Drowning in the Deep

by Nicole York

Daemon:

The woman I'm falling for betrays me, and when I ask her to prove she's loyal to me, and only me, she hesitates to do so.

If she’s not willing to do exactly what I ask her to do to prove that she’s on my side, she may as well be dead to me.

As things heat up between the rival factions within my own syndicate, as well as threats from the outside, I can’t let her distract me

It’s either me or her family.

She’ll prove whether or not she’s with me once and for all if she finally agrees to the task I demand of her.

Help me kill her father.

Elisa:

I am falling hard for Daemon, my dark angel, and I need him to know that.

But I’m not a killer.

As much as I hate my father, taking his life would turn me into a monster—which is exactly what he is.

My father is doing everything he can to make me change my mind—including torture and bloodshed.

The final straw that would make me end the bastard’s life?

Killing the man I love.

Would my father go that far and put a hit out on Daemon?

If he does, he will be the next to die—by my hand.

About the author

Nicole York is a woman that loves the thrill of suspense. Whether that be flipping upside down on a roller coaster or sitting on the edge of her seat watching the latest thriller movie, she’s all in. If you see the sports car on the freeway flying by you, take a pic, because you probably just saw her!!

She is the one that always figures out the plot in the movie and comes up with the ending that no one else ever saw coming. It just serves her right that now in the books she writes sometimes the characters take the book a direction the author had not planned on.

[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of DROWNING IN THE DEEP" I loved this intense, riviting, suspense filled drama, so much deceit, secrets, lies, betrayal, angst, humor, loss, steamy scenes, proving loyalty, twists & surprises you didn't see coming.
Daemon & Elisa have so many ups & downs she want to prove her loyalty to him but do what he asked of her because if it didn't work & she was found out she'd be dead woman.
Daemon gets Nico Chernoval a Russian Capo who he needs to help him see that Alexander La Rosa was behind ordering Ragno who's Elisa's cousin to do the attacks on Petrovs, he is working with the Latvian gang the Savages. Alexander is wanting to insert himself into their organization, he's married to Lillian who's Daemon's mother & who's in charge at the moment, Daemon needs the proif so Nico can tell the other Capos so he can take his rightful place as leader of Petrov family.
I definitely recommend to get this action packed rollercoaster ride you can't put down Daemon & Elisa take you on quite the intense emotional journey will these two get their HEA, its a must read for sure.
I'm so looking forward to the next book "SWEET REVENGE" need ASAP after that shocking cliffhanger to see what happens next.
AWESOME RIVITING DARK TWISTED MAFIA ROMANCE 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤

Daemon may be one of the best anti-heroes I've read in a book lately. He's broody and moody. The way he wants Elisa to show him she will do anything for him makes you not want to like him. But then there is the way he's gentle with her. The way he wants to care for her. You can see the conflict because of who she is and he is.

Each book is leading to one heckuva showdown between these two warring families. Can I hope and pray that Elisa's father finally gets what's coming to him? And where is all this leading to? Especially because Daemon's mother is not the greatest woman in the world, either. Those two are not going to win Parent of the Year awards.

This book is darker then the other two (and that's saying a lot). But if you are ready for a mafia story where you have to root for the bad guys, this is the story for you.

I am loving this series! This is book three of this series, told in dual first person POV and leaves you on a cliffhanger. This cannot be read as a standalone. I need more!

I am loving that Daemon is finally starting to acknowledge he has feelings for Elisa. I’m also glad that he is finally starting to see that he can trust her. Elisa definitely redeemed herself to me in this book. I’m so glad she realizes she is stronger than she thought and is finally starting to show it. Things are definitely heating up for them both and I seriously can’t wait to see how this story unfolds!

This is book 3 in this series and like previous 2 leaves a cliffhanger. I would have to say this book is much darker than the others as well. I really feel for Elisa, the conflict she is going through trying to prove her loyalty, but I also see the conflict in Daemon, as he is starting to see that he can trust her. Be prepared for one extreme rollercoaster ride!!!!
If you enjoy mafia, romance, some good fueding between families, some great sizzling scenes and cliffhangers than grab this series and enjoy the ride!!

