Deviant

Ivy FoxBlurb: An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today bestselling author, Ivy Fox.

RowenEvery small town harbors its secrets—some darker than others.

None are more sinister than the one we carry.

Blackwater Falls thrives on its macabre annual ritual, where twelve souls are sent into the unforgiving mountains during harvest season, bound to a deadly game where only one returns alive.

We call these grim games The Scourge, and this year, I’m not merely hoping to be chosen—I’m determined to be offered up as a sacrifice.

For that will be my penance and, hopefully…my absolution.


EliasLittle doe-eyed Rowen Hawthorne believes she can escape the wrathful storm brewing inside me by getting selected for the Harvest Dozen, but she underestimates the lengths I will go to for my vengeance.

I won’t let anyone take her from me.

Rowen’s shattered existence is a puzzle I intend to reconstruct in my cruel design. If being chosen for The Scourge gives me the chance to exact my revenge on her, then I will wholeheartedly embrace the role of the hunter.

I’m not afraid of the dark—I am the dark.

If absolution is her end game, then I’ll make sure to steal it away from her.

She should tremble in fear, for once the games begin, every secret, every breath, will lead to her downfall... and my ultimate triumph.

Author This is a dark, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity romance, which features scenes of a violent nature as well as those of an explicit sexual nature. Your mental health matters, so please check TW.

REVIEW 5*

I have a huge book hangover. Deviant by Ivy Fox was everything I expected it to be and more.

It’s dark romance in its finest. It makes you hate everything and slowly the vines of love slowly creep in and grip you to the edge of your seat so you can’t read fast enough.

Roe did a bad thing. So unthinkable even she can’t forgive herself. Now she’s waiting for her judgement day and hoping it comes fast. She sits on Grove bridge between life and death waiting.

Elias knows what Roe did. He’s heard her confession on the whisper of the wind. He wants revenge as much as she wants her judgement day. With a plan to give into her wants they’re both living in the balance between fates.

Blackwater Falls is a town built on corruption. The town survives in the sacrifice of the Harvest Dozen. It’s a deadly game with only one winner. How to be selected is unclear but Roe discovers there’s a way to volunteer. Now her focus is on joining her bad mistake, her best friend.

Elias is fully aware of everything Roe does and he’s only a step behind her.

When the game is deadly can Elias survive long enough to get what will give him peace?
