The Devil: Devil's Playground Duet, Book 1

Well, that was an amazing book. Twists and turns. I truly Can’t wait for book two…. In about five minutes!

So, let me first start by saying that this actually was a great story and I’m giving the author her props on ability to make you feel as you are reading this story, that you are there...in the room watching as a spectator while a whole bunch of craziness is happening....With that said, I love a good story, but I’m also a fan of 100% honest disclosures. I don’t have any issues with author’s creativity of their craft, but be up front prior to bringing the reader in.I read the summary of this book but not the reviews....I don’t typically read a book based on someone else’s opinion, mostly b/c my opinion of what I want to read and what not to read is my own, and if I don’t know you, why would I allow your feedback to factor if I move forward with the book or not ( plus most folks tell you about the story instead of just an overall opinion of the book, which sucks!! ) I know already what’s going to happen even before I get to read it!!! Just being honest..summaries are what makes my decision.So if you want to read this book and want the shock your not expecting..STOP ✋ 🛑 here & start reading.......I love a good story and I will tell you, Damien King is off the chain and had me cracking up. Cain, I was a little indifferent with in the beginning and then by the end of the story he turned out to be a REAL dick.....Now this brings me back to my initial Point about the very weak, one liner disclosure statement in the beginning of the story by the author. She should have just removed the SUPER gray area in her Warning and should have given us the honest black and white truth letting us know that this book contained and was about two friends that are men and one of them enlightens the other about male pleasures and bisexuality experiences very descriptive details and scenarios of male to male sex that play a MAJOR factor in the beginning of this series...Although it didn’t bother me in the sense that I was shocked and was like OMG 😲 I can’t continue to read this, because again DAMIEN had me hooked!!! Another person may not be as receptive and forgiving, especially if it’s unexpected, not what they are looking to read, and the fact they have invested time in the story.. Adding a M2M as a lot of authors do would simply fixed that disclaimer.For the author I would have disclosed that this story contained this BIG unexpected twist ( which I will remind you was NOT no where in the summary)Other than that the story was a hoot, funny and crazy with the unexpected.. with that I give it 4 stars!!

Ahhh! Cannot wait to read what happens next. So spicy, great twists, poor Mrs. Miller, oooo Cain & Damien. Seriously can’t wait to read the next bit!

Gosh darn lglgjjgnfkfjdh where has this book been all my life?!!! Ok I lie, I’ve had it on my tbr and people have been telling me to read it for months and I kept waiting for the right moment. Well, the right moment was last night and I’m glad it’s the start of a weekend because this book grabbed me by the hoo-haa and refuses to let me go. The author literally had me at her subtle yet chilling content warning. It has a lot of the elements I tend to seek out in my reading lately (I won’t say which), twisted to perfection. I devoured it in hours and almost went straight into the next one, but I might have to bail on the party I’ve to go to if I did that.This book is the fulfillment of all the dark, twisted, effed up dreams I didn’t even know I had. With a truckload of brilliant, brain screwy twists at every turn. Just when you think it can’t get any more messed up or a character can’t shock you more, bam, the author throws you a curveball you didn’t see coming. And it’s like each of the characters are competing to be more evil than the other. Or more accurately, more broken and disturbed than each other. She throws their actions into stark relief, leaving you to ruminate on their humanity/evilness. I finished one whole book of the duet, but I’m no closer to understanding anyone’s true colors yet. Except maybe Eden’s.I’m not even going to touch the topic of the hero. Because it really is best to go blind to get the maximum experience out of this book. And I’ve heard book two is going to screw with my head even more; and I look forward to it. Also, I cannot stress enough on how unabashedly, evilly, furiously hot it is. I mean, oh my holy fires of hell, just read it and you’ll know what I mean 🔥 But also know this book is not going to be for everyone. It’s a cliche but do not proceed, abort if you’re faint of heart. There’s some seriously sick shiz happening so best be prepared for it to get weird and dark AF.

I skimmed a lot. I had a hard time getting into this book. The constant jumping of pov and from past to present threw me out of the story.I did finish it so that deserves at least 3 stars.

Honestly one of the best books I have read in a while!There are so many twists and turns, I couldn't put it down.Going to dive head first into the next book!

I simply could not put this down... its steamy, mysterious and surprisingly funny as hell.But also, DIFFERENT. I needed different and that’s definitely what I got with the deal, just maybe don’t go into this expecting a swoony lovey read and you won’t be disappointed!!

I don’t know where to begin ... this story went somewhere I had no idea was coming .... I’m speechless because this is not how I thought the story would go when I began. Now I have to read the second book because I have to know what happens or my head might explode. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and if the rest of her books are like this I will have to read them too.

This book blew my mind, surpassed my expectations, was totally unexpected.From the morally questionable characters, to the sarcastic humor, engaging writing, original story line to the amazing plot twists and fantastic cliffhanger, I was glued to my seat through this journey like you wouldn't believe.My only critique... cringy sexy times.Otherwise, went in blind and it was the best decision. Starting book 2 now!

Ok. This wasn't what I was expecting, but it was a pleasant surprise. I start loving Cain and seeing him as someone who's struggles with bad shi* and hate Damien for whta he was donig with Cain and Eden, but as the story goes by and see an other side of the backstory ugh! I really want Cain to suffer... I'll just have go with the next book and see what happens. But I love so much this book, it keeps me going from start to end not bothering to eat LOL.
