****First two books in the series, Pandora's Box and Hell's Phoenix, are MUST reads or you will be terribly confused!!!!****
Victory is hollow when fate maneuvers one as a pawn.
Madison’s mission is complete. Nix is rescued from Hell and her son safe from his dark destiny. But as she rests in the safe harbor of Nix’s love, her demonic husband warns of a murderous plot. Can she trust that it’s the truth and not another scheme to claim her for Hell’s throne?
Sometimes internal conflict can house our biggest demons.
With allies divided and prophecy heralding defeat, Madison gambles on Micah’s tenuous honor to keep their son protected. Torn between her heart’s desires and her dark requirements, Madison worries her hellish fate cannot be avoided. When betrayal comes from an unlikely direction, all their futures may be damned. In the darkest hour of Madison’s life, an undeniable providence will transpire. Who can she trust? And how far will she fall to defeat her foes?
Amid the rubble of defeat, will Hell’s Genesis Queen dawn?
I’m a Southern princess—haha—nah! I am Southern, but I came from the wrong side of the tracks in a small Alabama town, just 30 minutes from the Florida state line. I have a dirty mind and I’m not afraid to use it. I live in a small rural town on 40 acres with my husband, dogs, a cat with tortitude (aka a tortie American Bobtail with attitude), cows, horses, and chickens. Everyone seems to love my twang even though I don’t hear it. Are y’all sure I have one?
I love all things paranormal and I drop curse words like commas, so I’m not your typical Southern Belle. All the same... Sweet Home Alabama, y’all!

OMG!!! FREAKIN AMAZING!!! My favorite of the series.... These were my first thoughts after reading Genesis Queen. I am always surprised to see where Gracen Miller is going to take us, and let me say, she carried out another highly sensuous and EXPLOSIVE tale in this WICKEDLY DARK installment of the Road to Hell series... A MUST READ SERIES!!!
Hell to the yeah! That seriously sums up my review of this final book in The Road To Hell Trilogy. I had no idea how Gracen could possibly wrap this story. There was so much going on in both the interpersonal relationships and in the main story arc. I was not sure it was possible to write a satisfactory ending that fit with the characters and did not leave me hanging. She nailed it! This story was hot, suspenseful, funny, endearing, frustrating, heart wrenching, happy, and action packed. Gracen stepped outside the box and in doing so, created amazing drenched in awesomesauce and topped with spectacular.
If you have not read the other books in this series, this book will probably not make too much sense. there is a super brief synopsis of the other books in the front, but those are more for refreshing readers then bringing new readers up to speed. If you have not read them, I would really start there. I started with the prequel, Madison's Life Lessons and think that it gave me a different perspective on two of the characters than if I started with book one. I think you could start with either and be quite happy with your experience.
If you like dark, steamy, well developed stories where evil is not cut and dry, this series is probably up your alley. Be forewarned. I found them very addictive. I actually own both ebooks and real books for the rest of the series and will be buying the paperback of this book once it becomes available.
EDIT (05/16/15): There's a FOURTH book coming out in june with Mads as the main character, so GQ is NOT the end!!
I can fairly say that I am one of the biggest fans of the series out there. And waiting for Genesis Queen was the worst kind of torture I had ever experienced. Those who say lucky me probably never read these books. So, after NINE months the wait is OVER, because on december 18th, the spectacular, amazing RTH crew will be back for the Epic showdown! The question is...will it live up the expectations?
OVERALL: I liked it, but it wasn't as good as I wanted from the big showdown. Not my favorite in the series, but the new information and the few heartbreaking moments definitely worth the reading. Genesis Queen is a MUST READ. And I still LOVE these characters and the whole series. And give me Zen's book NOW!!
What an amazing and satisfying conclusion to one of my favorite paranormal romance series of the past couple of years.
Gracen Miller never ceases to shock, surprise and entertain me. Having created characters I've come to adore and obsess over, she set the bar pretty high for herself when it came to drawing this saga to a close. Expectations were high from the pack of diehard fans- her Hellhounds. And let me just say she does not disappoint us. Not one for moment.
Gracen has a talent for making the most macabre and horrifying situations so highly erotic and completely captivating. You almost feel embarrassed by the arousal- almost.
Her characters are intense and electrifying. And with the stakes higher than they've ever been, emotions and manipulations are out of control. More lines are drawn and unlikely alliances are made.
What else can I tell you? Expect the unexpected, let your mind run wild, and hang on to your seat. There is so much in this installment you won't see coming. As always with one of Gracen's tales, Genesis Queen is an action packed, sexually charged, roller coaster ride. One you never really want to end.
