4.5 stars!
This psychological thriller starts with Stephanie Lewis who is starting her dream job as Assistant Producer for NES News station. Of course she’s nervous and anxious to start! When she gets there, she’s greeted by an ambulance, someone from the station has suffered a heart attack! What an exciting beginning of a career, or was that a sign of what is to come?
Stephanie meets her co-workers ( Darius, Henry, Rick ) her boss Jack and her boss’s boss Martha- who is not the kindest or friendliest!
As she is learning the ropes, she starts experiencing a hostile work environment, and mysterious deaths begin to occur, similar to her first day of work!
One day Stephanie wakes up, feeling symptoms of being drugged and has trouble remembering what the heck happened to her and how she ended up locked in a dark closet!!
The story jumps back and forth to Stephanie waking up Locked up in a closet and the past events that led to it! This book has you on the edge of your seat, trying to piece things together, who, what and why continuously pooping into your head! You will not be able to put the book down until you finish it!
This book is well written, has your interest from the very first page until the end! The pages and font make it easy to read! I can’t wait to read more thrillers by Isabel Wells

Wow, this was a delightful read! I have nothing but good things to say about it. I couldn’t put it down! The book is so well paced! The author does an amazing job of explaining the backstory, whilst also engaging the reader and I was always left wanting to read more. This book was so well written, too! I loved the premise and related to the story. I’ve had a job in which I’ve felt the way the main character feels and I often felt myself saying, “Wow, this is so realistic.” The author also incorporated so many unique and personable moments that made it possible for me to immerse myself in the story… as if I was there! This was one of the best books I’ve read this year! Highly recommend it!

Thrilling thriller
Devil's news had my attention from the very first chapter. Without any spoilers: there's deaths, kidnapping, and many plot twists that will keep you guessing. I read it in two sittings. This is a must-have for any thriller lovers book shelf.

So this book isn't usually something I would read but honestly, I got hooked pretty quick. This was juicey and well thought out, a little sad and scary sometimes in what was happening but it felt like this book had been planned well!
I enjoy this one even if it wasn't a norm for me :)

Two words: I KNEW IT! (And also… WOW.) 😱
I just finished Devil’s News. I went into this one completely blind, I’d never read Isabel Wells before, but I heard it was a thriller about a "dream job" gone wrong. As a thriller lover, that is exactly my jam!
Here are my thoughts:
The Pace: I literally could not put this down. I finished the entire book in 24 hours! It is incredibly fast-paced and suspenseful.
The Mystery: I’m the type of reader who takes notes to try and solve the crime. By 50%, I was convinced Henry was the killer (sorry, Henry! 😂). By 73%, I actually cracked the case!
The Characters: Stephanie, the lead, is so likable. You’ll find yourself rooting for her from page one.
The Ending: Even though I worked some of it out, the ending was still a total shock to the system. ⚡️
This was a solid 5-star read for me. If you love a mystery that keeps you guessing (and second-guessing), you need to pick this up. I officially have a new author to obsess over!

Excellent read 📚 I was hooked after the first chapter
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was hooked after the first chapter. I spent my day binge reading as I just had to know what happened, I'm hoping there is a follow up book as there are lots of stories that could come from NES news 😊 A new follower for Idabel Wells, I'm looking forward to reading more of her work

“Devil’s News” by Isabel Wells was such a great, suspenseful read! The combination of suspicious deaths and a toxic, hostile work environment made this story impossible to put down. Intense, twisty, and full of tension from start to finish. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!

This thriller grabs you from the first page, telling about newsroom ambition that turns into a nightmare. Sprinkled in is a boss from h3ll, paranoia and terror. It tells of Stephanie Lewis who is starting her first day at NES News as a production assistant. Upon arrival she sees an ambulance out front with its lights on. She learns someone from NES News has had a heart attack. What a welcome on her first day. Is this an omen of things to come?
This book was well written and the characters seemed real and were relatable. I really enjoyed this book and
Will definitely be reading more from this author.

Stephanie Lewis landing a job at a buzzing NYC news station seemed like the start of something big until she gets drugged and kidnapped, and everything spirals. The newsroom setting, the tension of the hostile environment, and trying to uncover the truth made for a gripping ride. Didn’t always stick to the formula, which was refreshing, but the twists and what I felt were real stakes kept me hooked.
