The Devils' Cradle by Darcy Daniel Review


On Australia’s island state, more than one species of Tasmanian Devil exists...

Beneath the surface of Nina Holt’s perfect marriage lurks a life of terror inflicted upon her by her politically powerful husband Michael and his brother Greg, a sadistic detective. For over a decade they have managed to keep Nina imprisoned, using her to satisfy their every whim.

Worse still, the only light in her life—her 9-year-old son, Sam—considers Michael a hero. When Sam imitates Michael’s violence by lashing out at her, Nina knows it’s time for both of them to escape before Sam truly turns into the monster Michael is grooming him to become.

After crashing her car in her haste to escape, kind motorist Case Herder offers her help. Unaware that he has his own plans for her, Nina accepts, igniting a deadly game of cat and mouse as they flee across Tasmania with Sam.

As Michael and Greg relentlessly hunt them down to Cradle Mountain, Nina finds herself with nowhere left to run. Cornered, she has no choice but to face evil head-on.

And here is the Amazon link if you’d like to hear what others are saying:-


My Review:
I really liked this book. It gave me such a feeling of being a strong woman. To know what Nina went through and endured was horrifying. It was that much more rewarding when she decided to leave the situation and to take her son Sam with her. Michael is a loser, and so is his brother Greg. What made it even worse was that these 2 men were in positions of power. This book has graphic content and is not suitable for young readers. However as I read through this book I was rooting for Nina and Case to become a couple. I also was glad at Michael's and Greg's fate. The author kept me reading and I did not want to put this book down. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review via The Book Reviewer Yellow Pages, however all opinions are my own.
