Evil In Me by Brom | Book Review

August 5, 2024      Erica Robyn      1 Comment

Evil In Me by Brom is a tale centering on a young woman whose life is a whirlwind of misdirection and turmoil. As Ruby struggles to find her footing and navigate a path that seems perpetually unstable, this tale explores the darker sides of human nature when mixed with the supernatural.

CW: mental health, suicide, and infidelity.

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Evil In Me by Brom –

Ruby Tucker has almost reached the end of her personal purgatory. While doing community service at the local community center in her small town, she needs to bite back her anger for a few more days as she deals with the nasty comments from the head of the community center and her ex who also works there.

But Ruby just can’t help it. When one poor decision occurs, a landslide of poor decisions quickly follows. Before we know it, Ruby has an ancient ring clamped onto her finger, possessing her with the spirit of a demon.

As the story unfolds, it’s made clear to the reader that Ruby’s dreams and aspirations have been overshadowed by personal demons and inner rage. When possessed, she finds herself drawn into a world where music holds a potent and transformative power, but can she make it big before it’s too late?

Her journey is marked by intense emotional conflict and a constant battle against the forces that seek to control or consume her, both supernatural and not. As she grapples with her tumultuous emotions and the malevolent influences within her, the music becomes both a refuge and her battleground.

My Favorite Passages from Evil In Me –

Nothing mattered except how I felt. My reality was the only reality.

David returned a moment later with a small fire extinguisher, setting it on the table next to the bowl.
“Did you check that it’s safe for putting out hellfire?” Ruby asked
David laughed. “Says it’s safe for grease fires. Gotta be about the same. Right?”
Ruby groaned.

It is good to leave the bad behind, to let it go. But sometimes things are shut away before they are delt with, They linger, fester like an infected wound, spreading their poison. Often it is not something intentional, just sometimes a person is born a bit broken … unable to deal with life’s struggles.

My Final Thoughts on Evil In Me –

This tale was a frustrating and wild ride from start to finish! At every fork in the road that Ruby faced, I wanted to reach through my Kindle screen to violently shove her in the right direction. But of course, that wouldn’t have made for a fun storyline!

If you enjoy Brom’s storytelling mixed with characters you just want to see good things happen to, this is going to be a hit for you!
