A review by aboulle
Devil by Joel Abernathy
3.0
So I love a dark romance but this just missed the mark for me. Let's start with Valentine, he is such a whiner to have been raised in a mafia family. Then he acts like he is a complete idiot and so does everyone else around him but he is a freaking DOCTOR. Also with as thorough as Silas was I find it odd that he didn't vet out who worked at the hospital to see who truly worked there (don't want to spoil it by saying more).
Onto Malcolm he had a lot of potential for me, just how I like a cop: broody and corrupt. But when Valentine and Malcolm go to the cabin it is straight abuse and there is never a true build up to actual feelings. I found it hard to believe he went from a distraction/toy to loving him more than your dead husband but never realizing it.
I would love to have heard why in the world it was smarter to keep Demon alive. Also near the ending hinting that Johnny was in love with Valentine when in the early parts of the book there was no hint of that at all.
Had a lot of potential but there was just a lack of connection for me and too many plot holes.
