Sin Demons #2
Hell in a Handbasket
See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil. Sleep with no evil… If only it were that easy.
Between being kidnapped by a psycho dragon-shifter, influenced by ancient relics, and fighting for my freedom, I’d say my hands are full. But really, my troubles have just begun.
Cain, Dorian, and Elias are wickedly dangerous, scorching hot, and all too tempting. They’re devils in disguise. Literally.
I don’t know why they’re collecting these relics, but it looks like I’m not the only one with secrets. Despite all the risks, I might be falling for the three of them. But there's a good chance this Hellish relationship ends up being the death of me.
To make matters worse, there may be something more to my shadow than I originally thought. Something evil that’s set on taking over me entirely if I let it. With each passing day, I find myself falling deeper into its darkness and further under the demons’ deadly charms.
There’s no other way around it... Things are quickly going to Hell in a handbasket.

I was curious to continue this series even though the first book wasn't that terrific.
This book though.
Spoilers below
The guys rescue her from the dragon 🐉.
She starts contemplating running 🏃♀️ away again.
She has sex with Elias and starts being in her feelings.
She has sex with Cain and starts being in her feelings.
Cain has sex with her and he starts being in his feelings.
They go looking for the relics and Cain is almost killed and she's in her feelings.
Someone wants to kidnap her so they are all in their feelings.
The dragon comes back and injures Cain and that's where the book ends. If I have to guess, she starts being in her feelings too.
It was tiring having to deal with their emotions 😪 . I wanted more action 🎬 and less of what they had going on. Alas, it was not meant to be.
This book though.

This is….unacceptable. And to Cain?!!! No.
I will say they grew more emotionally attached to one another in this book.
Especially Cain and Aria, even though they did have their problems with each other.
I liked learning more about Aria’s past. Somewhat. And the involvement of her friend from foster care.
I absolutely adore Cassiel, and found the joke about him being named after an angel to be really quite amusing.
And the humor is great.
There is once again a smaller plot within the book itself - to hunt sir surchion, and a bigger plot for the entirety of the series, and the author did a good job balancing and mixing those two plots.
I still feel like they all don’t know how they feel about lot of the time.
Like one second the demons are distrustful of Aria, and the next they talk about wanting to show her how safe she is with them. It feels like they can’t make up their minds.
Her struggles are easier to relate to, cause she sort of cares for them, but knows she isn’t supposed to, and sort of still wants to run away, but then she sort of wants to stay because they can be so kind and gentle and caring.
It is all a bit complicated if you can’t tell.
But we are handling it.
Truly.

Generously giving this 3 stars.
I just really had a hard time with this book. I loved book 1, but this book had me wanting to quit bunches of times, and even going to bed early rather than finishing up the last 20% where I would normally stay up until done. The flow started very slow, to the point of being boring & didn't pick up steam until about 2/3rds of the way in. The flip flop of behavior for the demons & Aria was enough to to drive me nuts. One minute they are all over each other, the next they seem to hate each other -back & forth all the way thru. I didn't feel the emotions from them for each other one way or another. It all felt very disjointed. I didn't even feel the lust/chemistry that led them to sex. There were a lot of things that were left open and a lot of things that were glossed over like they weren't important. Overall, I didn't get enough enjoyment from this book to want to continue with the series at this point.

Sin is back. Hell in A Handbasket is the second book in Mila Young's and C.R. Jane's Sin Demon series. The story picks up right where the first book left off with Aria kidnapped by a dragon, the relics, stolen leaving three demons very grumpy. It was great.
Things are complicated. Aria is still her feisty self but she's showing a vulnerable side to herself and she's not alone the guys are changing as well, softening towards her and opening up about their past and their emotions. While all the secrets get out in the open things are still on shaky ground and neither the guys nor Aria fully trust each other, however, things in the relationship department are looking better. I like the softer side of the guys and I like that Aria might be open to something with the guys if they get over their issues.
Aria's and the guys' lives are kinda a dumpster fire right now. Enemies on all sides, attacks, weird shifters, a mysterious character, and missing relics just to name a few things. On the bright side, there was one adorable baby lynx named Cassiel who is annoying the heck out of a certain hellhound and it couldn't be funnier. More and more of the supernatural community is being revealed I loved it, from unusual supes to a magical market.
Hell in A Handbasket was fantastic. The steamy moments had my temperature rising, and the mystery surrounding Aria is steadily growing and intriguing me more and more, I already have a few theories about what can be coming. I'm really enjoying the series and plan on jumping into the third book really soon.

