“In four centuries roaming this earth, I have never loved a woman the way I love you, Jane.” – Barnaby Blackstone
Good Lord, what was this prequel?!?! And here I was, always hesitant about the stories before everything in a series "really" began! Well, OK, except in this case, because Barnaby was a secondary character who played a major role in the four other Indebted getting free - I needed to know his story!

This novella has a very intriguing premise that stands out amongst the sea of paranormal tales out there. David’s well developed concept of the Indebted not only had me intrigued throughout this story but also set the series up well. The novella itself was well written with a plot that had me on pins and needles throughout. Vivid descriptions combine with intense storytelling to create a whole that I didn’t simply read, but also experienced.

This was ok but not well developed. There is no progression of the relationship. They're literally together two times before they decide they're in love & going to be together. This is a prequel but a little confusing till about 75% because I didn't really know what Barnaby was. It felt like I should've read the full length novels first. Not a bad book but not great either.

I'm so sorry this series has ended but now we read how it began, at least for these characters.
Although this is called a 'Prequel', I feel it should be read last.
This story is all about Barnaby and Jane, and there subsequent relationship. They meet the first time in Vietnam (in communications) and later (1974) in the Haight section of San Francisco, where he feels her presence-- in an insane asylum. Seems she is one of the 'new' women recruited to be in the DEA, the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Jillian's Hell to Pay series is one of my absolute favorites and to get Barnaby's story finally is so bittersweet. She says she is now done with series, so a hole is left in my reading list now. The story does not disappoint in any way whatsoever. Barnaby is at his finest hour, full strength as an Indebted with a heart of gold.

Great ending to this series. This book would NOT have been nearly as enjoyable if I hadn't read the first 3 books. For that reason, even though it's a prequel, I recommend readers read this book last. It's so much more satisfying to see what Barnaby's past was like. His character makes so much more sense having seen him through the first 3 books in the series. Sad and hopeful. Hot and tender. Would have loved to spend more time with Barnaby and Jane. 4.5 stars

Flame’s Dawn by Jillian David is a prequel to her Hell to Pay series.
I have read the whole series, and loved it, so I inhaled the next chapter of this series.
This is about Barnaby. Having read this series so far, I know how this ends. And it’s a great story. We hear so much about Barnaby through the other books in the series, and how he interacts with the other characters, it was great to read his story. Only downside …… It wasn’t long enough

3.5/5.0
This paranormal romance takes a fresh approach to the demon-lover scenario with a man who sells his soul to the devil and becomes an indebted killer.

Award-winning author Jillian David lives near the end of the Earth with her nut of a husband and her bossy cats. To escape the sometimes-stressful world of the rural physician, she edits while on call and writes books in her free time. She enjoys taking realistic settings and adding a twist of “what if.” Running or hiking on local trails often promotes plot development.
