Review: Watch Your Back

 

Title: Watch Your Back 

Series: Devil's Backbone 

Author: Tate James 

Release Date: July 2025

Dear Reader,

Just when you think it can't get any worse, the universe seems to take that as a personal challenge. The Devil's Backbone Society has their fingers everywhere. It's more than a secret society―it's a leash and a prison sentence. The elders insist it's about making connections that will help you for the rest of your life, but what they don't tell you is how long―or, in this case, short―your life might be.

The society has already cost me―cost us. Blood. Sweat. Tears.

Lives.

Now, it may take more than what I have to give. A part of me wants to be here, wants to see this through to the end. But the rest of me?

The rest of me worries that even if I watch my back, it won't be enough. How do I protect them? How do I protect these handsome, crazy, over-the-top men that I'm falling for?

How do I save them from the society and themselves? And more importantly, how do I 

save myself?

Asdfghjkl!!! 

Watch Your Back picks up where Dear Reader leaves off & is book 2 in the series & must be read in order. 

And OH MY GOD!!! What even was that ending?! 

So as the story progresses - I find myself falling deeper for the characters as I learn more about each of them, and of course the spicy scenes ramping up as well didn't hurt. And have myself immersed in the story wanting answers. And that ending had me flipping the f out and I'm dying to jump into he next book bc I do not handle cliffys very well 😂😂 but all & all I am loving this series and am so glad I finally dived in - but also glad I waited until I owned all three books bc waiting between books would be insufferable and I wouldn't handle it well. 😂😂

5⭐ out of 5⭐. 

4🌶️ out of 5🌶️.
