Delaney Murphy has always known she’s the Devil’s daughter. And although the title itself is a burden, she never expects to inherit all her father’s infernal abilities. When her newfound magic begins to poison the people closest to her, Laney must make a choice. To protect the world from the worst she can do, she leaves everyone she loves behind and builds a new life for herself, alone, in a place where she can control the urge to give in to the magic living within her.
But when she recognizes a familiar pattern in a string of murders, Laney leaves her peaceful, isolated life behind and goes on the hunt, unleashing a threat she never dreamed possible. Confronting this menacing specter could mean giving in to temptation and becoming the one thing she fears most. Will she use her magic to do the right thing, even if it means hurting the ones she loves?
My Review:
Delaney Murphy is a young woman who lives all alone in
isolation. Living alone is Laney’s own choice. Laney is the daughter of the
devil. Laney is half-human. She inherited all of her father’s powers. When she
learned that her powers were causing people harm that is when she decided that
living alone would be the best thing. Laney has a very big heart and doesn’t
want to hurt anyone.
When Laney hears about several murders the area she thinks
she may know something about them or who it is so she leaves her isolation to go
investigate. When she does she stirs up some trouble that may cost her more
than she bargained for.
When her father finds out about what she has done he sends
her a couple of body guards. Laney’s father has a little trouble going on that
he has to take care of and can’t come himself to watch after her. One of the
guards is a dog that she names Moose and the other is a guy, Callum to keep her
safe. Callum is a very mysterious creature with special abilities of his own
who doesn’t like to give out any information on himself. What or who Callum is,
is a mystery unto its self. Moose is
very sweet and cute but he is also very mysterious.
The Devil’s Own was a very mysterious fast paced read that
likes to hang on to its secrets right up until the end. Hanging on to those
secrets is what kept my interest and wanting to know the answers. It has just
enough action to keep you hooked.
I would recommend The Devil’s Own to all fans of fantasy and
the paranormal.