DROWNING IN THE DEEP Dancing With the Devil Book #3 by Nicole York
Nicole York has really been knocking this series out of the park and this 3rd book is no exception, it is an excellent continuation of the story! There is so much intensity, suspense, angst, betrayal, brutality, lies, danger and the attraction between Daemon and Elisa is combustible, whether he is ready for it or not. This leaves off at a painful point for a cliffhanger. I am anxiously awaiting the next in the series and hoping La Rosa gets his comeuppance in the end. Congrats Nicole this is addictive! This is 5 stars.

[Brenda Moser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book in the series and the author does not disappoint! She once again brings a page turner as Daemon and Elisa are coming together and heating up the pages. She does a great job painting her scenes and moves the story fluidly, delivering another fantastic read. I'm looking forward to her next book!

Next instalment in this series, continuing the story of feuding mafia families who treat each other, even in personal relationships, with distrust, disrespect and a certain amount of disdain, even if they are sexually attracted! The action is non stop and the book does warn it leaves you on a cliff hanger, I can’t wait for the next instalment in this series and to find where this is going, I gratefully received it as an ARC in return for an honest review

[Sammye · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 3rd installment in the Dancing With the Devil series is So good. I could not put it down! Daemon’s and Elisa’s turbulent journey continues. There’s nonstop action, drama, suspense and hotness! I cannot wait to read Sweet Revenge to see what happens next between Elisa, her father and Raven. I know it’s going to be epic! Be aware, there is a cliffhanger in this one. *this was a complimentary copy and this is my honest review*

[Sally · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book in the series and gets even darker.
Daemon is still fighting his attraction and feelings for Elisa while also trying to keep his enemies at bay.
Elisa knows that she will do anything for Daemon but can she kill her father.
Some really hard scenes to read and so much drama and suspense with so much emotion but can they come out on top.
Ends on a cliffhanger and i can't wait for the next book.

Five stars all the way. This is a captivating book that keeps you up til the wee hours. The 3rd book in this author’s Dancing With the Devil Series and it is not to be missed. The story follows Daemon and Elisa. A cat and mouse thriller in many ways that keeps you reading. My favourite so far my literally couldn’t put it down. Daemon demands that Elisa stands by while a hit is put on her father in order for her to prove her loyalty. Not for the faint hearted.

[Merry Jelks-Emmanuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book in the series where Daemin and Elisa keeps you turning the pages in this thrilling story that is action-packed drama. It ends on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait for the next book in the series to see what happens next!
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

[Erika · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nicole York has written a dark twisted mafia story. Deceit and drama are around every corner. Never knowing who to trust makes it difficult to find the truth. The one person that should be loyal is showing their true colors. This fast paced mafia up in arms and fighting for the rightful.pkace. I was riveted by the characters all that they go through.

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

The emotional roller coaster ride of heartbreak and drama continues! More suspense, betrayal, wondering who to trust, and Daemon gets a bit darker and meaner. And the steamy attraction continues despite the doubts and machinations. I'm hanging on for dear life, anxious to see how this can possibly grow to an for our MCs.

[LeMiliere · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is a gripping rollercoaster ride that takes you on a dark and mysterious journey that leaves you wanting more. The characters are well-drawn and interesting and although this story darker than the earlier books I loved it. If you are a fan of dark mafia romance then this is one not to miss.

I'm looking forward to the next book I can't wait to see how this everything plays out

[Krystal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good but slow

I don't know what it was about book 3 but I had to force myself to read it. It had a good story line continuing the story of daemon and elisa but for some reason I just couldn't get into it like the first two books. I might have just been in a reading slump along with it tho. Either way I will be reading the fourth and final book!

[Ann Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

This third book in the series is darker, has plenty of violence and steam. Daemon begins to care for Elisa , as she tries to prove her loyalty to Daemon. A really gripping read with lots of drama and intrigue. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy.
