The Devils That Take Her by Cassie Hargrove, Story Brooks
5.0
Take a feisty nun and add the 4 Horsemen with hitman energy and forced proximity. You end up with this delicious novel. I haven't read a horsemen novel yet and now I want more!
This book is part of the Deadly Sin Series (I have not read it but now I want to). You don't have to read that series to understand this one, but some characters will cross over.
Shadow, Smoke, Spook and Shade are just walking red flags that consume you. I was instantly drawn into their presence, and I couldn't get enough of them. They clearly have trauma from their past and instead of figuring it out they act out on it. I can't wait till the next book to find out more about their past and what they went through to become who they are. But Shadow and Spook are freaking ADORABLE! They are the couple that just tries to find joy and peace with each other. Shadow is like the lost puppy when he confronts his feelings and tries taking Spook out on an actual date.
Fawn is that badass FMC that takes no sh*t but will obey when necessary. When the guys went to do their job, they discovered Fawn with her uncle and thought they were into some freaky stuff (not realizing he's her uncle). But in truth, he was abusive and practically brainwashed her into thinking it will "help" her not be like her mother. Once she's out of his grasps, she becomes who she truly is meant to be and the more she came out of her shell, the more powerful she became. She even can change the most ruthless of them all.
This book was fantastic and just consumes your time. I got lost in the story and didn't even realize I finished. Cassie and Story end this book in a very cruel cliffhanger that had me angsty. January can't come soon enough!
