Doomed (Ancient Legends #2)
by
Jayde Scott (Goodreads Author)
Enter a paranormal world of dark magic, rituals, love bonds and legends…
Fallen angel Cassandra wasn't supposed to fall in love with Dallas. It should've been just a bit of fun she couldn't resist. The bond they share could save her from her curse before she's forever bound to Hell. Trouble is, she's Lucifer's daughter and Dallas is mortal, and mortals don't survive in Cas...more

This must be the most original book I have read. It even made my heart stop at some point from shock. I only thought omg, omg, but heck! I wanted MORE of it. I just had to read the whole thing again. Beelzebub Girl is even better than the first book. Cassandra has a light and dark nature to her, be prepared that this book is sad and funny. Dramatic to read but so fricking addictive. I couldn't put it down. The writing is so captivating and every page left me clinging for more. The story is so di...more
I've read A Job From Hell and liked it (see my review), so naturally I picked up the second book in the series. This one started where the other stopped but from a different perspective. The story evolves around Cassandra and Dallas, so you don't necessarily have to have read the first book to find your way around easily.
When Lucifer's daughter, Cassandra, meets Dallas they're immediately drawn to one another through the ancient bond they share, one spun by fate. Cassandra's summoned by her fat...more

Did you ever have a book that you first didn't want to read, but you started it nevertheless and you end up putting it on your top shelf and recommending it? This is the kind of book.
It's awesome. Really. It's awesome and
It was mindblowing, frickin fantastic.
And Dallas.
Don't get me started. He is hot. caring. funny. He plays the game well as I found out in book 3.
He really surprised me. What he has with Cass is special.

Okay this is going to be a short review because I didn't really like this book that much.
This is kind of a continuation of Jayde Scott's other book A Job From Hell except it focuses on the relationship between Cass (daughter of Lucifer) and Dallas (Amber's brother). It was a good book, the story is very interesting, and original. And I like how it ties into A Job From Hell but at the same time you wouldn't have to read them in any order to understand the books. I like how they are connected, bu...more

This is a very poorly written story. The errors are extremely distracting and the grammar is, at times, aweful. There are missing words repeated paragraphs and contradictions galore. The idea behind the story was okay,not great but tolerable, however, it was so poorly executed, it was difficult to finish the story. I wouldn't read this again. The swooning after knowing someone for all of two minutes annoyed me, the moving in together after an hour long conversation annoyed me, the "let's get mar...more
This.Book. I. Will. Never. Forget
The story was interesting because of so many things happening. Dad and daughter engaged in some family drama. And not any dad. Lucifer himself. This was something new for me. I found Cass as the devil's daughter charismatic and funny with a very big heart. Whatever she gets in her head, she wants to do it and when her eyes fall on pretty boy Dallas, a mortal and her friend's brother, her father is obviously not pleased, especially when his daughter has every inte...more

Even though Beelzebub Girl & the Ancient Legends Series is brimming with vampires, fallen angels, and demons, Jayde Scott continues to do a great job at creating and MAINTAINING an original story-line that will keep readers coming back again and again (as evidenced by the wonderful reviews being posted).
When I read A Job From Hell, I was intrigued by Cassandra's (Cass) character. Because of this interest, I was thrilled to find that Beelzebub Girl featured Cass. Like Melissa Marr's Wicked Lo...more

Beelzebub Girl, the second book in the Ancient Legends series, did not disappoint, but I recommend readers to read the first book so they know why things must be happening this way and not take a different direction. I could imagine otherwise things might be too confusing since there's a love story but not a predictable ending per se.
In this book, Cassandra finds out she has a bond with a human- Dallas, but this is not the problem. As Lucifer's daughter she has more to fight against, more enemi...more

I was excited to get my hands on this book! I had read book one and was hooked. I had met Cass and Dallas in `A Job From Hell' and LOVED their characters.
To the world, Cass is like any other teenage girl. She has lots of friends, loves to shop, and has a great job in customer service. But she hides a deep dark secret from the mortal world-she is half demon, half angel...and Lucifer's daughter.

