There’s more characters being introduced, and old storylines being added onto, but sometimes I feel like there may be too much going on. It can be a little hard to follow at times. I still really like the side characters a lot and Cain and Emma are continuing to work on their relationship.

I like how Vali interweaves the title with Cain's philosophies about the devil. The scene in Talbot's office proves that Emma is a devoted partner and enhances Cain. Even though this book is a solid continuation of the series, it fizzled out compared to the previous ones. The most entertaining parts of this story were Brent's heavy-handed actions towards Cain and Emma's protection of Cain while she was in the hospital. I was tempted to skip the plot involving Dallas and Remi because it felt as if their story took away from the Casey Clan. However, I stayed with it to see what Remi would give Johnny Moores as a Father of the Year award along with the Pritchard brothers. Instead of Dallas and Remi, it would have been nice to read more about Muriel either with Shelby or with someone else. Muriel had a lot of character in [b:The Devil Inside|22600|The Devil Inside (Cain Casey, #1)|Ali Vali|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1364146902s/22600.jpg|23618], but she too seemed to loose that sharp wit she possessed at the warehouse in the first book. I haven't mentioned in my previous reviews that the sex scenes feel incomplete. The scenes have great build ups and climaxes, but they end abruptly. No fade to black, just...its over and let's talk about something other than the mind blowing sex we just had. Hopefully, this book is the calm before the storm that's to be released in [b:The Devil's Orchard|15843253|The Devil's Orchard (Cain Casey, #5)|Ali Vali|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1356794616s/15843253.jpg|21585541].

Yeah no, there are no words. While I feel sorry for Shelby, I absolutely dislike (if not hate) her for what she’s done to Muriel. I love Muriel and she deserves to be happy. I can’t wait to see her happy! I’m really glad Remi took care of Dallas and showed her that she loves her. And yes for having Kristen around! My poor bb Merrick, I’m so glad she’s finally doing better and better over time. I’ve grown to love her quite a lot. And I don’t have to say anything about Cain and Emma, I guess. They’re everything and I love them with all my heart.

This the fourth book in the Casey Family Saga series and a good read. For some reason, I have skipped the third book which I will have to go track down, and I am eagerly looking forward to the fifth.
Cain Casey is a woman you don't want for an enemy but her loyalty and her love of family is admirable.
