Jason Blackwell thought he had finally escaped his father’s world of magical medicine. All he wants is a normal life as a practicing veterinarian. No supernaturals. No unpredictable magic. Just a small town, regular animals, and walking away from his family secrets…and lies.
Until he’s woken in the night by Levi—an incubus attired in a fancy suit with a Southern drawl, too much charm, and an annoying tendency to always get his way. Jason is his only chance to find his missing brother.
And they have only two weeks to find him…or the demon dies. And finding Levi’s brother might just be the key to figuring out his own father’s disappearance.
Pulled back into the life he thought he had left behind forever, Jason now returns to the shadows and secrets of the supernatural world. Only this time, there’s no hiding from the truth about himself—and his family’s troubled legacy—or from the magnetic demon who pulls at his heart.
But when you make a bargain with an incubus, there is always a price to be paid. The only question is whether Jason and Levi will live long enough to regret it…
Infernal Hearts was a book with an enticing premise, which is what first drew me to request it. On the plus side, I liked both Jason and Levi as characters. Both grew during the course of the story and I was behind their romance. The plot was generally okay with a fun twist near the end. What didn't 100% work for me was the dialogue, which felt a bit stilted, and the world building which felt a bit like info dumping in places. Also, this book was sold as an enemies-to-lovers tale, but it was not really that. I have seen this tag used more and more lately for stories which, like this one, are really just two people who are a little antagonistic at first; they are not true 'enemies'. I do wish publishers would stop throwing this tag in when it doesn't really meet the definition. Still, despite those small complaints, this was a mostly entertaining read and offered a fresh take on paranormal romance, so I am giving it 3.5 stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