Ugh I did not like this book as much as a Job from Hell. This book was in Cass' POV and about her and Dallas' bond, but seriously they meet again go on 1 date and decide to move in together it just moved to fast. Then there is Dallas who believes everything Cass tells him such as her dad runs Disneyland but really is Lucifer and so here Dallas is walking into Disney and all of a sudden they teleport to hell and are surrounded by dead trees and boulders, and Dallas sees a Volcano erupt yeah it is...more

Plot:
This book, is pure genius guys! It's totally worth the $2.99 on Amazon! I am not a big fan of paranormal romance, but I tell you, this book will suck you in even if you're not a fan of the genre!
Okay, so, now that I have calmed down enough to compose my thoughts, I'll tell why you HAVE to read this book.
First of all, Cass! But that shouldn't be discussed in the plot section, so... Second of all, humor! Seriously, this book had me cracki...more

I received this book from Jayde Scott and I have to say that I loved this story. I really liked Cassandra’s character in the first book ‘A job from hell’ but I love her in this book even more.
On the outside Cass looks like your average teenage girl, she’s fun, quirky, hilarious, loves shopping and loves her job as a customer consultant, but what most people don’t know about her is that she is anything but average; not only is her mother an angel but her dad just happens to be Lucifer. Cass enjoy...more

MY REVIEW
I was gifted this book by Jayde Scott as a thankyou for reviewing Bk#1 in the Ancient Legend Series and in exchange for an honest review.
The cover makes me initially think of "turmoil" and "water", the girl on the cover looks lonely and rather "sorry for herself" So after reading the book, what do I think? I think the girl on the cover is Theo who is described as alone and depressed etc. I won't say why as I consider that a spoiler! The rather grey surroundings I think are portraying Di...more

I love the series with burning passion! This book was easily the best of the series! It was so suspenseful, and surprising! I would reccommend this to anyone, but read the other book first so that you get some background information what happened! The ending was amazing and totally unexpected! I really want to know when the next book will come out... With an ending like that, I want the next one soon! Read it and you will understand!!
I found Beelzebub Girl/Doomed to be very enjoyable! The main concept of this is intriguing and original. We met Cass and Dallas in "A Job from Hell" but Doomed develops them out rather nicely. Cass has been given the job of making the family business more appealing to the general public, you know the "it" spot...only problem, her father is the fallen angel Lucifer and the family business is hell.

This wasn't your usual take on paranormal romance. It was a dark, gothic read with different paranormal elements such as reapers and fallen angels. I'm not one to sum up the plot because it's usually been done before, so I'll just focus on the various elements. This is certainly a well written, fast paced read, about 350 print pages long, with lots of action but also new paranormal elements. We have two vampires but they don't drink blood or avoid the sun, and we barely get to see them. The whol...more
I was really enthralled by this series and enjoyed it immensely. So would I recommend it: yes!!! Would I reread it: Yes, double yes!!!! The plot is fantastic, the writing beautiful, the characters very likable. I just love Cassandra. She can be a quite a bad bad bad girl, very naughty- but oh so sweet. I just love her and want to invite her to my morning brunch!!! Some people might take stars off for her behaviour. I don't because I realize that no two people are the same and what I find irresis...more
What would you do if you were a dark princess, child of parent angels, and everyone expects you to act as one but all you want is just be normal? What would you do if your father were Lucifer who expects you to run the family business- hell and you just prefer to be a customer representative? To which lengths would you go if you fell in love with a mortal and you know that different worlds lie between you and him, worlds that don't include just status or money? Would you give up on him once you...more
The first book in this series was a quick read for me and I liked the characters and story line, so I figured I'd go ahead and read the second. This book took FOREVER to get going. There were a few things that were clever, but for the most part, this book was terrible. The huge lie that is fed to Dallas about his location is unbelievable and makes him look like a huge idiot for believing it. If he was 10, maybe, but as a male lead, it made him (and the book) look ridiculous. I also had issues wi...more
I am not a fan of fantasy or paranormal romance, but Ms. Scott's books have changed my mind. Her writing is so lively and fun, her characters so realistic and captivating that I found myself drawn into the stories immediately. After reading the first book I was excited and happy to see the second book come out. Unlike some other books of this genre, the characters in this series feel real to me. And although YA books are aimed at younger audiences, I found myself hooked from the get go. What I p...more
This is a must Summer read!!!If you're new to Jayde Scott, then hang on for a heart pounding author who knows how to get the blood pumping. Looks like the little Amber "Clan" is here again in the second book of the Ancient Legends series and it was all interesting to see them all coming together again: Dallas, Cass, Amber, Aidan. Cass was already my favourite from the first book and she still is my favourite from all. She has the kind of personality I want to have.

