The Devil Himself ๐— ๐—จ๐—ฆ๐—ง be read after Devil of Dublin, and trust me when I say, you wonโ€™t be sorry to have read it. This series handles very dark topics and situations, so please look into the trigger warnings before picking these up.

This story follows Clover, a dreamer seeking comfort from the horrors of real life through a collection of Irish folklore. Her world is forever changed after her town is bombed by the Russian Bratva seeking revenge on the United Irish Brotherhood. As she fights to escape the madness, she winds up saving a Russian Naval Officer in the process. The intense connection she feels to this man shouldnโ€™t make sense, but there just may be a reason he doesnโ€™t feel like such a stranger after all.

BB Eastonโ€™s masterful storytelling while handling such intense topics is awe inspiring. The story has such darkness and chaos surrounding the characters, but their love is the focal point. A beacon of light shining through. 

It was so easy to fall right into the story as we journeyed with these characters on their fight to survive with only each other to rely on. Unlikely allies, turned to star crossed lovers with an underlying tie in we learn along the way. The imagery of Eastonโ€™s writing set the tone of the atmosphere perfectly. I also enjoyed the folkloric magic woven in. It added an extra layer of goodness for me. I didnโ€™t want to stop reading because the stakes were so high in this one and I needed to know what was going to happen next!

If youโ€™re looking for a book or series to grab you from page one, look no further than the Devil of Dublin series. Thank me later, ๐“โ„ด
