Product Information

When a new hellbreed comes calling, playing nice isn't an option. Jill Kismet has no choice but to seek treacherous allies - Perry, the devil she knows, and Melisande Belisa, the cunning Sorrows temptress whose true loyalties are unknown.

Kismet knows Perry and Belisa are likely playing for the same thing--her soul. It's just too bad, because she expects to beat them at their own game. Except their game is vengeance.

Nobody plays vengeance like Kismet. But if the revenge she seeks damns her, her enemies might get her soul after all...

Publishers Weekly

Jill Kismet's fifth go-round with the big bad demons (after 2009's Flesh Circus) is identical in all essentials with the first four. The story rides on snappy, noirish narration, melancholy musings, and gory hand-to-hand combat. Jill's scar throbs. Jill's clothing shreds. Jill's silver crackles. Jill's soul is in peril. It's difficult to see why this series is sometimes classified as urban fantasy or paranormal romance: a more appropriate categorization would be Christian horror. Jill's Were lover, Saul, is a tacked-on excuse for angst. The focus is on the demon hellbreed, and both Jill and the plot put everything else aside to wallow in the bloody imminence of damnation. Like a blockbuster movie franchise, the formula is a cheap thrill--once. A warning, too: while it generally doesn't matter which book in the series one reads first, this one has a major cliffhanger. (Nov.)

You need to know exactly what you’re in for when you read a Jill Kismet story. If you’re prepared for relentless action, violence and tragedy and demonic attacks then you’ll be able to deal with these and appreciate the wonderful character of Jill Kismet and the fine writing in this series.

Heaven’s Spite is the second to last book in this series and really should be considered part one of the ending (you know, the dark before the dawn bit and yes, this is DARK) with Angel Town the conclusion. I think it would be better to hold off on reading Heaven’s Spite until Angel Town is out, just so you don’t throw the book across the room at the cliffhanger ending, but if you can’t bear to wait, simply be prepared for the adrenaline to build and build and … then … sorry, can’t tell you!

If you want a relaxing read – look elsewhere! The pace is so frantic and Jill’s timeframe for hunting down demons and traders so short that I had a case of burnout halfway through the book and needed to put it aside and have a strong cup of tea and a lie down. Then of course braced myself and plunged back into this demonic-noir thriller. Because this is a compelling story of a desperate woman battling evil and it’s an incredibly gripping book.
