The Devil You Know by Nicole Northwood
4.0
Very lucky to have a copy of “The Devil You Know” in my hot little hands (excuse the pun!)
A demon, living in New York City, in The Hedonism Hotel – how apt is that? This book was full of the sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle, led by the demon of Lust, Cam, who leaves the Second Circle of Hell to run the hotel. Cam leave his lover, Lucifer (of course!) with a condition attached: he can explore and live in the world of mortal humans but he cannot give into temptation. At the same time, he is hunted in New York City by demon hunters who are disguised as NYPD officers, and falling for the one person he is not supposed to – Giselle, the night manager at The Hedonism Hotel.
Being thee demon of lust, Cam is easily distracted and get caught up in anything (or anyone) that seems to stir the passion within him; you can see why Lucifer wanted to keep him on a short string. There is not much actual chemistry between Cam and his love interests, purely lust and smut! It is a steamy rollercoaster of sorts, where we see the disconnected demon swoon when he meets his match in Giselle. And when I write swoon, I mean steaming, smouldery, sexy shenanigans!
The interplay between Luficer and Cam was an interesting angle and not one that I had really seem before, and although it was only a small part of this book, it was intriguing and I hope it unfolds more in the next books in this series.