With introductions to some new characters and the return of our old favorites, the story never lags or feels repetitive. Gracen keeps everything fresh and exciting. A very special, and dear to my heart addition to this book is the inclusion of three poems by Road to Hell fans, myself included. These poems were written before we had access to Genesis Queen and were part of a contest held by the author. The placement of the poems is absolutely perfect and so relevant to the story. I'm very proud of my Hellhound sisters and so grateful to Gracen for giving us the opportunity to shine along with her.
Now that I have the back patting out of the way, I'll conclude my review... With all the speculation over how she could possibly conclude the trilogy- and make everyone happy- could there really be a HEA for our favorites? Is there really a way to bring the balance back between Heaven and Hell?
Well, she doesn't do it quickly- or without pain and suffering, heartache and tears, but I have to say the ending was perfect. Of course I didn't want to see it all end but I also couldn't see it happening any other way. Genesis Queen met and exceeded all my hopes and dreams for Madison.
As with the rest of the series I devoured this book. These characters have been firmly implanted in my heart and will stay with me for a lifetime. Gracen Miller is brilliant, the Road to Hell series a work of art and Genesis Queen- the masterpiece.
Review by Kimmi: I have been reading and falling in love with Paranormal Romance novels for over two decades, In my adult years the three pillars of Paranormal Romance authors have always remained Gena Showalter, Karen Marie Moning, and J.R. Ward. However ladies you have met your match and you don't even know it yet. Gracen Miller has literally FLOORED me. Her "Road to Hell" Series has obliterated my solid foundations and faithful following to worship these authors. There is a new badass in town, and her name is Gracen Miller. This author didn't push me out of my comfort zone, she kicked my ass out of it, and it was an ass kicking I'd take over and over again. Her ability to create phenomenal characters, fantastic imagery, and a story that keeps your knuckles white from gripping your ebook is astounding. And just when you know no more shit can hit the fan, it can't get any worse (or better, hehehehe), Gracen flips the script while flipping you the bird and laughs in your face while patiently awaiting your delight. She does all of this with a devine grace that will torment your safe and sane mind. And in the end of it all, through your cries of victory and your tears of defeat, you realize you just read the BEST DAMN SERIES EVER. Yeah, she is that damn good.
In book 1 "Pandora's Box" and book 2 "Hell's Phoenix" of "The Road to Hell" series (see February reviews) Nix had me in hives he was so hot! There was no one else, only Nix could make Mads happy, safe and pure.
However, Book 3 "Genesis Queen", Book 3 belongs to you Micah, hands down and hats off baby. This review is in Honor of you, Micah ; )
I like to think I don't, but the truth is I have always loved being made wrong. And Micah baby you made me be very, VERY wrong ; ) The ending of this series is as bitter as it is soooo sweet. This was the most fun I have had since I discovered LOTU, and I do not say that lightly. I will reread this series over and over again. 5 + solid GOLD STARS!
If you are reading this and are new to the Road to Hell Series make sure you read Pandora’s Box and Hells Phoenix first or you will be confused they have to be read in order.
Genesis Queen will not disappoint! Wow just wow! I just finished this morning and I think I need a cold shower! Gracen miller will knock your socks off with this last book in the Road to Hell Series. A lot of questions are answered in this book and the ending oh yeah you don’t want to miss it let’s just say that! This book has it all action, betrayal, heartache, suspense, humor and sex. Man this was one HOT read!
Besides Kur, Madison has to be my favorite characters. She would do anything for her son Amos even if that means possibly dying to save him. She’s not perfect by a long shot and maybe that’s why I like her so much! She does the best she can by her family with what she has. Miach grew on me a lot in this book also as we see a side of him I never though was possible! Gracen Miller did an amazing job with this book and I can’t wait till this baby comes out in paperback! I highly recommend this book if you like dark steamy paranormal.
I received an Advanced Readers Copy of Genesis Queen for review. Gracen blew my mind with the first two books in the Road To Hell series but this one is my absolute favorite. I freakin' loved this book!
Her characters, though they are paranormal creatures, are very much real. The way they talk and behave, even the emotional trials they go through, are written in such a way that they bring these characters to life. They are not just some characters in a book but people that you love...or love to hate. What I'm getting at is that she is extremely talented at breathing life to her characters and the world they live in.
Madison and Nix are back from Hell, their relationship is moving along nicely and then Micah comes back to warn of a terrible danger to Madison's life. Is he a reliable source of information or is this one of his many tactics to take her back to Hell to claim her place as Queen? If he tells the truth the who is to be trusted and from where will the betrayal come?
If you have not read Pandora's Box and Hell's Phoenix, start there. They are a must read before beginning Genesis Queen. I enjoyed my Road To Hell and hope you travel it yourself.
