Release Blitz: Devil of Dublin by BB Easton

 

Devil of Dublin by BB Easton is now live!

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix Original series Sex/Life) comes a dark mafia romance steeped in Irish folklore.

I can't remember anymore if my grandfather's eyes were blue or green, but I'll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm--shy fairies who liked to eat tea biscuits, cruel witches who liked to eat children, a moody lake spirit with a taste for expensive gifts.

As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen. Kellen wasn't evil. He was kind, and beautiful, and special, and hurting. He was my friend. And with every summer I spent stolen away with him in those enchanted woods, he grew to become so much more.

But when I return to Glenshire as an adult, grieving and engaged to someone else, all those legends quickly morph into nightmares.

My grandfather had been right about everything, especially the boy.

If only I had listened.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Devil of Dublin is intended for mature audiences who enjoy extremely dark subject matter, high emotional intensity, explicit adult content, graphic violence, heart-pounding suspense, fairy-tale worthy love, and gorgeous Irish scenery. If that sounds like you, then welcome to Glenshire! If you're unsure, please review the comprehensive content warning on my website before reading.


If there was ever a book worthy of O.M.G. this book would be it! This author has woven a tale that combines mythical fantasy and folklore with heartbreaking reality and created an angst-filled love story that is STILL with me days and weeks after reading it.

We have young Darby who is a free spirit. She is adorable and loving and open and whimsical and falls for the tale your grandfather spins for her of the Irish woods.

Then, we have Kellen, a young, silent, troubled boy who is lonely and downtrodden and begins to believe the hateful words spoken of him by the townsfolk.

Young Darby befriends young Kellen and she is able to do enough talking for the both of them. Unbeknownst to her (she believes him to be a fairy creature of sorts), Kellen is a real boy who has been dealt a pretty crappy hand in life. But these two young souls connect on a level even they don't even know or understand. Something draws them together with each visit from young Darby. Every year, she visits her fairy Kellen until, one year, her visits pause. Years go by before her next visit. In the years that have ensued, each of our main characters have endured troubles no young person should have to.

The "adult audiences" warning should be headed because topics discussed and endured are those no one should have to suffer, but these two shine through their obstacles. And this author does an outstanding job of triggering the emotions of the reader as we are pulled into this story of love and endurance, of survival and overcoming roadblocks and hatred.

I can't do this book justice with my review. I just know that anyone who reads this will not be disappointed and will fall in love with Kellen and Darby. 5 stars is not enough. And this story will never leave me. Well done!

I love fairytales, dark mafia and second chance romances…. It’s like, almost, all my favorites wrapped up in one.

Our anti-hero Kellen was always told he was the son of the devil. His childhood was dark and troubling and the only bright spot was meeting Darby. She was his spot of sunshine… of Heaven. For years they’d meet every summer in the magical woods behind her grandfather’s house… until she stopped coming. But Kellen meet back up when they are older and it’s kismet. Only many things stand in their way.

I liked this story for the most part. It took many twists and turns that I did not see coming. Both Kellen and Darby had troubled pasts, especially for Darby in the years they didn’t see each other. Sometimes their actions were over the top but the plot pulls you along and you find yourself turning the pages faster. So what happens? You’ll have to one-click to find out.



Wall Street Journal bestselling author BB Easton lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her long-suffering husband, Ken, and two adorable children. A few years ago, she quit her job as a school psychologist to write books about her punk rock past and deviant sexual history full-time. Ken wasn’t super excited about that, but now that he’s appeared in three of her books and inspired a TV show character, he’s incredibly supportive.

BB’s debut memoir, 44 Chapters About 4 Men, went on to inspire the Netflix original series, Sex/Life, which was viewed by 67 million households worldwide within the first month making it the 3rd most-watched Netflix original series of all time. Because she had so much fun writing 44 Chapters, BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books, one for each man in her memoir—Skin, Speed, Star, and Suit.

The Rain Trilogy—a dark, immersive, end-of-the-world romance—was BB’s first work of fiction. Or at least, that’s what she thought when she wrote it in 2019. Then, 2020 hit, and all of her dystopian plot points started coming true. Hoping to fix everything, BB returned with a fun, feel-good romantic comedy called Group Therapy, but alas, the world is still on fire … and so is BB’s desire to write intense, us-against-the-world romances. Her next release, Devil of Dublin, is a dark Irish mafia romance steeped in folklore and family secrets.
