Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas
Release Date: February 11th
Kill Switch, an all-new standalone dark romantic suspense by Penelope Douglas.
WINTER
Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could’ve done. It didn’t matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I’d have time to disappear before he got out or he’d cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was.
But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he’s anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan.
And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn’t expect this.
He doesn’t want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.
DAMON
First thing’s first. Get rid of her daddy. He told them I forced her. He told them his little girl was a victim, but I was a kid, too, and she wanted it just as much as I did.
Step two… Give her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run and no fuel to escape. The Ashby women are alone now and desperate for a knight in shining armor.
But that’s not what’s coming.
No, it’s time I listened to my father and took control of my future. It’s time I showed them all—my family, her family, my friends—that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives.
Starting with her.
She’ll be so scared, she won’t even be safe in her own head by the time I’m done with her. And the best part is I won’t have to break into her home to do it.
As the new man of the house I have all the keys.
Kill Switch is suitable for readers 18+. While it can be read as a stand-alone, all of the characters are developed throughout the series. The first two books, Corrupt and Hideaway, are now available through Kindle Unlimited!

Excerpt
Review
Damon Torrance. I thought I knew him, but I was wrong. SO wrong! I simply knew his name, not his story.
Damon’s story is not for the faint of heart. It is dark, disturbing and will shock you to the core, but if you take a chance on him, you will realize that there is more to him than meets the eye.
Damon has a dark past and hurts those closest to him because of it but underneath the rough exterior and his menacing gaze, is a hurt boy who just wants to be loved, understood and accepted. No one sees this. No one but Winter. But just like everyone else in his life, Damon hurts Winter, earning him her hatred but he would rather live with her hatred than not have her at all in his life.
He forces his way into her life in the most uniquely Damon way. Only he would think to do what he did to not only get into her life but also her home. It’s crazy, I tell you. But it’s Damon and Damon does whatever it takes to get what he wants and what he wants is Winter. He wants to hurt her and he wants to hurt her good so she never forgets him. And hurt her he does, but Winter is a lot stronger than he anticipates and she fights back, giving an eye for an eye a new meaning.
The vengeance, the push and pull, and the building tension between Damon and Winter created some of the hottest moments ever. And when I say hottest, I’m not kidding. Those two could set a room ablaze with just one touch. But no matter how good they are together, that doesn’t stop them from hating each other. Together, they give hate f*ck a new meaning. ;)
Damon and Winter’s story is no fairytale and it will hurt you deeply, but no matter how gut-wrenching their story is, it will stay with you forever because their story is one of a kind and without a doubt the deepest, most heartbreaking story out of the Devil’s Night series. This story gutted me, broke my heart, made me tear up and just put me through the wringer. It also surprised me in the best way possible, which was so refreshing, because a lot of stories are predictable. Not this one.
Penelope Douglas always finds a way to surprise me and she not only surprised me over and over again, but she also shocked me. She shocked me SO good, some of the biggest revelations felt like a slap to the face because I did not see them coming AT ALL. It seriously made the whole experience that much better. I really enjoyed the fact that I never knew what each character’s next move was going to be and that I couldn’t predict all the twists and turns this incredible story was going to take. It was all one very crazy ride and I did not want to get off once I climbed aboard. Why? I’ll tell you why. Damon.
Damon was the biggest villain of them all in Corrupt and Hideaway. He honestly scared the most out of all the horsemen, but in Kill Switch, his villainous side took a step back and out came his heroic side, making him the best anti-hero of all time. He went from being my least favorite horsemen to one of my favorites. I have to say, he and Michael are tied in first place now, which I did not expect at all.
I especially didn’t expect to like Damon very much when I started Kill Switch. If anything, I thought I would tolerate him at most, but I didn’t think I would be his biggest fan, because what he did in Corrupt was almost unforgivable. Almost being the keyword. ;) But Damon showed me that there is so much more to him and easily made me fall for him and all that he is. The good and the bad. I loved it all because it made him, him.
Through Kill Switch, Douglas proved that she can make me and so many others fall for characters who may seem like they have no redemption, but they do. And the fact that Douglas was able to do that makes me want to bow down to her. Seriously, this woman has a way with words. No matter what I read from her, I’m hooked from the very first page but the Devil’s Night series has to be my favorite work of hers. It is unlike anything I’ve ever read. I wish it could go on forever and ever, but sadly, there is only one more book to go and then it’s over. I’m not crying, you are. I’m totally crying.
The Devil’s Night series is the series I never knew I needed in my life and now that I’ve devoured the first three books, I can’t get enough of it. I want more, so much more, and cannot wait for Will’s story!
I wish everyone would read the Devil’s Night series, but as much as I love this series and want to scream my love for this series to the world, I have to warn you all that this series is not for everyone. It has some very heavy and dark subject matter that some people may not like reading, so if you’ve never delved into dark romance and are looking to start here, I would suggest starting with Corrupt first. That’s just my suggestion but do whatever feels right to you. I just hope everyone loves this story as much as I did because Kill Switch was seriously amazing! At least, I think so. :P
Kill Switch was one my most anticipated reads of 2019 and it did not disappoint. Not one bit. This story was everything and is by far my favorite read of 2019. I will be thinking of Damon and Winter’s story for quite some time. *Sighs* I seriously love Damon and Winter and think their story is deserving of not five stars but SIX! Some may disagree with this, but I feel this beautifully written story deserves all the stars and give it six freaking stars!
