4.5 out of 5 stars!



One of the things I can say after reading multiple Kira Adams books is that they are always compelling stories that I devour, typically in one day! I get so engrossed that I can not put it down until I have finished. A Date with the Devil is no exception. It grabbed me from the very first page and would not let go until the very last.



I loved the way that this story was told, alternating between the present and the past. I think seeing Bryce struggle to get her life back on track, while alternately watching how it fell apart a year previously really made her journey that much more gripping. It made you really appreciate each accomplishment, each seemingly little step, that Bryce made, because after each one you got yet another painful glimpse at just how much she had to overcome to get that victory. All of the sudden these small feats were much larger and you were cheering her on along the way.



I also really dug the “guy next door” thing going on here! Tyson was the kind of neighbor I think we would all appreciate….especially us ladies! He was a genuine good guy, and I thought it was sweet how he was there for Bryce right from the start. Even when their relationship became strained, he never stopped being there for her, and that’s something special.



Even though I had a pretty good idea where things were ultimately heading, there were still a few surprises along the way, which was nice. This had some darker themes at play here, but I would say that it was more about dealing with your demons and moving forward and never giving up. And those are some pretty powerful messages!



I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
