This book is a good fit for readers who enjoy romance novels with a focus on uncovering secrets and overcoming past traumas in a fast-paced, adventurous setting.

This was a waste of time. It was not enjoyable. It was very problematic and I do not recommend. There are other books that feature the same type of concept that are executed much better.

Blaise and Blake had big plans. Once she finished school they were going to leave their small town and start a new life in Vegas. Every summer the boys would go to Vegas and work small jobs for quick cash and they all had big plans for life what life would be like there.

❝Wʜᴏ ɪs ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴇᴍʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴡʜᴏ ɪs ᴏɴ ᴍʏ sɪᴅᴇ? I’ᴍ ᴏɴ ᴍʏ ᴏᴡɴ ᴀɴᴅ I ғᴇᴇʟ ʟɪᴋᴇ I’ᴍ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴘᴜʟʟᴇᴅ ɪɴ ʜᴀʟғ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ ᴍʏ ᴘᴀsᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍʏ ғᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ.❞

You’ll have to read Where Demons Hide to find out what happens!

Gahhh I am trying so hard not to give away and spoilers! Where Demons Hide is one of those heart-stopping, jaw-dropping reads full of suspense that you need to go in blind and reveal the secrets yourself. I always try and play Detective when I read romantic suspense stories like this one and most of the time, I can figure out who to trust and who not to fairly quickly. HA! Up until the very end, I was STILL flip-flopping back and forth on who I thought was trustworthy and who wasn’t.

❝Tʀᴜsᴛ ɴᴏ ᴏɴᴇ. Nᴏᴛ ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇs ʏᴏᴜ ғᴇᴇʟ ᴍᴏsᴛ ʟᴏʏᴀʟ ᴛᴏ.❞

I loved seeing Trent again! If you have read A.M. Brooks debut Hearts Duet then you’ll know who I’m talking about. We got a little more of what was going on with him during the end of Hearts & Flowers and I am crossing my fingers AND my toes that his story is up next because I am DYING for it!

❝Wᴇ’ʀᴇ ɪɴ ᴅᴇᴇᴘ, ᴀɴᴅ I ᴋɴᴏᴡ I ᴡᴏɴ’ᴛ sᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴇ ɪғ I ʟᴏsᴇ ʜɪᴍ.❞

I spent the better half of this book just wanting to comfort Blaise. She had such a shitty childhood, and then to lose the one person that she has ever been able to rely on… my heart broke for her. But she was strong, and no matter what she refused to back down until she got answers about what really happened to her brother.

❝Tʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs ᴀ ᴛʜɪɴ ʟɪɴᴇ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴇ. Hᴇ ᴛᴏᴏᴋ ᴛʜᴇ ᴋɴɪғᴇ ᴏғ ʙᴇᴛʀᴀʏᴀʟ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄᴜᴛ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ɪᴛ.❞

I wasn’t sure about Jay at first. He kind of came out of nowhere and like Blaise I wasn’t sure if he could be trusted or not. He was so secretive and some of the things he did made it really hard to believe that he was a good guy. But needless to say, I slowly but surely warmed up to him. Even though there were moments I wanted to slap him in the back of the head because if he had just told Blaise this or that, she wouldn’t have had to second guess him. I loved watching everything unfold though, and finding out just how much he cared for Blaise, and that he’s cared about her much longer then Blaise is even aware of. *Sigh* yeah, I still fell for Jay McCall.

❝I’ᴅ ᴅɪᴇ ɪғ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ. I ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ғᴜʟʟʏ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀsᴛᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀɢɴɪᴛᴜᴅᴇ ᴏғ ʜᴏᴡ I ғᴇᴇʟ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ. Yᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ ᴀɴᴅ I ᴄᴀɴ’ᴛ ʟᴏsᴇ ʏᴏᴜ.❞

Blaise and Jay had sparks flying from my Kindle! Jay was a very alpha type guy and even though Blaise was strong-willed and defied him at every turn, the one place she willingly submitted to him was in the bedroom and my oh my… even with all the angst and mystery, this one is scorching hot! From the very first night when they met in that bar the chemistry was explosive between Jay and Blaise. But Blaise is so confused because of all the secrets surrounding Blake’s death that she pushes while Jay continues to pull. I loved the back and forth between them.

That ending… I won’t give away any spoilers but WOW! I just did NOT see it coming. AT. ALL. As I said, I continued trying to unravel the mystery up until the very end.

❝Mʏ ᴇʏᴇs ᴀʀᴇ ɴᴏᴡ ᴏᴘᴇɴ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴍᴏɴs ʜɪᴅɪɴɢ ɪɴ ᴘʟᴀɪɴ sɪɢʜᴛ.❞

A.M. Brooks is a new author, but she’s already proving herself to be a brilliant one. I loved her new adult, Hearts Duet. But she blew me away with Where Demons Hide. The way she wrote the emotions that Blaise goes through after the loss of her brother… beautifully written. I ALMOST gave this one four in a half stars instead of five but in the end, decided it deserved its full five-star rating. That was ONLY because I really, REALLY, would have liked to have Jay’s point of view as well. BUT I understand that to keep the suspense of the story going, the author couldn’t really give us his POV. Brooks knew what she was doing with this one.

If you like your romance filled with twists and turns, suspense, and a little murder and betrayal, then I highly recommend checking out Where Demons Hide, MUST READ!!!

This book was a steamy, wild ride. From the first page, I was hooked and could not finish this book fast enough.

Blaise is completely destroyed after the sudden death of her brother, Blake, and then in walks a dark, dominant stranger that sets her world on fire and throws her into a world of mystery and intrigue. Just like this book kept Blaise guessing about who she could trust, I was questioning that right along with her (though I did guess one key detail). Watching Blaise refind her strength and her HOT, and I mean HOT!!!!, romance blossom had me devouring this book in less than 24 hours. There were times when I was holding my breath, wanted to scream, cry, and laugh out loud.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in new adult with a twist.

