I was fortune enough to be a Beta reader for this book. And I am so glad I got to read it first because I can tell you all how amazing it is! If you are a fan of EIT you will love The Devil's Metal. I won't give away too many details because I don't want to spoil the awesomeness that is this story, but I will share some highlights.

First of all, holy fuck Karina Halle is brilliant. Not only are the characters so real and likable, especially Dawn, but the plot moves so well I forgot I was reading. It felt like a movie being played out in my mind. Vivid and detailed and totally intriguing.

Dawn is such a great character. Strong and determined but also a little young and impressionable. I like her dynamic with Sage and how their relationship grows and changes throughout the book. And the sex? Hoo boy! HOT! Dawn has her typical "rock band" experiences but still manages to keep her head and do her job amongst the young and sexy rock stars. A true feat in my opinion.

The 70's vibe came through loud and clear and there were great snippets of life back then, very authentic. The author definitely did her research. And the rock side of the story was fun! 70's rock is not really my favorite genre but the depth of knowledge about the music, the bands, the feelings of that time in history were so real I felt like I was experiencing the concerts and backstage antics for myself.

The horror aspect was really good and mixed in well with the story. There were parts when I was glad all the lights were on and I was safely inside my house. This book will most likely scare your socks off.

Overall, if you are a fan of EIT you will love this book. It has incredible depth and the characters come to life in such a way you have deep feelings for all of them, whether bad or good. The horror quotient is high and the plot has enough twists to keep you wondering what will happen next. I highly recommend it!
