But before we get to that fabulous giveaway, let me tell you a little bit about the book and this series.
Hell’s newest employee,
Lilith Straight, thinks she’s got a handle on her job as the Devil’s
temptress until she finds herself going horns-to-halo with a guardian
angel who’s determined to rescue Lilith’s next victim. To make matters
worse, William Darcy, the hottest demon in hell, is trying to undermine
Lilith’s mission with a few temptations of his own.
My Thoughts and Review:
I am going to be brutally honest here,
I didn't love Lilith after reading the first book in the series,
Straight To Hell. She didn't have any redeeming
qualities and she made a lot of really bad and really stupid choices
that just seemed to make her life and the ones she loved harder.
I didn't understand her and I couldn't
relate to her but the I did like the concept of the series and the
writing and still felt myself drawn into the story.
So when I picked up the second book,
Straight To Heaven, I prepared myself to meet Lilith again and to put
up with all the stupidity that I figured would ensue with her story.
So you can imagine my surprise when
with this latest installment in the Lilith Straight series that I
found myself gasp liking Lil. Well, maybe like is still too
strong a word but I did feel myself softening towards her a lot.
I really enjoyed watching her learning
from her mistakes and trying a little harder to make better choices
and to right her past wrongs as well. I think she even managed to
pull off a few redeeming qualities.
I liked the added mystery that was
introduced in this one with Lil's heritage and then of course with
William, Helen and even Mr. Clerk.
I am really looking forward to the next
book to see what happens next. This series truly is getting better
with each new book and yes, I might even say by the third one that I
actually do like Lilith.
Can't wait to see what Mrs. Scott comes
up with next!
I give this one a very solid 4 Stars!!
Please also don't forget to check out the first book in the series, Straight To Hell.
Synopsis:
The moment Lilith
Straight dies, the Devil appears to claim her soul and cash in on a
family curse. Now, Lilith has no choice but to work for him. The job is
bad, the boss is worse and she can’t imagine how she’ll explain her new
reincarnation to her eight-year-old daughter. But then an arrogant, yet
oh so yummy, incubus shows up…and hell heats up just a little more.
And now on to the giveaway!!
