Rate this book
After the incident at the Aramis Bridge in Dead Man’s Curse, The Devil changes her target and tactics. No one is safe from her wrath.

Breanna Jenkins is next on her list.

When Dead Man’s Metal hears Diablo planning to move on the next target, Shawn Peterson shoves his pain aside to race to Breanna. Forcing his body beyond his limits, he will stop at nothing to get between her and any threat.
Including the ex-boyfriend who stalks and harasses her.

In an effort to protect her from every threat, Shawn offers a fake dating arrangement. But their efforts to fool the world about their relationship seem anything but fake. Feelings from their past intermingle with the present attraction. Being with each other is as natural as falling into bed.

But in her job as a forensic interviewer at the child advocacy center, Breanna finds that someone powerful is exploiting children in Taylor Ridge. Likely Diablo, especially when increasingly corrupt police detectives refuse to investigate. She fears involving Shawn in her choice to look confirm her suspicions, which requires her to take on a second job of which he would not approve.

Her ex ramps up his stalking efforts, her dating with Shawn goes awry, and Diablo appears in a surprise attack, pushing Breanna to the brink. Then the stakes get even higher when children are at risk.

Dead Man’s Metal is once again put to the test. They need a strategy to attack Diablo, rescue the children, and eradicate Diablo’s hold on the city.

Hearts are at risk of shattering. Lives are on the line. No one’s safety is guaranteed.

Are you ready to take on The Devil?

Dead Man’s Revenge is the second dark romantic suspense novel in the Diablo series. With a crew of morally gray guys, open-door spice, and dark themes, this book is for mature audiences.

Thrilling Ride from Start to Finish

Dead Man’s Revenge, the second book in The Diablo Series by Brooklyn Kerr, is an action-packed, fast-paced read that I couldn’t put down (except when I had to because I was busy writing my own book!). This book is a thrilling mix of action and spice, with Shawn and Breanna keeping you on the edge of your seat, rooting for them at every turn.

Brooklyn Kerr masterfully pulls you into the story, immersing you in the lives of each character with a well-developed, gripping storyline. If you love books that keep your adrenaline pumping while delivering intense emotion, this one is for you.

Just a heads-up… be sure to check the trigger warnings before diving in. But once you do, buckle up and enjoy the ride! I love, love, love this book and  can’t wait to start the next book.

Happy reading!

Sick or not, I tore through Dead Man’s Revenge in five hours it’s that good! Shawn and Breanna’s chemistry, nonstop action, and high stakes kept me hooked. A few moments felt rushed, but the twists and morally gray characters made this dark romantic suspense impossible to put down!

I will never forgive the author for killing off THAT character, but another great read. It’s uncomfortable in many places because of the content. That said, heed the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

This book had me hooked from the very first page. The emotional depth and intensity of Breanna and Shawn’s story made it impossible to put down. Shawn’s determination to protect Breanna, even while carrying the weight of his own pain, was both heartbreaking and beautiful. Their fake dating arrangement was full of chemistry and tenderness, and watching their connection deepen felt so natural and real. I was completely drawn into their bond—rooting for them, aching for them, and hoping they’d find a way to hold onto each other through the chaos.

What really stood out to me was how this story balanced high-stakes suspense with raw, emotional storytelling. Breanna’s strength and commitment to protecting the vulnerable—even at great personal risk—was deeply moving. The dangers they faced felt terrifyingly real, from her stalker ex to the powerful evil threatening the children of Taylor Ridge. I felt every beat of fear, hope, and resilience as the story built to its explosive climax. This book was powerful, gripping, and full of heart. I absolutely loved it.
