Suspenseful thrilling crime
What a fantastic start to a series. This book had me glued with suspense, mystery, edge of seat danger, loads of action and intrigue. The writing just draws you in, and it’s almost like watching a movie. The characterisation is spot on and I was vested from the beginning. I am so looking forward to following this series.

The Divine Devils
By: R. Weir
5*
I loved this book! The idea is fantastic and the twists and turns kept coming. More importantly, I found an author whose books I will reread and recommend time and time again.
Paige’s two children are in extreme danger. Three attacks on their lives in less than that many weeks. She does the only thing a mother can do call the best person she can to protect them. The problem is, that person is also someone who broke her heart many times over. Hunter Divine answers the call and does all he can to help his past lover. He is living a very sketchy life right now but would do anything for this one that may have gotten away.
The twists and turns kept coming as the book unfurls. What I loved the most was that is was so hard to put down. I am so glad that this is the beginning of a new series and I cannot wait to read the next book.

The Divine Devils by R. Weir is the first book I’ve read by this author. First of all, from the beginning of the first chapter it caught my attention. The description of the daily routine for the children and the men protecting and guarding them got my interest. Then learning about Hunter Divine a bit and the reason why he takes a job when a former girlfriend reaches out for help. The next thing that I appreciated was getting the back story on the characters working with Hunter Divine and how each of them met him. What kept me reading to the end was the intrigue, suspense, and wondering who and why these kids are being targeted. I would recommend this book to friends and family in a heartbeat.

By R. Weir
This was such a great sit on the edge of my seat kind of story. This book was full of action, suspense, great characters and so much more. Hunter Divine and his team are trying to keep two teenagers safe from being kidnapped after two attempts have already been made. The team is a diverse group of people with all different skill sets. I was trying to figure out who was behind all of it the entire time I was reading but I was nowhere close to figuring it out. The author did a great job keeping me entertained throughout and got me invested in the people and the story. I cannot wait to read what’s coming next. I highly recommend this book.

I give The Divine Devils: Mystery Suspense Crime Thriller: Book 1 by R. Weir, 5 stars.
I am a huge fan of the Jarvis Mann series by this author and I could not wait to see what this new series had to offer. It is completely different from the Mann series but the author yet again has another hit series on his hands. Less PI and more “do whatever it takes to get the job done,” Hunter Devine reminds me of that certain movie character from the 70s. You know, the one that’s a bad mother- (shut your mouth!), but brought into a more modern time. I also enjoy that the characters in this book are older, they are experienced and have been molded by their pasts, both good and bad. The team Hunter has is spectacular. I really hope to see them highlighted more in future books.
The story itself is intriguing; dangerous, sad at times, shocking, and keeps you on your toes. You are constantly wondering what will happen next and will they all make it out alive. The author weaves such a wonderful world, taking us many places in the US and beyond. I anxiously await the next book to see what the next adventure is. I hope this series lasts quite a while.

This book kept me on my toes, just when I thought that there couldn’t be more to happen, it would take a turn to something else. The little gleams into the character’s past too was amazing into who and why they were, I really enjoyed that part. Hunter a former US marshal, who does everything in his power to save these teenagers that are trying to be taken by a crazy mad man, that doesn’t care about anything but his own personal gains. The sick twisted way that this mad man was written was so amazing it made me want to hate him, whenever he was in the book. I enjoyed the roles of the women in this book as while, R. Weir wrote these women as kicking butt and then taken names, I loved how they would fight and stand for who and what they wanted. The twists and turns in this book really had me guessing and wondering what could happen now and it was hard to put down.
If a book 2 will be written I will for sure be grabbing it, and if it becomes a movie…….

This was a thrilling read that pulled me right in from the beginning. I had a late night with this book since I couldn’t put it down.
Hunter gets involved in a case that dredges up people from his past. What he doesn’t know is that the person has a reason why he is using these specific people. It is someone seeking revenge on Hunter, but why?
Can Hunter find them before it is too late?
Overall this was an edge of your seat read, I couldn’t wait to see what was coming next.
We get so much in this read your head will be spinning, danger, mystery and so much more. All of the characters added a great element to the story. We get several twists and turns. I will warn that there are some scenes that may cause triggers for some. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

This book was absolutely amazing! It has to be one of the top books I have read this year, and I did not want it to end. The amount of action, suspense, mystery and intrigue will keep you reading late into the night and on the edge of your bed. Hunter is a former US Marshal who lost his career due to a situation which was no fault of his own, and now he is trying to navigate the next phase of his life with little sense of purpose. When Paige calls upon him to help her with kidnappers who are after her children not once, but twice now he knows he has to do it. This book will keep you guessing each step of the way each chapter gives us intricate plot twists, torture, kidnapping, gore/violence, and even a love spark of old flames.

