Spice!

This was a great read and I loved it but it felt a bit rushed in parts. The smut was phenomenal and watching Angel come to terms with her feelings was great but I feel like there was something missing towards the end of the book.

And Nicola Rose does it again! What a sultry, steamy, angsty love story she has here! This author is quickly becoming my go-to whenever I need a break to indulge in a bit of 'guilty pleasure' read. This is like dark chocolate for me, Ms Rose's writing is as lush and involving as a thick, oozy coating of chocolate ganache, and as sweet as well, with the hint of bitterness that tells you it's a damn good chocolate you're having. This is quality writing, unputdownable as it was, I couldn't force myself away from this book. The narrative just flows and keeps you there, locked inside the pages, lost in that world, aching with Angel and Lucifer - well, aching for Lucifer, actually but hey, I didn't say that!! - needing to know where the plot is going.
You'll get your heart crushed at some point and if you're anything like me, you will loathe Ms Rose with a vengeance and want to throw the book at her head. But then you'll come to terms with what you read, and you'll realise it was the only possible way to go. And then she sweeps the rug from under your feet once more, when you'd just made your peace, and you're left swaying again, but oh-so-relieved and happy that you read this book. I mean, I'm always happy when I read one of Ms. Rose's book, so I'll be eagerly awaiting the next lush, sensual, steamy story!

Angel is one of the top demon hunters around. When she has a blade in hand, she comes alive. Hunting demons is more than just a job for her, it's everything. Until the King of Hell himself turns up thinking he owns her and dragging her to hell. 

Posseses by the Devil is an enemies to lovers romance filled with dark delicious angst. Nicola does it again with this one! I loved her Elwood Legacy trilogy and this one is just as dark and just as delicious. 

Angel is strong and tough as nails. She hunts down any demon that crosses her path. But what is she to do when she's on Lucifer's radar? He thinks he owns her, and wants nothing more than for her to submit and obey. Will these two find what they desire, or will they end up killing each other first? Grab your copy of this angsty paranormal romance today to find out! 4.5 devilish ⭐'s out of 5⭐.

God I love Nicola’s novels so much. If you love knife to the throat, enemies to lovers tales then pick this one up. It’s a quick read so perfect if you’re stuck in a reading slump, writing style is just *chefs kiss* as always. I could not put this down and I know I will be revisiting this book again and again. I adore Angel as a badass female lead character. My only issue…it was over too soon and I want more of their story!!

As a supernatural fan I was intrigued from the start! It starts off exciting and it just continues to build throughout the book. This is a well done enemies to lover story that’s action packed from the start! I can’t wait to read more of Nicola’s books.
