Dancing with the Devil (Ravens Ruin, #3)
By mariejames
This is the fourth and final book in this awesome series, and is finally TJ and Kaci’s story. As we already know from previous stories, TJ is the dark and twisted enforcer of the Ravens MC. Kaci is broken and makes some questionable decisions in her life, and she is haunted by demons as is TJ. No spoilers; this is a definite must read as you will not be disappointed! This is a well written phenomenal story, which is dark, twisted, intense, heartbreaking, which leads to an all round emotional roller coaster journey which had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read more form this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
Marie is amazing!
I loved T.J.’s story so much. I couldn’t read it fast enough and then didn’t want it to end. She did so well with his character, showed us that he has a very sweet, loving side. And it was not gory or gross with his knife fetish. 5 bright amazing stars for this read which is no surprise for her. She writes amazing wonderful books that you should binge read right now!
WOW! I am really sad to see this series end, however this book was phenomenal!!! TJ was amazing. This book was everything I wanted, I just LOVE TJ. TJ has met his match in Kaci, she is everything he has needed! This book was so exciting and action packed….hold on for the ride!!! This is a definite 5 star read!!!
TJ and Kaci just wow. I loved their story right from the beginning. There was just something about these two that not only has you on the edge of your seat but pulls at your heart strings. But of these people are broken. But perfect for each other . But it takes so much for them to realize it . Just a breath taking page turning non-stop action filled wonderfully written book I couldn’t stop reading . I loved the characters. The story line was amazing and the chemistry was off the charts. I absolutely love Marie as a writer and this book proves why.
Oh my goodness!! This series has been a trip! I’m devastated to see it come to an end but finally TJ gets his own book and man did this author give him his own twisted and depraved story. TJ and Kaci were two damaged souls, each had their own unique damage, but they just worked together. That ending!! I didn’t see that coming! This is a truly dark and powerful book. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next since this series came to an end. I highly recommend this book!
OMG, WOW. Just WOW. “Dancing With The Devil” is such a powerful book. You won’t believe it, but two broken lives can make one very whole life & MAKE IT work. It will take a lot of work on both of their parts but after reading about TJ & Kaci, you know it can be one. This was the most moving book of he whole sries so far. I am so into motorcycle genre books & boy this took me over the top. We all know from the first couple of book that TJ has problems. A different girl every night, loves to cut people up for fun & gets excited with their blood. Along comes Kaci,& from the very beginning, TJ knows that she is trouble with a C, & could even be his downfall, but try as he as hard as he can, he just can’t seem to stay away.
If you love MC books at all, you really need to get “Dancing with the Devil”. Personally though, I don’t see TJ as the devil. He is twisted yes, but so are a lot of us. I know for a fact that TJ is just wounded & needs somebody to love & take care of him. I think Kaci is the person to do that, but it needs to be give & take & there is no equal payments for give. Sometimes you may feel that you are always doing 100/ of the relationship. But be assured that your other half will feel like that eventually. Please pick p a copy of TJ’s story, I really think & very much hope that you do. CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS SERIES. Thank you Marie James.
I couldn’t put it down. I read it in less than 24 hrs & wanted more.
TJ and Kaci are a twisted match made in heaven. They balance each other out while driving each other crazy. Marie James has continued the Raven’s Ruin MC saga with another story that will suck you in and leave you wanting more.
I don’t even know where to start with this intense story! TJ and Kaci have been through things in life others can only imagine. Count your blessings because the devil knows no bounds. This book was raw, heart pounding and devastating but a necessary evil. These two need each other to find their own type of sanity as they deal with the aftermath of living through hell. They need pain like most need peace. Marie James took MC to a whole new level with this book and I could not put it down…gut-wrenching, shocking and scary.
I had not read any of Marie James books prior to starting the Ravens Ruin MC series. However, once I started I was instantly and totally hooked wanting to know more about Lynch, TJ, and Molly and how they handled adulthood after growing up with a coke addicted father that ran the MC. They were all subjected to things children should never have to do or see. Although each of the characters had a book that basically focused around them, Marie gave insight into the other siblings as well. The more I read the more I began to think that out of the three of them, TJ was the most screwed up by his childhood. While it’s apparent that he loves his sister Molly, he might not have blinked twice if he sliced his brother, Lynch, to shreds. Most of the time he seemed to be right on the edge of being psychotic and that the littlest thing could set him off. With the way Luck of the Devil ended I thought he may have finally gone off the deep end. Going into this book I wasn’t sure that there would be any way to show that TJ has a heart or was able to actually open it. I won’t give details or spoilers, just know that I loved this book. Bravo Marie James.
By far my favorite book in the series. These characters are complex, dynamic, infuriating, full of love and just overall amazing!! TJ and Kaci are like vodka and cranberry, peanut butter and nutella, Tim and Faith!!! Theyre both a little cray cray and a little broken, but they have big hearts and love hard. The road to get together was a little unconventional but 1000% worth it. The kink factor here is HIGH and the darkness surrounding this couple is mesmerizing. Kaci and TJ will make you wish this book never ended.
WOW! Just all the WOW! I am still, days after reading this, in awe of this amazing story! I am not even sure where to start with this review. I have been a huge fan of Marie James since I picked up the first book in her Cerberus series and have devoured every book since. She never fails to deliver a fantastic read full of sexy Alphas to swoon over. She just never disappoints.