This is a great series! Well written there’s plenty of action and passion, adventure and danger, steam and mystery, twists and turns and is a great continuation from book one! This collaboration is fantastic as is the world building and I found myself totally lost in the story! Incredible.

This was ok. I wish we had gotten some answers on Aria. That's really the most interesting part of this story. I'm not sure if I will continue with this one or not. I'm not very invested in the romance.

Hell in a Handbasket is the second installment in Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks’ Sin Demons series. Book two picks up where book one left off and continues forward with a well-paced beginning that keeps you on the edge of your seat as you read to find out what happens next. But things do slow down as Aria and the guys face a bit of a set back and then discover that they have other problems looming. Another threat is making itself known as Aria’s abilities and presence is no longer a “secret” and the three demons’ quest for the harp begins to come to the forefront. Add in their growing attraction to Aria and you have a good amount of drama ready to implode.
Hell in a Handbasket begins with a dragon and a scream. I was hooked from the start and eager to see where the authors were going to take the whole situation with Aria. It seems that Aria has been thrown out of the frying pan into the fire. Sir Surchion has kidnapped her and flown her out into the mountains and I could only guess what he had in mind to do with her. There is quite a bit going on with this book. The demons are frustrated with Aria’s disappearance and are on edge about what to do. They find themselves in a bit of a situation that only gets more complicated. There is the introduction of a strange new character that I’m curious to learn more about.
I have to say that adore the addition of a precious little furry critter that the authors write into this book. Because obviously we needed something cute and adorable to balance out the huge irritable ball of hellhound that thunder clouds around the mansion. LOL!
For those who enjoy the steamier elements of this reverse harem romance…there is so much steamy!! I love it! It’s well done without being overdone. There is build up in the right places, and there is even a couple of heart pumping chase scenes to grow the anticipation and excitement.
My only real issue with this book is…Aria. The authors are working to write her as spunky, sassy, spirited and smart, but she honestly comes off as dumb at times. She keeps thinking that if she can just “run and get away from the demons that she’ll be home free.” Is she really that dense? They own her soul. It’s been contracted to them, by someone else who wanted to save their own neck (not that that worked out well for them). Does she conveniently forget this or is she just THAT “naïve”? I get tired of her sticking to this “I think I’ll run” train of thought. Then…why doesn’t she say anything to the guys about the stranger in the backyard?
I am choosing to rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The pace starts out good in the beginning, but then it really slows down in comparison to the first book. I had hoped that Aria would have developed a bit of sense, but that hasn’t happened quite yet. I do like that things are developing beyond lust between the characters and are heading gradually into the romance department. Get ready for a cliffhanger with this book, not as intense as the first, but one still nonetheless. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book.

Another intense read. I wish this fmc had more control when she was angry at the guys and they weren’t just overlooked just because she wants some sexy time. It was pretty good read and I’m interested in the.

