Eric Pate is used to making his own rules—as the director of the PARA Unit, he is the boss. Everyone rushes to obey his commands, and no one knows his secrets. No one ever gets too close to him. But then he meets her.A long awaited book.
Ella Lancaster is tired of being a prisoner. She escaped one hell just to find herself in another, but Eric doesn’t consider her containment with his agents as punishment. He actually thinks it is a form of protection. But Eric is so very wrong. Ella doesn’t need protecting, not for anyone or anything.
But when the PARA Unit comes under attack, Ella and Eric both find themselves battling a supernatural beast that they never expected. Forced to join forces, to make a deal, Ella and Eric are soon fighting side-by-side, and their attraction for each other can’t be contained or controlled. Hot. Wild. Consuming. Ella’s deal with her devil is soon taking over her life.
And as Eric falls deeper and deeper under the mysterious Ella’s spell, his legendary control begins to crack. The beast that he has kept chained so carefully inside rises to the surface. Unfortunately, when the devil loses his control…there is real hell to pay.
Ever since we met Eric, which was from the very beginning, I’ve always been curious about him. He always seemed so cold, in control, never gave anything away, in few words the perfect robot. As a director of the FBI’s para unit, Eric must be those things to survive. But even the coldest man has a weak spot.
Ella was just rescued from one prison to end up in another. It may be a luxurious one but a prison nonetheless. Ella has had enough. She can’t understand why they won’t let her leave, she hasn’t done anything. She is the victim. She has survived this long and she won’t let that arrogant director imprison her even if he thinks he is protecting her.
She knows he’s watching, he knows that he has to set her free but they just don’t care. Has the coldest man alive found his match?
Deal with the devil was the BEST. Eric was truly a devil even with Ella by his side. It wasn’t until the end that I got to trust and love him. Ella was alone for so long and when she met Eric, the real Eric and not the director of the para unit, she wanted to believe in him. No one knows what Eric really is. His agents believe he’s a human but if only they knew the truth. Eric is far from human and Ella is far from the ordinary vampire. The truth is about to be revealed and nobody is ready for what’s coming.
I really liked Ella and Eric together as a couple. They were so passionate, strong and brave.
What I didn’t like much was the diversity of the species that each book in the series has. We’ve seen everything so far: vamps, werewolves, hybrids, djinns and a couple other things. I was fine with all those mainly because they are the most known paranormals but also because I could believe in those beings. Deal with the devil packs a whole new species, one that we don’t see often, one that is unique. Still that didn’t bother me much. I just don’t think that a story has to have so many unique species to be amazing!
What I loved was the characters. All of them were great. We got to see Duncan and Holly, Olivia and Shane and Connor.
I don’t know if this is the end to the Purgatory series but I know that I would love to see more. I hope we do see more.
Deal with the devil was an incredible read full of action, suspense, many twists, romance and many hot paranormal creatures.
I highly recommend it!
