PERICULUM (DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND #1) by Natalie Bennett: Arc Review

Periculum by Natalie Bennett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Fuck your demons before they fuck you.”

Give me a mindf*@k anytime, and I'll be the happiest reader! When it comes to Mrs Bennett's book, I want to go in completely blind. Ni blurb, no previous reviews. To be surprised by the new atmosphere she created is phenomenal, and Periculum's is just incredible. I enjoyed so much diving into this ultra dark, gruesome, and utterly worrisome ambience, where the mysteries are thick and kept me wondering all along.

"I was the cat curiosity couldn’t kill, eager to explore all his hidden depths."

I'm still reeling from this first installment that I devoured in one setting. From cover to cover, Lana and Ciaran's (and the other's) maddening journey gripped me to no end. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out the next horror step they'd be subjected to. I needed to know if my theories where right (and...yes, I wasn't too far).

The scorching hot chemistry between the main characters reached new highs while the storyline kept playing with the reader's sanity. Wow, what an adrenaline rush! 

In the Devil's Playground, I felt as much a puppet as Lana did, and it felt so good! I laughed, I cringed, and fanned myself - the perfect cocktail for a great reading time.

"Sooner rather than later, I’ll have you unable to speak at all. You’ll be to busy weeping in a mess of blood and come.”

I recommend this book to readers who like to be kept on pins and needles, I promise you won't be disappointed. My stomach is still in knots from the ending, but ....Shh...I can't wait for the uckily for me, the next opus, Maleficium is just around the corner! *Claps excitedly*!


"Psycho versus psycho. Let’s see how vicious she can be."

I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK. THANK YOU!!!