Anxiety Induced Need to know what happens next!
Wow! So this is my second read through of this book now that the series is complete, and I’m so glad I reread it. I loved reading all the multiple point of views. The guys views of her changed from wanting her for her mysterious powers in the first book to feeling something for her, wanting to protect her, to just plain wanting her. And not for her powers either. She is everything they never knew they needed.
Elias, she gives him the hunt. The chase. The need to dominate. His sleepwalking hasn’t gotten better. He wakes in her bed every morning he’s home. He hates her new pet lynx she named Cassius, kinda funny cause he’s an angel and the guys are all demons.
Dorian, she is intriguing to him. Able to resist his incubus charm so their relationship develops more at a normal pace. Her defying him, made him a bit obsessed because it’s never happened before. He teases them all, to the point him and Elias fight. In the house, the limo, the bickering until Dorian shows a vulnerable side about her to the guys. He is in it for the long hall, but the others are a bit gun shy to admit “feelings”. Dorian, is a smooth talker so he convinces them to share her. Not forever but for while the fun lasts.
Cain, she baffles him. She fights for dominance with him. He’s the alpha, the oldest of the original sin demons. He likes to remind her of the power he welds over her but really she’s got his stomach in knots. He doesn’t know how to communicate with her in a way that doesn’t offend her. He’s used to ordering ppl around and Aria is used to shoving her middle finger up in the air as she walks away. They clash but that’s what makes the chapters where they are vulnerable with each other, saving each others bacon, small gestures of support while not teasing her about her moments of weakness. It all built to some crazy good action. Her worry for him really showed a side to her he didn’t think was possible. There is a bit of Stockholm syndrome but they never once hurt her purposefully.
A lot of crap went down in this book. It had my anxiety roaring to the heavens, but I couldn’t put down the book because I needed to read that they all survived. Ari, was dragonapped, they guys headed to the rescue, Ari gets away, saving a poor baby lynx from a hunter. The lynx basically adopts her and is her shadow until she meets up with the guys. Aria, is taken to the hospital that was supposedly born at, and abandoned at. She breaks down and Cain holds her and reassures her of how much she is wanted in this world. This I think is a turning point for him. He sees the emotion she hides behind defiant retorts. She also is saved by Cain at the swamp where they look for another relic. They each fight through snake shifters, drained of power from the physical manifestation of Sayah. Then the end, where they’re all in a fight for the lives, it seems like their going to win the fight but at the last second, Sir Surchion slams Cain into a storage container with a spiked tail. Aria is in a state of panic immediately, and it ends so quickly that I have whip lash. Arias emotions are written so flawlessly that it was so easy to connect with her as a real person. There was no jumping into a relationship, their connections adapted naturally. We got to read each of their point of views so it wad easy to fall for the guys as well. Cant wait to read what’s next!

Holy Dragon Shifters!
Action packed like the last book. We really get to see the guys powers in action as they battle a dragon shifter to rescue Aria. Relationships are starting to flesh out more, feelings are developing. Storyline has great depth and keeps things moving and building.
The book ends on another cliffhanger.
I’m still undecided on how much I like or dislike Aria. Her insecurities are crippling and give me the eye rolls at times. She has absolutely no self respect.
Plus, her constant need to escape - escape to where? She’s got big baddies on her butt, doesn’t know how use her powers, has no money, no one to help her except for the 3 guys in her face, and their is no where she can hide from the 3 guys or the bad guys that want her. They have the abilities and resources to find her.
Yet all she can think of is betraying her 3 demons ever chance she gets by selling the relics, which she knows is super important to them, and running away. I get she may be trying to avoid Stockholm syndrome, it just get repetitively annoying.
I feel as we get later into the book the insecurities would die down a bit and she would deal where need to escape would tamp down, but nope still front and center.
It’s bad enough we have deal her low maturity level, which can be easily forgotten at times, she is only 18 YO. Like her refusing to tell the guys about the angel she sees even after they laid their cards on the table. Another frustrating moment for me in the book.
Although the 3 demons don’t tell her everything either thinking it’s protecting her. What her reason for not telling them?
It’s pointed out a number of times she knows nothing about this alternate world she lives in and all the creatures within it, getting herself into trouble all the time for it.
Good thing the story is well written overall or I might have had to give up on the series. Willing to read the next book to see if Aria’s character gets any better or I can continue to get past her issues or my issues with her.
Editing continue to be good. Noticed less than a hand full of grammatical errors.

