Release date: June 2012
Genre: Paranormal romance
Burning alive is nothing compared to the heat of his touch.
There are better ways to break up with a girl than having her roasted at the stake as a witch. Is it any wonder Ysabel has trust issues? She got her revenge, though, and it only cost her a slightly tarnished soul.
Working for Lucifer isn’t all bad, until her ex-boyfriend escapes the bowels of Hell and she’s forced to team up with a womanizing demon to fetch the jerk back.
As a minion in Lucifer’s legion, Remy’s seen a lot of things, but nothing can prepare him for the witch with the acerbic tongue – and voluptuous figure. The more she pushes him away, the more determined he becomes to seduce her. However, what’s a poor demon to do when he accidentally falls in love and wants to keep her forever?
Welcome to Hell where you’re screwed if you do and damned if don’t. And just so you know, Lucifer has a special spot reserved for you…
I have had this book resting on my Kindle device forever. I’m glad I dove further into the TBR pile this weekend because I really enjoyed this book and will probably soon gift myself with the rest of the series. There are six books in the Welcome To Hell series and this is the first one.
The main characters are fantastic. Ysabel is a very likable witch. I enjoy her quick reactions. She is certainly not a damsel in distress, though she does find herself in a bit of a hot pickle. Being that A Demon and His Witch is a shorter read, the reader (that’s us!) doesn’t get to see too much into Ysabel’s past, which I thought would have made for an interesting novel in itself, possibly several volumes (lol).
BUT… (Drumroll)
As Ysabel is such a strong, smart character, I find it difficult to believe she didn’t see the betrayal from her lover in the end of her life. I do get that sometimes people only see the good in others, but Ysabel was written sharply–little hidden, speaks her mind…I felt like she would have been more likely to have seen him for what he was eons ago, but had she, this would have been a totally different story.
The hero in this story is an alpha male, in case that matters to any of you. Remy is a half demon, half mortal. In the story, we readers meet his demon mother and learn that his mortal father was accidentally killed by his mother (who says she loved him, but…). We quickly learn that Remy is a take charge sorta guy, he’s toying with the idea that he might settled down to a forever relationship, although it goes completely against his previous dating practices (in which he just sort of meanders from bed to bed, I suppose lol).
The plot of the story is basically strewn right out in the back cover blurb, so I won’t get into too much description of it here and I certainly don’t want to give you any big spoilers because people who do that suck. The gist of it is that Ysabel and Remy are tasked with bringing five escaped damned souls back to hell. These particular souls were people responsible for Ysabel’s death, so obviously it’s personal for her. Remy and Ysabel are quite the match and their constant banter was hilarious.
Four stars! YAY.
