Deals with Demons #6
Play the Demon
What do you do when the demon you’re reluctantly obsessed with knows your deepest darkest secret?
Every. Excruciating. Detail.
If you’re smart, you push him away and bury yourself in work.
Except that Vas isn’t the kind of guy who’ll allow me to hide from my feelings for long. Even if he did return from the underworld… different.
Meanwhile, I’ve been ignoring all my instincts to hide my tech magic. Instead, I’m using it to help Evie and Kyla solve a high-profile kidnapping case. Not only is it the right thing to do, but the reward money will also allow me to make a fresh start.
But now, my bar is being targeted by my enemies. And Vas insists on shoving his body between mine and any kind of danger. Even though he has his own vengeance to plan. But by choosing to shield me, Vas may have switched from the hunter... to the hunted.
Now it's my turn to protect him.

I adore the world she's created with this series. I love everything about it. I love how everything revolves around one another and how the creatures are cunning, complex three-dimensional beings painted in shades of grey.
It was fantastic to see Vas get a happy ending. From what we know he's been through he really deserves it by now. Meredith was also fantastic. She's powerful in her own right but in different aspects. They make a fantastic team!
The ending was the part I least enjoyed about this whole novel. Yes because it ended However, this will in no way deter me from reading future books this author writes. I can't wait to see where she takes the universe she created in the future!

This book is connected to the rest of the series, but now that the big battle against Lucifer is over, it follows Vas and Meredith instead of Danica and Samael.
When Evie and Kyla start investigating the kidnapping of a pregnant fae, they ask Meredith for her help, which is how Meredith finds herself in the middle of a political plot involving faes, humans, and witches, among other creatures. As if that is not enough excitement, she also owes money to a loan shark and Daimonion still has not been found, and he might very well try to hurt Meredith to get back at Vas.
Overall, I liked this final book which almost felt like a spinoff, but there are still things that annoyed me a little. So this review might sound like me whining, but I am still happy with the conclusion to this series, and happy that Vas got his happy ending, especially after what happened in the previous book.
First of all, Meredith has no background in investigative work, yet she gets roped into Evie and Kyla’s investigation and follows them around. Why couldn’t she just act as a consultant for any tech Evie and Kyla found? Why did Meredith have to be that involved in the investigation when she does not have the required skills, does not fight, and also has a business to run on the side, meaning she already is pretty busy. The author also found a convenient way to make sure that Meredith would not be involved in Evie’s spinoff (), making her big involvement in this one investigation feel even more pointless. It feels like this was just an excuse to put her in harm’s way, so Vas and her could grow closer.
That brings me to Evie, who also does not have any investigative work experience, yet she seemed to be excellent at it. I am glad that she found something she enjoys doing, but all in all, it felt like they were just trying to fill Danica’s shoes since she was not there anymore. I feel that Evie could have found something else to do than take over Danica’s business… But I feel that this is also just me being picky.
Even though he is tougher and angrier than before because of what happened in the battle against Lucifer’s forces, Vas remains a big softie deep down inside. I love him so much. The fact that he has a human BFF, that is now in his 80s or 90s and Vas still visits him in his elderly home and talks to him about the shit they got into as teenagers was so cute and heartwarming.
I missed Vas and Danica’s friendship. They grew so close in the first books of the series, and while I understand that this book was about Vas and Meredith, and not about Danica and Samael anymore, I would still have liked to see more of them. Especially seeing how much Danica and Vas seemed to love each other. Now they spent a few minutes together here and there, and I didn’t feel the depth of their bond like I did in the rest of the series.

“You’re trapped between two worlds. Your own fault, and your uncle’s for not keeping a better eye on you as a child. Someone as long-lived as you has no business making friends with humans. And yet, I think it’s made you a better person.”

Liked it, but didn't love it.
So let me just say I loved the Deals with Demons series, Samael and Dani were amazing characters. I loved the side characters including Vas and Mere. This book was about them, but it just didn't seem to capture me like the other books in the series. Now I understand the author is trying to cram alot if different aspects into one story, but this seemed way too rushed for me. One chapter Vas is done with Meredith, but then two chapters later he comes back with the promise he made her. Too much back and forth. Also Vas and the assassin Daimnon was terrible. I expected so much more with that. Not the constant distractions and Vas having to race to get back to Meredith. I just don't know about this book, I think I'm more interested in the story of Kyla and the Fae King or Evie and the Alpha. Just me.

This was a fun read and nice to be back in this world.
I wasn't as invested as I was with the main series, mainly because I felt Vas and Mere were a pretty done deal before the book anyway. But I'm excited for Evie and Kyla's story.

Sexta y última parte de esta primera saga. En ella ya no contamos con Danica como protagonista sino una de sus mejores amigas y el demonio que la acompaña.
¿Ha estado bien? Sí, pero me esperaba otra cosa completamente diferente. Me decepciono lo que viene siendo el final así como al mismo tiempo sentí que fue demasiado rápido y necesitaba al menos más paginas para desarollar tanto los personajes como el argumento.
A pesar de todo esto me lo he pasado bien que es lo que cuenta y tengo otra saga terminada.

