He's the devil. And she's his wicked game.

Halen:
They say eyes are the windows to the soul—but when he looks at me through hues of slate-green and flaring blue embers, I’m terrified of what’s watching me from behind his clashing gaze, something primal and feverish that threatens to melt me like fire in ice.

I fear falling into Kallum Locke’s pitch-black soul.

But after I’m called to a crime scene to investigate the most gruesome act of violence to descend on the legendary town of Hollow’s Row, I have no choice but to turn to Kallum, to the man I had locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane.

He’s the leading expert on all things Nietzsche and occult. And now, to get answers, I’m forced to make a deal with the devil himself.

Kallum:
Really, eyes are the windows to the soul? Then I wonder what little Halen St. James thinks of all the cryptic eyes watching her in the killing fields… I wonder if the hairs on her delicate nape lifted away, if a thrilling shiver raced over her soft skin. She’s desperate for the answer, and she’ll do anything to uncover it—even make a deal with me, dangling freedom like bait on a hook.

But she’s far more tempting to sink my teeth into than any lure.

And the pain will taste twice as sweet.

30% (view spoiler)[oh man this already has me hooked. The other duet I read by this author was amazing so I have high hopes. (hide spoiler)]

62% (view spoiler)[They can’t let them leave when they are the only people with an idea of what’s going on. Also these crime scenes are beyond creepy especially the 👀’s (hide spoiler)]

91% (view spoiler)[Holy shit, this escalated quickly. So these two have a history that she blocked away and I’m just trying to process it all lol (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[damn the ending was like an explosion. As if the universe would let these two be split up now lol. Honestly that whole scene with antler dude and the blood ritual was crazy but probably like he said the only way to drag the killer(s) out. I’m still full of questions about what’s going on but mostly about their shared past that made him so obsessed (hide spoiler)]

Book 2
24% (view spoiler)[Gotta admit these audios are not only extremely well done, I think i love the male narrator, he’s so good. I’ve certainly heard him before and he definitely adds a sexy edge to whatever he’s reading. (hide spoiler)]

53% (view spoiler)[I can’t stand this FBI dude (hide spoiler)]

70% (view spoiler)[Wait a hot damn minute….. the female cop is the killer. I did not see that coming (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[I can’t and won’t act like that fbi guy didn’t get exactly what he deserved. What a scumbag. Also once again this ending was a bit insane. I was wondering why or how there’d be another book but guess it makes sense since now she’s on the run. Hopefully I can squeeze in and finish this series today! (hide spoiler)]

Book 3
23% (view spoiler)[But like what’s the reality if they catch Devyn? And is she really sick? (hide spoiler)]
57% (view spoiler)[Not sure why but I’m getting a little bored and annoyed with all the sex. I want them to get to the drama. (hide spoiler)]
86% (view spoiler)[Thank goodness they didn’t have to get it on in front of all those cultish weirdos. and omg he was setting that other professor up 😯 I mean I know he was a douche but hot damn. So Callum is the killer? No wonder she blocked this out, if the other guy really was innocent. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[Well…… that’s kinda nuts that he technically was the killer but did it to bring Halen away from the brink. Not gonna lie this last one took me a while to get through. I think maybe this could have been added in to book two and it could have just been a duet. Sure there were more revelations about things but I kinda lost interest in these two after knowing most of their backstory together. Still a good series and wonderful audio. (hide spoiler)]
