Doing the right thing ain’t cheap…not when you’ve got to pay the devil’s due.
After a lab explosion leaves him changed forever, wanted fugitive Jack Carson knows only one thing for certain; he’s just one wrong move away from a fate worse than death. Struggling to make sense of life on the run, Jack assumes that middle-of-nowhere, Iowa would be the safest place to lay low. But small towns can hide big secrets.
When a free drink and a misguided act of chivalry blows the town’s sleepy veneer straight to hell, Jack is left to deal with the mess. Blackmailed into criminal service by a backwoods gangster with delusions of grandeur, Carson finds himself faced with the ultimate choice…save the town or save his own skin.
Can Jack use his otherworldly powers to rescue the town’s beautiful bar owner and bring the small town mob to their knees? Or will a pair of ambitious federal agents find him before he has the chance?
The Devils Due is a heart-pounding new thriller. If you like edge of your seat thrills, harrowing suspense, and nonstop action then you will love this new installment from CM Raymond and LE Barbant—The Devils Due!

Review
I received this audiobook for an honest review.
I have to say that the narrator was pretty good with the pace, I really liked that.
the plot was pretty active and steady, some things were a little weird but nothing too harsh.
Jack carson as a character is pretty weird and complex he is a bad guy that is a good guy? a little confusing for me but it was cool.
the ending leave you with a sentiment of a second book, so hopefully we will be seeing a lot of jack’s story down the road soon enough.

Reseña
Recibi este libro para una reseña honesta.
Debo decir que el narrador fue excelente con cómo leyó, eso me gusto.
la trama fue bastante activa y se mantuvo así, algunas cosas me parecieron algo raras pero nada muy duro.
Jack Carson como personaje era bastante raro y complejo era un chico malo que era el buen chico? para mi eso fue bastante confuso en contexto pero okay.
el final te deja con un sentimiento como que habrá un segundo libro, así que posiblemente veremos más de la historia de Jack pronto en camino.
Calificación
Good job, I always struggle with reviewing books I didn’t care for – you did it well
Thanks honey, I try hard with them
Yes!!! I love how you took the time to post both in English and in Spanish. I wouldn’t be able to do that. The book sounds amazing though. I’m going to have to check it out.
Great review. I may have to look more into this book.
Great review. I love the cover which really makes me want to add it to my TBR. I love audiobooks and it’s such a short listen!
It appears there was a second book to this series called “The Devil’s Wager” that was released earlier this year. This sounds like an interesting read. I added it to my wish list to consider to read later. Thanks for the great review!
I agree; this is a great review of a book you don’t really care for. That’s such a hard thing to pull off. I actually think the elements that made you not like it make it a good fit for me, so I may have to pick it up.
