Book Review: Moonlight Scandals by Jennifer L Armentrout (de Vincent #3)

Moonlight Scandals (de Vincent, #3)Moonlight Scandals by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've really enjoyed this series of books.

This book was particularly interesting as we finally get to know and understand the the Devil himself; Devlin de Vincent. The previous two books paint Dev as a cold harsh and unlikable character, so I was more than intrigued to read his story and discover what has shaped his character. This is a hard review to write without giving away spoilers so what I will say is this:

Do we find out why he was with Sabrina for so long in this book?: Yes we do.
Do we find out once and for all if Dev killed his Father in this book?: Yes we do.
Do we finally find out what Lawrence had been up to to make him so evil?: Yes we do.
Do we discover who Gabe and Dev's real father is: Yes we do.

I like that Rosie, Nikki's friend in the previous book, is the leading lady in this one. Especially as it overlaps and sort of continues on a little bit of Nikki and Gabe's relationship. You get to finally see what was going on between Dev and Rosie while Gabe comforts Nikki in Rosie's apartment, which was quite entertaining. I found Rosie to be a interesting character particularly as she does not help me finally come to a conclusion as to whether there is a supernatural element to this series or not. Seriously, just when I think I've decided one way or the other, something else crops that makes me think other wise.

There were a couple of twists in this book. One that I kind of guessed, and a couple more that I totally didn't see coming at all.

I really loved this series and given the revelation at the end I hope that there may be more to come from the de Vincent family.

Book review: Moonlight Seduction by Jennifer L Armentrout (de Vincent #2)

Moonlight Seduction (de Vincent, #2)Moonlight Seduction by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As soon as I had finished Moonlight Sins (book one) I just knew that I had to get my hands on the rest of the series.

I loved this book. I enjoyed seeing the slightly different dynamic between Nikki and Gabe than we had with Julia and Lucien, what with Nikki having known the de Vincent brothers since she was a child.

One thing that I really love about these books is that is is never quite clear whether there is a supernatural element to them or not. It's stated that the de Vincent Mansion is suppose to be haunted and just like in the first book just when you start to believe its something supernatural, something happens to explain it all away.

The plot line in this book keeps you guessing all the way through. It also sets up the next book quite nicely.

Once you start reading this you will not want to put it down. Loved it.
