I received an e-arc of Devil's Delirium by Dahlia Drake in September. The first installment of Dahlia's Cirque de Sanguine series is dark, horrific, gory, spicy and perfect for spooky season. Make sure you read the trigger warnings before starting because it starts out with difficult subject matters right out of the gate!
The protagonist, Tess, is a witch in a gritty, magic-filled urban fantasy world where power is the most important currency. As a starving, homeless teenager, Tess gives up her freedom for protection. Sadly, the person that was supposed to protect her ends up abusing her horrifically for 10 years and she can't do anything about it because they are magically bound in a way that gives her abuser all the power.
One of Tess' powers is having visions of people's demise if she touches them bare handed. After finding out that her boss is joining an annual event called Devil's Delirium in a bid to grow his sinister powers she has a vision about him meeting his end there at her hand.
In the winner-take-all gore-fest of the Devil's Delirium she teams up with the mysterious and devilishly handsome Reaper to try and take down her boss/abuser and somehow escape alive.
If you like your reads dark, gritty, smutty and full of horror, check out Devil's Delirium!
