Synopsis:
Scarred with
angelfire by a rebellious angel named Micah, Jake Cottrell is sanctioned to
become the twelfth paladin in Micah's supernatural unit of slayers. However,
regret abounds as Micah is banished from his command and ordered to protect
what he now despises…a human he believes is unworthy of such an honor.
Jake slips far away from righteousness, outwardly proving Micah's judgment, by
replying to a wicked email from next@hell.net. Forever a seeker of mischief,
Jake dares Hell to burn him. Hell agrees. Davis Travers thickens the plot by
introducing Jake to Rachel Darnell. A temptress extraordinaire, she erupts from
the fiery pits to steal Jake's soul. After a steamy seduction from the dark
side, Jake is left spellbound.
With his soul dangling between Heaven and Hell, Jake soars on a blistering
blacktop to escape the wrath of Hell as he fights for redemption while
transforming into the twelfth paladin. Feel the heat as you grab your precious
soul and go for a virtual roller coaster ride into Hell and back.
My Review:
When playing a game
with hell someone is going to get burned.
Every character has a choice in the story between good and evil and of
course evil is always the more enticing option.
The use of the first person character viewpoints was effective, although
the lengthy internal dialog often felt overly descriptive and caused a break in
the flow. With that being said the
characters are not segregated into all good or all evil, making them more
realistic to people you might meet. The
hero and heroine of this story come with their own issues but we do see them develop
and mature along the way.
I was provided a copy
of the book by BTS eMag for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for
this review – all conclusions are my own responsibility.