I couldn't not immediately start this book after how book one ended. Yes I'm addicted to three Demons and a whatever Aria is. I'm excited to carry on this series to find out.
"But with Aria, I want more. I have her soul. Our sexual chemistry is hotter than an inferno, but I'm still unsatisfied. I want all of her,"
To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. Watch me fall further in love with Cain and Elias in book two than I was in book one. Dorian is still awesome but I feel like Aria is holding him off for a reason. I love all of them though.
We start book two with tensions high. I won't say too much, to not reveal spoilers but I'm thankful that what happened at the end of book one wasn't dragged out. It's not resolved but it's all good, I'm still sitting on the edge of my seat, because there is now a bigger set of problems for our three demon's and Aria have to solve.
To be honest tensions are high between everyone.
Aria and Cain.
Dorian and Cain.
Elias and the little fur-ball Lynx Aria rescued. Hell hound vs Kitty is hilarious!
Our main girl's emotions are tackled in this book. I finds out something from her beginning that just breaks my heart for her. This may be a paranormal romance, completely fiction but the emotions, the turmoil, all the feels are real.
"You wanted the monster," I whisper against her mouth, unable to deny the irresistible urge to fuck her senseless. I want to draw every kind of reaction out of her. "Here I am." I can't deal with Cain. I am just lost for words. In reverse harems I always fall for this kind of character.
When we think of Demon's, you think soulless and to be honest they are but we see them dealing with very human emotions and struggle with it and I LOVE IT! It's thrilling to read that war within themselves because you really don't know what they're going to do.
AND watching my girl Aria battling her own emotions between the three demon's as well is everything. Also what I love about her is that it's not in a whiny way. She is still strong and fierce and I love her for that.
Book three - I'm coming for you!

Good
WARNING! Hellacious Cliffhanger ending! This one is HUGE and very abrupt.
Picking up from book one’s cliffhanger ending, we see Aria being kidnapped, while the Demons’ relics are stolen, both by a dragon shifter.
Aria’s kidnapping is fairly quickly resolved, but the relics are another matter.
In addition to these issues, Aria and the demons are trying to find out about her past, and an old acquaintance is causing trouble for the demons.
Like the first book, this one is filled with action, adventure, and smexy times. Fortunately, the encounter with the dragon seems to have made everyone wise up a little, though Aria still makes silly mistakes. Her biggest mistake is STILL not trying to find information- she gets sidetracked way to easily.
The second book in the series is actually better than the first, mostly because we are really coming to know the characters in it, and because as they become more developed, we become more invested in the tale.
The scene stealer of the book is a lynx kitten, one who seems to have it in for Elias, and there are some mysterious happenings that seem to be part of an ongoing plot, about which we know very little.
The cliffhanger ending will definitely leave you gasping and hanging, so thank goodness the rest of the series is already out- you will want the next book lined up pronto!
Recommended for fans of paranormal RH romance, especially those who like it to be a little on the dark side.

SPOILERS AHEAD
I just got immensely frustrated with both the men and woman, so much so I stopped reading and haven't gone back. I probably will, but I'm not sure. Here's why:
Why I'm frustrated with the guys:
So, you know that your Father(Lucifer) is after your girl, and you don't tell her, why? Because you don't want to scare her, stupid reason. You already know she is reckless, has gotten kidnapped from your drive way once already, and a group of snake-shifters JUST tried to kidnap her again. On top of that she has a wickedly powerful demon attached to her, yet you continue to underestimate not only her but also THE DEVIL
Why I'm frustrated with the girl:
So you know your men were kicked out of Hell by The Devil himself, you've been warned that he is cunning and evil as f**ck (by demons no less), he's already sent a group of snake-shifters to kidnap you, yet when you see an Angel hanging out in the backyard YOU TRUST him!? So, maybe you talk to him, and maybe that interaction gets the best of you, and you agree to let him help you, but when he runs away when one of your men come by and you know he did something to make your issue worse, you still don't tell anyone you even saw an Angel.. why?
My husband says "it's just a plot device to move the story along", but I don't actually give a f**ck, the stupidity is unbearable!

Book two in this series starts off with a bang ... there's tons of action, super hot scenes, and the mystery surrounding Aria doubles.
Elias, Cain, and Dorian have never met anyone like Aria. They don't understand the shadow living inside her any more than she does. In the mix of trying to figure where she came from or what she is, they're also still on the hunt for the relics they need in order to return to Hell.
Dragons, kidnappings, and lots of hot sex make this a book I couldn't put down. By the end, I'm still left wondering exactly who or what Aria is, and whether or not her demons will realize she's more important than them returning to Hell. They've been around for centuries but still haven't realized love is more important than anything else.... stubborn men!
While the book does end with a cliffhanger, and you definitely need to read book 1 before diving into this one, I found that I had to know what happened next. I flipped through the pages, gobbling up every scene, and now I'm eager to read the next installment. Hopefully, all my questions will be answered and Aria will get her happily ever after with her demon trio!

