"Dagaa can you have the Toufik heat up a bath and I'm going to need some food and vinum." Kagan instructed his lieutenant as he cradled his sleeping little pet.ĭagaa raised an eyebrow. Not only was he curious, but the female needed her side examined along with a bath. Kagan couldn't wait for his men to finish erecting his tent so he could look her over better. Of all the similarities Kagan noted in his new little pet that confounded him the most. Despite all that her intelligent eyes had studied him assessingly. Her skin was redder than he recalled at the auction and she probably needed several good meals. There was a bruise that had formed on her side from when she was roughly tossed into the cage.

I’ve been looking forward to read this first book of a new series, but somehow I ended up being a bit underwhelmed by the story instead. It’s no secret that I always love a good crime thriller, and there was just something about the title, cover and blurb of The Devil’s House that intrigued me from the beginning. *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and Inkubator Books in exchange for an honest review.

![]() ![]() I think under a less skilled author, things could have gotten jumbled and messy, but Crusie nails the pace and timing. ![]() The side characters play just as big a part in the story as Cal and Min, and the gathering of their friends adds that camaraderie of a friends group that I really enjoyed. Besides the main plot, there are several other things going on, all stories that connect to form the novel. She’s also funny and sweet, and I love that as the book progresses, people are drawn to her when they get to know her.
