Devil's Backbone, Book 3

By: Tate James

Narrated by: Lilly Drake, James Joseph, Corvin King, Michael Gallagher, Gregory Salinas

The final book in the Devil’s Backbone series, a spicy and dark “why choose” romance series from TikTok sensation Tate James.

Dear Reader,

I’ve spent too many nights caught between reality and nightmare, each bleeding into the other like a twisted dream I can’t wake from. The Devil’s Backbone Society continues to host our deepest terrors.

The weight of betrayal crushes me, pressing down on my chest—bitter and suffocating. I don’t know what would be worse: losing the ones I love, the ones who have become my anchors, or losing myself entirely.

In the end, is there even a difference?

Fantastic Ending

I am a little sad it's over though. definitely going to be a relisten since they are all out now. The cast is utterly amazing and narration well done.

Spicy hot fun

Tate James is such a great writer and I’m so happy she used these talented narrators to bring the story to life!

Excellent duet narration…

The narration was a big part of my enjoying this series.

The author leaned a bit too much on racy content in this last book in the series. It cheapened the characters and made them seem a little ridiculous - even obnoxious at times.

But the story held up and - though predictable - still gave a satisfying conclusion.

love it!

The entire series keeps you enthralled and waiting for the next turn of events. Story line is wonderful and spicy bits are amazingly spicy.
Will definitely recommend this to friends.

Tate James, I was unfamiliar with your game...

This was the final book in the Devil’s Backbone series, and let me tell you.. it didn't disappoint me!

I was convinced there was no way I’d ever like Nate… and yet, here I am, totally falling for him. Tate James has a way of flipping your expectations. Nate had a lot of growth, and the way he wanted her so bad he couldn't wait for simple directions... IYKYK. Chef’s kiss. And just when you think you’ve figured it all out... who the villain is, what the twists are... BOOM! You’re wrong. Again. Tate keeps you guessing right up until the end.

She really did her big one with this trilogy. Everything hit exactly the way it needed to. This is a MUST READ series if you like this kind of thing. The audio is a MUST.
