Dead Devil's Night

Rate this book
ONE NIGHT. That was all it took for Rylan's world to disappear. A year has passed, filled with plotting. Because this year, on that one night, she will make them pay. THIS DEAD DEVIL’S NIGHT, SHE WILL GIVE THEM THEIR OWN INTRODUCTION TO HELL.
Maree's Warning, this book is a whychoose MFM dark contemporary romance. It contains very explicit 18+ dark, sexual content, and straight-up smut. There are no heroes here, only characters with psycho tendencies and therefore there is unaliving people, and lots of dark and twisted content. There is a warning list at the front of the book but please feel free to reach out to me on social media prior to purchasing. Proceed at your own risk, if you dare. All the characters are 18+

Novella, but wow that got dark! And not rushed! Revenge for trauma that happened a year ago on Dead Devils Night, Rylan has lost everything after that night and has been living a year only for revenge and other were some twists! And what is trippy is that while I do not like gore- I actually wanted a little more. Totally justified, she had every single reason to snap. Please check triggers before opening, but once you do you really have no qualms with what’s done- first was the most gruesome but satisfying….. oh yeah good and dark!

This was just alright for me. It’s super short and follows Rylan as she goes out to seek revenge. It was just missing something for me.

The prologue sets up the catalyst for Rylan going off the rails and it includes a gang rape, so FYI if that is a hard limit for you. The rest is a quick read of a badass getting revenge with a bit of smut.

Bottom Line- It was ok. There’s plenty of action, but it was a tad repetitive, and the characters were a little flat. We’re told and shown them acting crazy, but I never FELT it. It was like they were going through the motions but never really committing emotionally to sell the psycho-ness. If that makes sense. It sort of felt like watching bad actors try to act nutso, so there was this disconnect for me at least.

I absolutely loved and devoured this book. It is inspired by my favorite movie of all time. Written by one of my favorite authors so I knew it was going to be good.

Rylan met Rev and Kai at one of the worst times of her life and built a strong bond. They did everything together until Dead Devil’s night took it all away. She has been through hell and comes back stronger than ever. She is determined to seek revenge for the men and the life she lost.

Rylan becomes an absolute badass out for revenge. A year of plotting a year of planning and it all comes down to one night.

Rev & Kai these twins are 🥵. They cared for Rylan, they protected her until that fateful night that changed everything.

This book was a fast, easy and incredible read filled with vengeance, twists and turns, blood, and spice. I loved this book so much and I highly recommend it!!

Я думала, що хлопці помруть, а вона за них мстила, але виявляється вони вижили, і думали, що ВОНА померла, впринципі мені сподобалась, як ті, хто її гвалтував помер

The initial story was amazing. But the smut part ruined it. Once was enough. It could have repeated in the end rather than in the middle again.

Book Review:
What happens when you are shifted to a foster home but then you meet two amazing twins? Once you cross the age of 18, you shift with them. But on the day of Dead Devil's night, your entire world changes. What do you think could have happened? What do you think twins would have been doing when you were suffering because all they wanted to do was protect you? How do you think the FMC (Rylan) will plan her revenge and make these people pay for what they did on Dead Devil's Night?

Tropes & T/Ws:

>> Novella
>> Dark romance
>> R@pe
>> Torture/ Murder
>> MFM romance
>> Revenge
>> Mention of drugs
>> Immolation
>> Twin brothers

Read this novella and know how she took her revenge and the story with twin brothers.

Okay so first off I would like to say that 3 stars is not bad!
Three stars to me means that I really enjoyed it, but I am not completely OBSESSED.
As an obsessive gorl, I would give every single book 5stars because I love books so easily.
SO, I promise this isn’t a bad review.

I really really enjoyed this. Super quick and easy.
Spicy. Lots of murder and revenge. Twin brothers 😮‍💨
And a crazyyyyy plot twist that I did NOT see coming…like AT ALL!!

This is practically The Purge meets John Wick plus ✨spice✨

I definitely recommend for anyone who wants a quick, easy, and very entertaining read!

Vigilante Violet haired heroine



Rylan is out for blood after her best friends were tortured and killed last dead devils night. One year prior her best friends twins Kai & Rev and herself were ambushed by 5 men. They tortured all 3 of them and then forces Kai & Rev to watch the SA of Rylan. Believing she was dead she was saved by a man and nurses back to health off the grid. Now a year later she has concocted a plan to kill each of the men who took Kai & Rev from her. This is a purge style vigilante storyline with some twists and turns along the way. Quick paced with a few spicy scenes along the way.

MFM • Dark Romance • Twins • Spicy • Dark and Twisted • Revenge • Short & Fast Paced

Everything this author writes is just amazing!
Short read. It’s dark so check trigger warnings. I love a good revenge story.

Rylan is an amazing FMC. And the twins, Rev & Kai whoa loved them! The spice in this was so good. Plot was amazing & the gore..loved it!

If you want a streamy revenge story pick up this book!

Basically a smutty version of The Purge. Be warned, the story opens with the violent SA of the FMC. It isn't too graphic but it's still pretty detailed in case you may get triggered. Do check the trigger warnings.

