Devil's Pass: A Sinners' Playground Prequel Novella

A Harlequin Crew Novella, Book 1

By: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

Ten years ago, The Harlequin Boys broke my heart.

I thought my life was complete with them at my side, the five of us against the world, having each other’s backs no matter what the cost.

I’d fight for them until my dying breath.

It’s just a shame they didn’t feel the same.

Once upon a time, my imperfect world shone bright with the light of four boys I would have killed for.

This is the story of how they destroyed me.

This is a 45k prequel novella to the Harlequin Crew series. These books have dark themes, violence, criminals, gangs, and an enemies to lovers romance that will make your heart pound, break it a little, and then crush it beneath the boots of four black hearted men who our girl might just fall for anyway.

Amazing prequel with the BEST narrators

Loved reading this prequel novella before finally diving into the Harlequin Crew story. Seeing what all happened to trigger the main events of the story helped me really appreciate each character so much more.

And of course Bridget and Jake both did a phenomenal job with the audiobook. They are so talented. The emotion and angst that the sisters write, they showcase so well with their wide range of vocal tones and voices.

I’m so excited to enjoy the rest!

Love!

I definitely recommend reading this prequel. It gives you information and insight on the characters. I feel like after reading this you bond more with the characters. I just love the twisted sisters and their work.

Love it

Great Start

Loved the start to this series! It's twisted and dark and painful. I can't wait for the rest of the story!

good narration

Great prequel to an amazing series

It's no secret that Sinners' Playgrounds is by far one of my most favorite contemporary RH books, and therefore, Devil's Pass is too by extension. It does an amazing job of setting the mood for us and gives us a little more insight into the characters. You don't have to read/listen to this before reading/listening to Sinners' Playground, but I highly recommend that you do. Consider it the foreplay before the main action that is SP.

Definitely read before the series

I expected this prequel to just be set up but it was an enjoyable read!

Devil's Pass

well, shoot I was not expecting them to do that to her. man, even I felt her pain, but when Rick took off to try and save her I was so happy but the $h!t hit the fan and they made him take the fall. so not cool. poor Rick. I hope he makes them pay for what they did.

Amazing Prequel

This novella - although I would hardly call this just a 'novella' since it has a larger word count than some of the novels I've read in the past - kicks off a new series by these two amazing authors. 

I got to know these authors through Everlake Prep and have been hooked ever since. Knowing how they like to build up the angst and tension, it came as no surprise that this novella was just that. Introducing new characters and a new plot that will for sure rip my heart to pieces on several occasions, but I digress. 


I totally recommend this novella to be read before you go in the first book of the series, as it gives you some background information you do not want to miss out on. You see a different side from the characters and what lead them to be separated in the first place and it adds to the character development because you get to see the different points of view and just know how they feel about each other. That in itself made this book a gutwrenching read,  but as usual, the authors have a way of writing their story where they manage to balance that feeling out largely. It still packs a huge punch however, but I have faith in the journey these authors will take us on.


The narrators are the same ones that did the Kings of Quarantine books and I really enjoy listening to them A LOT! They did a great job of giving personality to these characters. 

Loving this book in audio!

This book has always impressed me, but hearing the voices come alive, it’s amazing! The narrators are PERFECT for this story! I can’t wait for the next one!

So good!

5/5 stars!

Such a fun quick little listen-
I swear Bridget & Jake have done it again! I could not love an Audiobook duo anymore than I do them. I’ve said if before, but I will listen to ANYTHING they do!!
This was a super quick & fun little prequel Novella that I devoured all in one sitting! It really helped me to understand the relationship, animosity, & background of all of the characters. We also got to interact with the leader of the harlequins; to help understand why the boys act like they do, and did the things to Rogue that they did.

This is NOT a necessary read before the first book series, but it definitely helps to understand everyone’s background, and helps the reader understand why Rogue feels and acts the way she does.
