Hideaway (Devil's Night #2) Read Free Online

Hideaway is the 2d book in the nighttime romantic suspense serial Devil'due south Night by Penelope Douglas.  I absolutely recommend reading the first volume, Corrupt, prior to reading this 1 because it a truthful continuation of the serial, and is non a stand alone, despite focusing on unlike main characters than book ane.  If you read this book first yous volition likely feel confused and it will spoil book one. Also, every bit this is a night romance, basically the whole unabridged matter is triggering equally the book includes rape, incest, corruption, issues with consent, violence, and misogyny.

DEVIL'Southward Dark is returning! Hiding places, chases, and all the games are back…

BANKS
Buried in the shadows of the city, there's a hotel chosen The Pope. Ailing, empty, and dark—information technology sits abandoned and surrounded past a forgotten mystery.

Merely you recall it'south truthful, don't yous, Kai Mori? The story about the hidden twelfth floor. The mystery of the dark guest who never checked in and never checks out. Yous think I can help you lot find that hush-hush hideaway and get to him, don't you?

You and your friends can endeavour to scare me. Y'all tin endeavor to push button me. Considering even though I struggle to hide everything I feel when you look at me—and have ever since I was a girl—I think peradventure what y'all seek is so much closer than y'all'll ever realize.

I will never betray him.

And so sit tight.

On Devil's Nighttime, the hunt will be coming to you.

KAI
You have no idea what I seek, Little One. You don't know what I had to go to survive three years in prison for a crime I would gladly commit again.

No one can know what I've turned into.

I want that hotel, I want to find him, and I want this over.

I desire my life back.

Just the more I'm effectually you, the more I realize this new me is exactly who I was meant to be.

So come on, kid. Don't chicken out. My firm is on the hill. And then many ways in, and adept luck finding your way out.

I've seen your hideaway. Fourth dimension to see mine.

A few words that come up to mind when thinking about this book: scary, demented, terrifying, thrilling, erotic, and so correct back to scary, demented, etc.

Every character in this book has mental health issues and needs counseling – this series is not going to give you a romance with healthy relationships. They all become too far, their morals and ethics are highly questionable.

The story goes back and forth between present day and Devil'due south Night six years agone (which is earlier the gang met Erika from book ane), and at that place are some flashbacks as well to Banks's youth.

The heroine Banks was a bit annoying that she so often contradicted herself about what she did and did not want. She struggles throughout the story with her loyalty to her brother and making choices for herself.  It was frustrating that she could so hands see how her brother was driveling but couldn't meet how she was being driveling too – simply I saw this as a symptom of her grooming and abuse.

I've liked the hero, Kai, since book i, and I recollect Douglas did a keen chore with writing him.  Even though we institute things to like about him in the last book, Douglas didn't have a problem making him into a creepy graphic symbol that pushes and scares yous, sometimes making you forget that he does have a practiced side.

Damon is back and continues to be a threat – he seems completely demented, even worse than before.  And I'm pretty sure the next volume is near him and I don't think there is any manner – even in this fucked upwards serial that he tin can redeem himself afterwards the evil things he did in the last two books. Granted, nosotros get some compelling dorsum story that makes you sort of understand why he'southward so fucked up – but some things are unforgivable.

Banks'due south dad was probably the scariest part of the story – in that we've learned from the books so far that the Horsemen practise have limits, even if it doesn't seem like information technology, but we don't however know how far her dad would go and that's unsettling.

This book fabricated me want even more of Alex and even though she'south not a horseman I really hope nosotros get a story for her HEA. This book besides really made me feel bad for Volition and want his story – that dude needs some happiness ASAP.

Overall, this story was just as bonkers every bit the terminal book if not more than and I'chiliad still shocked at how well Douglas pulls information technology off – it's all absolutely insane but in this world she's crafted its so real you only accept it. Every time I start describing these books out loud it sounds like a hot mess of disturbing events but I swear the way Douglas writes is so captivating that information technology does not come up off messy at all.

Besides, though you might recollect information technology's obvious from the title of the series, Devil's Night, but these romances really are perfect for Halloween fourth dimension – they are so scary, violent, atmospheric, and erotic (with HEAs!). I'm all the same shook that I beloved these so much just whatsoever! I liked the first volume meliorate than this one probably because I went in with no expectations merely honestly this was a great follow upwardly to continue the mood, feels, and plot of the story. Excited to be disturbed and likely blown away past book 3, which has yet to have an announced publication date.

Recommend for fans of Corrupt and dark romantic suspense set effectually Devil'southward Night/Halloween.

4.5 stars!
