When a new hellbreed comes calling, playing nice isn't an option. Jill Kismet has no choice but to seek treacherous allies - Perry, the devil she knows, and Melisande Belisa, the cunning Sorrows temptress whose true loyalties are unknown.
Kismet knows Perry and Belisa are likely playing for the same thing--her soul. It's just too bad, because she expects to beat them at their own game. Except their game is vengeance.
Nobody plays vengeance like Kismet. But if the revenge she seeks damns her, her enemies might get her soul after all...
This is the next to last book in Jill Kismet series and in my opinion the grittiest and most emotionally charged of the entire set!
Lilith Saintcrow has been one of my auto buy reads ever since discovering her Dante Valentine series and then when these books came out starting with "Night Shift" then "Hunter's Prayer" then "Redemption Alley" on to "Flesh Circus" , I could not get enough... The heroine is dark, gritty, tough, sexy, snarky, intelligent and has just gotten better and better with each book that has come out!
This time Jill is taxed to the max as not only the Hellbreed Perry tries to sway her by offering up her mentor's killer on a platter, but said killer becomes someone she must work with in order to prevent an even greater threat from making it's way into the world! In the meantime chaos erupts as time and again Jill is outnumbered but never beaten! Her lover Saul has been kidnapped as has her apprentice Gilberto, in a race to save them Jill must make another deal with the devil to keep them both alive!
Non-stop action, non-stop twists and turns to the story that take the reader to the very highest and lowest emotions! I only wish that in reading book #5 had waited until book #6 "Angel Town" was already released because with the "cliff hanger" that the author ended "Heaven's Spite" on my scream of frustration could be heard around the world!
