Paranormal | Romance

Jesse Harris was once a soul stealing succubus named Jezebel, but now she is a living, breathing, mortal. Jesse works as an exotic dancer and is in a serious relationship with an undercover cop named Paul Hamilton. Paul has no idea that Jesse used to be a demon in Hell. Jesse doesn't plan on sharing her secret with Paul, but when her old life keeps showing up, she doesn't have much of a choice. When Jesse was Jezebel she used to have sex with tons of men and then she would suck out their souls. One of her favorite demon sex partners was a sexy Incubus named Daunuan. Daunuan hasn't forgotten about his lusty Succubus and refuses to give up their sex life together. One touch from Daunuan and Jesse is completely seduced. How will she keep her boyfriend when her old lover won't let her move on? Every time Jesse turns around, someone from the Underworld is in her bathroom, trying to convince her to return to Hell and her old ways as a Succubus. Jesse is happy as a human and doesn't want to return, no matter how much Daunuan and everyone else tempts her into going back. Will Daunuan accept Jesse's decision or will he trick her back into her old ways? Paul is completely in love with Jesse and blissfully ignorant about what she used to be. How will Paul react if he finds out the truth about Jesse? THE ROAD TO HELL is a thrill ride of excitement, sexiness, suspense, adventure, romance and fantasy. I inhaled and devoured this book in two sittings. Jackie Kessler writes with such a vivid imagination for fantasy and details. I could see, smell, and taste every word and action in this story. The characters are unique and all very different from each other. I absolutely loved this book and I am hungry for more. THE ROAD TO HELL is an excellent urban fantasy/ paranormal romance story that will delight fantasy readers. There is really nothing bad to say about this book. I loved every page, every word. I eagerly look forward to the next book in this series, Hotter than Hell.

SUMMARY

In Jackie Kessler's debut novel Hell's Belles, she introduced readers to Jesse Harris, a succubus-turned- human with a tart tongue, a way with a g-string, and a soft spot for sexy undercover cop Paul Hamilton. Now Jesse's back, and where she goes, Hell is sure to follow...

There's Nothing Worse Than A Demon With A Grudge

Jesse may no longer be a soul-stealing succubus, but she's got a Hell of a past. She'd love to come clean to her sweet, super-hot boyfriend Paul, but how exactly does a girl start that conversation? There's no name tag that reads: "I Used to Have Sex with Men before Taking Their Souls to the Lake of Fire--Ask Me How!" Just like some people are worth being monogamous for (shudder), some secrets are worth keeping. Like the fact that bad boy incubus Daunuan keeps popping up from the Underworld to put some toe-curling moves on her; that her former associates are trying to strong-arm her back into the fold; and that every supernatural entity on the planet seems to want to have a conversation with her in the bathroom. But someone in the Underworld isn't ready to play nice (go figure), and this time, the stakes are nothing less than Paul's immortal soul.

If Hell wants Jesse back so badly, they've got her. But payback's a bitch, and this bitch is about to rock Hell like a hurricane--or lose her soul trying...
