    Bittersweet Book Reviews on Goodreads

“Let me tell you a secret.
I’m stronger than you think.”

Demon Sins finds Ginny nearly a year into captivity — playing the perfect prisoner to keep her brother alive, until a lethal curse changes everything. With her psychic bond with Gabriel and nothing left to lose, she stops hiding what she is and goes on the offensive, infiltrating the very organization that tried to cage her.

DEMON SINS | BOOK ONE

A woman with dark curly hair, glowing green eyes, and black angel wings stands in a dark, stormy sky with clouds and bright sunlight behind her. She wears a black t-shirt, ripped black jeans, and has green energy surrounding her hands and body, with a choker featuring a crescent moon pendant.

Sypnosis

For nearly a year, Ginny Blackwell has been the perfect prisoner.

As a Psy Demon capable of reading auras and manipulating emotions, she's the ultimate prize for Jerry, the charismatic and dangerously obsessed leader of the Human Advancement Group. Staying compliant, staying quiet, staying alive has been the only way to keep her brother Henry safe. It's been working. Until now.

When a lethal threat strikes closer than she ever anticipated, playing it safe stops being an option. Armed with her wits, a stolen anti-compulsion drug, and a deepening psychic bond with Gabriel, a lethal demon assassin who is becoming harder to keep at arm's length, Ginny stops waiting to be saved and goes on the offensive.

What follows is a dangerous game of infiltration, desperation, and dark power she's spent a lifetime keeping buried. Getting what she needs won't just require outsmarting the people who caged her — it will require becoming something they never saw coming.

She survived Book 1 by deciding what kind of monster she was willing to become. In Demon Sins, she finds out.

Why This Book, Now

The world is full of noise. Sometimes what we need is a story that finds us in the quiet, in those late night moments when the day is done and we're left alone with our questions. Demon Bonds doesn't follow the playbook because it wasn't written from one. It was written from the questions I couldn't stop asking myself, for the readers who are asking them too.
