Title: The Wicked in Me
Author: Suzanne Wright
Series: Devil’s Cradle, #1
Publisher: Piatkus
Publication Date: January 12, 2023
Synopsis:
No one really knows what they are. Only that they're the first civilization. Aeons, they call themselves. They're immortal. Powerful. Secretive.
And they'll come for her.
Witch Wynter Dellavale knows that for certain. Because in unfairly trying to execute her, they started a chain of events they're struggling to stop.
Needing safety, she flees to Devil's Cradle, the home of monsters. A place for the outcasts, the fugitives, the crazies. A place inq ruled by the Ancients, seven beings who were once banished by the Aeons.
Among the Ancients is the infamous Cain, brother of Abel and embodiment of jealousy - who, on another note, wants her in his bed.
There's a heavy price for the safety the Ancients offer, but Wynter will have to pay it. She can't take on the Aeons alone. And she has no intention of dying - been there, done that.
Not that she'll be the easy prey the Aeons are expecting. They have no knowledge of the ... thing that lives inside her. You see, when witches are brought back from the afterlife, they don't always come back the same.
And they don't always come back alone.

Sonja’s Review:
Of course I was excited when Suzanne Wright announced she was writing a new series because she’s one of my favorite authors and I just love anything new she puts out whether it’s part of an existing series or if it’s something brand new. I don’t think I fully read the synopsis for The Wicked In Meat the time as I didn’t want my excitement to be at an unmanageable level, but I did take note of the Devil’s Cradle title and I had a good feeling about it too. It was in the back of my mind peacefully existing and then I read the latest book in Ms. Wright’s Deep In Your Veins series and that’s when my eagerness for The Wicked In Me grew. In it the hero and heroine visit a place called Devil’s Cradle which I remembered was in Ms. Wright’s new project and when I went to confirm, I saw that Cain would be the hero and I was beyond looking forward to it as I was very interested in seeing more of Cain!
So when 2022 hit, naturally, I couldn’t wait until May for the first book to come out and at some point early in the year, Ms. Wright gave us the wonderful news that this series had been picked up by a publisher. I was a little bummed for me, but even more so I was happy for her. While I didn’t anticipate a little longer of a wait, it was one hundred percent worth it! I loved The Wicked In Me from the jump and it’s honestly my new favorite series from Ms Wright now!
I had such a good feeling about The Wicked in Me and it completely exceeded my expectations with how amazing it was! The world was fascinating, the characters were uber interesting, and the plot was exciting — I just could not get enough of this story! I had oodles of fun reading about Cain and Wynter and co, it was all so entertaining, there was never a dull moment and I might just have to read it again while I wait for the next two books in the series. This was definitely one of my favorite reads of the year and I absolutely cannot wait for more!
