Blurb:
In a city of angels and demons, we learn who the real monsters are.
If Arija has to chase Kip down one more time, she just might kill him. But when she finds herself in the most beautiful city she’s ever seen, is it a paradise or is it hell?
Adal can’t believe he let Arija go into the portal alone. When he goes in looking for her, he finds himself in a hellscape. With a demon around every corner, Adal must find his girlfriend before it’s too late.
But someone watches from the shadows.
When heaven and hell collide, Adal and Arija must figure out who is there to help and who is a demon wearing an angel’s face. Will they solve the puzzle before it’s too late?
You’ll love this twisted tale reminiscent of The Labyrinth because of the betrayal, the temptation and the edge of your seat action.
Excerpt:
“Rowan, Matilda, please splay this
creature out so we may start the ritual.” Ara winked as she stepped away from
Adal.

Matilda and Rowan each grabbed him
by the hip and swept his feet out from underneath him. As soon as he hit the
ground, the sisters pinned him to the floor.

Adal had to trust she would get

“Enough of this! Why you don’t
have a soul is irrelevant. I will tear into your chest and remove whatever
heart you have. Then I’ll feed it to your man before removing his juicy bits,”
Ara warned, turning all of her attention toward Ypsilon.

A small smile played at the edge
of Ypsilon’s mouth. It was gone so fast Adal wasn’t even sure it was real. His
stomach tightened, his nerves on edge as his friend squared off with the
succubus. Adal didn’t even hear the gunshot, the boom and muzzle flash almost masked
by the panicked and infuriated howls of the spectating mass of succubi.

Ara’s head rocked backwards as an
oily substance erupted into the air, spraying the floor all around her. Adal
only noticed that Rowan and Matilda had let go of him when his arms smacked
against the dark marble floor.

Ypsilon’s eyes were at half-mast
as she relished in what he presumed was her first kill of the night. The look
of pleasure on her face as she watched the smoke plume from the end of her
gun’s barrel was enough to make him grateful she was on his side.

“God, I hate the word bitch.”
Ypsilon turned and swung her gun back and forth between Rowan and Matilda who
were shrieking at the death of their leader.

“Anyone want a shot at the title

The two succubi charged at

As Rowan reached her, arms outstretched like a zombie in a Romero movie,
Ypsilon dropped and rolled the succubus over her shoulder, slamming her into
the floor.

Matilda stumbled backward,
colliding with several of the spectators. One woman in the crowd jumped in
front of Matilda, growling at Ypsilon, but Matilda raised a hand and the woman
returned to her place.

Ypsilon stepped back to avoid the full hit, but tripped over Ara’s body,
