WICKED IN ME
Series: Devil’s Cradle #1
Author: Suzanne Wright
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: January 12th, 2022
No one really knows what they are. Only that they’re the first civilization. Aeons, they call themselves. They’re immortal. Powerful. Secretive.
And they’ll come for her.
Witch Wynter Dellavale knows that for certain. Because in unfairly trying to execute her, they started a chain of events they’re struggling to stop. Needing safety, she flees to Devil’s Cradle, the home of monsters. A place for the outcasts, the fugitives, the crazies. A place ruled by the Ancients, seven beings who were once banished by the Aeons. Among the Ancients is the infamous Cain, brother of Abel and embodiment of jealousy – who, on another note, wants her in his bed.
There’s a heavy price for the safety the Ancients offer, but Wynter will have to pay it. She can’t take on the Aeons alone. And she has no intention of dying – been there, done that.
Not that she’ll be the easy prey the Aeons are expecting. They have no knowledge of the … thing that lives inside her. You see, when witches are brought back from the afterlife, they don’t always come back the same.
And they don’t always come back alone.

Well, I’ll be DAMNED (pun intended)!!! I just knew it, this Devil’s Cradle series ROCKED. My. World!!! That’s right, my all time favourite PNR series Dark In You – the one where this spin off originates – has some serious competition. Consider my mind BLOWN!!!
Wynter’s background broke my heart, but her crew is making her heal as well as driving her insane, and I adored every single one of those crazies. When they decide too seek asylum in Devil’s Cradle, it’s like it was fated, because the Ancients are the perfect adversaries for the Aeons, given their millennia’s old history.
I’ll not spoil anything, but as soon as Wynter comes to Devil’s Cradle to seek refuge, and none other than Cain himself greets her, she more than caught his eye, it’s like she’s HIS from the get go, that’s how insane their chemistry and attraction was. Adding to that that Cain is as OTT Alpha as my beloved Knox, she didn’t stand a chance, not that she wanted, lol, because he was the OBSESSED with Wynter…
But Wynter . . . he fucking burned for her.
Their relationship fast tracked, but understandably so, these are INTENSE beings, from the get go, after all, but I loved their ‘no BS’ attitude in all things, these are my kind of people.
And talking about people, ALL the side characters are so intriguing and nuts – specially her quirky and bad@ss crew – but also Cain’s crew, the other Ancients, that I can’t wait for find more out about them. There was never one dull moment on the book, I tell you, I DEVOURED it in one sitting. Yep, from the first page I was hooked, enraptured, and like Cain, OBSESSED!
“I’m not just going to fuck you, sweet witch. I’m going to ruin you. Corrupt you. Consume you.” His tongue traced the shell of her ear. “You’ll break. You’ll cry. You’ll feel like you’re mine.”
His to pleasure, rule, ruin, corrupt, play with—whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
Cain and Wynter are a match made in heaven – or should I say hell, lol? – I was addicted from the very first meeting, and want to know it all, not only are they evenly matched power wise, but their chemistry was crackling in every moment they were near each other, it was a palpable thing, therefore it was no surprise that their steamy times are some of the sexy and hottest I’ve had the pleasure of reading.
Wicked in Me had it all: sexy romance, hilarious ROFL moments, mind grabbing banter, and some brilliant action and suspense scenes, it really gave us everything, and still Ms. Wright left me begging for more!
Gahhh, how am I supposed to live, and satisfy my romance lover heart until their next book comes out?! NEED… IT…
“I want you to belong to me so completely that I own your every fucking thought.”
“You’re just as fucking insane as I am.”
