Review: THE DEVIL AND DAYNA DALTON by Brit Lunden


Dayna Dalton was sick of her life. She was tired of all the drinking and shoddy one-night stands. Apparently, she had no shame at all. So why did she feel like she was punishing herself? Regardless, the girl had no fear.

“Dayna knew she had a way with guys, could get them to do anything she wanted, but somehow Clay was different. She had a built-in reputation, care of her mama. Didn’t matter if she was free with herself or not; she was Becky Dalton’s white-trash daughter, and that was enough for the town.” (17)

All Dayna ever wanted was Clay, but when he didn’t return her affections, she bounced from guy to guy with an empty feeling. Men meant nothing to her. But when Clay’s marriage went under, he became fair game.

Dayna certainly had a dark side, certainly a possessive one when it came to Clay. I mean, she was practically obsessing over him, watching every move he made.

Then an attack in the woods leaves her confused and disoriented. Was it a wolf? Or…was it something else?

The writing was good, and I liked that there was an air of mystery and darkness. The direction of the story certainly alluded to some bigger force beyond comprehension; however, the plot remains ambiguous. You don’t really know what’s going on. All we have is a voice that speaks to Dayna.

Overall, this was a decent read.

My rating: 3 stars
