‘The Devil’s Garden’ by Jane Kindred is a strange story. Well, at least, it is strange to me in the beginning. It was rather difficult to grasps and imagine the world of the characters, but I got used to it after awhile and everything was absolutely captivating from then on.
This book ought to be praised for the creativity and imagination, and I devoured this book within an hour. Highly engaging, seductive and delicious fiction to read.
If you’re looking for a quick escape to the world of sexual intrigue and passionate fantasy, then you might want to pick up this book. You won’t regret it, I promise you.
I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars. I received an ARC of this book from Carina Press via Netgalley.