Despite the average rating I gave, this novella wasn't bad at all. I enjoyed reading about how the FMC got her revenge on the r*pists and I was NOT expecting the horrifying plot twist in this novella. I just wished there was a bit more that we could have learned about our MMCs and the FMC. I feel like I learned more about the r*pists than our main characters :((

Nevertheless, if you're looking to read about a badass woman on her revenge arc and DETAILED descriptions of how the revenge was executed and her smut with two brothers, here's a book for you!

This is a short story about revenge and some hot twins. It’s fast paced, and has some fun little twists along the way. The only bad thing is that it left me wanting more! Happy Dead Devil’s Night 😈

I received this as an ARC

This was a fast-paced, high intensity, dark revenge, and all happens in one night book! Well, actually, two... the same night two years apart.
The worst night of Rylan's life happened one year ago on Dead Devil's Night (the night when anything can happen) the night the cops turn their backs and let the depraved out to play, and if you dont want to take part stay inside to hide away. She lost the only two people who matter to her, and tonight, the people who took them from her are going to pay for it. She is ready and she is prepared.
Rev and Kai lost the love of their life and the only person they ever cared about other than each other on Dead Devils Night one year ago and the men who took their purple hair goodness away from them are going to pay for that crime. They have waited a whole year for this night to get their payback.They are angry, and they are ready for revenge.

This was a quick, MFM novella that reminded me of "Purge" and "I Spit on Your Grave". It’s heavy focused on the assault/revenge trope. I liked the premise but wasn’t too keen on how it was carried out.

It wasn't my cup of tea, but if you like dark romance, you should definitely check it out.

this was like the Mindf*ck series but shorter, why choose (MFM), taboo (MM are twins), and less graphic detailed (imo)! it was so good, i loved every second of it. also the plot twists?!?! oh my god i was not expecting that! a strong fmc does something to me. my only reason for giving it 4 stars is because i wish a certain scene was more intense, otherwise it was perfection.

SPOILER 🖤 keep reading if you want to know what scene i’m talking about 🖤 SPOILER

the scene that i wish was more intense was their reunion, i feel like it was rushed and if it had more details, was longer, or even more of a shocked/slow burn feel it would have been an immediate 5/5 stars!

Oh my lanta....👀🫠🥵

So freaking much is going on in this book, and I swear @mareeroseauthor gets better and better every single book!

Rylan has lived a rough life up until meeting Rev & Kai. They were a tripod and built an amazing, strong lasting foundation together. Until....Dead Devil's Night...🤐

Moving on from that night was no easy feat for Rylan, but she knew on the anniversary she'd get her revenge!

Our fearless Rylan is a super woman bad@ass who I instantly fell in love with! She has no sh!ts to give and takes no sh!t from anyone!

Rev & Kai 🥵🥵🥵 oh my gosh! I can't even begin to explain them without ruining it for you. Just trust me, you'll love them too! 😘

This book was fast-paced, quick, and easy read, but also one you'll read in one sitting because it's so dang good! This would be an amazing book for you to add to your spooky TBR!!

Maree Rose has to be one of my favorite authors. From how absolutely bat sh*t crazy her characters are (Perfectly crazy and morally dark grey) to how intense the mature scenes are. Her work always has me either giddy or shouting at the pages. 5 stars for story, characters, spice, and overall readability. (And usually the highest on spice I rate has been 4 stars until Maree)

Perfect Halloween short read! It's dark, dirty and gripping. An MFM short horror story with some spice. Please check the triggers warnings as always. The ending was perfect I'm so glad Rylan got her happy ever after with her men!

U této recenze si s dovolením rozsvítíme, tahle novela byla totiž opravdu dark! A myslím to vážně, zde rozhodně dbejte na přečtení TW. Kdybych měla knihu k něčemu přirovnat, řekla bych vám, že je to combo filmů The Purge (Očista) a I Spit on Your Grave (Plivu na váš hrob) okořeněné notnou dávkou sexu. Oba filmy jsou brutální, ale já je mám ráda a tento příběh jsem si tudíž taky čtenářsky užila. Byť autorčina inspirace pocházela zcela odjinud, musím říct, že nás Maree solidně protáhla temnotou.

Dead Devil's Night je nocí, kdy neplatí žádné zákony, to se stane osudným hlavní hrdince Rylan a bratrům Kaiovi a Revovi, se kterými žije v ústraní. To, co začalo jako super večer strávený s lidmi, kteří pro ni byli vším, se zvrhlo v jednosměrnou procházku peklem. Rylan pobodají, znásilní a donutí ji dívat se, jak jí berou to jediné, na čem jí kdy záleželo.

Novela jako taková většinou nedává autorovi moc prostoru pro řádný děj nebo rozepisování, často je totiž notnou částí pouze smut v případě dark romancí. Maree Rose se však tohoto úkolu zhostila na výbornou. V balíčku Dead Devil's Night jsem dostala nejen skvělé spicy scény, ale také super zpracovaný příběh bez hluchých míst, kde nic nezůstalo nedořešené. Bylo to drsné? Ano. Bylo to místy až brutální? Ano. A zasloužili si to? Ano! Ano! A ještě jednou ano! Rylan byla jako FMC super badass a já si ji hned oblíbila. Navíc Kai a Rev? Já za tuhle spooky jednohubku tleskám a rozhodně si stojím za tím, že Maree se právem stala jednou z mých vážně oblíbených autorek.