The second book picks up where book one stopped. Aria is kidnapped by Sir Surchion, but manages to escape and is reunited with her three demons. Her relationships with them deepens, they get closer, and also her secrets are no longer secrets - since Saya has been spotted, she is forced to admit her existence. On the other side, Aria now knows why Cain, Dorian, and Elias need the relics - only, she is not sure what this means for her. And even more confusing is the fact that someone from the Hell is targeting her.
Enjoyable and well-paced story peppered with some steamy scenes and deep emotions. The changes in Aria are noticeable, not only in her abilities but also in her thinking and attitude, her acceptance of the demons and attachment firm enough to make her want to protect them. I absolutely adored the addition of Cassiel, that little one came wreaking havoc especially to Elias's life :D and now that the dragon threat found certain closure, the Hell becomes the main enemy. Looking forward to see how the main quartet finds a way out of this mess.

Could not put down!
I adored book 1 and was excited to continue the story with book 2. I was not disappointed as we pick up right after the events of book 1.
We get more relationship building between Aria and her 3 demons. All 3 feel something for her and are forced to confront it as the danger climbs to a new level. I liked how each male is different in how they deal and process what is going on around them.
I loved the new roommate and how he also staked a claim on Aria. The fact that he comes home with them at all shows how these men, no matter how dominant they are, have a soft gooey middle when it comes to Aria.
The ending left me breathless. It didn't feel like a disappointing cliffhanger to me, but we are definitely left hanging.
So much about Aria's past is still unknown, but it felt like the world from book 1 expanded and grew in a delicious way. I cannot wait to get my hands on book 3.
I received a free copy of this story and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

The plot of this story has me very intrigued. This book we finally got some answers as to what Aria could be and where she is from. Kinda.
The steam finally played out and Aria has officially gotten her wish with all the guys. Cain, Dorian and Elias. Unfortunately she still wants to get away from them and her back and forth is kind of exhausting. The steam is sexy and I want more. They all have feelings towards her and her to them, but are still against it. We still don't have answers to what happened with the guys and the girl before. Serena.
After the back and forth, they are faced against the Dragon and are ready to get their relics back! Doing do comes at a cost though and then the book ends on a cliffhanger.
I will be continuing on with Book 3, but I need their back and forth to stop soon. lol.
*Overall 3.5/5
*Heat? 5/5
*Fast Burn
*Multiple first person POV
*Ends on cliffhanger

Aria is able to escape from the dragon that grabbed her. She knows if she gets away she can run from everyone. The demons find out where she is and help her get away. Aria has to tell the demons what she has keeping from them, they tell her some things as well.
Cain helps Aria find more about her past, she wasn't expecting what she found. It doesn't tell her wants she and the other want to know. Aria is also growing close to all of them. Aria keeps see a strange at the house, she doesn't know what to make of it.
This is just some of what happened, I am not going to spoil the book. Aria goes some things in this book. She also becomes closer to the demons even though they hold her contract. She has to figure out what her shadow is and what she is. The ending of this book killed me, can't wait for the next one.

Aria escapes a dragon only to be taken back into the mansion of the three gorgeous demons who own her soul. All she wants is her freedom, but her heart beats hard for Cain, Dorian, and Elias. They all struggle with their emotions as the search for the powerful relics continue. And it's not only the dragon after Aria now. It could be Hell has reached up to grab her.
This is the thrilling second book in the gritty and steamy Sin Demons series. There is never a dull moment. Everything hits hard and fast. Aria is stuck in a seemingly impossible to escape from situation. I love seeing how her relationship with the demons is growing, each one in a unique way. Elias is my favorite, the randy hellhound! I still love the dragon shifter that torments Aria. What a villain! And now other evil players are moving in. I can't wait to read more in this series.

Aria is in the clutches of a creepy, surprise dragon and the demons are hunting for her. Is it surprising that somehow the four manage to find each other on this “rescue mission?” Back at the mansion with a new addition, it’s time to lay the cards on the table.
The demons know there’s much to Aria they don’t know or understand, but is she willing to share it all?
Hell in a Handbasket is fast paced and laced with all kinds of action. Just as it seems answers are there for the taking, things keep popping up. Like who is the guy in white Aria keeps spotting on the grounds?
Mila Young and Harper Brooks have mastered cliffhangers and deliver masterfully in their sequel to the Sin Demons series.

