Devil's Mistress.
Evil's whore.

Kidnapped. Abducted.

I’ve been taken away to a private island that’s home to the rich and elite.

Something sinister and perverse lurks just beneath the opulence.

It watches every breath I take and notes each move I make, ensuring that the purpose in which I’m here is never forgotten.

There’s a hierarchy amongst the natives and I am now the exclusive possession of ‘Diabolus’, a gorgeous man that is esteemed as the devil.

His wishes are simple to understand, but obediently giving in to his demands goes against every ounce of human decency and morality I possess.

As we spiral down a path of depravity that leads to the darkest depths of hell, I must decide how I want this to end.

Captor and captive.
Life or death.

Do I become what he needs, or do I risk it all just to die by his hand?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heed the Warnings.

Boy I haven’t read a Natalie Bennett book since Badlands and this sure brought me right back. Of course, read the triggers as this is an author that goes full steam ahead with dark, gross and gore.

While I wasn’t a huge fan of our main character, he did somehow tend to grow on me, and I’m interested and maybe a little scared to see what happens next. There are a lot of unanswered questions to keep readers of the dark coming back for more. I did see there was a book to read before this one, Del Diablo, which explains the island more, which I’m going to check out while I wait.

With a penchant for (writing) villainous immoral men, and a tendency to deviate away from traditional happily ever afters, Natalie Bennett is an international bestselling author of twisted and unconventional love stories.

When she's not slaying words she's somewhere in the sunshine state, happily taking life one curve-ball at a time.