I read the first book in this series and wanted to read more, plus the cover of this book really caught my attention. I’m so glad that I bought it because I absolutely love it. I loved Cassandra in the first series so couldn't wait to read this one. I love that she's the daughter of the Devil and her home is Hell. Wonderful. She has to break a curse in order to escape. It’s sort of a Star-Crossed lovers as she falls in love with a mortal. Cass is a cunning little fox and quite hilarious, though...more
Wow, where do I even begin with the series? It's my favourite. 5 stars is simply an understatement. Give it 10! In my opinion, J. Scott has outdone herself this time!
Beelzebub Girl is even better than A job from Hell and yet so completely different, maybe because we are now dealing with a dark angel- who has a different character than Amber, the main character in the first book, and yet she is so vulnerable and innocent in her own way if that's even possible. To understand her is not really our...more

I wasn't a big fan of the first one but I had liked the character that is the main star in this book so I figured I'd give it a shot... bad mistake... this book is way worse than the first one... the story line is plain and really nothing intriguing at all... Cass does nothing but lie constantly to the man that's supposed to be the love of her life... which I guess is understandable since she's the daughter of Lucifer but since she doesn't want to be evil or stuck in hell you think she'd try to...more
After reading the first book in the series, I had high expectations for the second book which were fulfilled but in a different way than I expected. To know your way around this book, you need to have read the first one, A Job From Hell, otherwise I fear you won't know who everyone is. With the Shadows popping up halfway through and Aidan and Amber arriving in hell to tie in on the last book's ending, you're better off by pushing this one aside until you have read the first. This said, I thought...more
Cassandra was my favourite character from the previous book and she didn't disappoint in this one. I enjoyed getting to know her a little better and finding out more about her life in hell, about Lucifer and the demon ranks. I didn't expect Dallas to be the one for her but after I got over the initial shock (I thought it'd be Kieran because they had so much spark), I really got into the plot which kept me guessing and the romance part was well-developed. It was intense, twisted and very original...more
I almost peed myself laughing. The book was great. Lucifer's daughter shares a bond with a mortal. This bond is not just ordinary. It's a soulmate connection that is cursed and (hardly) blessed by the fates. Although I would have loved to read more romance between them, I also enjoyed Cassandra's attempts to break her curse and to run away from her family obligations. I found her father rather nice, a little overbearing, but still angelic.

This book was horrible! I bought it thinking it would be awesome: It had 5 stars for God sakes! And I was so terribly disappointing! There were huge holes in the plot, the main character was such a liar i made me cringe, her boyfriend was completely stupid not to question anything, there was almost no romance, parts of the plot hardly connected back to each other..... I could probably keep going for a while, the book was really that bad. I implore you, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! Despite being only 2...more
I don't like the cover, but I tried this book anyway, because I liked the first one. The first part seems slow and I didn't understand how Cass could move in so fast with Dallas. However, Cass is the devil's daugher. of course she does things in a crazy way. There is a bond between her and Dallas. I expected a good romance, but what I got is a little more than that. there is drama, heartbreak. I cried so much when Cassandra is faced with her curse.
Even although she is the daughter of the devil,...more

Cassandra has been a wonderful character- She is one of my favourites because her voice is strong and it's very easy to see her in my mind.
As the devil's daughter, she was a fresh breath of air: On the one side, she fears his safety ( she is the dark princess after all and her father -the devil-could punish Dallas and her enemies could kill him). She goes as far as to lie to protect him.
On the other side, she wants to bend the rules and change her destiny. She is a real fighter. And is ready to...more