I am a huge fan of this series and of Gracen's writing!! I anxiously awaited the arrival of Genesis Queen wondering how the trilogy would end. Would I be disappointed in the final outcome or frustrated with Madison's choices? I was nervous!! All I can say is WOW...Gracen did an AWESOME job and I was very happy with how things ended!! If you have not yet checked out the Road to Hell series and enjoy suspense, frustration, wonderful sarcasm that will keep you laughing, action, and awesome hotness...you NEED to read this addictive series!! I am proud to be a hellhound and cannot wait for some spinoff series books to come out...HINT HINT Gracen!!! Oh you know I will read any of you work so just give me more!!!! :)
A very satisfactory ending! :D All the pieces of the puzzle fell neatly in order and everything was explained! Since I liked all the characters, I loved that at the ending all were alive, well and happy! :D Obviously, Mads ended with both Nix and Micah and, eve if I'm not into threesome, this one felt really good! If I were at Mads place I don't know if I could have chosen diferently! This way it feels right and good! Without problems I would say that I loved this series and I immensely enyoued the fast pacing, the good and intelligent story where the plaot was really complicated and the hot love scenes inserted into the story at just right points. If you want an entertaining, fast paced, hot paranormal romance without insta-love, mate bonds and such, this one is for you!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
As many others have stated you need to read Pandora's Box and Hell's Phoenix before reading Genesis Queen. Of course reading Pandora's box will leave you demanding more, and reading Hell's Phoenix will leave you panting for more. It has been an amazing journey watching the characters develop, grow, and change, and Genesis Queen does not disappoint! I read this book in one setting as I couldn't tear myself away. The characters are real, the emotions are real, the passion is sizzling, and the turmoil will have your stomach in knots! I have come to love the characters in this series and am desperate to see more of them!
In this epic continued Road to Hell series, I can’t get enough of Nix and Micah fighting for the love of Madison. Could you even imagine being allowed to have a choice between the two of them? But when someone is out to end Madison and her son, can Nix and Micah actually work together to keep them from harm? Just amazing how this story goes and how Ms. Miller just keeps you hooked from the moment you pick it up till the end. Her stories stay with you as she is an excellent example of what an author should be.
OMG OMG OMG this was the PERFECT ending to a PERFECT series! NO LIE! This series is just super amazing! See my full reviews on www.forbiddenreviews.com!!!
I was going to post a character interview and decided to do this instead. I want to tell you what this series has meant to me.
I met Author Gracen Miller on Facebook. Pandora's Box was not even out yet. Gracen was not only putting the finishing touches on Pandora's Box, but was posting weekly snippets of Madison's Life Lessons. There was quite a group of us "hellhounds" that could not WAIT each week for Gracen to post that MLL snippet. That was my first look into what is now the Road to Hell series. I was HOOKED from the first paragraph. NO LIE! I fell in love with the writing, the characters, the setting, the story line and the author. NO LIE! It was so cool not only getting to know Gracen as an author but also as an amazing friend (not to mention AMAZINGLY TALENTED)!
The world that Gracen created with characters Micah, Phoenix, Madison and all the rest of the cast of the series brought me not only closer to Gracen but to a very special group of gals known as The Hellhound Mafia. Fans of the series are lovingly nicknamed Hellhounds and are faithful followers of the series. We have a BLAST discussing characters, who is on what team (TEAM MICAH ALL THE WAY) and just enjoying the what if's of the storyline. I love my hellhound sisters and I am honored to have met them. It is SIMPLY amazing the friendships that you can form over a book series!
I could not have wished for a better series. Gracen held a poetry contest when Hell's Phoenix was published. She asked for a poem to sum up how we thought Genesis Queen would be. I was one of the three winners of the poetry contest. My poem was turned into song lyrics for our heroine Madison to sing in the book AND I also extended the original poem into a full song. The full song lyrics are PUBLISHED in the Genesis Queen. One of the coolest moments of my blogging life for SURE!!! The band name is Devideus (divide us/if you know the series, you will understand why) and the lead singer's name is Sassy, my hellhound nickname.
This series is AMAZING. I really cannot say much more than that about it. Author Gracen Miller has taken good vs evil, heaven vs hell and love vs hate to an ALL NEW LEVEL!!!!
First and foremost, You must Read the First two books in the Road to Hell Series (Pandora's Box & Hells Phoenix ) before you read Genesis Queen, or you will be confused.
Once again Mad's life is in total turmoil. Micah, whom she had stabbed, still loves her and wants to be with her, yet she has promised to commit to Nix. And of course her Lynx wants them both. But with her and Amos's lives in danger, both men vow to protect them.
While they are trying to keep Madison and Amos safe, the one person they never suspected or expected, takes her and torments her.
With her life once again on the line, her two hereo's come to save her, and not only is her life saved, but she finds herself in bed with Micah then later in the wet, steamy, shower with both men that take her and satisfy her Lynx wonderfully. But she soon realizes that they both have a piece of her heart, but how will she ever choose between them? Nix and Micah both love her, they both please her sexually and neither her nor her Lynx can hold back from either of the sexy men. They take her climaxes to a whole other level of satisfaction, but when it comes time for Mad's to make her decision, not only will it completely boggle them, but the news she has to tell them will forever effect all of their futures.
