Title: Wicked Road to Hell
Author: Juliana Stone
Format: ebook requested from Edelweiss
With the legions of the underworld gathering and chaos close at hand, Sorcerer Declan O’Hara’s deadly skills will be tested. But nothing will sway him from his duty, not even her…
Rescued from eternal darkness, vampire Ana DeLacrux owes her life to a mysterious stranger who asks for only one thing—her absolute allegiance. She serves this master without question until Declan, the one man who can make her forget her vow, returns. His magic is stronger, darker…more compelling than ever. His blood awakens a hunger she must resist, or risk deadly consequences.
As Ana and Declan join forces, the streets of New Orleans become a dangerous place for both humans and the otherworld. And the most dangerous place of all is a road Declan’s traveled before…the wicked road to hell.
In Wicked Road to Hell
we meet Declan (awesome name, btw!), who is a sorcerer who has just been
rescued from the third level of hell by Bill, a Seraph. Yes, Bill the angel. Awesome! In return for plucking Declan out of
Lilith’s hell Declan is basically in servitude to Bill. Declan’s current task is to find someone and
bring him back. He doesn’t know who, but
of course that eventually comes to light.
Then we meet Ana. Ana
is a centuries old vampire; a royal vampire at that. Declan and Ana have it bad for eachother, always
have. But they both think the other is
dead. Ana was brought back to life by…..
Bill! That Bill, he’s a helluva
guy. Ana’s task is to protect a young
boy named Kaden, who appears to be a sorcerer.
This is a new author to me, and I must say I was totally
enthralled with this entire world. I
hear there are other books, a Jaguar series to be precise. I think I am definitely going to have to look
those up and get a little bit more history on Declan and Ana. Not to mention there is a jaguar in this
story, Declan’s friend, Nico. Nico
sounds just like the type of jaguar I’d like to meet (insert evil grin here).
But I digress…
“Ana Delacrux
was a fearless, tough operative. To see
her in such a vulnerable state did something to his insides. It twisted them into all kinds of want and
need and filled him with desire to protect what was his.”
Oh, how I
love them alpha type males! There is a really good romantic and frustrating
tension between Declan and Ana. I couldn’t
wait for them to finally get together and realize that everything is
mutual. Every turn page was agony
waiting for it to happen!
Luckily for
me there was a lot of other stuff happening to hold me over until that
happened. This book had werewolves that
were all kinds of cool. Demon lords…who
doesn’t love a good demon lord? And
Lilith… well, Lilith’s world kind of felt like a demented version of Alice In
Wonderland, so I absolutely loved that. Sides
must come together for a common goal.
What’s that saying? The enemy of
my enemy is my friend. That definitely
applies here for this story.
