Stonewood Saga #2
Hellfire
Frollo
I’m bound by the vow I made to myself to uphold the honour and sanctity of my church and my village. For years I’ve held onto this promise, never faltering, never succumbing to the whim of sin and desire…that is, until I met her. The sweetest of temptations with a siren’s body and a beautiful soul to match. I can feel myself losing the will, and the strength to uphold my morals. I’m haunted by this woman, this she-devil of desire. I crave her…and I will make her mine, even if I have to burn in hell to claim her.
Quinlan
Esme may have caught the Pastor’s eye, but he’s not the only one, and he's refusing to play fairly. I’m younger, more daring, not to mention willing to go to any lengths to get what I want. He thinks he has the upper hand, but his duty to his village and church is his weakness, and so is she. I know what I have to do, and I’m more than ready.

Story about a priest uncle and creepy nephew chasing after the same clueless girl.
It was okay. Still crazy. But okay.

A dark, dirty and devilishly twisted read.
Hellfire was originally part of the Something Wicked Anthology and gave us a small taste of this story, Ally Vance has expanded and added so much more to Esme, Quinlan and Frollo's journey.
Esme Byrne is new in town, she came to escape not to catch the attention of Pastor Frollo and his nephew Quinlan. Both men want her for themself. Esme is not safe with either of these men. They're both devious and villainous and will stop at nothing to have her.
Being told from the three characters POVs, makes this read more interesting and gives insight into each mind.
If you were intrigued by Hellfire before and were left wanting more, you're in for a real treat with all the dark, enticing suspense and unpredictable action that Ally Vance has added to this hot, sexy as sin, taboo story.

Ally Vance offered a twisted, compelling, and oh so delightfully dark take on an old classic. This definitely isn’t like any I’ve read before! I found myself immersed in her story and oh holy heck. The author definitely elicited all the emotions from me; her characters demanded I feel.
The character development in this is very well done. I had my favorites and I had my I-would-like-to-kick-you characters as well. That’s the best feeling is to have that connection. The author is creating quite the world with this Stonewood Saga.
The storyline had excellent pacing but it doesn’t hold back so be prepared for that. It is unique and one that pushed me at times. The author didn’t just do a retelling but a recreating, reimagining what this story could be like and I fell for every word.
5 stars for a twisted and dark story

Like a grown up version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame with the darkest most delicious twists and turns. My favorite book by Ally Vance was book one of the Stonewood Saga, so I have eagerly been awaiting book two. I don't feel like you need to read one to read the other but I highly recommend it.
In Hellfire, we meet Pastor Frollo, his nephew Quinlan, and the woman who blows their world apart, Esme. The new girl in town, Esme befriends both of these men and what follows is the most toxic, disgusting, and just can't get enough of it, love story. Told from alternating POV's, this story proves that no one...even a man of God...can be saved from Hellfire once the devil invades.
Congratulations yet again, Miss Vance, for once more giving birth to a story the world couldn't live without.

Hold on tight as you immerse yourself into a village with dark secrets and with characters that will intrigue. Hellfire had me wide eyed and my allegiances yo-yoing between Pastor Frollo and his nephew, Quinlan. I love a plot that keeps me guessing and where tensions are high between characters - Hellfire ticks those boxes.
Ms Vance has produced a dark, suspenseful story, which will have you gripped and questioning your own feelings to all the goings-on.

What an amazing retelling of the hunchback of Notre Dame. It is dark, twisted and not at all what you'd expect. I loved how strong and fearless Esme is. She is not your average heroine who easily gives in. I also really enjoyed the love-hate relationship between Frollo and Quinlan. Reading this kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen. I'm really looking forward the the next book in this series.

What an exciting story I didn't know what was gonna happen next and the characters were unpredictable just how I love it.
I loved Frollo and his addiction to Esme as we know where he stands and Quintan still not sure i trust him but I hope we get more of these three.
This was dark with some explicit scenes so hold on as it starts off with a bang.

Holy now this was a read! Esme was caught between two men who wanted her. I kept going back and forth on which would be the safer option. Both had an extremely dark side to them, but caused her fear and excitement. Not sure if this read makes me wanna run to church or run away from it, hahaha. I've been waiting for this read since i read part of it as an anthology. Great read forsure

If you like dark, twisted and taboo, you've got it all in one with Hellfire! Esme was caught between Frollo and Quinlan, and I couldn't quite decide who I wanted more for her. I read the original version in the Something Wicked Anthology, but I really enjoyed this version as well! Get your mind ready to be screwed with!

After reading book one Perfect Denial I couldn’t wait to read more. I wasn’t disappointed as this was another great read from this author.
Esme doesn’t know what she has let herself in for when she moves into a new town to escape her past.
This story is dark and twisted- I loved every word of it.

Wow
Talk about a good book. Beware of the triggers for some. I really hope we get more stories from Stonewood.

A bit more of a story but...... nope that's all I've got

Oh my what a book. We got a lil bit of a taste of this story from the Something Wicked Anthology and Ally changed it up a bit and expanded the story and I'm so glad we got more of this trio Frollo, Esme & Quinlan. I loved the original story but I have to say I may love this version more. I'd definitely recommend if you love those twisted, dark reads.

Perfectly deliciously dark and creative. I loved the original characters and the way they invoke the feelings in the reader. It's hard to find an author that pushes the boundaries of the dark genre but this author hits it every time.
