Dee speaks three languages fluently, English, German and Dutch, and some other rudimentary. Although she started writing at an early age and two short stories were published during high school, one as a school project and one in a regional newsletter – Dee never dared of thinking to pursue a writing career. Until she started writing fanfiction and readers encouraged her to publish The Beast And Me as an ebook in May 2014. Dee worked at a publishing house at which she earned insight into the work, process, and production of publishing books.

However, in addition to that, she enjoys writing women who start off as weak and grow through their experiences in her books and end up being their own hero.
The question "Why do you want to be my friend?" is meant seriously. If you have more friends than books, or your answer doesn't tell me anything, I most likely won't accept the request.

I’m sooooo incredibly happy the authors took the direction they did while writing this story! The direction nailed all the elements for a fabulous read!
Colin is a host for a demon who enjoys pleasures of the flesh be it fighting or sex! It’s so hilarious how Rabisu, the demon, is constantly in competition with Colin, his host body.
Enters Jo or Joana. She is a complicated piece of work! Colin and Rab both want the same thing with and from Jo, but their execution is a bit sketchy.
This book is dark and should be considered horror. I did find humor in the story which made it tons more palatable!
This is my first PNR book by these two authors I have read a few of D S Wrights books and loved them. I have not read anything by Lilith Dark before but I will be sure to check out her books. You would never know this was written by two authors it flows so well. I really enjoyed the story different for me. However, if you like PNR I think you will enjoy this book. The story is about Jo coming home for the summer bumps into her teenage crush and her brother’s best friend Colin. Colin has not had an easy past and joined the army and he never looked back until now. He is home to sell his parents house that died in a car crash a few years before... There is a connection between Jo and Colin, which soon becomes clear after a one-night stand between the two of them. Colin is not the same as she remembers he is a lot quieter mysterious and keeps to himself. Jo sets out to help him thinking him suffering from PTSD after what he went through losing his team and being the only survivor... but what she discovers is a terrifying truth. I liked the writing, once I started I could not stop until I turned the last page.
Firstly this is a genre I usually give a wide berth to. I vaguely remember trying to read one years ago and just couldn’t get into it. So when I read the prologue of this I thought what have I let myself into. I decided I’d give the authors a go and I kept reading. Now here’s the shocker. I loved it. Although life got in the way and I had to put it down I looked forward to picking it back up.
After a car crash Colin left everything behind that he knew and joined the army. When he finds himself back in his family home he knows everything has changed. He knows he must stay away from Jo his childhoods friend little sister. But she’s not little anymore and she also wants to get to know Colin.
Nothing is as it seems in this story. I found myself wanting to read more and enjoying it. While reading it you wouldn’t believe it was two authors that wrote it as it flowed so well. After reading this the door is certainly open to more reads like this. Well done to the authors.
D. S Wrights. You have done it again. This is a brilliantly written story. Jo Mallory. strong beautiful and perfect. Her crush Colin. Her brothers friend from years ago. Their story is interwoven with Rabisu. His plans and Colin s do not have the same ending. Throw into that Jo's involvement. You get an explosive steamy story. Worth every one of the five stars.
A dark tale of Demon possession, lust, and violence. What could have been a long drawn out epic tale of Colin (the possessed), Rabisu (the demon), and Joan (the savior) turned into a quick wham bam thank you ma'am tale bursting at the seams with all the elements of a heart wrenching dark fantasy. DS Wrights and Lilith Dark command your attention every step of the way. If the story was a bit longer I would have possibly felt more connected to the characters. Or maybe the ending could have felt more satisfying. Instead I'm kinda of left wanting more. Maybe there's a sequel planned? Overall I'm delighted to have read Unseal Me. The imagary was easy to conjure. But that doesn't surprise me. These two know what they're doing. 4 stars (ARC) .
I’ve read a few of DS Wrights’ works, and this is the first of anything that I’ve read by Lilith Dark. It flowed so well that I honestly forgot it was two authors!
This book is about demonic possession (first time reading about that!) and there are some dark and gritty parts, but I also found some humor in how jealous the demon would get. One of the great things about DS Wrights is that I never know how her books will end and this one surprised me too. I was definitely not expecting what happened!
Go read it and find out what happens!
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.
So this is my first D.S. Wrights and Lilith Dark story and going into it I had an open mind thank goodness because again I had no idea what I was in for. This book is interesting in a wonderful another wordly way. Jo and Colin have known each other for ages but have not seen each other. So when they find themselves in a bar Jo notices that Colin is just a little different. This is a well-written story that I did not want to put down. I will diffidently read other stories from these authors. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.
A very intense book, not for the week of heart. Very well written..I couldn't put it down. I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Great characters that you will love or hate (depending on the character). I would definitely recommend this book!
I am not sure what I thought this book was going to be about. I thought of the Omen of something . I was way off. There is a great backstory here. It takes ONE to a whole new level. Definitely not a romance but intriguing nevertheless.
We have Joana who has returned home for the summer. While out with friends she see’s Colin her brothers best friend and the man she had a crush on growing up. He definitely isn't the Colin she remembers. Cocky Colin Thompson was always relaxed and at ease. War veteran Colin isn’t. He is on edge. Always ready to jump to action.
When Colin recognizes Jo, he is attracted to her but tries to put a damper on it, he doesn’t want wake "him". Jo Mallory is one of the few remnants of my old life. They end up having quite the steamy encounters. This is my worst nightmare, and all my sex-dreams come true.
When Jo goes to Colins house she walks in on something that will change everything. There are some unexpected and freaky twists that will have you wondering what you just read. This is my first read from these two authors. This is definitely different than what I'm used to reading, I wouldn’t mind reading more. This was a fast short read.

