About this eBook

The devil offered me a deal. Now he regrets it.

Picture me—the loser. Twenty-five, stuck at home with my older sister, a job that pays pennies, and sickening amounts of medical debt. Sounds like fun? Enter the reason for all of the above: the chronic pain I’ve been suffering from for almost a decade and that I will never get rid of.

Now picture him—the demon whispering in my ear.

I get one wish, he says. Anything.

In exchange, he gets my body for just ten hours a day. For just seven weeks.

Pretty sweet deal, right? And it’s obvious what I’m going to ask for.

Well, that’s what he thought.

He couldn’t imagine there’s something that haunts me more than my pain. Something I would give anything to fix.

So now he’s stuck with me, suffering and trying to convince me to change my wish, but there’s nothing that could make me give up what I asked for. Not even that purring, sultry voice that tells me we could be doing something other than fight for control.

Tied to Hell is an MM monster romance with a trans love interest, lots of banter, angst, and spice. Though best enjoyed after the first book in the Monsters of Brimrey Island series, it can be read as a standalone and has a HEA. Check out the rest of the series for more queer characters finding love in this small town on a haunted island.

Thank you to Vee for the ARC! I enjoyed this installment in the series just as much as the last one. Vee does a great job of creating characters with strong narrative voices, which is something I appreciate (and find necessary) for first-person perspectives. The character relationships were a strong point, and felt very believable. I also appreciated the raw, unfiltered look at how a disabled character feels about their disability. Overall, a great balance between fun and emotional moments!

Vee really knows how to express the emotions & fears of a chronically ill/pain sufferer. They gutted me a couple times w how it felt like they pulled Dusk’s feelings right out of my brain. This book was absolutely unique. I’ve never read a book with this type of monster situation. It was intriguing the entire way through. Vee didn’t do the expected, which made this book refreshing & special. I adore Juniper & hope she gets her own story! I LOVED it! I’m gonna go cry & listen to Hozier now.Kisses

Beautifully, achingly human. I adore Rae and Dusk's banter and the spiteful ways they snipe at each other in the beginning and how that slowly morphs to more trust and care as their relationship deepens. This book has some of the best, most realistic descriptions of what it's like to live with disability I've ever seen. I laughed, I cried, I felt truly SEEN while reading this book and I can't recommend it highly enough. *ARC review, all opinions are my own.

About the author

Vee Debras (they/them) grew up in an isolated, creaky-floored house in the mountains. They spent their childhood staring at a dark corner of their tiny room, terrified that the demon lurking there would try to possess them.

In an unexpected turn of events, they became a queer monster romance writer.

Vee is obsessed with love and community, so of course hurt/comfort is their favorite flavor of story—life will hurt you, but the people who love you have your back.

When not going tap tap tap on their keyboard, you can find Vee enjoying a horror movie or the latest seasonal anime. Or maybe gazing out to sea while listening to Hozier (and crying about it, probably).