5/5

Well… this book was a perfect little read,
Again I feel like Maree Rose has put all of my favourite things into one book,
Think the purge but with a delicious dose of spicy..
this is a why choose dark romance with added bonus of unliving
this is a dark read so please check the trigger warnings before reading it!
But you will not be disappointed!
I couldn’t put it down and I finished it in one night..
the story starts with Rylan and her twin best friends Rev and Kai, all 3 of ttg found each other in darkness and started their lives together…
But that was short lived on the one night that anything goes, the one night when no one is safe..
then one year later Rylan is out for revenge and she will stop at nothing to get it!
There are some surprises along the way and for such a short book the spice in it is so hot!!
Maree Rose has become one of my favourite Authors and I love all
Of her books..
I can not wait for more!!

Maree Rose has done it again!!! My first read of hers was Hunt Me Darling which was released in August. After having fallen in love with HMD, I have been absolutely obsessed with Maree’s books! Dead Devil’s Night is no different! It is a captivating, fast paced novella and totally worth reading if you love dark romances! Though it’s short, it kept me wanting more with each page! I could not put it down, finishing it in an hour! This novella was not what I was expecting initially but once you get to chapter 4, you’re sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation. I won’t give away spoilers as to what happens but trust me, this novella is worth the read! Just the spice alone is worth checking it out as it I give a 5/5 for spice!! If you like dark, why choose and taboo romances… please read this!!! Please also check content warnings as there are some that can be triggering for others!

This is the second why choose book with twins and I’m obsessed! Something about brothers confident and comfortable sharing and loving the same girl! Yes please! 🥵🥵 Anyways there’s definitely more than just smut lol Theres a badass FMC Miss Rylan who had a rough life growing up but then has a traumatic situation happen on Dead Devils Night. I fell in love with her too! There’s also loss, hurt, revenge, love and twists and turns! So much happens to keep you on the edge of your seats and wanting more!

5 ⭐

Kai and Rev have looked after Rylan since they met in foster care. They have many fond memories, and love each other deeply. Everything was great until that one night. Dead Devil's night. Kai and Rev had to watch Rylan get sexually assaulted whilst they led beaten to death. All of them were left for dead.

This was bloody amazing. I devoured this. There is literally not a single thing I would change 🙏🏼

I LOVE a good revenge story, and this absolutely delivered. It was jam packed with action, good spice and twists I didn't see coming! 😍

You absolutely need to read this 💓



SOME OF MY FAVOURITE QUOTES:

"And they would go to hell regretting ever meeting Rylan Coal"

"He is a dead man walking, he just doesn't know it yet. But he would very soon"

"She owned us, body and soul, just the same way she is ours"

"He is a dead man walking. He just doesn't know it yet."

This was such a great novella! It had such a great story and had purge vibes clear through which I LOVED!

Rylan, Rev & Kai had such a rough start, and to be able to watch them get their own sort of revenge in the novella was perfection.

The ending, IMO, tied up the story beautifully. The little twist thrown in brought everything together. It was almost poetic, and just a great ending!

I devoured this Novella. It was a fast-paced, great revenge plot, and the spice was just right. The perfect short read, highly recommend!

Dead Devils night, is basically a purge no rules, no laws, unhinged choas let lose upon the streets! A brutual attack, left for dead. But remember to always check, because Revenge is best served brutual as f*ck! And 12 months later Rylan came out guns blazing, no member will be left by the end of this Dead Devils Night... tick tock, your times up!

Revenge is best served bloody!

Maree Rose stays true to form with the release of Dead Devil’s Night. This quick paced novella follows Rylan as she unleashes the ultimate revenge plot against those who stole from her on a night when there are no laws or repercussions.

The writing style is easy to read, and the descriptions allow you to easily visualize the action. The MFM relationship blooms into some pretty steamy scenes that really encapsulate the genre.

There are several TW, so please read them before starting this book to make sure this type of writing is for you.

I absolutely devoured this book! It did not take me long at all to read it because once you start it, you don’t want to put it down! If you like vengeance, spice, and twists then this book is for you! Just when you thought you had the book figured out, it throws you into another twist. I recommend this book to all my book buddies.

If you enjoy a lead female character that kicks some serious booty then this is definitely the read for you. I hope there is a second part to it to see what happens, I don’t want to say too much to spoil it.

This book incorporates a movie into the mix, well reminds me of two. The purge and the crow, a night where you can do anything with no limits

Quickest read!! Less than 24hours and I was done reading. This is a short revenge tale that is best served bloody. There is mention of SA but it is not described.

What would you do to avenge the death of the love/loves of your life? What would you do when you discover that they are not really dead? Follow Ryland and her men Kai and Rev as they take revenge on the men that thought they had killed them and wait for every twist and turn that comes. Enjoy the ride and watch how they get creative with their revenge!
