<b><i>The Devil Aspect by Craig Russell was a very pleasant read for me for many reasons! I am so glad I got the chance to read it!

The Plot</i></b>

A terrifying novel set in Czechoslovakia in 1935, in which a brilliant young psychiatrist takes his new post at an asylum for the criminally insane that houses only six inmates–the country’s most depraved murderers–while, in Prague, a detective struggles to understand a brutal serial killer who has spread fear through the city, and who may have ties to the asylum.

Psychiatrist Victor is starting a new job in the Asylum where the Devil’s Six are – Czech Republic’s most dangerous murderers. Victor has a theory by the name of the Devil Aspect, where he believes that is manifested in these six murderers. He believes it comes out in certain circumstances, making these people commit crimes, but not being aware they have done it. Something similar to a split personality, but in this case, the murderers think that the Devil is next to them, and he is making them do all these things.

<b><i>My thoughts</i></b>

This book was such a pleasurable roller coaster. I wasn’t able to put it down and I read it in only a few days. The writing is unbelievable and I am going to be picking up other books from this author, for the sole reason of his writing. The Devil’s Aspect was so intriguing and it kept me on my toes at all times. I found it extremely enjoyable.

The blend of mythology, culture and psychology is perfectly put together, and having lived in the Balkan countries, I can easily relate to many of the culture aspects. It was perfectly described and I felt as if I am in 1935 together with the characters. The time and place are wonderfully written, with incredible accuracy.

The ending was the most pleasurable, and without spoiling anything, I will only say a few things… Be ready for everything to happen. This book has many twists and many scenes where dangerous things are happening. A lot of intensity which I devoured with great pleasure. If you are coming for an adventure, you will get even more that you bargained for.

<b><i>Proceed at your own risk! And good luck!

Thank you to the team at LoveReading UK and the author, Craig Russell, for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.</i></b>

I liked it a lot but felt there was a lot more they could have done with it. Now that New Dawn is out, I feel like they were holding back on purpose

This one packs a powerful punch and I experienced goosebumps as I read it. This is definitely a tale of young love and of the consequences when you play with fire.

An excellent addition to the franchise. With a surprise twist that I did not see coming at the end but I totally should have. This movie is a ton of fun to watch.

It was a bit of slow read, but I was able to connect with Jamie. He went through a lot in his lifetime and I like the way King wrapped up the story.

This is something I dealt with as a teen. It was very true to life. I think it's a great vehicle to start dialogue between parents and children or with teachers and students. (0 more)

I enjoyed it. It didn't blow my mind, but it was a good easy read. Alex made for a great bad boy character. I liked him very much. Brittany, however, not so much.

Liked it more than I expected in the end, except I wanted Laura to be a bit less nice/wet - and her son, Tony, but a bit annoying and mono-obsessive - probably ASD.....!
