Below the Line is the second book in the Devil’s Due series by Chelsea Camaron. Although troubling at times, it was an enjoyable read.
The Devil’s Due MC was created by a small group of men with troubled pasts that are looking to right wrongs that haven’t been resolved through normal legal channels. They are nomads staying no one place for long but roam where the next lead takes them.
Below the Line focuses on “X”, aka Owen Maximus Gallow. He witnessed his mother’s murder and vowed to avenge her. He was on the streets as a child and never forgot his childhood soulmate, Hadley, who had died…..or so he thought.
Hadley Lauryn Combs lived on the streets until she was fifteen when she was taken against her will. After a decade, she escaped her hell and was living on the run.
X and Hadley’s paths crossed again and this time X vowed to protect her and never let her go. X was a hard man; however, I loved seeing the softness that was only exposed to Hadley. He had a vulnerability that was for Hadley alone.
Although dark, I liked the premise of the story. Additionally, Camaron kept the plot moving quickly with enough suspense and intrigue to keep it interesting. Throughout the storyline, Camaron continued to develop the Devil’s Due characters, revealing a little more about what to expect from both Judge and Trapper’s stories.
All in all, Below the Line was entertaining and enjoyable. It appears Judge will get his devil’s due next.
After finishing in the red I could not get to Below the line fast enough , with the little encounter that X and Hadley share at the end of book one in the devils due I was hungry for information and what history they share ( this can be read as a standalone but why would you want to miss book one ) . As always Chelsea Camaron brings in a burst of emotions that pool on the readers soul . The heroine and hero have a past and present full of suffering and loss they try to be each others protectors in their own little ways . Hadley has been through so much at a young age she showed lots of hope and wistfulness that turns into a grim adulthood , she is really brave with a big heart and would do anything for the ones she loves and trusts . I was in a state of melancholy when it came to X felt bad for all the things he lost everything he loved turned to dust and sorrow but he gets a glimpse of hope when he runs into a ghost from the past . Similar to the first story we got a little more about the devils due more so Trapper this author just keeps teasing us with his story that I’m highly anticipating but also kinda of afraid to experience .
