victims.
Hearing what they tell me.
Reading the words printed in the papers. None of it can prepare me for what’s to come.
My biggest lesson is learning that some memories we suppress for a reason.

My books all tend to be darker romance, edge of you seat, angst filled reads. My advice to my readers when starting one of my titles...prepare for the unexpected.


I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters growing up. We also used to put on performances by acting out stories. I wanted to become an actress from an early age so I could live out many roles but unfortunately I learned early on that my mind was too active...(I would end up wanting to change the script)
I would watch films or TV shows and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so I thought it best that I tell my own.


My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light; some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.


When I'm not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I'm a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.


Come find me on facebook where i love interacting with my readers.
