Tied to hell
Book 2 of Monsters of Brimrey Island
The devil offered me a deal. Now he regrets it.
Picture me—the loser. Twenty-five, stuck at home with my older sister, a job that pays pennies, and sickening amounts of medical debt. Sounds like fun? Enter the reason for all of the above: the chronic pain I’ve been suffering from for almost a decade and that I will never get rid of.
Now picture him—the demon whispering in my ear.
I get one wish, he says. Anything.
In exchange, he gets my body for just ten hours a day. For just seven weeks.
Pretty sweet deal, right? And it’s obvious what I’m going to ask for.
Well, that’s what he thought.
He couldn’t imagine there’s something that haunts me more than my pain. Something I would give anything to fix.
So now he’s stuck with me, suffering and trying to convince me to change my wish, but there’s nothing that could make me give up what I asked for. Not even that purring, sultry voice that tells me we could be doing something other than fight for control.
Tied to Hell is an MM monster romance with a trans love interest, lots of banter, angst, and spice. Though best enjoyed after the first book in the Monsters of Brimrey Island series, it can be read as a standalone and has a HEA. Check out the rest of the series for more queer characters finding love in this small town on a haunted island.

Well, that made me cry. A lot. Highly unusual. Excellent book. More monster-fucking, angst, grumpy asshole-y snark, sibling comedy hour, and more TAIL PLAY.
Goodreads Review of Tied to Hell
This is one of the first books in a long time that has made me immediately want to start over and read it again from the beginning. The twist near the end was well done and made me immediately rethink a chunk of the story.
This book has some of the best, most realistic descriptions of what it’s like to live with disability I’ve ever seen.

Vee has a way of making the most special stories and bring their characters to life. It’s amazing, the way they choose the perfect word at the perfect moment to make you feel so! many! emotions! Everyone feels so complex, so real, so alive and coherent.
