Lots of other things altogether made for a really compelling and believable representation of hell. There is even a ‘vomitorium’ in restaurants so that people can be as glutinous as they want without the ‘problem’ of becoming full. In a normal situation you hope the the person will come through fairly on their promise – but obviously that won’t be the case here. There are so many other clever things – such as making all the characters there highly self-centred. There are plenty of clubs where people spend eternity doing all the bad things and all the people we see in these clubs are horrible, rude, lecherous, and just generally the type of person you’d avoid. It’s so weirdly accurate of everything that you imagine it to be.

The way that Adornetto has created this representation of Hell is incredibly clever. It’s safe to say that this was actually my favourite book in the series (At the time of writing this I’ve already read book 3, Heaven). And they’re under the pump because Jake, still obsessed with the idea that Beth is his soul mate, wants to keep her forever and make her he is queen, *shudders*. This is a situation that has just about never happened before which obviously poses some pretty serious challenges for Ivy and Gabriel – oh, and of course Xavier. It’s up to her to stay strong and keep away from the weirdly possessive Jake and wait for her rescuers to sort out a plan. Mr Jake No-Good is back and is up to his tricks, but this time he’s managed to kidnap Beth into Hell. If you’re not sure whether to continue the series then I highly recommend that you do! Now, if you haven’t read Halo (book one) yet then leave now or be spoiled.Īfter the explosive events of book one, we dive back into trouble again and get to see the underworld. If you’re a fan of fantasy or books with angels in them then I definitely recommend checking this series out. It also has some really interesting character and the story itself was fabulous. This series has to be one of my favourites for its awesome representation of Heaven and Hell. I really enjoyed this as a sequel to Halo.

Excuse me whilst I don’t sleep as I reach for book three. Omg, I’m just loving this series so much. I love how often I was surprised with how much I was enjoying things – and how things always end up being more serious or dramatic than you first anticipated.