This book will grab you and not let you go until the very end. And the end you will not believe... Excellent storyline with sensual characters who will have you feeling hot and bothered right along with them. "Because my slumbering stowaway starts to stir, and that is never a good thing. He only wakes when he senses food that will sate his hunger." "It is so much harder to fight temptations when they are your fantasies." "When I approach her, grab her, kiss her, I can hear and feel Colin scream at me, hammering his mental fists against my presence from the backseat I have put him in." "I want to switch off my mind and reason just once and get what I have been after for years."
yes! oh man.. second book ive read from this author and she knocks it out of the park again!
dark, hot, thrilling, great supernatural read. just wow wow wow. i gotta admit, i was hoping for a different outcome at the end where joana is with the other guy but oh well. the story felt like it finished too soon and may need another chapter or two but still great. sigh... this gave me a book hangover
I really liked this book! It grabbed me and would not let go! I was not sure after the book 1 but these two authors have been redeemed and believe me when I say they are spectacular together! Oh if you want a very well written story that is one of the best this is THAT BOOK! I found this book to flow superbly and the play on words were set up to give the reader not only a visual perception but also one that can truly grab the reader and have them be empathetic to the characters and the twist and turns that this story takes throughout the telling and reaching the conclusion. It has the typical warning regarding TRIGGERS! Take it seriously. THEIR ARE MULTIPLE TRIGGERS! The writing was such that you will become embroiled within this story. That is the making of a great story. The connection that the reader develops is very owning and telling of the writers and the way they connect with the reader. That is the best I can describe what I felt when reading this book. Would I recommend this book? HECK YEAH! Get this series!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A romantic horror about Jo, home for the summer and Colin her crush ... and Rabisu. All three have their POVs, with their chemistry and character development incredibly well written. I was hooked early and couldn’t put this book down.
It was compelling and very well written story, with such smooth prose. Where or how these authors split or worked together completely undetectable by me -or I was so involved, I completely missed any queues. Fantastic.
Definitely would recommend to lovers of dark romance. However, sensitive readers should reader the authors warning.

I love the uniqueness. The inner dialogue was a lot. I understand why it had to be so much inner dialogue but it bores me at times. Trying to get threw to the good part.
