The Devil You Know (Nick Englebrecht #1) by K.H. Koehler
Not only does the Devil have an only begotten son, but he’s currently residing in the rural town of Blackwater in northeast Pennsylvania. Semi-retired from law enforcement, the handsome, if cynical, Nick Englebrecht becomes quickly caught up in a local missing child case that seems mundane on the outside, but when the sheriff requests his help as a psychic detective to help find the missing girl, his off-the-books investigation quickly leads him to some terrible truths about life, love and the universe as we know it. And if that isn’t bad enough, the angels have begun an ethnic cleansing of all beings with demonic blood. Of course, Nick is at the top of their to-do list.
The Devil Dances (Nick Englebrecht #2) by K.H. Koehler
You want to know something about me? Something important? When I was a kid, I used to read a lot of , I used to read a lot of comics. I watched all the TV shows. Hell, I wanted to be a superhero. Then one day I grew up, and I learned I wasn’t the Lone Ranger. I’m not Spider-Man or Captain-Fucking-Marvel. I’m not a good man, and I never will be. My name is Nicholas Englebrecht and I’m the heir to hell. I’m the Angel-breaker. I’m the goddamn son of the fucking devil and you should know that if you piss me off, things are going to go very bad for you…
Nick Englebrecht is lured to a strange, isolated Amish colony by the mysterious death of a nameless young man. It’s supposed to be a simple enough investigation. Find the kid’s family. Find out what happened to him. But when you’re the devil’s kid, with angels and demons gunning for you at every turn, things have a habit of turning bad fast. Before Nick knows it, he’s up to his ass in bodies, femme fatales, and ancient, bloodthirsty gods with a taste for human flesh.

****My Personal Review of The Devil You Know****
I am a huge fan of paranormal novels, and this did not let me down! Nick is an awesome character with so much depth - he may be the son of the devil, but he is so much more complex than just that detail. Nick hates his father and hates who he is but accepts it while still attempting his very best to keep his humanity intact.
This is an awesome read, very intense and can get a little confusing at times so you have to keep up and be alert while reading it :)
I love Nick but I also love Vivian as a character, she is so striking and although we don't get into her mind like we do with Nick, the reader is able to see how complex her character is and her unfailing love for Nick is always there and guides her.
Just a warning - this book does have some adult themes and strong language so take that into consideration when reading :)
Overall I would definitely give this book 5 stars, a truly heart-pounding paranormal read!
**I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**

****My Personal Review of The Devil Dances****
Again Nick is awesome! I had no clue what the title of this novel meant until the scene where Nick dances against his own wishes! It was hilarious :) I laughed at this novel, but it also was intense and heartbreaking at the same time. I loved how the author brought the Amish community into this paranormal world - it is something you don't see happen often! I still love how Nick is trying to keep his humanity intact and not Ascend as his father wishes him to do. In this novel we find out a lot more about the relationship between Nick and the devil (his father). And we also find some startling revelations that are extremely unexpected! Watching Nick struggle to grasp onto the threads of his relationship with Vivian is difficult to read because by now the reader knows just how much in love they really are. And the reader finds that the love is tested by the events in the book and it was very difficult for me to read. I was very moved by the ending of this book and can't wait to read the next installment to find out what happens next for Nick and Vivian!
