Summary
Step back into the shadowy realm of The Tarot Club where Magick is tangible and Demons step out of the shadows regularly. Once more the Club finds itself at the helm of a war, only this time Marie has unintentionally roped in a Demon born of Lust as their ally. Watch the entire Club descend upon Marie’s small French village as they hunt for both truth and balance.
Marie
I hated that I was attracted to him – hated that the more time I was with him, the more I seemed to crave him. It was as if my very essence was in harmony with his, my heart keening in my chest each time he left the room as if I were some frail animal that had been abandoned.
But most of all, I hated that he was the one who had saved me – the one who had spirited me away.
And even as I hated all of those things, I couldn’t help but find solace in the hidden cottage I now found myself in. It was what fairtytales were made of, only this time I would revel in the role of wicked Witch that I had somehow been cast into.
Cort
I had two lungs like any other creature in this realm, one was perpetually filled with rage, the other with desire. With each inhale and exhale it was a push and pull between the two. At least that is what I was accustomed to, but from the moment I found her there – held at their mercy, I felt nothing but rage. I didn’t want to tug on their strings of desire, making them dance to the beat of their own moans like the true marionette I was. No, I wanted blood. I wanted vengeance. I wanted to bring them forward as an offering to her.
Review
“We are bonded–bound by a promise–an intention greater than the war and the Realms themselves.”
Erin Mc Luckie Moya can do me no wrong. It doesn’t matter how I’m feeling; I always want to read any of her new releases as soon as possible!
Me being me, I highlighted the majority of the book because that’s how much I enjoyed it!
The only thing was that I had wished that I reread The High Priestess before going into The Devil. There were a few moments when I was confused about what was happening, but that’s more of a me problem, not the work.
I love Marie and Cort together! They’re both strong individuals and may not need someone to stand by their side. However, together, they complement each other and make the other better.
Every time there’s a glimpse of the other members of the Tarot Club, I always want to know their story because the little glimpse wasn’t enough!
All of Erin’s characters are relatable. It may not seem so at first, but at some point, there comes a moment where it would just click.
The cliffhanger! I know how many people hate cliffhangers, myself included; however, Erin makes it works. So give it a chance; you won’t regret it! There is a HEA, and the cliffhanger sets up the next book in the Tarot Club series. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
