The Devil She Knows

About This Audiobook

The Devil She Knows is a sharply written, sapphic rom-com with a supernatural twist that injects fresh energy into the enemies-to-lovers trope. Bellefleur’s razor-sharp banter and cheeky worldbuilding elevate what could’ve been a familiar setup into a compulsive listen. When down-on-her-luck indie bookstore owner Harper Carter makes a reckless deal with a charming but dangerous demon to win back her ex, the stakes feel deliciously high—especially as the demon’s true motives start to unravel. The premise is equal parts ridiculous and irresistible, packing rom-com gold with a side of hellfire. If you love your romances snappy, sexy, and just a little bit wicked, this audiobook delivers the goods without taking itself too seriously.

What sets this apart isn’t just the premise but the execution. The dialogue crackles with wit, and the demon’s manipulative charm makes for a compelling foil to Harper’s scrappy, self-deprecating energy. The supernatural elements are woven in with a light touch, never overshadowing the romance but adding an extra layer of tension and humor. It’s the kind of book that keeps you grinning even as it keeps you guessing—until the very last page."

"review": "Ellie Gossage’s narration is a masterclass in selling both the humor and the heat of this story. Her delivery of Harper’s sarcastic, self-aware inner monologue is spot-on, making even the most over-the-top moments feel grounded. The demon’s voice—smooth, sultry, and just a little sinister—adds an extra layer of allure to the dynamic between him and Harper. Gossage balances the rom-com energy with the darker, more urgent stakes of the supernatural plot, ensuring the tone never feels jarring. She nails the emotional beats too, especially in Harper’s quieter moments of vulnerability, which gives the eventual payoff that much more weight.

Where The Devil She Knows stumbles is in its pacing during the middle act, where the plot meanders a bit as Harper navigates the fallout of her deal. The humor keeps it afloat, but the emotional core occasionally gets drowned out by the antics. That said, the payoff is worth the ride. The final confrontation between Harper and the demon is electric, and the resolution leaves room for both satisfaction and longing—perfect for readers who want their romances to feel earned but not saccharine. Gossage’s performance sells it all, making this a standout listen for fans of witty, banter-heavy sapphic romances with a supernatural kick."