I like the series very much. This book is fine but it didn't add much to the story. I'm fond of Vas; Meredith is ok but she is a side character as far as I am concerned and she lacks substance in the first five books. I'd have prefer Selina to star in this book. As a matter of fact, I'm much more invested in Evie's and Kyla's stories which will be the next series to start in September 2022.

3.5 stars.
Really enjoyed this. Wish there was more from Vas' pov and more time with him and Mere. However, I did love the investigation aspect of this book like the first 2, but it also ended too easy. But I love this world and it's characters. I can't wait for the next installments.

This isn’t the first time I have read this book. But I did lower my rating from five to three stars.
Here are my issues with it.
I felt like we got such a huge build up of Danica and Vas’ friendship in the first books, and now we didn’t really get to see how much that friendship means to Vas. There was one scene where they were together, and he said he had missed her terribly, which is sweet. But he didn’t confide in Danica through the book. In fact he confided in Evie about something. And I felt like they were almost closer.
Meredith is not a detective. That is not a bad thing, but she was never involved in any cases in the past, and now she was, and I didn’t understand why her story couldn’t be written without having to fill some of Danica’s shoes. Which brings me to my next problem.
Evie.
Who is also filling Danica’s shoes. And ones again I don’t like it, and it doesn’t feel right.
Mostly because I felt that because Evie wants to be independent, and solve cases on her own, Danica was completely removed from the story. As was Samael.
Vas, Evie, Kyla and occasionally Meredith was a huge part of Danica and Samael’s books. And now it felt like they were “separate” from everyone because they were now king and queen. But that doesn’t really reconcile with what we have seen of them in the rest of the books.
But yes, I felt like Danica was removed because she would be better than Evie at solving the case they were working on, and they didn’t want Danica to outshine her.
I FEEL LIKE EVIE IS TRYING TO STEAL DANICA’S LIFE, IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY.
And it drives me wild because I feel like Danica worked and earned to be as close to all the people she is close to. Because at the start of the series she didn’t have anyone. And she hadn’t for a long time.
I had plans of re-reading the spinoff series - which is Evie and Kyla’s books, but I already know I regret the rating I gave them, which means it will not be enjoyable reads.

I liked Mer and Vas's story. I think it gives the series a good ending and sets up Kyla and Evie's story in the next series.
I had tears a couple of times in this one. The heartbreak that Vas experiences did me in.
Loved the epilogue and hope we see these guys in the next series.

Of the three heroines, Mere, Evie and Kyla who were friends of Danica in the original series, Mere was the one I was least excited about.
This book was okay- Mere is dealing with her ‘secret’, a missing persons case with Evie and Vas is seeking his revenge. But it was just okay for me.

The plot felt like 80% and romance 20%. Not my favorite ratio for PNR. ready for Kyla’s book though! And evie’s.

2.5 stars.
I was excited about Vas and Mer's story, because I had really liked the few interactions between them we had seen and their flirting.
So I was kinda disappointed by how angsty Vas was in the majority of the book (understandable after what happened, but still, not what I was looking for) and the lack of exploration regarding Mer's magic bummed me out because it's so unique and I felt like it was a wasted opportunity.
The plot was okay, all in all.

I’m pretty upset with this book, I won’t lie.
I was really excited to leave behind Danica and Samael, and I was really happy to dive into Vas’s story. But this Vas is not the same Vas from the rest of this series. He felt like an entirely new character, and to be frank, I didn’t really like him.
I did like Meredith, so at least there’s that. However, I didn’t really like the whole mobster turn this book took. It really felt like we left the supernatural/witchy side of things behind. I mean, I know that we focused a lot of her technology powers, but… they also seemed a bit… I dunno, lacustre and boring.

Such a great series!
Meredith and Vas' finally come together! This great love is surrounded by a spectacular storyline and amazing secondary characters. My issue is.....It was hard to follow behind Dani and Samael which was edge of your seat 24/7.
I was disappointed that Evie and Kyla's possible books were not solidly mentioned. Hoping to see these two in the very near future.
Happy reading,
DD 🥂

The ending is okay, but if we consider all the elements at play, it should have better than it was.
But that's what I felt about the series as a whole. It had ingredients for a much more interesting, magical and fantastical book, but it never dwelled deeper into any of that aspect. Everything was just touched at surface level, even the main conflict seemed only surface level.
So overall I think it's a series which one tends to read and forget in few weeks.