While this is on the longer side, every word was worth it.
I really didnt know where this was going to end up as every time I thought I knew even just a little bit, I was thrown in the other direction (love and hate when that happens, its a good thing).
I love action movies and this could pass for a manuscript for one and that is saying something. Cannot wait for the rest of this series!

Kidnappings, revenge, foreign terrorists are just a few of the action packed adventures in this book. From page 1, the author grabs your attention by jumping right into the thick of things. Paige and Jose are just trying to protect their children from being kidnapped, which has happened multiple times recently. Paige has brought in Hunter Divine and his team to protect them. Hunter, Athena, Camryn, and the rest of the team have their hands full trying to figure out who the game master is. Who is really pulling the strings? I have to say that the author did a great job with the characters. I truly loved Olivia. She started out as a spoiled bratty teenager and I watched her throughout the story become a strong, courageous young woman who kicks butt when the time calls for it. She could really defend herself. A book of strength and courage. I was very excited to see it’s a series. I can’t wait to read the next one.

The Divine Devils in the first in a new series by R. Weir. Hunter Divine, ex US Marshal, is contacted by an old girlfriend when there are several attempted kidnappings of her children. Happily married, Paige and Jose cannot figure out who, or why, someone would want to take their children. Hunter quickly assembles a team to provide around the clock protection for the family. But he is facing a formidable opponent who always seems to be one step ahead.
The Divine Devils is a really good story that is full of action. I really liked the characters and would have rated it higher, however, there were two glaring issues for me. First of all, the dialogue between characters was too stiff, not like people speak in real life. Second, the amount of detail in the story distracts from the flow of the novel. For example, we don’t need to know exactly what was on a sandwich the characters had. The level of mystery to the story was great and kept me guessing for the majority of the novel. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

Something about this dark and ominous cover drew me in right away and I just had to know what the story was behind it. I am so glad I one-clicked and dove right in. I was immediately sucked into this dark and twisty crime thriller that took me on a ride that kept me up well into the night as I read further and further to know how this story would come to a conclusion. The best part of this book ending, and the only good part lol, is that it is the first in a new series from R Weir so we are bound to be getting a lot more of this dark crime thriller read and detective story line and I cannot wait! This introduces us to Hunter Divine, a former US Marshall with a whole lot of issues and a dark past that gives him all the reasons for the issues. He has the past revisit him when an ex calls on him for help. This is only the beginning of the drama and suspense. I won’t divulge more details because that would only spoil the fun but take my word for it, you won’t want to miss this one!

5 Stars
Although this was somewhat of a long book and took me some time to complete because life has been crazy and my reading time limited, I absolutely loved every bit of this book!! OMG I felt at times like I was reading a live movie that I was watching and could literally see all of this playing out. I could not get it off my mind when I had to put it down and rushed to pick it back up. The build up of this story was sheer perfection…I normally don’t want backgrounds and such but every word and every page was pulling me in more and more as the story progressed. My mind was going every which way through this book trying to figure out who was behind everything going on. I now know how far off base I stayed throughout LOL I have read enough books that now I suspect everyone and in this case I was on the edge of my seat realizing I was completely unaware of what was happening.
I especially loved the characters in this book. Each one with their own story, each one with their own quirks. I loved how they all came together as one and then the added in support just blew me away. I could go on forever talking about each of these people, each one important and all of them I hope to see again in the coming books. I love where this is going, and I have high hopes for this team growing even closer. I was left with questions of one character in particular and have so many ideas about how that could still play out in the future of this series. I hope there is much more to come on that character.
I am so so so excited for this series, I can not wait for the next (and I want one of those t-shirts lol) and although this is only my 2nd book by this author I will be reading anything and everything I can get my hands on.
I LOVED IT!!!

This book is an awesome start to a new series. My favorite genre is crime/thriller and R Weir has become one of my favorite authors. His stories grab me from the first page until the last word. Every time I thought that I knew what was going to happen, there was a twist that went totally in a different direction. This just made me turn the pages faster and faster. In this story, Hunter Divine is asked by his ex-lover to help her with her twins. They have been targeted to be kidnapped and she wants him to help to keep them safe. He will try to keep them safe, but there is where the problem and the mystery/thriller take off. I highly recommend this story to see what happens in the end.

TRIGGER ALERT: Kidnapping, gore, torture.
Hunter Divine is a gun-for-hire after losing his job as a US Marshal over an incident for which he was blamed, which was not his fault, of course. A former flame, Paige, calls for his help b/c her children are being threatened w/ a kidnapping by some unknown person. The action – often gory – starts immediately w/ an attempted kidnapping of the teenagers as they are on their way to school.
This book reads like a stereotypical action movie, where the men are men and the women are glad. The women are all tall and strong, even the teenage daughter. There are plenty of woman-on-woman fight scenes to add to the sense of this novel being a male fantasy. Many of the sentences are only sentence fragments, short and choppy. I don’t know if this was the author’s writing style, or if the Kindle formatting was just bad. There were a lot of incorrect homophones as well, as spellcheck cannot catch those. Plenty of clothing descriptions added to the above-mentioned issues distracted me from the plot as well.
There are all kinds of plot twists to keep you guessing as to the bad guy behind everything and his motivations, and the ending is can’t-put-your-book-down tense. I also liked the diversity of the characters. Therefore, I’m rounding this one up to three stars, even though it would usually not be my cup of tea for reading material.

