Devourer of Men by Nikki St. Crowe
5.0
I am still hot and bothered thinking about this and it's been weeks since I read it.
I absolutely loved the Lost Boy's series by Nikki St. Crowe and remember how giddy I was once the tension between Hook and the Crocodile became obvious. Therefore, I am not surprised in the slightest that Devourer of Men was another five star read for me.
The Crocodile and Hook have an interesting and loaded dynamic and to see them unravel in each other's presence is like watching a wildfire. Devourer of Men is after all for the most parts an MM enemies to lovers story. Or at least... spice partners.
And while I understand that the female character needed to be added for the plot, I found myself wishing this book was about the MM storyline only. I loved watching their relationship evolve.
But, tbf, it was rather interesting to see what happened when the female character was thrown into the mix. Hook and the Crocodile are such opposing forces at times with very different motivators and weaknesses and Nikki St. Crowe did an amazing job of contrasting these two first with each other and then through a third party.
The characters work, the writing is good and I will repeat myself but Nikki St. Crowe certainly knows how to write them hot! Now I'm beyond excited and impatient for the second part of the duet - I have a feeling the best is yet to come.
If you're into audiobooks, I definitely recommend listening to it and am so glad I waited for the audiobook release.