This picks up right where book one left off and it’s off to an exciting start!
Between Aria and the demons, I can’t decide who I love more. Aria is witty and tough but she also has a vulnerable side. The demons are so alpha and protective! Did I also mention hot? I devoured this book! I couldn’t put it down. The pacing is great. Unforgettable characters. It’s got everything you could possibly want. Action, wittiness and steamy hot scenes. Note to the authors, how you gonna end it like that?!
Highly entertaining read that will have you rapidly turning those pages till the very end! I NEED the next book ASAP! I give this 5 stars.

I have been dying to get my hands on the next installment in this series, and this book did not disappoint. Not in the least. The heat gets even hotter. The mysteries get even more mysterious. And their enemies are multiplying like springtime rabbits. At the end of this book, I have far more questions than I have answers, but I’m almost okay with that. I know there’s more story to come that will explain all about Aria and her connection to these demons. My fingers are also crossed that we’ll learn in the next one that the ending to this book wasn’t as final as it looks.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Black Cat.

The psycho dragon shifter had turned out to be a tough nut to crack and with a lot of advantage. Aria was pressing for information, but secrets were hard to unveil as she herself was demonstrating. Cain, Dorian and Elias were ... different. What was influencing them? Sayah on the one hand and an intriguing new character on the other, had Aria worried. What mysteries surrounded them? Where did they come from? There was too much on her plate that was affecting her life and her choices, thank goodness that Cain, Dorian and Elias supported her with their steamy passion sessions. Action, suspense, drama, mystery, deception, violence, romance and lot of heated passion.

Loved part two in this series. Loaded with suspense, dark humor, action & a few Sexy scenes. Aria the FMC is a mix of strength and bravery, naivete and compassion. The romantic relationships develop, Aria is more honest and is more of a fighter in this book, but still has emotional moments, a good balance. Who is Aria Cross? What will be next for her? Where will she end up at the end of this series? Can't wait to find out the answers. The only thing that made me grit me teeth and start violently shaking was the cliff hanger the book ended on. Book 3 is supposed to be released at the end of February 2021. NOT SOON ENOUGH!!!

Keep the action going and feelings flowing
Aria, an unknown supernatural, finds herself kidnapped by dragons and wondering if this is any better than the three demons (Cain, Dorian, and Elias) who bought her from her foster father As the story progresses escape is close, she gets pulled back in, and a new player enters the game. Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks keep the action going and feelings flowing in Hell in a Handbasket. I don’t know if I should be happy or angry that this book ends in a cliff hanger.
I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

This is an amazing series that just keeps getting better. I loved this second book and all the twists and turns. This book picks up right where the previous one ended which I’m very happy about. There’s a lot of action in this one and definitely a good amount of passion though a bit slower paced. Though the cliffhanger at the end drove me a bit crazy and made me want to yell at the book and need the next book in the series. Aria gets to find out more about her past and this definitely kept me on the edge of my seat nervous for what would be coming next. I love the personal relationships developing more and the character development. This is an amazing series and a must read!

the contract
Hell in a Handbasket is book two in the series Sin Demons by authors Mila Young & Harper A. Brooks. Damn this one is wild- so many things happening in between these pages. Firstly is it possible to fall for a demon- demons (??)- apparently it is. So there’s a dragon and he’s bad news and there’s another demon and he’s even badder news, (does that even work - well it sounds cool). Anywho, there’s a lot of searching for the relics and a trap or two. Some serious injuries and some serious heat!! Oh and this one ends in heartache- maybe. Ok so it’s a cliffhanger and book three is needed - so I’m off, book three here I come.
Enjoy!!

This is the second book in this series, and the hotness factor has increased! Poor Aria is in a heap of trouble again, and her men must drag her out of trouble and rescue her. However, they need rescued, too, and to rescue them, they have to start trusting her, and that is hard for these men to do. This is a great follow up to the first one, and these authors have hit it out of the park. Book two is steamier than the first one, so hold on to your panti…er, seats. LOL! We are getting closer to finding out what Aria is, and I can’t wait. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
