Jazz will stop at nothing to save her brother. Their foster mother, Carol, has always been fanatical, but with Jazz grown up and out of the house, Carol takes a dangerous turn that threatens thirteen-year-old Joaquin’s life. Over and over, child services fails to intervene, and Joaquin is running out of time. Then Jazz gets a blocked call from someone offering a solution.

There are others like her—people the law has failed. They’ve formed an underground network of “helpers,” each agreeing to eliminate the abuser of another. They’re taking back their power and leaving a trail of bodies throughout Los Angeles—dubbed the Blackbird Killings. If Jazz joins them, they’ll take care of Carol for good. All she has to do is kill a stranger. (amazon.com)

A compelling and jaw-dropping mystery thriller – I’m having a hard time putting it down.

Welcome to a world like no other! Philip is a good boy, a really good boy, who accidentally gets sent to Hell to become the Devil’s heir. The Devil, Lucifer, is dying and desperately in need of a successor, but there’s been a mistake and Philip is the wrong boy. Lucifer has no other choice than to begin the difficult task of training Philip in the ways of evil. Philip is terrible at being bad, but when he falls in love with the she-devil Satina and experiences the powerful forces of love and jealousy, the task becomes much easier. Philip finds both friends and enemies in this odd, gloomy underworld–but who can he trust, when he discovers an evil-minded plot against the dark throne? (amazon.com)

This YA Fantasy will also appeal to adults. It’s a satirical look at the nature of sin and redemption. A very good read!

    The Kill Club sounds like a compelling thriller, might add it to my neverending thriller TBR. My week consisted of some middle of the road thrillers, so not great haha. I hope the coming week will bring us some great reads 🙂

      I’m waiting on the Novella but I can honestly say that the Devil’s Apprentice and The Kill Club are both 5 star reads – very different, but totally worth the read❤️

    The Kill Club sounds great! I am so happy I came across your blog. I thought I would recommend a psychological thriller I just read (I am going out on a limb here but I really think you will enjoy it!) It’s called “Ain’t No Messiah” by Mark Tullius(https://www.marktullius.com). The main character, Joshua, has grown up being told that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ. Having said that, he clearly lives with an extremely messed up and abusive family, as well as a cult-like over-the-top church. Joshua is desperately trying to figure out who he really is and escape from his psychologically scarring/damaging situation.This book is dark, twisted, unique and my book club loved it. I am a huge fan of Chuck Palahniuk and Stephen King and this author definitely has a similar disturbing point of view. I really hope you will check it out.
