Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Enticing Journey Book Promotions and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Speak of the Devil is a captivating, darkly satiric psychological thriller which offers readers another savage look into a utopian cultish society where beauty and perfection are valued at all costs and it’s best to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. 

In the upscale suburb where Vanessa Bolton lives, she’s your average suburban housewife.

She does her grocery shopping on Tuesday, Thursday mornings are reserved for Pilates, Sundays for church. At home, she’s an impeccable housekeeper and a mother with a mediocre track record.

But in discreet hotel rooms throughout the city, she can be whatever you want her to be—provided you can afford the hourly fee.

In the rapidly expanding cult to which she belongs, Vanessa has been assigned the role of a “Siren”—a recruiter trained to use seduction to elicit compliance from her marks.

Vanessa’s latest assignment—an unsuspecting chemist merely looking for something without strings—proves to be her toughest yet. Unwilling to neatly slide into the roles society has prescribed for them, the two collide in a sensual and savage affair that threatens not only their own lives but also those they seek to protect most.

Featuring “tantalizing suspense, pulse-pounding danger, sex, and double-dealing,” Speak of the Devil is a timely and riveting psychological thriller that is impossible to put down.

“....this is a series that stands apart from all other psychological thrillers out there as Britney King uses unique concepts and slays character roles.” - Elle’s Book Blog

“By far my favorite of the New Hope series. I couldn’t put it down!!” - Goodreads review

“The writing in fantastic. The plot was engaging and original…” - Between the Bookends

Vanessa Bolton is talking right to the reader – almost like she wants to tell us her secrets.  Elliot Parker also speaks to the reader.  These characters want us involved with whatever is going on.  They both seem cynical and it draws my attention because I want to know what our author has planned for them.

I loved how this author got my mind involved.  With these characters it’s all a mental game.  They’re also visual – what the eyes see.  People are always watching.  Vanessa has an outside persona that people see but she allows the readers to see what she hides from outsiders.  But is it total control?  The sad part is that someone dictates what she does.  She also makes me question what her husband’s story is. 

Elliot is a man who likes to control things in his life.  He’s a hard man to figure out – he does things that seem so out of character.  Then he has me furrow my brow when he lets us in on something in his life.  What a great way to hold my attention.  If I even think of putting the book down it would feel as if I’m going to miss something – especially since I don’t know what’s going to happen next.  I had a hard time deciding who was worse at teasing me Vanessa or Elliot.  But in the end Elliot was nice to me and I’ll leave you to figure out how that happened. 

Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.

When she's not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.

Currently, she's writing three series and several standalone novels.

The Bedrock Series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.

The Water Series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.

Around The Bend is a heart-pounding standalone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.

The With You Series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.

The Social Affair is an intense standalone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me.
