The Devil in Me

The Fiends of Felcove #2

by Jonathan Hawker

“Maybe the devil is me, but eternal damnation in his arms—that doesn’t sound so bad.”

Monsters kill people, we kill monsters. It’s as simple as that.

At least, it was.

I should have died that night, a snack for another monster in the woods, until a flash of midnight black fur and glowing golden eyes changed my entire world.

Seven years later and I haven’t learned a thing, rushing off to Felcove to be the first in my generation to kill a real vampire. I don’t give a crap that it’s wearing my cousin’s face or that I might be way out of my league.

And I do not give one flying fuck that fate decided to play games with me, dropping the werewolf that haunts my dreams right in the middle of it all. Taunting me with those big gold eyes. Sucking on that ridiculous lip piercing and acting like he gives a shit.

Waking this monster inside me.

—

Head back to Felcove alongside Brody, our hotheaded hunter, as he collides with Malik, a werewolf with the nerve to be so much more than a beast. When history repeats itself and Malik can’t save his hunter twice, the fate of the town may hinge on blood magic, a cover story, and Brody overcoming everything he thought he knew about himself.

Book two in the Fiends of Felcove, The Devil in Me is an MM Paranormal Romance hellfire hot with spice, laugh out loud banter, and a happily ever after.

Honest ARC review. As expected its on my top 10 list right where it should be.

Jonathan 😩 where do I even start… guess the best place would be that its a INFINITY ⭐️ read, hands down not a single fkin note. Ill stand by that rating til the end of time. & goodgotdamn it was a 5 🌶️ the scenes 😮‍💨👌 absolute fkin cinema.

The Devil in Me follows the events of Bad things come in 3s, story being centered around Brody Valentine & Malik Lawson 😩🥹 sorry its all fresh (these two have my whole fking heart in a damn chokehold)

So we have broody Brody 😩 the grumpiest broken boy in Michigan I swear 😂🙏 enter the SWEETEST BABY EVER TO EXSIST MALIK 😭😍
Pining! The years of pining my baby Mal as done..
7 years ago Mal saved Brody and they both never forgot each other.. (Jonathan that One sided hate to love made the tension and the spice just 😮‍💨👌 fkin phenomenal)

Here we are present day in the same town.. of course some events take place bring Brody to his current predicament of becoming the thing he was sent to scout out.. WHICH BRINGS IN CAMEOS FROM MY OTHER LOVES Ty, Hudson & Em! (The squealing i did from all the funny things said by these cuties 😩 missed them)

The one liners & banter from ALL the characters was hilarious had me rolling and crying. The PLOT ONCE A FUCKINGAIN plotted the ENTIRE book even though this one was HEART WRENCHING (yes i cried several times) 😩 you can feel every bit of emotion Jonathan puts into his writing.. ya know what…
