Fresh Fiction Review

The Road to Hell
Jackie Morse Kessler

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin

Paranormal | Romance

Jesse had hoped that when she transitioned from a succubus to a mortal, her life would start looking up. Instead, her boyfriend just seems to think she's a slut who won't stay faithful to him (some habits are hard to break) and wants her to stop working as a stripper at Spice, her former "co-worker" -the incubus Daunuan- keeps trying to seduce her to Hell, the Fury Alecto alternately threatens and wheedles to get Jesse to come back to Hell to save Alecto's sister and Jesse's best friend, Meg, and, worst of all, an Angel is trying to work in Jesse's former position! The downsides of being mortal don't seem to be stacking up against her happiness of being given a second chance, and plots within plots seem to aim at taking Jesse down...straight to Hell. Hysterical and gripping, this fast-paced, richly depicted tale will leave readers laughing as Jesse tries to get everyone around her, human, angelic, demonic, and big-time Other, to just make her life a little easier and follow her half-baked plans to a former succubus's happily ever after.

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...
