This is one of the darkest books I've ever read. Parts of it were so disturbing that I don't even know how to convey the depravity. It is absolutely not for many, but for a certain audience, it is perfection. Better the Devil You Know is horrific, smart and beyond rare. - \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u00bd Fangirl Moments and My Two Cents<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

A wonderful piece of writing from a master of words. Dark, twisted, fucked up - and oh so bloody clever. [...] This is clever, pulls no punches and hurts real good. [...] The characterization of Byron is brilliant in its monstrosity. -\u00a0\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 x3 Boy Meets Boy Reviews<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

What I\u2019ve been waiting for is a novel that would engage and repulse, all at the same time, and Bey Deckard has delivered in a big way with Better the Devil You Know, a perfectly twisted tale that looks at evil through the eyes of a serial killer... -\u00a0\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 The Novel Approach<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr. Deckard is a very clever and gifted storyteller who can write a fantastic tale that takes the reader to hell and back. Enjoy the ride! -\u00a0\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 KathyMac Reviews<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
