I picked this up because I saw it reced in one of my book groups and man I was not disappointed. It’s a dark, stalker romance with a twist. Super addicting and might leave you a bit speechless. Very quick and easily binge able.
Wow what amazing dark read that had a surprising ending. This book is a fast pace book that will have you on a heart beating read that will have you having problems putting down this read. Wow this was a very exciting adventure.
You got me, Crimson Syn! You got me good. For anyone who picks this book up, I highly suggest going in blind. It’s dark and twisted and will keep you guessing until the end. Lilith attracts almost obsessive attention and she likes it. She doesn’t want to but she just can’t help herself. Then there’s Adrien, who wants to give her everything she needs and even things she doesn’t know she needs. This story is sexy and intense and not to be missed.
Oh man, is this book twisted! I knew how it would end so there wasn’t any kind of surprises for me but I did enjoy the ride and seeing it unfold. Narration was done extremely well.
One fateful attack in the dark, changed Lilith life forever. The stranger haunts her. she looks for him in the shadows, making sure she is home by dark.
Damien, came into her.life. Encouraging her to overcome her fears . but he is not without demons from his past.
What a suspenseful, dark erotic psychological story that had me on the edge of my seat.

I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review
This was a sinfully delicious dark romance read that delivers! Not for the faint of heart, the suspense is thrilling and danger heats up as Lilith tries to continue with her life after a dark time. Adrien arrives in her life when she needed someone, but not all is what it seems as pleasure unfolds a dark side that she can no longer hide. This was a definite must read that was naughty, surprise galore and such steamy loving that it doesn’t not disappoint.
A short, dark read with lots of twists and turns. You need to read it!!!
Adrien and Lilith’s story was filled with secrets, lies that will have you flip to the next page to see what will happen next. Thats it i dont do spoilers so ONE-CLICK NOW I definitely recommend, Another great story Crimson
OMG!!!! … That was totally unexpected!!! But somehow I knew I just knew… Wow Crimson you’ve done it again. Perfectly calculated and exceptionally well written. This book had me from start to finish. I can’t elaborate on anything but I will say this book is by far the best to date. Plots, twists and turns it will come at you like a damn tornado and sweep you up and turn you inside out. PHENOMENAL is what it is . Devious Heart is exactly that I’m blown away… 5 stars does not give this book justice. With that being said alot of people may find this book full of triggers which in some way it has but I promise you it’s all worth it. Don’t waste anytime buy this bad boy you won’t be sorry
Voluntarily Reviewed an Advanced Copy
This is my first read from author Crimson Syn and this book definitely put my attention on this author.
Devious Heart focuses on the main characters Lilith who after going through a *rough experience* is a shell of her former lively self. She ends up meeting with Adrien who is a CEO and hires her as his personal assistant. Through her developing relationship with Adrien, we see Lilith becoming more trustful and lively again.
This book included some dark twists and turns, keeping the reader hooked and intrigued with the story and characters.
New to me author, the cover is what pulled me to the book! True to the nature of the book it was definitely I was looking for!! The twist in the book is definitely a devious heart, it was erotic and dark!!
Highly recommended in my book!!
I have to say that this was a departure from what I’m used to from this author. I thought I knew what was going to happen but the twist was really eye opening for me. The title of the book is quite appropriate.
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!! I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING!! Devoius Heart by Crimson Syn Blew me Away!! Crimson is a New Author for me and She Had me Intrigued from the Very Beginning of the Book! This is a Very Twisted, Dark and Calculated Suspenseful thriller of Epic proportions! Just when you Think you figured it Out….BAM!! Nope!!
You Definitely Must Read DEVIOUS HEART with its Dark and Entertaining secrets. It will have your Jaw Dropping at the Very End!!
This book had me guessing from the beginning. I kind of saw how it was coming, but I didn’t think it’d be what I thought. He’s possessive and rough. She’s broke and scared. Good, dark read.
Wow is all I can say. This is a short and dark romance. Crimson Syn did a great job with all with all the twist and turns she put in this book. You can’t help falling in love with the characters. Devious hearts will keep you on the edge of your seat. And the ending will blow you away.
This book is a complete mind-f***. While I enjoyed the twists and turns to this fast-paced story, the beginning threw me for a loop. I am one to always give a book a fair chance and I am glad I did. You can’t help but feel for the heroine in the story. The hero is just what you would want after an awful experience. The story’s plot is something that was a bit, wow and yet I am pleasantly surprised with the overall feeling I had towards it. Way to go!
For me this doesn’t match up to Crimson Syn’s usual standard. It’s a quick easy read and you can easily understand why Lilith changed from being a carefree, happy young women into the shy, scared and frightened girl. However, almost from the moment Adrien came into the story I knew he was – it just amazed me that Lilith never put two and two together. This it not light reading by any definition of the word and does contain triggers which some may find disturbing.
Ultimate twist
Not my normal read for sure. This is a story of obsession to a new level. Lilith is taken advantage of and now she has to recover from that experience. Adien is someone who she finally feels safe with. However, you won’t see the ending coming for sure. It is a good read but it is very dark and has things which might trigger some readers for sure. I almost stopped reading during first chapter but glad I didn’t.
Although this book is a short read it is full of suspense, drama, twists, turns and a dark romance. Once you start reading it you may just find it difficult to put down till you have finished it. I found mt self-sitting on the edge of the seat more than once as I read this. There is dubious consent issues and a rape scene, so you have been warned if these are going to be an issue for you. The fun part of this book is that just when you assume you have it all sorted the author throws in anther twists! Really great writing.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This story is a dark and twisted read that isn’t for the faint of heart. The writing is awesome and will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The ending will have you saying WTF and you will probably have a book hangover for several days, but it is so worth it!! Do not miss out on this book!