The City of Sin holds more than secrets. He doesn’t remember me. But, I remember him. The mysterious and brooding Jay McCall. His touch. His kiss. His hands on me. It’s burned into my mind. The one incredible night we shared.

But, that was before...Before I lost my brother. Before grief held me hostage. He’s back, and it has nothing and everything to do with me. The secrets he’s keeping are tangled with my brother’s death. My heart. My body. At war over a man I barely know. A man who knows the truth.

This was a pretty good romantic thriller. I really liked Blaise as she unravels the mystery. Totally satisfied with the HEA. I highly recommend.

**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I gave this a four out five stars. I really enjoyed this, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I haven't stayed up late to finish a book in a long while until now. I started it last night and stayed up all night to finish it. I've been having trouble with reading keeping my attention and to continuously read. With this book though I didn't have that problem at all. Some of the conflicts in this book could have been worked out by communicating. I liked how the main character wanted to do things herself and not have everyone else do things for her. This book made me feel a lot of things.

This very much had the Fast and the Furious vibes to me! I think the author did a great job of capturing the tension and whisking the reader away. I got lost in the book honestly. This is one of my favorites for this years reading list. If you like action and heady romance I would suggest this for you! I would rate this a five out of five! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. #NetGalley

I am not a fan with the stories starting off with one night stand sex scenes. The story seems to revolve around the endless hot and heavy sex scenes. While the story take a back seat. When the story does comes out I found it interesting. The female lead is constantly pushing people away and that story is extremely repetitive to the point of eye rolling. The first half of the story is very slow going and sex related. While some will love the hot and heavy romance side of the story but those looking for a balance will need to find a different author.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of A.M Brooks Where Demons Hide.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend to everyone.

Where Demons Hide took me by surprise of how much I enjoyed it. It's a quick read that mixes the thriller thematic with a romance, we got a lot of twists and mistrust for our romantic pair that brought some really hot scenes to the pages. Not everyone is what they seem, and this book is exactly the same.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest opinion.

I raced through this book and whilst it isn’t exactly literature at its finest it provides romance and drama and a whodunnit!
I was captivated with the rollercoaster the main character was on and found it to be a good enjoyable read.
A thriller romance for sure

I received a copy of this book ifrom Netgalley n exchange for my honest review.

This was my first book by this author.
I felt the story began slowly but ramped up tension, mystery and sexual chemistry quickly.

The narrative, bounces around with the character's confusion, desperation, mistrust of information and clues and attraction to the male protagonist.

Complementary copy given for honest review
Some strange back and forth action in the book. It was slow at spots but I enjoyed the total book.

I wanted to like this book, but I just had trouble really getting into it. The characters just didn't pull me in and hold my attention and make me want to keep reading to find out where the story went.

A bit slow to start, but once it got going I didn’t want to put this down. A fun, quick read, nothing hugely original but very entertaining. Loved the characterisation and chemistry, wish there was more backstory, but you could deal with that in future books. A great read with real emotion

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley..

This was my first book by this author.
Let me start by saying, A.M. Brooks has talent. This book was AMAZING. I loved everything about it from the characters, the writing style, the storyline... i couldn[t put it down, and I can't wait to read more by the author!!!

I got this as an ARC by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this book was a bit confusing, and the first 20% were very slow and nothing really happened. It was a bit covering Blaise's emotions but I think that part could have been much shorter and made the book more enjoyable.
I think the romance could have been stronger and they should have had more chemistry.

I recieved a free digital copy of this book through Netgalley. All opinions are my own an dare given voluntarily.

So I honestly don't know what to sya about this book... It isn't at all what I was expecting and though it had some good twists and great characters, I was thoroughly confused through the entire book because the title doesn't really fit the book... At one point they use the exact term but it still doesn't make much sense to me.

I wish there was more backstory and more blake I think he would have been an awesome character.

I didn't like Jay he's a liar, Stone, Antonio and Joey all act weird and some of that is explained later in but not completely... Which is also confusing. The epilogue is also confusing especially that little bit at the end with Trent...

It was a whole load of story with twists and lies and a lot of confusion... I know some of that was intentional since we are learning what happened at the same time that Blaise is... But still too much confusion for me... I like a nice clear cut ending which this wasn't even with the epilogue.

This is the reason I've rated it 3 stars, the twists and turns and lies kept me gripped and interested and binge reading and yet the complete lack of character development and ending confusion and having no real answers stopped it from being 4 Stars.

This was such a fun and quick read! It didn't knock my socks off or anything, but it was very cute and the cartel/crime part made it very interesting.

Writing style: I really liked the style. I can't quite explain what it was, I can just say I liked it. Just enough details to form a proper picture in my head. The tasteful writing kept me reading.

Characters: They were a little flat, but that often seems to be the case in short romance novels. I did get very annoyed by Jay's caveman attitude and the fact that Blaise still had sex with him when he was in one of those demanding moods.

Story: The romance could have been stronger, but I was alright with how it was. The crime part could have been more intense, it wasn't as terrifying as it should be. The story had a lot of potential, but it didn't quite live up to that potential. Still fun enough.

Ending: The ending kinda sucked. The book builds up to a big ending where everything comes together, but it wasn't as shocking as I hoped it would be. It could have been way more intense and fleshed out.

The book was decent enough, but it could have been better. All in all I enjoyed myself and this book gets three stars from me.

Where demons hide by A.M. Brooks.
A good read with likeable characters. Likeable story bit slow but readable. 4*.
