Devoured By Karma

by Bella Grace

What happens when the predator becomes ensnared in his own trap, becoming prey, nothing more than a victim in his own game of deadly obsession. Will he be able to return things to the natural order or will he be devoured by a real monster? Things are not always what they seem in Briar Hollow. You should always be careful what you ask for because sometimes the thing that you want will be your downfall. In the case of Caius and Kysa that’s exactly what happened.

Caius is everything that Kysa dreamed about when it came to mortal men. He is wealthy, tall, strong, muscular and big in all the right places. He is also a sociopathic serial killer who unfortunately mistook his newest obsession, the innocent nurse from the local hospital for the love of his life. For Kysa this was right up her alley. Working at St. Brigid’s Hospital has its benefits and one of them was her proximity to men with a penchant for crimes against women.

Kysa was every man's wet dream, including Caius, who had fallen in love with the curvy RN at first sight. He never thought that his visit to see his grandmother who had suffered a fall after church would lead to him finding his true love again. Little did Caius know that Kysa wasn’t who he thought she was. She was more than just the nurse with the fat ass and tight scrubs who cared for her patients on the trauma unit. She was a succubus that consumed the stained souls of mortal men that preyed on innocent women of this community.

After years of treating women like a game he needed to master only to dispose of them when they failed to live up to his delusion of what love is, Caius finally runs into a woman who has the power to cure him of his insanity and show him what happens when karma is not just a broken heart. Karma is a curvy succubus with a fetish for bondage and a freezer full of trophies.

In Briar Hollow sometimes you can’t recognize the monster until your heart is clutched in its fist. Who will win in this game of cat and mouse between the lovesick sociopath or the touch starved succubus with the face of an angel?

If you've read the "Midnight Mercy" anthology then you know the vibes...


The most outrageous taboo scenarios played out.  


While this story differs from that read, it does take place in that same realm.


The concept of the book- loved.

The writing and storytelling- loved.

The execution and pacing, you guessed- highly enjoyed!


The spice had me speechless...heavy on the erotica component.

Basically... it is a lot of sex.


However, our FMC is a succubus...they use sex to drain their victims. 


Mind you, the way the FMC keeps "a piece" of her MMC victims "froze in time"  for future use was hilarious.


The brother, I definitely want more of that story!


The reason I'm giving 4.5 instead of 5 stars is the MMC's backstory...  The author did an amazing job writing the character.  

I'm not fully sure about that past even if it they were accidents...


Again, more of a "my preference" than the writing.


Even with that, I would highly recommend this read if you like paranormal, eroticas, and don't mind a TBC.


For me, even the TBC was worth the read and wait.

Am I a paranormal girlie? ABSOLUTELY! 😂 Now, y'all know romance is usually where I spend most of my reading time, but throw a little paranormal foolishness my way, and I'm pulling up with no hesitation. And baby, THIS ONE RIGHT HERE?! Bella Grace had every single flabber I possessed GHASTED! Because what in the world did I just read?! 😭😂 Let's talk about Caius for a minute. Sir, you're good-looking, rich, and apparently have plenty going for yourself, but finding love the regular way just wasn't in the cards for you? So naturally, a lil stalking seemed like a reasonable alternative?! SIR, WHAT?! 😂 The audacity was already at an all-time high, but what made this even better was that Caius had absolutely NO IDEA who he was dealing with when Kysa entered the picture. Because my girl Kysa? Oh, she was NOT the one! Every time Caius thought he had something figured out or was about to get one over on her, shorty was already making her next move. 😂 I loved that she wasn't some helpless little thing waiting around for somebody to save her. She saw the game, understood what was happening, and was more than prepared to make that man answer for his foolishness. And watching those tables turn? BABY, I WAS ENTERTAINED! What I enjoyed most was how quickly this story had me questioning who really had the upper hand. Caius might have thought he was running things, but Kysa had some plans of her own, and I was sitting there enjoying every minute of the madness. This is another quick read, so I'm keeping the details to myself because y'all need to experience the foolishness firsthand. Just know that Bella Grace gave me a paranormal story that was wild, entertaining, and had me looking at these characters like they had collectively lost their minds. 😂 And Bella, since we're here, I'm going to need that follow-up, PLEASE AND THANK YOU! Because I am NOT finished with these people, and I need to know what happens next! 👀📚💜

Whewwww chileeee!!! I was NOT EXPECTING nothing that I got out of this book and loved every single minute. Caius thought he got his dream woman, and was coming to claim her. He didn’t even know what type of woman he was laying claims to. Kysa has her own agenda when it comes to men in general, and yeah let’s just say she’s not one to be played with. HOWEVER, when these two come face to face WHEW CHILE, it gets SERIOUS real quick! This book is definitely for MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY!!!!! The ending, the ending has me screaming !!!!!!!! (in a good way though…and I’m GREEDY for more !!) but yeah a time was HAD with these two !!!! I can definitely say I wasn’t prepared and welcomed the wild time this gave me.

Must Read!!!

I just finished this book and OMGGG. I really enjoyed it! The chemistry between Kysa and Caius had me HOOKED. And Kysa… girl, stop running You’re not fooling anybody. You’re running from what you may truly feel for Caius, and meanwhile Caius is over there needing what’s rightfully his! 😩😂

I loved watching their power dynamic shift and seeing Kysa struggle with feelings she clearly wasn’t prepared for. She was supposed to kill him, but somehow this mortal turned her whole world upside down!

And THEN you end the book like THAT?! 😭😭 I NEED Part 2 ASAP! Please don’t make us wait too long because I am entirely too invested in Kysa and Caius now! 😂❤️

Chileeee the spice was chef's kiss 💋
Ok hear me out Kysa might be all I been looking for in a book bae cause she was thick, beautiful, had a tail that did things, and she couldn't stand men who treated women horribly...a win is a win baby a win is a winnnnnnn. Very good read...although I wasn't ready for the cliffhanger but gives me more reasons to stalk your catalog...a must read if you like urban erotica

Wow… talk about meeting your match! This one was wild, and I was here for every bit of it! Just when I thought I had things figured out, that ending completely caught me by surprise!
