BLURB:
Safe to say Achim’s life wasn’t going as planned.
First, his mission for the fire goddess ended up with him—a hellhound who’d never actually been to hell—being sent precisely there. Worse, he found himself stuck in the strange hellscape with Ozias, a guy who’s a) hotter than the fire of both suns in the hell-realm, b) really, really likable, despite his arrogance, and c) oh yeah, the actual prince of hell.
Their connection comes in handy, though, when a demon escapes into the human realm and Ozias is sent to track it down. With magic fluctuating wildly around them, the hellhound pack is run ragged trying to keep the supernatural world a secret from the humans… especially since Achim is just a wee bit distracted keeping his mind and hands off the gorgeous-but-cocky prince.
But when the strange forces wreaking havoc on the human realm attempt to drive Achim and Ozias apart… well, that’s when things get really messed up. Because if they think they’re gonna keep a hellhound from the guy who might just be his mate…
They’re gonna watch all hell break loose.
REVIEW:
First off, I have to say if any of you have not read this series, be shamed. Lol Just kidding. But truly you should. It’s one of those that has just pretty much everything you need in a book. Hot men, action, magic, evil, goodness, and everything in between. And this one has some mystery to it as some of the others have, so it’s made it a little more intriguing as some new people have made themselves known as well. Also, if you haven’t read this series, please be aware it intertwines with the other series called The Chosen One, and one or two of these books are in an order with those before these. So make sure you look up the order. If you’re like me, you will NOT be disappointed. If you have read this series up to this point, this book just takes the cake. I was waiting for Achim’s story and it is definitely a doozy.
Achim, in a lot of ways, is the more quiet of the bunch. And that’s not saying much, considering this crew lol. But he’s also the one that is a jump first, ask questions later kind of guy. So when his sigil from the Goddess is actually burning him, which it never does, he knows something is very, very wrong and jumps through a portal that is not his color. It’s no longer a flame of red, it is solid icy blue. When he comes out the other end, he is not prepared for who and what he finds. I wasn’t either to be honest, but in this series, you never know what you’re going to find. And Achim found something he never thought he would. But I’ll let you read to find out what. Because it will blow your mind. But one thing that Achim has on his side, is when he does finally get back to the Earth realm, having the Prince of Hell, yes the actual Prince, it comes in handy as the title says, all hell breaks loose.
Even Ozias, the Prince of Hell, is not ready for what he’s about to encounter and how it’s going to affect him. He is the Prince of Hell, after all, so what can defeat him. But what I love about this story, is even though they just met, and don’t even really know each other (except they are good in the bedroom kind of thing), they instinctively know they need each other in order to survive and help others survive. They know something isn’t right and they know they will do anything, including dying, in order to keep the other and others safe. Especially when Ozias sees some of the things that have actually been happening.
You would think with him being who he is, he would be cocky and wouldn’t care for anyone else. You know that kind of thing. And don’t get me wrong, Ozias is as cocky as they come. But underneath that ice, sees when wrong is wrong, and has a heart for what has been happening under his nose. Especially when he finds out who has been the one to do it and all those involved and haven’t stopped a thing. And I love that. I love seeing something that is supposed to be considered evil, bowed by two little beings. And he and Achim, it’s amazing the bond they have right off the bat. It makes for an interesting story, especially when they find out the truth of themselves after an incident.
I have loved this series from the get go. I truly have. I love paranormal books anyway, and this series has imprinted why I love them so much. The author has a way of weaving these worlds that make you feel like you are living the story itself. The characters are so flawed but you can’t help but love each and every perfection or flaw they have. Because it makes them who they are. Be it a warrior, a child or a champion, they all have their place in these stories and I can’t imagine not one of them being a part of it. I love being a part of this journey. I hope there are more stories to come in these series.