I will admit that I was a bit reluctant to read this series as I was warned it was much darker than James’ usual. And the warning were exactly right, this one is dark and twisted but written so perfectly, I was completely enthralled. Dancing With The Devil grabbed me from the start and kept me hostage until the very last page. I couldn’t put it down.
Kaci and TJ had me in knots the whole story trying to figure out these two very complicated and broken characters. My heart broke and healed only to break again.
I loved this book! The characters of TJ and Kaci are so complex. The story line of this book is darker than some, but it is definitely an excellent example of a fantastic MC Romance. If you enjoy a darker, grittier book with several layers, you will love this one! Well done, Marie James! 5 Stars!
Blown out of the water with this read! TJ’s book, his story is dark and twisted but there is someone for him that is into his particular type of kink and twisted ways. Just as broken and TJ, Kaci is the other part of him. The Ying to his Yang. They are the perfect pair, even if they are a bit mental (LOL). This book is extremely well written and if you like dark reads, well this one is for you because TJ will deliver the goods on that topic. His “kink” started when he was very young, lying beneath his dead mother’s body as her blood flowed out of her and onto him. For such a young child to witness such brutality and to be covered in his own mother’s blood, it definitely did something to his mind and made him into the cold hearted, extremely dangerous and lethal man he is today. His forte’, knives! He sees beauty in blood, just as he did when he first laid eyes on a drugged up Kaci, who was about to be raped by some college boys. The blood covering her body and her body had him mesmerized and he thought that what he was looking at was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Her ivory skin covered in blood. She was beautiful to say the least, but the blood covering her..to him…made her even more beautiful.
Kaci, well she takes chances, likes the excitement, and when she and TJ come together, she find she likes his kind of “play”. Yep, these two were definitely made for each other.
It’s a sad goodbye to the MC as we finish with TJ’s story, but it is one ride that I am so glad I didn’t miss. The roads may have been rough, the men just as rough, but they were a joy to get to know and see where their particular ride led them. This was a great series and I hope that you give it a try. It isn’t what many MC series are like because these men are hard and cold, but their women love them just the way they are and accept them just the way they are.
I highly recommend this book and this series. Yes, you should start at the beginning because you will be lost if you don’t.
Title: Dancing with the Devil
Author: Marie James
Genre: Contemporary MC Romance
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
I knew it would take a girl just as broken as TJ to win his heart. Don’t read this as a standalone but technically the way it is written you could. I don’t recommend it. Start at the beginning because it really helps to understand everything TJ is talking about as well as the timeline.
The thing to really take from this deeply moving book is yes our histories, our lives make us but some things are just a part of us and get brought out. Not to mention guilt is a big B. Only you can let others control you. Especially mentally.
TJ and Kaci are deeply wounded, maybe more than Lynch and Zoe. The good thing…communication. Communicate your needs and explore them in a safe manner so you end up having a very healthy relationship.
Yeah, the guys from Raven’s Ruin MC are bad. They kill and do illegal things. They indulge in every sin but they live by their own code and have respect for their brothers and those who belong to the club. I really, really hope MJ visits some of the other boys of the club. Cause as Virus said having daddy issue was a prerequisite to be in the club. So they all got stories. And MJ writes them so well.
Downside…not enough knife play. Heard all about TJ and his knives and only got a few scenes with his knives. Boo.
TJ knows Kaci needs looking after, and while the last thing he would describe himself as is a white knight, he always makes sure Kaci is saved from whatever she has gotten herself into. Finally deciding enough is enough, he takes her and we get to see the TJ we’ve been waiting for. I loved how these two seemed so different yet perfect for each other. Another fab, but very dark read from Marie James.
Dark but interesting. Stay with it.
Kaci is trying to get herself killed. At least that’s what it seems with all of the risks she takes going to college parties and accepting drinks from unknown boys/men. But there’s a reason for that. Her tragic childhood and unfeeling parents have given her warped ideas and she’s just trying to get through life. Or is she?
TJ was raised in the MC by a father that was the devil himself. So when he sees an unconscious Kaci at a frat party, he can’t figure out why he can’t stop thinking about her. He’s even started to watch over her from afar. What is this that he’s feeling for an unknown woman?
It’s bittersweet that this is the final book in the Ravens Ruin series, but what a way to go out!! They say there is someone for everyone….that is so f*cking true. TJ is so broken, but Kaci is just as broken. Who knew their story could be this good and this hot!!
I think my favorite now is TJ….although I love them all! Thank you Marie James for another awesome series
A definite must read!!
OMG !! TJ and Kaci’s Story captivated me from the beginning and held me hostage. I was completely riveted to every single word. It’s darkness wrapped around me and feed my desire on so many levels. So intriguing that I couldn’t put it down until the very end. I was left with the hunger for more. Another absolutely stunning read by Marie James. I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves very dark romance.
WOW!! I loved TJ and Kaci!! I didn’t want to put this book down!! I’m sad to see this series end but glad we finally got TJ’s story!!
Dancing with the Devil is the fourth and final book in the Raven’s Ruin MC series. This is TJ’s story! This story is dark, and with all the twists and turns you can’t help but keep turning the pages to see what happens. Both the characters TJ and Kaci were so screwed up, that you can’t help but be drawn into them. Their chemistry was hot! Some scenes that play out might not be for everyone. I liked that we get a glimpse of past characters.
