The Devil She Knows by Alexandria Bellefleur is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, packed with witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and just the right amount of supernatural chaos. Samantha’s bad day takes an even worse turn when she ends up stuck in an elevator with Daphne, a demon who’s everything but what Samantha expected. The premise—a woman making a deal with a demon to win back her ex—sounds wild, and it certainly is, but Bellefleur’s trademark humor and heart shine through.

From the very first interaction, the dialogue is sharp, hilarious, and full of tension. Daphne, the devil in disguise, is as charming as she is mysterious, and watching her and Samantha navigate their increasingly complicated relationship had me both laughing and tearing up in equal measure. Each wish that Samantha makes brings unexpected twists, and the slow burn between them is absolutely addictive.

Bellefleur masterfully blends the charm of a romcom with the spice of paranormal romance, creating a dynamic that’s as emotional as it is hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud one moment and holding my breath the next. If you’re a fan of enemies-to-lovers, supernatural twists, and a love story that’s as fiery as it is tender, The Devil She Knows is an absolute must-read.

Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for approving me to read this early. I’ve always been a fan of the author’s books since Written in the Stars. While this book was more emotional for me I did enjoy Daphne and her way of getting under Sam’s skin. I found myself laughing out loud to things she would say. While also sobbing with things that happened later in the book. I would have liked more scenes with Daphne and Sam without the ex being mentioned. It was still a beautiful story.

This truly is Alexandria Bellefleur at her best. Witty dialogue, sexy banter and an emotional but hilarious dynamic between our two main characters. This paranormal take on a slight forbidden enemies to lovers hits all the right spots, while also hitting the beats of a traditional romcom.

The Devil She Knows is about Sam and Daphne (Human and Demon respectively) who go on an adventure of sorts for Sam to win back her ex girlfriend (by going into alternate realities of course). My favourite part about this book was the banter between our main characters. It was so sharp yet so sexy — you could cut the tension with a knife. However, we also had a few very emotional moments that genuinely made me tear up! Overall, I think this was a perfectly well rounded fast paced paranormal romcom that I’d definitely recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is perfect for someone like me, who loves the idea of spooky season but, is not a thriller or suspense girlie. I adore this whole plot and the romance that Alexandria writes is so sweet and cute.
