Devil
by Ker Dukey
Evi Devil.
Yes, that is really my name.
The irony is not lost on me.
I was created from two evil souls and have the name to prove it.
Devil worshipers, perverts, murderer. Is all terms used to describe the parents I refuse to remember.
My mind will not allow me to.
And why would I want to?
One born with dirty blood running through her veins can never truly be clean from its murky hue.
No matter what they try to tell me happened in my past, my mind denies me access, therefore how can I know it is true?
How can I believe that is what I am born from?
Glimpses of my past haunt me, the screams of terror echo in the silent darkness of my memories, trying to remind me that my Mother went from room to room butchering our family.
I have learned from scars that I suffered abuse and that my Father and siblings were not my Mother's only victims.
Hearing what they tell me.
Reading the words printed in the papers. None of it can prepare me for what's to come.
My biggest lesson is learning that some memories we suppress for a reason.

As with most books written by Ker Dukey, nothing is ever as it seems. You have to be ready and you have to prepared for the twisted crazy she brings to life in her characters. Yes, there are triggers, but that is her writing style, and something I wouldn't expect her to change. If you want a fairy tale, you're in the wrong genre. I was first introduced to Ker Dukey's work in Pretty Stolen Dolls. My favorite part of reading is trying to decide how the story ends. Good luck with that! Ker Dukey isn't having any part of you being right.
Evi Devil grew up in hell. She was finally rescued from her prison when her mother went on a killing rampage in her own home. Who would have thought that would be what saved Evi. But, can one really ever be normal after that? Luckily for Evi, she can't remember her past. However, she doesn't quite realize how lucky she is until she sets out seeking her memories. Will her memories be ones that she really wants to remember? The twists are all over in Devil and some will make your jaw hit the floor. I loved it and am giving it 5-stars, and I will be rereading Devil again in the future. Devil is one of those books you could read over and over and still find something new that you missed before. Again, it's a DARK ROMANCE, so be ready, but it's so worth it! I love Ker Dukey's work and am always eager to read her next work!

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that I tell my own.
My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.
When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.
You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.
