Cathy has caught the attention of the most Evil of all! He's come from the bowels of the earth to destroy her! His kind are fearful of her power! Heck, she slayed one almost as powerful as he!
He's watched her…. For days… He's now ready to exact his.....
Okay really, did you expect me to give spoilers? No way, no how!!! You must read this paranormal romance to find out just what does happen!
I loved this story! So hard to put down!!!!

For the very first time, I find myself somewhat conflicted over a review rating for one of Ms. Brandon's books.
'Damn Me' is the fourth entry in this series (excluding the prequel 'Resist Me'). I waffled between a 4 or 5 star rating for this one but finally decided on a 5 star despite 2 factors of this book I >personally< didn't care for much.
First, the great: As always Ms. Brandon's writing is hypnotic & immediately enthralling. She simply has the magic ability with words to lure the reader into whatever MADLY mind-spinning world she creates making the reader care about anti-Heroes we shouldn't like, must less come to love. She crafts her world(s) with meticulous care, her plots & most especially, her characters. The reader is given both the anti-H & heroine's POV's allowing them to understand the motivations, goals, fears, insecurities, the arrogance, the Dominance, the submission of each one yet not in one overwhelming blast. Peeks into the character's mind are tantalizingly doled out in bits & pieces, ensuring the reader is kept on tenterhooks throughout the entirety of the book. And while the reader does come to understand the characters, it is sometimes an understanding most unexpected.
Second: What I didn't care for (personally):
a) Cathy, the heroine. She is descended from a LONG line of Guardians born, raised, trained & educated specifically to fight, repel & triumph over demons. Of any type or level. And she has done this successfully until Damon (in 'Resist Me') exploded her sublimed dark carnal lusts. Now, I have not yet read 'Resist Me' so perhaps something is explained therein not explained in 'Damn Me', & I apologize to Ms. Brandon if that is the case. BUT, I found Cathy a disappointment to me as a heroine. She gave the merest/briefest token resistance to the uber anti-Hero, Satan, in this book. The other heroines (or anti-heroines?) in the other stories were everyday women ground down by life & circumstances; untrained in the demonic, uneducated about the demonic, unaware of the demonic. And thus, their helpless easy fall from grace seemed not only believable but expected. Yet Cathy, except for a few sassy rejoinders & some angry knee jerk thoughts merely gave up without any sincere attempt to fight Satan & accepted as inevitable that her defeat was a foregone conclusion. I would have greatly admired her had she at least ONCE seriously attempted to fight the evil surrounding & claiming her, like the Guardian she was supposed to be. And it truly bothered me how Satan mentioned several times to her he intended to take her 'Light' away, something that he knew was part & parcel of her literal being while she seemed to essentially shrug that loss off.
b) The length & frequency of the 'internal monologues/musings' of Satan & Cathy. They were a huge portion of this book (& seemed much more so to me than the other books) while dialogues between Satan & Cathy were short as well as few & far between. For me.
So, why 5 vs 4 stars then?
Because >my< personal dislikes are one thing, while bad, indifferent, mediocre writing is another. The first, with VERY rare exception, shouldn't impact my rating while the second definitely would.
In this book, as in all her others, the writing is excellent & well deserving of a 5 star review IMO. As always, Ms. Brandon NEVER provides anything but superb writing & offers only her best & finest efforts to the reader.
And this one did immediately capture, keep & enthrall my interest despite my above 2 points. And THAT said a LOT about the quality of this book to me.
I did care about Cathy, I did wonder where this plot was leading, I was deeply invested in the story & characters. I didn't skip or skim anything & I read it in one straight sitting because I NEEDED to find out what the ultimate resolution would be.
The book's intense angst, s*xual tension, scorching SIZZLE, despair, acceptance, surrender & Dominance easily keep the reader mesmerized, concerned, on tenterhooks, hot & bothered with curled toes & bitten lips. In addition, there is of course, the superlative writing readers have come to appreciate & expect from Ms. Brandon.
All in all, this IS a wonderfully written, deeply emotional & evocative tale of one woman's fall from grace & the beautiful incredibly powerful fallen angel who caught her.