Yet another brilliant story in this series. Many different adventures leading to the ultimate finale.
Kyla and Evie embark on an investigation on a missing pregnant fae, with the help from bar owner Meredith they all set out on their mission. All the while Meredith is fighting her own demons. Literally and figuratively. Vas on the other hand is still mourning the death of his uncle. Determined to be the one to annihilate the assassin who caused him so much pain. Romantic and heartbreaking putting all through extreme torment and pain. All seems doomed until an unexpected gift is offered from the mystical creature Virtus, the griffin. All's well that ends well.
I'm sad to see this series end but I am so looking forward to our next adventure with Kyla and Evie

I would give 5 stars as I read this book within one day. But - "hi did not piss his pants" and similar statements started to be annoying after 5 books full of them. But the story was good and I loved Vassago's point of view. How Daimonion played with him was incredible. Kyla and Finvarra - gosh I hope in Bargains with beasts, I will see more of these two. It would be fun.
As in all other books in this series, I found some hints here too. Do you know the cartoon movie Ratatuille? Yeah, one big easter egg is in this book and I really liked that. :)

I didn't expect to like this book as much as I have.
I liked that it was like a spin off from the other 5 books concentrating on Meredith and Vas.
He is such a sweet guy and in this book whilst he is battling with his emotions and vengeance, he commits himself to getting his love life sorted out!
I like that this book gave a bit of closure and continuation of the other characters stories and it included a bit of Samiel and Danika as well.
I found this book quite emotional and I was happy with the HEA. 😍

After finishing the last one in the series i wondered where this book was going to go. I was surprised to find out it was Vas and Mere's story. I really enjoyed it. Mere is a mix of tough woman and gentle woman and pairing her with Vas was a great idea. he's so different from the other demons because he grew up in the Earth realm and had more interactions with humans. This made them perfect for each other. It was very fast paced and the story was engaging. I'm definitely going to read the spinoff series so i can see what happens with Evie and Kyla.

So sorry to see this series come to an end. I loved every book and it is my absolute favorite series when in a book slump to re-read.
Stacia’s heroes are never meek. Mere was no exception. Vas and Mere had been brewing for a while now. I loved the way Vas knew exactly how to uplift Mere, treat her in ways that gave her more respect, power, and the space in which to deal with things.
Mere’s friendships were simply beautiful.
The book brought together all the wonderful things we learned to love and at the end tied them with a massive gorgeous ribbon for us to celebrate.
Another winner!

DNF at about 75%. Got a bit bored! I had high hopes for Meredith and Vas’s book as I loved Vas’s character in books 1-5 but it fell a bit flat tbh. I’ve seen reviews saying something similar that it didn’t quite hit the spot, and that Evie/Kyla’s books also weren’t as good as Danica and Samael
Might return and finish at some point and might read the series for Evie and Kyla, who knows!

I loved Vas in the previous books. Meredith seemed a good fit for him, and she was. But...this just didn't do it for me. Some of the emotional conversations were just *cringe*, and I didn't like it when he called her Baby. Don't ask me why, it just didn't feel right. It did advance the overall story along, but for me, that's all it did.
June 26, 2026
Just prefacing with this: I’ve read almost all of Stacia’s books. All of them have been 4-5 ✨. Sadly, for this book I was bored out of my mind. This book took me over a month to finish it. I don’t mind Vas or Meredith, but I felt as if this could’ve been a very short novella. The writing isn’t bad…The plot was underwhelming to me personally. The ending was good but couldn’t make up for the rest of it sadly. But still the series is incredible. I am looking forward to reading Evie & Kyla’s books.
August 9, 2023
I just love Vas!! I really enjoyed getting more of Vas and his story with Mere. Loved the closure Vas got and how everything wrapped up for him and Mere.

you best bet i will be immediately reading kyla’s and evie’s spin off
July 27, 2026
After absolutely loving Danica and Samael’s story, I had high hopes for Vas and Meredith.
Sadly, this one just didn’t have the same spark for me. I liked them as characters, but I never became as invested in their relationship, and the plot wasn’t quite as gripping as the previous books.
I’m still really glad I read it, and I’m excited to continue with Evie and Kyla’s stories.

mayyyyybe 2.5⭐
ughhhhh! after the absolute masterpiece that was Book 5 what in the ACTUAL disaster of a mess was this?? Just ewwww! absolutely no reason for this book, should have been a quick novella honoring the gnomes and the other factions who helped wage and win the war against Lucifer's evil. instead we got some blah drawn own uber cheesy let down of a "spin off" story that just did not do Vas or Mere any justice. The cliche, yawn inducing predictable ending (c'mon man, Vas just happens to leave Mere and she winds up "kidnapped"???). It was like a different author wrote this book and ultimately just left me with the ick. And after ALL of the heartache and trials, we find out Vas 'gets his revenge' on his nemesis as a freaking after thought as Mere is coming to (we don't even get an epic battle.scene where we get to witness Vas putting his loathsome enemy to death???).. oh and of COURSE (gag) surprise, now she's preggo and ready to bond?? Good lord, what a sad finale to an otherwise insanely incredible series. Someone please make this mess make sense.
