Infernal Secrets

by Stephanie Denne

"Once you spin the wheel of fate, you cannot undo what you set in motion."

I thought nightmares ended when you woke up.
Turns out, mine were just waiting for me to open my eyes.

Thirteen years ago, I saw something the night my parents died no one would believe. Grandma said the monsters were real, but everyone called her crazy like Mom. And after a lifetime of seeing things I’d never admit to, I feared I was losing my mind too… until four men appeared in my house after I opened a book I never should’ve touched.

They’re beautiful. Dangerous. And definitely not human.
Ash, Cyn, Zeke, and Ezra—demon princes trapped on Earth by my mistake.

Helping them find a way home means facing both the darkness that destroyed my family and the mysterious pull between us.

Each of them tempts me in different ways:
Ash, the wounded protector who makes me feel seen.
Zeke, the broken soul who awakens my own need to protect.
Ezra, the ice prince who watches me like I’m both threat and prey.
And Cyn, the magnetic asshole that I shouldn’t want, but I do.

The closer we get to the truth about my bloodline, the clearer it becomes that our connection runs deeper than desire.

Some fates aren’t chosen. Some fates are written in blood.

First, thank you Stephanie Denne for providing a copy of this book, all opinions are my own.

If you know me, you know that I am obsessed with anything that Stephanie Denne writes and Infernal Secrets did not disappoint. Demons, fated mates with a splash of found family, was exactly what I needed. I couldn't put this down and honestly I can't wait to pick it up back up for a reread.

I loved the characters and how the difference between them all, especially Ezra and Cyn... Idk there is something about the ice prince and magnetic asshole that speak to me.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a; why choose, poly romance, with some forced proximity and fated mates... and well demons.

Have been anticipating this book since Stephanie started posting snippets on her socials last year and it did not disappoint!
It’s so refreshing to see a fmc that can think for herself and isn’t quick to fall into the immediate temptation of a why choose scenario. Rae gets a feeling for each of the boys and doesn’t fall for fated mates the way you see so often in most other books of the genre. The magic system and world building was so fun to learn and I can’t wait to continue the journey. And the boyyyyyys!! 🤭I’ve needed a mmc who’s a bit more sensitive and needs to learn how to rely on a partner and isn’t always the big strong scary man so so bad and we’ve got that in Zeke.
This book had me giggling and feeling some of the second hand embarrassment that comes with trial and error of meeting new people and developing relationships to the point I was hooked.
Definitely gonna reread this one & can’t wait to hear others thoughts on release day! Thank you as always Stephanie for allowing me the opportunity to read early🫶

I loved this book! It grabbed my attention from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down. I loved how the FMC was such a badass. She didn’t take crap from anyone but at the same time had a soft side and needed nurturing. I’m in love with Ash(Ashtyn), he was such a big teddy bear who didn’t hold back how much he loved Rae. This book was such an adventure, the world building was great and Im itching to see what happens in the next one. This book had just the right amount of spice for me. I loved how the MMCS were all different in their own ways but still come together to love and protect Rae when she needed it. You won’t be disappointed when you read this book.
