⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. I just love Elisa and Connor, and Devouring Darkness does an excellent job bringing them together to fight evil, but also showcasing their unique differences.

BLURB

Elisa Sullivan and her ombudsman partner, Theo, is sent to rescue a woman from a nearby town. Everything runs fairly smoothly until they enter Chicago, triggering a defense mechanism designed to keep a specific chaos demon out. Elisa and her team are now in a desperate race to identify and contain the demon.

MY THOUGHTS

I really like Elisa’s ombuds team so much. They are interesting, diverse characters that fill out the story, in addition to providing valuable backup and support. Elisa’s friendship with Lulu has plenty of parallels to their mothers’ friendship. Lulu gets a chance to shine and make some important decisions for herself.

Elisa and Connor’s steadfastness and trust in each other carry the plot and solidifies my belief, as the reader, that they will prevail, no matter what. Connor’s story takes an interesting turn and I really look forward to seeing how Elisa and Connor will deal with all the obstacles in their way.

The demon is a proper scary and powerful adversary. Unpredictable too, you never know what chaos is going to happen next.

The action and suspense pick up pace a bit later in the book, and then it’s nail-biting time until the end. Cliffhanger endings are so frustrating and this one is a doozy. I am now impatiently waiting for the next book.

This is book four in the Heirs of Chicagoland series. I think it’s best to start with book one, as there are relationships and other situations that change and develop over time. It will be worth it to start with the Chicagoland Vampires series that chronicles the story of Elisa’s and Connor’s parents.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
