The Very Devil Herself! Loren Molloy Books
What a great book, I loved it..... It's a good story and the book left me wanting to read more....hopefully the author will do a series eventually. The addition of current language infused into the late 1700's is actually quite refreshing. It's very well written and a page turner. I am an avid Kindle Book enthusiast, I read a book per week easily....I need to have a book grab my attention at least by the end of the first chapter or I won't read further. Hate boring books.....this book is attention grabbing from the first.Tags : Amazon.com: The Very Devil, Herself!

The Very Devil Herself! Loren Molloy Books Reviews
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
When I first read the book’s description, I was automatically drawn in. I’m a sucker for the paranormal so I was excited to read what I expected to be a run-of-the-mill vampire-like tale told in a regency setting. I immediately placed the book that I was currently reading aside and dove right in. Please note that although the book’s description states that the main character is a cannibal, I couldn’t help but think of her as a vampire. Therefore, all references in this review will refer to Alexandra as a “vampire” instead of a “cannibal.”
With the book now completed, I can honestly say that it is in no way perfect but it also provided moments of entertainment. Although there were several spots that were overlooked by the editor, the overall story was able to shine through. Several things stood out to me while reading so I’ll address them one at a time.
• Alexandra/Lady Odessa- Our main character is introduced as an introverted, cold-blooded killer. Unlike the vampires we’ve come to know, she must actually consume human flesh to survive but she chooses to only feed on drunken men (initially) as she poses as a prostitute. I fully expected to hate her since the reader was given an uncensored front-row seat to her meals but surprisingly, she was my favorite character. I loved how she learned to control herself around humans that she cared about and how she eventually decided to only feed upon those humans that made the conscious decision to become monsters and were condemned to death anyway. Overall, I thought that she was extremely relatable and by the end of the book, I was satisfied with her growth.
• Daniel- In my opinion, this seemed to be such a huge lost opportunity. Daniel’s character seemed to represent the light to Alexandra’s darkness and through his initial compassion, Alexandra was able to find her own humanity. I also felt that all of the elements of a strong, romantic relationship seemed to be there but if it was ever acted upon, the reader was never given the chance to see it. Instead, the author zooms so far into the future that Daniel is no longer around yet Alexandra is still working for the king while using her old prostitute alias. I felt that the majority of Daniel’s life was omitted for no real reason and after learning of his death, I wondered why the bulk of the book focused mainly on restoring his social status if the results were never going to be revealed.
• Charles- This character felt completely unnecessary. I honestly thought that Alexandra was going to eat him eventually but she disappointed me.
• Marguerite and Nathaniel- These characters weren’t exactly bad but I felt that they were a little unbelievable. Alexandra told both of them what she eats and neither one of them thought twice about it. To make it worse, they both actively helped to bring in her dinner and then disposed of the remains. Different time period or not, I’m sure someone would have flipped out at some point.
• Time Jumps- I don’t know if it was just me but there were times when I had no clue when something was happening. For example, the initial scenes with a young “Old Samuel” left me wondering if it was all just a memory because one minute he was telling her about herself and belting out pearls of wisdom and the next he was old and bedridden waiting to be mercy killed by Alexandra. Time jumps like this happen throughout the book and it really made the story hard to follow at times.
• Alexandra’s Abilities- None of them are explained and only seem to manifest themselves at opportune moments deus ex machina style.
• Alexandra’s Service to the King(s)- This was completely pointless. Unlike the traditional vampire, Alexandra was not given any major weaknesses and could have easily escaped basically any dangerous situation that she found herself in. It only made a little sense when she was trying to help restore Daniel’s good name, status, and place in society.
• The Overall Plot- To put it plainly, there didn’t seem to be one. The only time a plot seemed to emerge was along with the Lady Odessa scheme but once that climax was thwarted, it all seemed to fly out of the window. The rest of the book was spent simply following Alexandra around with no real direction.
Overall, this was an interesting interpretation of the vampire. It had its ups and downs but I can say that the story kept my attention for the most part. Based on the graphic details of Alexandra’s meals and the sheer amount of gore, this book is obviously not for everyone. Those interested in this type of content should give it a try.
So I recently completed "The Very Devil Herself" from horror author Loren Molloy and I thought it was great! While it takes place during the 19th century there is a very contemporary feel to the story. The characters are exceedingly likable and the disturbing imagery is the perfect window dressing for a dark tale of horror. I loved it and I would love to see it on the big screen. I truly believe it has that kind of potential. Pick up your copy TODAY!
This was my first read from this Author and I was given a free copy of this novel for an honest review. The main character, Alexandar, who is a vampire who also needs to consume human flesh is very captivating and so I read the story in one sitting. It was nice that her character was also set against the male character of Daniel, who is able to bring out the 'softer' side of this Vampire and together they rid London of 'monsters.' I would have liked to have been more immersed in the world the characters found themselves and there were a few typos but overall this was a good read.
It took me awhile but after finally finishing The Very Devil Herself by Loren Molloy I have to say it truly is an amazing pickup for any horror fan. From beginning to end I couldn't put it down, sadly I had to since I had other reviews to do, and you can easily get lost in it just to find out whatever comes next.
I enjoy supporting indie writers especially those who do fantastic work and follow their dreams and aren't afraid to go for it.
From the vivid characters, such as Alexandra, Daniel, Charles, King George and the fact that I could easily picture the entire book play out as I read it. Really don't want to Spoil the story for those who haven't read it yet but, a brief description of the book is that Alexandra is an immortal cannibal who feeds on humans to live when the King of England discovers her he makes her work for him catching murderers.
I can't wait to read Loren Molloy's recent book, The Storyteller of Pain. She is definitely a writer to look out for and who is doing extraordinary work.
Much different from other vampire books. Excellent writing and character development, and it has a great ending!!!
I really enjoyed reading The Very Devil Herself! I was able to read it quickly and I love the character of Alexandra! I would love to read more about her! )
If you're looking for Twilight, this isn't it. Also if you're looking for Stephen King or Anne Rice, this also isn't it. A very good read. It drags at times, but overall it is good. The dialogue is definitely not period accurate, but I prefer a simpler read occasionally anyway. Recommend it for a rainy day (or given it's size, a week).
What a great book, I loved it..... It's a good story and the book left me wanting to read more....hopefully the author will do a series eventually. The addition of current language infused into the late 1700's is actually quite refreshing. It's very well written and a page turner. I am an avid Book enthusiast, I read a book per week easily....I need to have a book grab my attention at least by the end of the first chapter or I won't read further. Hate boring books.....this book is attention grabbing from the first.
