The City of Sin holds more than secrets.
He doesnโt remember me.
But, I remember him.
The mysterious and brooding Jay McCall.
His touch. His kiss. His hands on me.
Itโs burned into my mind.
The one incredible night we shared.
But, that was before…
Before I lost my brother.
Before grief held me hostage.
Heโs back, and it has nothing and everything to do with me.
The secrets heโs keeping are tangled with my brotherโs death.
My heart. My body.
At war over a man I barely know.
A man who knows the truth.
He wants me to trust him.
I want to.
But to survive in a place where demons hide,
I must trust no one… not even myself.

โ The City of Sin holds more than just secrets…โ
With an absent father and a mother that was rarely around Blaise Palmer didn’t have much of a family growing up.ย But she did have her best friend, her brother Blake. Ever since they were kids Blake has been the one to take care of Blaise, no matter the cost he made sure she was taken care of the best he could.
Even making her a little pseudo family when he brought his best friends Joey, Seth, Stone, and Antonio into their fold.ย They all grew up together and were as close to family as they could be.
Blaise and Blake had big plans. Once she finished school they were going to leave their small town and start a new life in Vegas. Every summer the boys would go to Vegas and work small jobs for quick cash and they all had big plans for life what life would be like there.
โ Blaise, you were his first and last thought always.โ
But everything changes when Blake dies suddenly in a tragic car accident. Blaise’s life spins out of control after the loss of her brother.
Not only has she lost her brother but they guys are all dealing with their own grief and aren’t around when she needs them the most.
The night of Blake’s funeral Blaise just needs to lose herself and she does, in an explosive one night stand in the bathroom of the bar with a sexy stranger.
But six months later when that same mysterious one-night stand stranger shows back up Blaise’s world spins out of control all over again.
That stranger turns out to be Detective Jay McCall, and he has evidence that Blake’s accident wasn’t an accident after all.
With all the mystery surrounding Blake’s death, everyone Blaise cares about is a suspect and she has no idea who to trust.
Jay, the newcomer who claims to have known Blake, OR, the four boys that she has grown up with and considers family?
โ Who is the enemy and who is on my side? I’m on my own and I feel like I’m being pulled in half between my past and my future.โ
You’ll have to read Where Demons Hide to find out what happens!
Gahhh I am trying so hard not to give away and spoilers! Where Demons Hide is one of those heart-stopping, jaw dropping reads full of suspense that you need to go in blind and reveal the secrets yourself. I always try and play Detective when I read romantic suspense stories like this one and most of the time, I can figure out who to trust and who not to fairly quickly. HA! Up until the very end, I was STILL flip-flopping back and forth on who I thought was trustworthy and who wasn’t.
โ Trust no one. Not even the ones you feel most loyal to.โ
I loved seeing Trent again! If you have read A.M. Brooks debut Hearts Duet then you’ll know who I’m talking about. We got a little more of what was going on with him during the end of Hearts & Flowers and I am crossing my fingers AND my toes that his story is up next because I am DYING for it!
โ Weโre in deep, and I know I wonโt survive if I lose him.โ
I spent the better half of this book just wanting to comfort Blaise. She had such a shitty childhood, and then to lose the one person that she has ever been able to rely on… my heart broke for her. But she was strong, and no matter what she refused to back down until she got answers about what really happened to her brother.
โ There is a thin line between love and hate. He took the knife of betrayal and cut right through it.โ
I wasn’t sure about Jay at first. He kind of came out of nowhere and like Blaise I wasn’t sure if he could be trusted or not. He was so secretive and some of the things he did made it really hard to believe that he was a good guy. But needless to say, I slowly but surely warmed up to him. Even though there were moments I wanted to slap him in the back of the head because if he had just told Blaise this or that, she wouldn’t have had to second guess him. I loved watching everything unfold though, and finding out just how much he cared for Blaise, and that he’s cared about her much longer then Blaise is even aware of. *Sigh* yeah, I still fell for Jay McCall.
โ Iโd die if anything happened to you. I donโt think you fully understand the magnitude of how I feel about you. Youโre mine and I canโt lose you.โ
Blaise and Jay had sparks flying from my Kindle! Jay was a very alpha type guy and even though Blaise was strong-willed and defied him at every turn, the one place she willingly submitted to him was in the bedroom and my oh my… even with all the angst and mystery, this one is scorching hot! From the very first night when they met in that bar the chemistry was explosive between Jay and Blaise. But Blaise is so confused because of all the secrets surrounding Blake’s death that she pushes while Jay continues to pull. I loved the back and forth between them.
That ending… I won’t give away any spoilers but WOW! I just did NOT see it coming. AT. ALL. Like I said, I continued trying to unravel the mystery up until the very end.
โ My eyes are now open to the demons hiding in plain sight.โ
A.M. Brooks is a new author, but she’s already proving herself to be a brilliant one. I loved her new adult, Hearts Duet. But she blew me away with Where Demons Hide. The way she wrote the emotions that Blaise goes through after the loss of her brother… beautifully written. I ALMOST gave this one four in a half stars instead of five but in the end, decided it deserved its full five-star rating. That was ONLY because I really, REALLY, would have liked to have Jay’s point of view as well. BUT I understand that to keep the suspense of the story going, the author couldn’t really give us his POV. Brooks knew what she was doing with this one.
If you like your romance filled with twists and turns, suspense and a little murder and betrayal, then I highly recommend checking out Where Demons Hide, MUST READ!!!

โSin City,โ I whispered when the neon lights from strip were starting to glow in the early evening dusk and could be seen from my small vantage point in the back.
โWhere demons hide.โ Antonio wags his brows at me, a look of excitement and knowing crosses his face. My breath catches and I play it off quickly like his words donโt send shivers down my spine.
โWhere millionaires fall and the underdog can become someone.โ Joe adds from the front seat, before rolling down his window and letting his hand coast through the air.
โWhere the depraved can be left in peace while the weak minded are held accountable.โ Stone joins their twisted word game. I fight the urge to roll my eyes, not fully understanding where the conversation is going. Believing they sound like coked up frat boys on their first weekend of rush at college, only theyโve already been graduated for fifteen years, and now theyโre the creepy guys at the bar. Seriously?
โEr,โ I hesitate. โAre we staying at this hotel, too, or just working?โ Itโs been a few years since Iโve been on a Vegas run and even then I never had a hand in the actual planning. The guys had the jobs lined up, and Blake took care of the hotel, sometimes plural, that we stayed at.
โYup,โ Antonio replies, using his index finger to poke my forehead. โNo worries B, itโs all taken care of.โ
โThings are going to seem a little different this time, Blaisey.โ Joe warns me, turning in his seat to meet my eyes. โWeโre pretty well known in these parts.โ
โWhat he means to say, โ Stone interjects, his deep black eyes finding mine in the rearview mirror. โIs itโs less manual labor now. And we usually celebrate at the club afterwards these days.โ
โIn style.โ Joe throws in there, smirking proudly.
