Book two of Jackie Kessler’s “Hell on Earth series” is a scorcher! Her sassy heroine, a sharp tongued succubus, is back and she’s on “The Road to Hell.” Jezebel narrates her story and she tells a deliciously wicked tale that mixes romance and humor with dark urban fantasy.
Jesse Harris, aka Jezebel, was once a succubus. She gave up a life of sex, brimstone and torture for a soul and a human body. Now she works as an exotic dancer and lives with the man she loves, Pete Hamilton, a NYC cop. Jezebel’s former lover, the incubus Duanuan, is hot to have her back and tries to seduce her. Jesse is happy as a mortal but when some demons conspire to bring her back to hell and they use Pete as bait, she has no choice but to follow.
Jezebel is a great character. She’s sexy, sassy and sarcastic. The dialogue is clever and witty. The scenes in hell are chilling, but Kessler turns up the heat with the sex scenes. This is a story about a succubus after all and Jezebel is a seductress extraordinaire, so be prepared for some sizzling encounters.
Familiar figures such as Lucifer, Lilith and the Furies inhabit a cleverly imagined underworld. The combination of supernatural elements with the mundane realities of life in the big city keeps things real. The pace is fast, the pages fairly fly. There are intriguing twists and turns. This is one helluva read – put Jackie Kessler on your must buy list.
Look out for the paperback which is due to be released on November 3, 2009