I Love this series, I would recommend it to anyone who is over 18 and likes steamy, hot, erotica with adventure and an amazing twist !!!
Gracen Miller is a Wonderful Author, and I have enjoyed all of her books !! She never disappoints.
Okay I have oogled some book covers (no I'm not afraid to admit it) but I find myself oogling this one every time, I mean look at those two HOT male bodies, I'm still trying to figure out which belongs to who...I think the one on the right belongs to Phoenix as it has a tattoo, and the one on the right is Micah. Alright on to the review!! Talk about hee-man shit in this book, Micah and Nix fighting over Maddie it's kinda strange yes both love her in their own unique way, but going all barbarian is just plain wrong. I applaud Maddie for speaking her mind in this book, she's grown since book one and two, and I truly like the person she has become, everything that she has been through was to keep her son safe. I love how she stands up to Micah and Nix for going all barbaric, "FYI to both of you...I am my own person. I make the decision who I build a relationship with, not either one of you. So can the caveman bulls**t. I will not tolerate it." I really do love the way Gracen writes and the events in this book just like the previous have me gasping and yelling at every other page. All I can say is there better be another book in this series!
Oh, where am I to begin on this review: the good, or the bad or the H-O-T???
Best Part of the Book: It is true that you MUST read the first two books before reading this one. If not, you will have NO CLUE what is going on. However, let me just say this about Genesis Queen........AWESOME, AMAZING and PERFECTION!! Of all the books in the series this one is my favorite.
Mads, Nix and Micah are all back (and in perfect form). I was so worried on how this installment of the series would go. There was so much going on that I was thinking it was going to be "too much". However, Gracen Miller does perfection with this story.
Its really hard for me to pick the "best" of the book is and I don't want to spoil anything, so I will say this:
THE ENDING IS PERFECT!! NIX IS HOT!! MICAH IS HOT!! MADISON IS PERFECT!!
Yep, I don't need to say anything else!!
Not so great about the book: *sniff* it's over! I want Gracen to write more! Everyone must read this series!!
Only you, Gracen Miller, could make a King of Hell cry!
There are some things I can usually predict in books, but then other times I just read parts of the story that make me go, "Huh?" And yes, Gracen Miller has managed to do both with "Genesis Queen". Highly erotic (more so than her previous books) and at times very emotional, this story kept me engrossed all the way until the end.
All of the Road to Hell characters were written with such diversity throughout this book, that it was difficult to choose what outcome I wanted. It was great the way the characters portrayed parts of themselves that you just didn't know was possible. Every new aspect helped to keep the story moving.
Somehow, I just don't think this is the end of The Road to Hell for Gracen Miller...
10*s. I received an eARC copy of this book directly from the author in return for an honest review.
WOW!! OMG!! This by far my favorite one in the Series yet!! So much was covered in this final book that, it was just crazy. I am totally floored by how it ended!! The whole book was just magnificent and fabulous. When I started this book, I had not a clue where this author would take us or sum up the ending and I was just shocked into speechlessness!! This is a MUST read story that will suck you in and won't let you go. It's dark, sexy, mysterious, and just....WOW. I highly recommend that you read this marvelous series if you haven't yet!!
The sex scenes totally covered up what could have been a very satisfying series. The story finally came together okay but I had to wade through several 5-page sexual encounters to get there. I think Ms. Miller could have spent more time developing the storyline & less on the explicit sex scenes to give the readers a good read. I am disappointed.
When someone or something threatens Mads and Amos's lives new alliances must be made. Trusting previous enemies is hard for everyone. Loyalties are proven and broken. Boundaries are pushed and more sacrifices are made in the name of protecting Mads and Amos. Mads continues to struggle with her decision over which man she wants. An emotionally graphic suspenseful ride. Looking forward to finishing the story with book four.
Oh my God, I cannot find the words to describe how much I love this author's writing. This series captivates you from the very beginning and you just cannot put it down. You just need to read it start to finish.
Miller makes you root for the bad guy even as you hate his guts! That's genius wtiting in my book
I swear I love this series can't believe it took me so long to rave about the book I thought I already had. But if you haven't had the chance to read the road to hell series you are missing out on one hell of an adventure grace knows how to hook you and keep you on the edge of your seat must read series!
this is a unique turn on the last few books where she's trying to run from her king of Hell husband to falling in love with Nix and having two guys love her unconditionally and I want her to choose who will you choose how to read the book see it's amazing
Yep, just as I thought. Gracen took me on another roll-a-coaster ride. All I can say is that I have come to love the characters in this story and cant wait to read more about them!