The Divine Devils is one of the most intense and action packed novels I have ever read. While I have never personally read anything from R. Weir, The Divine Devils was such an amazing read that I will not hesitate to pick up more books from this author. This action packed thriller is filled with everything a reader could hope for including several twists and turns, suspense, crime, and above all adventure that will lead his readers a a wild imaginative ride. Mr. Weir’s characters are well developed and immensely relatable, his narrative is easy to understand, and flows beautifully through the story, and his plot line develops wonderfully through the book. So if your looking for a new author this summer, or even just a new book I highly
recommend The Divine Devils by R. Weir.

This is one twisty thrilling ride! I loved every second! I never knew what was going to happen next. The story and the characters are both unpredictable. There are many twists and turns that had me going “wait…what just happened?” I could not read this book fast enough. It really drew me in and kept me entertained.
The characters are plentiful but the main ones are Divine and his team. There are also those characters I love to hate. To pick a favorite character is tough. Valerie is cold and calculating but she also embodies strong female. I was impressed with the devotion Lance showed the family. Hunter is a strategically smart guy. I also liked the random “muscle guys” that were in here..they added some comic relief the second time we see them.
I enjoyed this intricate puzzle piece thriller. The author did an outstanding job putting this all together. I really enjoyed the very end of the epilogue. It rounds it all out nicely.
I eagerly look forward to more!

The Divine Devils is the first book in The Divine Devils series by R. Weir. This is a fantastic crime thriller- with plenty of mystery, suspense, danger, hidden agendas, investigation, intrigue, tension, violence, and action.
I love Mr. Weir’s Jarvis Mann Detective series, so when I saw that he had written a new book, and it’s the start of a brilliant new series, I couldn’t one-click fast enough. I also love that Hunter is quite different to Jarvis (from Mr. Weir’s Jarvis Mann Detective series)- bringing his own complexities, quirks and flaws to this new series. I was completely invested in the story, and the characters, right from the beginning- following along trying to figure everything out as the story unravelled.
Hunter Divine is a former US Marshall who comes with a lot of baggage. He moves from job to job, pay check to pay check, trying to forget the past- but not able to truly move on; self-medicating with sex and alcohol as a means to try to get by. He is definitely a little broken- but remains great at his job. So, when a former lover contacts him with an urgent request, he can’t say no. Her children have been targeted by kidnappers who have struck twice now- the children barely escaping the latest attempt. Hunter will need to dig deep and use all his skill and training in order to keep the children safe and figure out who is behind the kidnapping plots, and why the children were targeted in the first place. So, buckle up, and get set for a thrilling ride.
I know I keep saying this, but Mr. Weir has out done himself yet again! This is such a superb story that held me in its grip from beginning to end. It is a complex and multi-layered storyline, resulting in quite a gripping tale. I think it’s definitely one of the top three reads of his, so far!
Bring on Book#2!
Brilliant!
Thank you, Mr. Weir!

This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. It is full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing from start to finish. You don’t know who to trust, and who is actually behind the plot to kidnap the children or the reason why? The author takes you on a rollercoaster of ride as you work your way through with the lead character to try and work out who is out to get the kids before its too late.
I love how the author takes you in depth with all the characters with regards to their pasts and how they find themselves in the position they are in now. The main person of the Divine Devils is Hunter. His character is really well written. He’s no angel, he has a past that he isn’t proud of and things he needs to change to make his future better but is commitment to this job shines through from the second he takes over.
This book will have you gripped from the first page and with the fast pace of the book you definately won’t be able to put it down until the end. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Divine Devils opens with a dramatic kidnapping attempt of two teenagers: Olivia and Deion Hawkins. Understandably terrified, their wealthy parents will spare no expense in order to stop this heist. Enter Hunter Devine, ex-US Marshall and all-round excellent fighter and protector. He hopes to piece together the motives and identities of the assailants and stop them in their tracks. Hopefully in time to save their lives.
Hunter is a deftly drawn character, and I appreciated how the authour took time to lay out the nuances of his personality. Despite some questionable past choices, he is an easy character to empathize with and root for. The plot hums along nicely, with lots of action to maintain interest. I wanted things to be a little less ‘spelled-out’ for me as a reader… I felt there wasn’t enough room for a reader to wonder and make predictions. Despite that, it’s a solid crime thriller for fans of the genre.
