Review: You're Next

 


Title: You're Next 

Series: Devil's Backbone 

Author: Tate James

Release Date: September 2025




The final book in the Devil's Backbone series, a spicy and dark "why choose" romance series from TikTok sensation Tate James.


Dear Reader,

I’ve spent too many nights caught between reality and nightmare, each bleeding into the other like a twisted dream I can’t wake from. The Devil’s Backbone Society continues to host our deepest terrors.

The weight of betrayal crushes me, pressing down on my chest—bitter and suffocating. I don’t know what would be losing the ones I love, the ones who have become my anchors, or losing myself entirely.

In the end, is there even a difference?

You're Next is the conclusion to the Devil's Backbone series & I absolutely loved it. Yes these are Dark Romances but they also err on the lighter/humor side a bit & I loved every second of it. I love the twisted darkness but also loved the humor & banters & characters. These were such fun great reads and I definitely enjoyed them. I enjoyed the crazy, the Cliffys, the romance & spice, & the characters, and I'm so glad I grabbed & read this series. If you like dark romance, why choose & secret society romances than I definitely recommend this series. Quack! 

4.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐. 

4 🌶️ out of 5 🌶️

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.
