About this ebook

A fallen angel with a mean streak and a Mohawk, Hades has spent thousands of years serving as Jailor of the Underworld. The souls he guards are as evil as they come, but few dare to cross him. All of that changes when a sexy fallen angel infiltrates his prison and unintentionally starts a riot. It's easy enough to quell an uprising, but for the first time, Hades is torn between delivering justice—or bestowing mercy—on the beautiful female who could be his salvation...or his undoing.

 

Thanks to her unwitting participation in another angel's plot to start Armageddon, Cataclysm was kicked out of Heaven and is now a fallen angel in service of Hades' boss, Azagoth. All she wants is to redeem herself and get back where she belongs. But when she gets trapped in Hades' prison domain with only the cocky but irresistible Hades to help her, Cat finds that where she belongs might be in the place she least expected...

 

Reviews for Hades:

“Hades is an entertaining story and a very quick read. Action-packed, yet fun; intense, yet silly, Hades is an enjoyable novella and a must read for Demonica series fans.” ~ Jen, Amazon Reviewer

“Hades reminded me why I love not just these series that are entwined so much, but why I love Larissa Ione as an author. She has a way to suck you into the world she is writing about and you don’t want to leave. From the first page until the last I loved every word in between.” ~ Cheyenne, Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

“It was so fun to dive back into the Underworld with Hades. This series just keeps on getting better and better.” ~ Shayna, Goodreads Reviewer

“As always Ione delivered an amazing love story filled with action, intensity and sexiness. Who would have thought the Keeper Of Souls would be such an interesting guy to read. This just reminded me how big of a fan I am of Larissa's writing. Keep the coming!” ~ Marie, Amazon Reviewer

Ratings and reviews

Despite the powerful, sadistic, heavily muscled bad boy that Hades is, he’s secretly a cinnamon roll MMC any gal, guy, or demon would swoon for! Cat and Hades’ witty banter stole the show, and my heart! HADES is a quick read full of action, wit, and a swoon-worthy love story! Highly recommend! The book also has a few extras at the end, including a decadent dessert recipe! **Book generously provided by Blue Box Press in exchange for an honest review**