This was a much-awaited next book in what has been a wonderful series so far….
Once again this was a totally enthralling read, once again the characters were simply spectacular and the plot is simply spectacular, once you begin reading this book you will find that it is impossible to put down until I reached the last page.
For raised and trained and educated so that she is able to fight and protect and beat any demons that might decide to attack up until now. However, Damon from the previous book in the series “Resist Me” is the threat and he will go for the throat without the slightest hesitation.
Then the was the interaction between Cathy and the previously met Anti-Hero Satan who in this book makes quite the statement in the pages of this book, if I was to have one slight criticism it would have been to simply say that I would have like to see more of her strength, after all as a Guardian in her own right she was more than capable in no standing for any nonsense, threats or bullying tactics.
Also, with the threat of Satan threatening to steal away her “Light” which added a dramatic possibility to the story and the way in which her life and her responsibilities were changing.
This was a great read from Ms Brandon and she always keeps you guessing and unable to put the book down until I reached the last page and discovered the outcome.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

The 4th book in Felicity Brandon's Demonology series focuses on Satan and Cathy. She's a Guardian and he's, well, Satan. He isn't the Satan I was expecting, though. Not so much fire and brimstone, and more subtle and honest. I'm also not sure if this is the end of their story.
The story is fantastic, the characters are intriguing, the heat is high, and I loved every second of it. Cathy is having a faith crisis and Satan is able to use that to keep her off balance and easier to control, but she still has an inner strength that rears its head from time to time. Her inner light isn't as bright as it was, but it's still there and may be influencing more things than she realizes. There more going on than what can be seen on the surface.

Cathy managed to get rid of one demon but another stronger one came in his place. He invaded her dreams every night before he showed himself. Cathy has no chance against this demon even though she got rid of a one just as strong before because this demon is Satan himself. He has plans for Cathy that she has no chance of defying. I’m not going to spoil the rest only to say you will not be able to put it down. I received an ARC for an honest review which I have given

Okay, once again, Felicity Brandon has pulled me into the dark recesses of my mind by taking me back to the underworld with Cathy and ..............Satan himself! Once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop. Cathy is fierce, stubborn and determined to resist Satan but Satan is just as determined to make Cathy call him Master! The 4th book in this series will just suck you in so be sure you have time because you won't want to put it down. Kudos to Ms. Brandon for once again writing a story I love. Pssst, go get it!!!!
October 31, 2020
Ms. Brandon is a very provocative author. You never get a formulaic book with her. I won’t go into the particulars of the story as other reviews do that. However, it is safe to say that the characters are complex, the story is intense, unexpected, and very steamy. If you like stories about anti-heroes, demons, light versus dark, and of course a whole lot of heat, then this bool is for you!

The Devil has come out to play! This series is becoming the best to read. And now it's the devil of all devil's coming out to play. Love every moment of it. the strength Cathy has on not to fall down in to temptation but at the end who can resist the biggest of them all.

