Revenge tastes best when served cold – or is it?
Hatred and need for vengeance can darken and destroy even the best of hearts. Damon is set to get his revenge no matter the consequences and is ready to use all means to achieve his goal. He is ready to use only person left on this World that is still loving him even if it is from afar. Even if she thinks he’s dead. Well for him it’s not vengeance it is retribution he is going to exact.
This was fantastic, full of action, mystery and unsaid truths, dark story of a boy who once lost everything. Now as a man he is ready to fight back and get his justice. Is there his true self underneath all the pain and hatred. Are there still feelings toward his childhood friend? Will his stone cold heart be brought to light again by Victoria?
I was immersed by the story line, by the words used by the author to tell this story. It is fantastic read with thought through plot. I was reading every chapter with my heart beating hard in my chest, couldn’t wait for next events to come. Now I’m waiting impatiently for the second part and conclusion of the story. The ending left me shattered and I’m craving more.

This is book 1 in the Deviant series and it features Damon and Victoria. Let’s just start out with the INSANE cliffhanger! The build up and execution was excellent. The romance was sizzling. So much of what happened was expected but unexpected at same time. I really didn’t give Damon enough credit. He is tough and determined.
I can’t wait for book two! I NEED to know what happens.
Ok, I knew this would end in a cliffhanger but I was totally unprepared for the actual end. Darn you Angela Snyder, I cannot wait to read the rest of Victoria and Damon’s Story! The story of these two will quickly suck you in, churn you around and leave you speechless. Both of these characters grew up so differently but always thinking of each other. Why and what they each remembered will be left for you to read but it is definitely a page turning, devious story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I am eagerly looking forward to book two and hope I don’t have to wait too long!
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
I really liked this one. I I have read many of mafia books and this was a great fast read. I read it in one sitting once I started I just couldn’t put it down. From the very beginning I was hooked and I couldn’t wait to see what happened with Damien and Victoria. While this book ends in a bit of a cliffhanger we do get the ending to this part of the story but we don’t know where Damien and in Victoria will end up. and while this is a bit of a Mafia book it is not the main focus of the story it’s definitely all about Damian and Victoria.
I loved this book, the characters feel real as if you are there. I love the mafia books, the thrill the action you get when reading. Damon (Arlo) is set on revenge after his best friends dad killed his family. He sets his revenge watching from the sidelines. Victoria is his only hope to get close to her father. The darkness, the heat from the romance kept me awake after reading this book. I just can’t wait to read the next one.
Thank you for this opportunity to review your book it was great.

I read Devious by Angela Snyder as part of the Outlaws Wanted Anthology. It’s so good! A twisty story about a man’s revenge for his father’s murder and his mother and sister being kidnapped! Arlo was a was a child when this happened but he never forgot who did this…the father of the girl that he loved. Now he’s a man and he’s changed his identity and plans to use that girl who is now a young woman to exact his revenge. Victoria never asked to be born the daughter of a notorious mob boss. She’s led a lonely life ever since the death of her mother then the deaths of the family next door in a mysterious fire. She lives a privileged life but she would give it all up to live a real life. When she meets a handsome stranger at a charity event she’s immediately smitten. Damon is everything that she wants in a man…or is he what he appears to be? Told from dual POV and it’s a steamy, intriguing ride! I cannot tell you any more about their story without giving away the plot and I won’t do that! Pick it up now!
Woah! From the beginning this story grabbed me by the throat! I need more. This story did end in a cliffhanger… and I am struggling to maintain composure. Victoria is the sweet and innocent daughter of a mafia boss and gets caught in the middle of a fight that she had no clue even existed. She knew her father had enemies, she just didn’t know that she had gotten involved with one of them…. or why they were enemies! Caught in the middle and confused she does the only thing she can think of and that is to keep the peace and attempt to save everyone involved. And then …….. THE CLIFFHANGER! I have to know what happens next! Totally worth all 5 stars. I cannot wait to see get to the rest.
Wish I could give this read more stars definitely worth more.
This is the start of Damon revenge on Victoria family for something
her father done to his family when he was 10 years old.
After Victoria watched the House next door go up in flames and she thought
she lost her best friend Arlo she was sent off to boarding schools.
When she returns to her home town she met Damon and she had no idea it was
her friend from childhood Arlo he was out for revenge against her father for destroying
his family when he was a kid.
This is quite a dark read that finishes up on a cliffhanger.
If you want to no how Damon plans his revenge you are going to have to read this book.

Well written very entertaining read. Couldn’t put it down until I finished it. My only regret was that it is left with a cliffhanger. I prefer standalones. Needless to say this was still well worth reading.

I was pleasantly surprised reading this book. Not many romance authors can create depth to the characters in such a short read. This author has done so. The reader knows just enough background to become engaged and root for the characters. I do believe in childhood crushes quickly manifesting into full on love as adults- it happens in real life as well.

4 1/2 Stars
So yes, I was warned that this ended in a cliffhanger. The blurb was so interesting and I couldn’t resist even though I hate cliffys!
Victoria is the innocent in this story. Used as a pawn between Damon, the man of her dreams, and her evil, murderous father.
Damon had revenge and retribution in his mind and heart. He never meant to fall for his target’s daughter. Victoria was a means to get to Ciccone, her evil father.
This was a well-written, fast paced, intense, and suspenseful romance.
The intimate scenes were graphic, raw, and passionately written. My heart broke when Victoria found out about Damon’s deceptions and her father’s participation in the death and sex trafficking of his family.
The cliffy was a doozy!! I was thinking “He DID NOT just do that!!!?” I can’t wait to find out what happens with Damon and Victoria

Damon is out for revenge and doesn’t care what he has to do he will do it and end it all. Victoria hasn’t had a good life like people think. On the inside she’s dying slowly just missing her mom and the one guy that had her heart. Now this story is intense, twisted and definitely a page turner. I can’t wait for book 2! No spoilers you like revenge books this is one you definitely can’t pass up! 5/5 stars
