About this book
When Darkslayer Darien Cassel first took human Loren Calla under his wing, he made a promise to protect her from anything. Now that she has fallen into a coma, every day a losing battle to return to life, he is determined to save her. When he hears rumors of the one place in Terra that houses a secret that just might bring her back to him, he drops everything to try it, leaving behind the city he grew up in and the people he calls family. His decision sets his best friend Maximus Reacher onto a road of his own—one no less dangerous than Darien's as he unearths the secrets of his past, uncovering a multitude of lies and legends better left buried. Meanwhile, in the historic city of Yveswich, Roman Devlin of the House of Black gets tangled up with a shapeshifting Selkie of the Riptide, a member of a rival Darkslaying house and a thorn in his side. Shay Cousens is a pickpocket with endless tricks up her sleeve—and if Roman isn't careful, she might succeed at stealing both his wallet and his heart as they work together to find her missing sister. Their path will lead them not just to Angelthene, but also into the dark secrets of the Phoenix Head Society—and the restorative body of water that has the power to cleave their world in two. Loyalties are tested, and worlds collide in City of Lies and Legends, the third installment in the House of Devils series.

What readers are saying
BrittanyThis series has me in a chokehold
"4.5 ⭐️ Another masterpiece by Kayla Edwards. Don’t let this big boy fool you, it may be long but it’s also action-packed. I have three points that I believe made this book excellent. First, I think one of my favorite parts of this book was the expansion of the world. Kayla is truly phenomenal at world building and I am always so impressed with how immersive her stories are. The plot is rich in details and the new settings and super fun to read about. This book brought an entire new flavor into an already very unique world, and I was majorly into it. Second, can we talk about how spoiled we are with all the new POVs??? Seriously, I am forever a side character girly and I am HERE FOR ALL THE POVs. You know those books that have some POVs that you truly want to skip over? Yeah, that is most certainly NOT this book. Each side character is well developed yet complicated, and they are so fun to read about. Three, it is an art to find a believable balance between humor and tragedy/fear in stories that are a bit dark like this, and I am always impressed wirh the balance these books are able to find. This story is raw and tear-jerking, and also has little silly parts that remind readers of the layers of life. I appreciate a good laugh in books, no matter how dark the story is. Not only was this book able to find those moments, but it has those certain characters where you just KNOW you are about to be in for a ride for the chapter. I know I said three main points but my honorable mention goes to our newest bookish Shadow Daddy - Roman. Read this book if you like: - an epic plot - urban fantasy - well developed and lovable side characters - steamy romance scenes - tattooed hotties - mental health representation - a bit of mystery - fur baby besties Thank you to Kayla Edwards for the ARC! Im already excited for what comes next. ["

Mrs. JonesFeels redundant
"I feel like we've already read this... like, the same type of characters. Same Daddy issues. Same battles. Same enemies. Just... slightly more mature and developed characters. Don't get me wrong, the characters are detailed, the world building is epic... but I feel like we just got a repeat of book 1. Similar battles, both internal and external. Similar patterns in the story. I pushed through to finish this, but I won't be continuing this series. Book 1 was phenomenal, this feels like she rewrote book one and gave it more depth and dimension. If I hadn't already felt like I'd read this, I'd have loved it. She's an excellent writer, it was just really predictable since I'd literally just read the first two books. ["
