Devilry
Monster. Demon. Killer.
Adrianna has been called all of the above and worse. A fey-born succubus able to drain a person's life force with a single touch, her time in the human world has been met with fear and hatred, and now, as the King's Assassin, she's given a task that would force her to break a promise to the only person who ever showed her true compassion.
One heart. That's all the King asks. It shouldn't be so difficult. It's not going to be her first kill. But when her mark is the son of the woman who took her in when her mother died, she's left conflicted. Tracking the Prince down is simple. Her feelings when she finds him make doing what she has to impossible in more ways than one.
The heart of a vampire may not beat, but the moment she meets her Prince and his men she knows that she can't go on any longer as a killer. Opening her heart up to seven vampires, she begins to realize what she's been missing living amongst humans her whole adult life.
It might just be the happy ever after she never thought she'd get, but if she doesn't bring back what the King asked for, there's going to be hell to pay...
Devilry is a supernaturally twisted reverse harem version of the classic fairy tale Snow White. One click today for a suspenseful and steamy harem ever after.

Picked for cover love. A twist on Snow White with the fmc as the huntswoman/assassin, the prince and his fellow six vampires. Fast paced with plenty of sex. Pretty much insta love and lust all round and bonding. The ending felt a little rushed and the fmc was a bit arrogant with her monologues. Cas, Anton and the sister were seriously overpowered. Favourite character was Cassius.

DNF at 14%
I normally don’t leave reviews because some people can be incredibly biased but this book was just terrible. The synopsis really interested me, but in all honesty that was the best part of the whole thing. At first, it seemed to be going in a rather great direction but at 14% it absolutely tanked. A virgin succubus assassin whose touch kills any living being is sent to kill the prince by the evil king, okay cool. Has never had a conversation with said prince and just met his friend, then Is suddenly losing her virginity in a field after the prince was laying in a glass coffin. I’m assuming that’s supposed to be the whole snow white retelling part? It felt like I was missing a whole books worth of information and story line in between. This may as well have been a 50page erotica meant to just detail sex, which was subpar at best.
I wish the author best of luck and hope that they improve their writing because I’m unsurprised that this book has less than 100 reviews on Goodreads and only 17 on Amazon. Those that 5star’d this, you’re the reason why people go into a book with high expectations when it’s in reality only worth 1. Do better, be honest.

A great twist to a classic story
This book was amazing in it's new take on a classic story. It brings snow white and her seven dwarfs into a new and hotter setting of big strong sexy vampires.
In this story we see her being told to kill the queens son Ben, who we later find out lots more about why she is tasked with his death.
Once she finds him with the help of a sexy man on a horse named death. We see this tale grow to it's full potential to suck you into its depths until the end. To then leave you with a great sweet ending.

Decent erotica read.
Only complaint was the storyline was so good for the first 3/4 I was disappointed at how rushed the end was.
Would’ve liked more time for the romance to blossom (yes, yes- fey, vampires and magic, but it would’ve been nicer) and a less rushed pace for the last quarter of the book.
Plenty of sex scenes, but my judgement is usually “could this book work without the sex” (is the plot good- not just a bunch of set scenes with flimsy writing in between, KWIM?) and the answer is yes.

I absolutely loved this book! The Snow White naughty retelling is a wonderfully clever, engrossing, sexy, relatable, fun, yummy fantasy! The action never stops. It's a fantastic dark ride roller coaster full of twists, turns, plummets, and magical, beautiful adventures. The romance is so real! Be prepared for heart fluttering and soaring, cheering on the heroin and falling in love with her mates. The villains are truly the worst and the good guys are the yummy naughty best! I love this writer! A couple of missing edits in some sentences but not detracting from the amazing storytelling.

Everything I enjoy in a good story!
“Devilry” is a dark and twisted reimagining of Snow White, complete with a prince, a princess, and an evil sorcerer, who is also the king. This tale has action, drama, danger, betrayal, suspense, and enough twists to keep you entertained to the last page. The main characters are strong, intense, and well-defined with an enticing sexual attraction. The scenes are vivid and exciting. This is definitely a fairytale to remember

This was a fascinating twist on the Snow White fairy tale. The seven dwarves as seven vampires, a fey assassin as a kick-ass Snow White, and lots of steamy sex! What other fairy tales can be reimagined this way?

I thought this was a great twisted version of the fairytale classic Snow White. The story was well written with likable characters. From the start I was pulled in and my interest kept throughout. I would recommend reading this story.

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Romy Lockhart; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

This is the story of Adrianna and her seven vampires. There are so many twists and turns, action and suspense in this story I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed this re telling of Snow White in the most delicious way. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I don’t usually take a chance on fairytale re-telling stories but chose to read this book based on the interesting premise. I loved the twists and fully embraced the story. I was enthralled by the imaginative re-telling. I loved the characters and the steamy scenes. Great storytelling

brilliant
This was a really enjoyable take on a fairytale full of hot Vampires, a lonely princess and an evil King.
A fun read with insta fortolled love and lots and lots of steam and just enough intrigue and action to keep it interesting.

No good story or character building. Just a fast story with lots of sex scenes.
