Devil by Ker Dukey

πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒ— out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Synopsis:
Evi Devil.

Yes, that’s really my name.
The irony is not lost on me.

I was created from two evil souls and have the name to prove it.
Devil worshipers, perverts, murderer. Is all terms used to describe the parents I refuse to remember. My mind won’t allow me to.

And why would I want to?
One born of dirty blood running through her veins can never truly be clean from its murky hue.
No matter what they try to tell me happened in my past, my mind denies me access, therefore how can I know it’s true?

How can I believe that’s what I’m born from?
Glimpses of my past haunt me, the screams of terror echo in the silent darkness of my memories, trying to remind me that my Mother went from room to room butchering our family.

I’ve learned from scars that I suffered abuse and that my Father and siblings weren’t my Mother’s only victims.
Hearing what they tell me.
Reading the words printed in the papers. None of it can prepare me for what’s to come.
My biggest lesson is learning that some memories we suppress for a reason.


Warning: This book is incredibly dark, twisted, and has many triggers due to sensitive subject matter. If you have read Ker Dukey's books before then you can probably disregard this. 

 From the moment that the book begins, it is clear that Evi has suppressed memories that she is attempting to recover in order to feel whole. Ker Dukey does an excellent job of conveying Evi's mindset and helping the reader to see that Evi's point of view should not always be trusted. It is clear that she has been through things that have distorted her view. 

I thought that Evi's head was an interesting place to be and could not believe all of the events that had taken place in her life at such a young age. There were moments in the book that turned my stomach and made me want to punch something. I found her to be pretty well adjusted during the course of the book considering the hand that she had been dealt. 

There were a few twists and turns thrown in by the author that I did not see coming at all. I thought that they were well executed and when I look back I can see where Ker Dukey had lain the groundwork for them. I have to say that that ending was twisted! I think that I am still trying to digest everything because I am in shock. I think that I am attempting to justify the actions of characters in the book and that is just wrong. Let's just say that if you are looking for a DARK book then this is the book for you. In my opinion, this is Ker Dukey's darkest book thus far.
