Devil

De: Sierra Simone

Narrado por: Megan Wicks, Jacob Morgan

I have nothing left.

One moment of weakness seven years ago, and I lost my job, my art, and my only friend. Now I’m working nights at a gas station to scrape together a living and a way to care for my sister, and I’m completely alone.

And then I see him on the front page of the newspaper, my former college student and the man who ruined my life seven years ago. Ryan Bell.

So I carve a statue of the devil and I give the devil Bell’s face. I leave it for the world to see. I shouldn’t have done it. I should have known he’d use the statue to hunt me, find me, offer a deal that demands my soul. He wants one year of me—all of me—and then he’ll make my problems go away. How can I refuse? When it’s my only chance of salvation? How can I refuse even when I know Ryan Bell will leave me with a broken heart—again? But it’s my own fault…I should have stayed hidden, I shouldn’t have revealed how the memory of him haunts me still. I was the one who spoke of the devil, after all. I can’t be surprised that he appeared.

*(This is the fourth full-length standalone in the Priest Collection, featuring Father Bell's youngest brother, Ryan Bell. You do not have to listen to Priest, Sinner, or Saint to listen to Devil.)

Not my normal genre but well done all around.

I’m not churchy at all. Infact I have a deep hate for it as an indigenous person whom survived boarding schools. I’ve loved this series since the beginning. I love seeing the loving side of any entity as I know it must exist. This author has shown a new side of the church. I’m not sure how to explain but the author has gone above and beyond in educating people re mental health and the humans who believe there is a loving God regardless of sins or preconceived sins/church expectations.

A Religious experience for an atheist

Let me start off by saying that I love Sierra Simone, and discovered her work on a quest for spicy, taboo, slightly unhinged dark romance. This book is all of these things.

That said, as a recovering Catholic and current atheist, I have felt deeply moved by every book in this series. Each one has delved into so many of the rules and sins and trauma I grew up with in a way that made me feel seen, validated, and whole.

This book is extraordinary. It is the closest thing I have had to a truly religious experience. I am not someone who cries at sad books, but there were so many times I found myself listening with tears pouring down my cheeks because I heard so much of my own pain and despair and deep desire mirrored in it. I absolutely love it, and will be revisiting it often.

To mother Sierra- thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I’m feeling HOT HOT HOT!!! 🥵

This book, just Ike the whole Priest series have been fantastic, from the way it was written to the narrator’s. I can’t wait for Father Jordan’s story. Thank you for such a fantastic series Sierra Simone💜
