The story has been done before, not not nearly as well as it was done here! Love this, and will be watching for new books from this author!

If you're looking for a book that has weak characters with no common sense and a penchant for boring details, The Devil's Own is the series starter for you. Our main character, Delaney, is the daughter of the devil (and the devil happens to be a rock star). Due to some mysterious succubus-type power, Delaney lives in exile except when she tries to go Batman by interfering in perceived crimes. While she's surprisingly effective at this, she is so stupid as to be almost clueless when it comes to fighting crime and the law. In fact, not only does Laney leave a pretty easy trail for herself in this current case of a murderer stalking strippers, she also antagonizes the detective who comes investigating as if he's the one doing wrong. Obviously, the author has never done any research. Or even watched CSI. The writing style, however, though over-laden with details about breakfast and toothbrushing than a reader cares to know, is light and fun, if boring on the pacing.

Laney is the daughter of a former rock legend who died in a plane crash and who is actually the Devil himself. She struggles with some of the same powers her father does afraid to let people close and hurting them.
This was an interesting read, I enjoyed the side characters a bit more than Laney and can't wait to see how those relationships develop.

This has a (shockingly) believable main character with an interesting plot. I went into this thinking it was going to be more of the average fast paced paranormal/urban fantasy cross blend, but I actually ended up preferring the build up.

If you like urban fantasy where the protagonist is an anti-hero, or are a fan of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong, you will enjoy this book which is the first of a projected series. Laney is the daughter of the Devil...literally. She is a believable character and the plot is interesting without giving into too many tired tropes. A good addition for collections with a strong urban/paranormal/fantasy demand.

I was really expecting this book to be about a bad-ass heroine but it wasn't. I feel like for the first half of the book there was no plot because nothing interesting was happening; Delaney was undercover trying to catch a murderer and then got 2 bodyguards from her father who is the devil. That's what happened for the first half of the book, so I was kind of disappointed at that point, but the story got better. The Devil had to get an identity and it was of a rock star who was supposed to be dead and he is separated from his wife. I was interested to read about the Devil and how he would be portrayed in this book and I'm happy that he was in the book quite often. Delaney lives in the real world and since she has abilities she prefers to live away from her loved ones including her mother and I liked that aspect of the story. She is not evil and her father is not portrayed as evil either and there is nothing mentioned about what the Devil does when he's away.

I was slightly disappointed because I had such high hopes for this book, I wanted to learn more about the Devil and I wanted more action. Cal a man that was sent to guard Delaney and some of their interactions were supposed to be funny but I didn't think it was. At this point I'm not sure if I'm interested in the next book.

I'm a little on the fence about this one. On one hand I liked it, but then again, it didn't blow me away.

I think THE DEVIL'S OWN started off strong, but didn't really keep me in the zone. The heroine starts off as a bad ass which was great, but we don't get a lot of badass moments for her to really shine through. The story had a really interesting premise, but it felt rushed to me. I would have liked a little more development of the story, world and characters.

THE DEVIL'S OWN was a bit on the short side, so I think I will give book two a chance to blow me away like book one didn't do.

I loved this book so much, so much to keep you interested, good twists on good and evil and a great main character. Took some time to pick it’s pace up, but when it does a great read

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This book was beyond amazing!

Since I read the description of this book I’ve been hooked, this is the book I’ve been looking for my whole life

10/10 would recommend

Mysterious, tantalising, and easy to engage with, K.A Fox has written a suspenseful story around the complexity of people commonly referred to as 'evil'. Focusing heavily on the dynamic of the Devil and his Daughter, Fox has convincingly transcended conventional boundaries, to approach a topic of magic, demons, and plot of vengeance, all while constructing a MC who is relate-able, and genuine.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book for an honest review!

I thought The Devil’s Own was a nice and easy read. It was a unique spin on the devil himself and his daughter that can’t get away from her father’s demons no matter how hard she tries.

Overall it was a fun read and look forward to reading more by K.A. Fox.

KA Fox's, The Devil's Own, was an engaging, fast paced read. The interactions between characters were fun, the addition of a Hell hound was a great choice made by the author, and the main character was one that I actually liked and related to. She hates people, I hate people! See? We're practically best friends already. Delaney Murphy, despite being the daughter of the Devil, has a kind heart and good intentions. Her father's little demon spawns want to hurt innocent girls? Not on her watch. She was born with magic that was passed down after her birth, a kind of magic she refuses to take pleasure in, so she secludes herself in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere to get away from humans and the danger she can put them in.

But, as life goes, it decides to kick her in the ass. Her overprotective father senses the danger she's in and decides to send a random man to protect her and flip her carefully secluded world upside down. The demons are coming after her, but is she ready?