Once again we are thrown into the dark underworld in the Demonology series by Felicity Brandon with Damn Me. Cathy Bateman is the Guardian of the Light who succumbed to Damon but was able to cast him out, but in doing so he brought out the wanton side of her. Now Satan wants what Damon had with Cathy. Can he break this woman, have her call him Master and destroy her light as he invades her mind each night to make her his with desire, temptation and lust? Now Cathy is riddled with guilt, asking for guidance from Sevvy, but doesn't tell Sevvy that she has sinned with Damon nor has she told her who is tormenting her now in her dreams and trying to take over her mind and wanting her to submit to him.
With determination, Satan is weaving his spell, forcing Cathy to submit to his will with his wanton ways and with each pull of his darkness, Cathy surrenders to all of the lust and debauchery he brings out in her. But Cathy is still defiant as ever, thinking once he is done with her he will leave so she can continue her work helping souls, but Satan will never let her go. These two are two forces fighting against each other good vs. evil, dark vs. light who will prevail in the end. The more time Satan is with Cathy he knows all of the things he should do to her and be done with it, be he can't as she has left him wanting his Little Guardian. He has no choice he will never give her up so she will be taken to Hell with him. Cathy will soon learn that she can't fight him any longer as she becomes consumed with all of the sexual desire he brings out in her and it is becoming harder for her to resist. Satan is too strong and powerful as she finds her inner light is leaving her. Now she is told he will be bringing her back to Hell with him and all hopes of staying in the world of the mortals is dashed. With one last plea she asks if she can write her thoughts down before they go, so she writes a letter to Sevvy that all hope is lost and she maybe gone forever. We are left wondering why hasn't the other Guardians come to Cathy's aide and help her fight Satan? If Cathy was so feared by the other Princes why couldn't she resist? We are left with more questions, is this the end for Cathy? Now we are introduced to Lucifer, bored and concerned that his master is taking too long with his quest to end the Guardian, why hasn't he returned to the underworld. Lucifer finds he is restless and may want what the others have found a mortal of his own. Now Beezelbub informs Lucifer he might have the right woman for him , intrigued once he views this woman could she be the one for him? I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book. I guess we have to wait for the next installment to see if Lucifer achieves his desires and what part will Beezelbub play.

Damn Me is the newest addition to Felicity Brandon’s demonology series. This time, the story focuses on Cathy, a guardian of humanity against the powers of darkness, and Satan, the Prince of all Darkness, a truly ancient and powerful evil.
Cathy is no easy push-over, not at all, and this is part of her allure to Satan. She is stronger than most human beings and the push and pull of their forming relationship, his possession of her, is begun. Will he win or will the magic of the guardian send him back to Hell?
Felicity Brandon is one of my go-to, one click, authors. She never disappoints in whatever trope she’s exploring at the moment. Her characters are always well developed and real, her world building is distinct, and her plots are tight and well constructed. If you are into dark romance, truly dark, then she is the perfect for your reading pleasure.

I’ve loved the other books in this series and they have all been leading up to Cathy and Satan’s love story. However I will say for me it fell a little flat. It was still good but after so much build up in the other books of Cathy being this all powerful guardian who was supposed to cause all kinds of problems for the demons she didn’t put up much of a fight. I felt like there was no climaitic scene, I knew how the book was going to end and it didn’t have any twists I didn’t see coming. I think I would of liked the storyline better if the main characters weren’t portrayed as such powerful players in the grand scheme of good vs evil since there was no such fight in the book.
November 7, 2020
I'm giving this a 3.50. The book has Felicity Brandon's excellent writing and super kinky sexxxy stuff going on, but I really didn't connect much with Satan at all, and not too much with Cathy. It took me a little longer than normal to work through the book, but that's just because of the disconnection with the characters. I did want to see how the story fit in with the overall storyline, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the next one works.

If only you could be one of the demon's pets. The way this author writes of the underworld is part scary and part tantalizing. I cannot figure out if I am creeped out by being dominated by the demons or wanting to get closer to them. Either way, this was a great book to read.

What a fantastic intense story Satan himself comes to claim the guardian Cathy who is fierce and very sassy these two are amazingly hot together. I love Satan and I'm so happy we got their story he is one sexy demon with alot of power for seducing the master of all!!!! Such good writing amazing plot and I loved it.
October 27, 2020
Wow it was worth waiting for Cathy and Satan's journey into their lustful adventure. there is lots of hot chemistry, demons, temptation and plenty of unputdownable reading in this story. It was enthralling to read. This is my honest opinion
October 30, 2020
It was an intense battle between Cathy and Satan. Maybe not that much of a battle since Cathy ’gave up’ easy enough to be able to get something else...
I was captured of the story, but I thought it was a little too much inner monologe.
