“You didn’t force me. Against my better judgment, and despite all the therapy sessions and spells, I just couldn’t help myself. You’re like crack to my heart.” His gaze narrowed. “Did you just compare me to a highly addictive, dangerous drug?” “Yes.” “Mon amour.”

“So a little pain on our quest was good. But I had to promise to not let you get killed.” “I didn’t think Lucifer cared.” “He doesn’t.” Of course not. “My dad,” Adexios stated with assurance. Blonde hair went whipping from side to side. “Try again. You’re close.” “You listened to my mom?” His exclamation emerged a tad high-pitched. “Why the hell would you do that?”

Lusty adventures, twists and turns, plus a matchmaking Lucifer in this twisted version of Hell.

Big deal, so he kept losing the oar. It wasn’t Adexios fault the Styx monsters were working against him, but tell that to his dad. Charon is determined to make a man out of him—whether his mother likes it or not—and Lucifer has offered to help. Help means sending Adexios in to the wilds of Hell with an Amazon warrior as his companion.

The savage fighter doesn’t know what to think of her geeky partner. Adexios attracts Valaska with his brains instead of brawn. He also shows a cunning courage she can’t help but respect.

They’ll need all the skills they can muster, though, if they’re going to prevail against the newest threat to Hell. With the wilds submerged by seawater, and monsters hungry for flesh, they’ll have to fight to stay alive, and learn opposites not only attract, they explode. (With passion, not guts, in case that wasn’t clear.)

Can be read as a stand-alone but better in series order “This is a great addition to the Welcome to Hell Series. Adexios, “Dex”, is our hero, and is a nice change from the other males in most of Ms. Langlais’ books. Instead of her usual take-charge, kill-them-first-ask-questions-later type, Dex is charmingly clumsy and more of a thinker.”

It’s got a OhEmGee ending “Adexios is smart, educated and a complete disappointment to his parents. Son of Charon, he’s expected to follow in his dad’s footstep.”