My thoughts on this book are conflicted. It wasn't one of my favorites, and I wish a few things were done differently, but I just couldn't put it down. When I read the synopsis, I thought, oh cool! we'll get a daughter-father duo where both of them are shamelessly bad and have a little evil in them...but where was the Lucifer in this book, because all I saw was a cuddly teddy bear who couldn't hurt a fly. Other than that, I found it to be an enjoyable read.

When I saw this listing on NetGalley, I immediately wanted to read it. I'll often select a new book based on a combination review of both the cover and the story synopsis. This time, the cover drew me in before I had even read the synopsis. I'm generally a sucker for anything blue, and this was no exception. The combination of the hazy, almost gloomy, blue background and the super strong female central figure intrigued me. The defiant, "crazy-eyed" expression on her face just added fuel to the fire. Upon reviewing the synopsis, I figured that this story was completely in my wheel-house. Serial Killer + Demons = Awesome. Right? Well, mostly.

As soon as I started reading, I knew that something was off. Focussing on the story was difficult. I had tons of questions that just kept popping up, and none were getting answered by the text. The development of all ancillary characters was super slow while the main character, Delaney, blazed along at a speed that left too much to the imagination. One of my biggest issues was the timeline… or lack thereof. Thirteen chapters in and I was still wondering how much time had elapsed since Delaney lived in Hell. While this may not seem like something to derail a story; without it, I was in limbo. Not only could I not place when the story was happening; but I also couldn't assign an age value to Delaney. Many of the settings and situations she finds herself in depend on this type of classification, so I feel like that was definitely a "ball drop".

So, here I am at the end of this book and I am at a bit of a loss. It could have been so much more. The author is very skilled at painting romantic and steamy scenes, but her action sequences need some more growth and development. Also, the story has great bones but needs quite a bit more fleshing out. I want to find out what happens to Laney next, but I'm apprehensive that the next installation will only be an outline as well. I've decided to keep an eye on the author as this is both her first offering and the first installation in a series. For those looking for a quick light read, I'd recommend this book. However, for all my true fantasy buffs I'd say pass until this series is a bit more… meaty.

Last word: I LOVE Moose. He's my absolute favorite, and I laughed at many of his interactions.

2.5 stars
This one was a little tough for me. It took way to long for me to get into the book at all. And I cant say that I enjoyed it enough to want to pick up the second book. The premise is interesting and the writing isn't bad at all. I just really struggled to get into the story unfortunately. I do think there will be many people that enjoy this book though.

Rock n Roll may be the devil’s music and the devil may be in the details. Here’s what might be termed an urban fantasy and paranormal romance, sure to capture the young adult interest. The devil is a retired rock star and his daughter has discovered she has certain powers as she reaches her teenage years. Unfortunately, the demons of this world won’t leave her in peace and not even the hounds of Hell can keep them away. A quick easy read, although not always fully believable and not really up my alley genre-wise. Many thanks to the publisher for providing a copy for review.

This book was received as an ARC from Acorn Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

Slow start, but great character interaction brings the story right up to speed. This has the makings of a great series!

I just wanted to say thank you to NetGalley and the Author for letting me have a ARC copy. I don't put spoilers in my reviews but I do want to say that it was a nice read and was a well written young adult book. When I first saw it I thought the cover looked great and the the little blurb about it caught my attention. I read this book quickly and it never slowed down. There were a couple back story elements I wish was explained or explored more but that would be my only criticism. The ending was pretty surprising although you kinda got a feeling what was going to happen in general and I feel/hope that this is just the start of the series because I would love to follow Laney down some more adventures.

Overall a fun quick read if you want something that is light on the horror but solid on the story great job K.A. Fox and I hope to see further books in the series.

The Devil's Own is the story of the devil's daughter. Just as I expected, the story is engaging, fun and easy to read. The heroine has powers because she's half human. How do you survive in a human world being so different? I never imagined the devil as a loving father, but it works. Enjoyable overall! Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

K.A. Fox's The Devil's Own was very well written. I found it to be an exhilarating tale following Delaney Murphy, a rockstar/the Devil's daughter, who isolates herself when her magic powers poison those closest to her heart. When she hears about a string of murders, Laney is forced to leave her peaceful life behind to hunt down the murderer and face this danger. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who loves a good fantasy mystery.

This debut book from author K.A. Fox was absolutely fantastic. Delaney, the main character, is the daughter of the devil. I loved how the devil was portrayed, it reminds me of Lucifer in Supernatural and he is my favorite rendition of Lucifer. The book was fun and full of excitement. I hope there are many more books in this series because I absolutely love these characters!
