Hey !

Whew, I did it! Devil's Deal is now in the hands of my amazing editor, who promised to get it back to me by June 14. That means the ARCs will likely go out around June 16, once I'm done with my final editing pass and format the ebook.

Now, if you received this email, this means you're on my permanent ARC Team and eligible to receive all ARC opportunities. You don't have to do anything, just watch your inbox and download the ARCs that interest you.

I know I keep saying this, but we're here to have fun!

About Devil's Deal

You can of course choose whether to download and review this ARC, and I'll do my best to make it easy for you to decide whether this book is for you.

So, here are the deets:

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance

Pairing: MF

Length: 160k words - over 500 pages

Series: This is book 1 in the series, the books have to be read in order. Book 2 will go out in March 2025. (I have tentatively planned 3 books for Jaga and the Devil.)

Cliffhanger: YES

Trigger Warnings: A full page of them available on my website here.

Fantasy World: Based on Slavic folklore.

Tropes: enemies-AND-lovers (it's complicated), stalking+seduction+corruption, cottage core witchcraft, special peen, supernatural age gap, size difference, dominant MMC, resisting FMC, slow burn with spice (again, it's complicated), murderous villain MMC who cuddles her through her period.

I don't know, I didn't actually think of any tropes while writing, I just let the story flow, and now I'm having a hard time fitting it into categories and labels. So maybe you can tell me what tropes you see there if you choose to read this book! That's a task for volunteers, of course.

And I have one more: if you notice anything in the book that should be added to the trigger warnings and isn't on the list yet, please, let me know, too! I did my best to list them all, but I keep thinking of new ones every day. Not to mention, I might not be sensitive to some potential triggers - which is why I need your help.

The worst ones are all listed, though, I think.

Let's have one more look at the cover, and the blurb is on Amazon here.

And let me just say how I LOVE this book. I'm itching to write book 2 already, though I still have a few other preorders to tackle first, but GOD did this story IGNITE me. It feels so weird to be done for now and back in the real world.

I think that's it for this update! I hope you're looking forward to Devil's Deal and I wish you a gorgeous rest of the week 🖤

Love,

Layla
