Review & Release Blitz: The Devil's Crown, Part 1 (All the Pretty Things Trilogy Spin-Off) by Monica James

THE DEVIL’S CROWN
PART ONE
Monica James
I was feared.
Respected.
Worshiped.
But all of that changed when the impossible happened—I fell in love. Only those feelings weren’t reciprocated, because who could love a monster like me?
My empire crumbled. People died. I went from being a victorious leader to lurking in the shadows, planning revenge on my half-brother who now reigns in my place.
An orphanage is where I find sanctuary, but when she walks into my world and evokes a yearning I thought long dead, my demons are awakened and want what they can’t have—her. Sooner or later, I knew I’d need to feed the darkness inside me.
Mayhem, power, and control course through my veins. I will use them to regain my crown, my throne, and then claim her, despite what solemn vows she might’ve made.
I will break them…and her.

MY REVIEW
Um wow. Yep. That's the word that came to mind when I was done reading this first part of The Devil's Crown. If you've read the All the Pretty Things Trilogy, you'll remember Aleksei. He's not a good guy in it, nor is he really a good guy here in his own story either. What he is, however, is much more interesting than he was previously, as someone has come into his life that is making him wish for a bit of, if not redemption, then perhaps someone to just love him, to see some kind of good in him, even if he doesn't think, or isn't sure there is, good in him.

I won't spoil, I'll just say that this dark and twisty first part of Aleksei and Ella's story is first rate. I am dying to know what happens next, if Alek gets his woman, if he gets his empire back, if the two make it to the other side the way Willow and Saint did.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
