4.75/5 stars!

As the Hunter of Hell, Mist has hunted a lot of unlucky individuals to face justice in the demon world. Yet the demon has begun to yearn for more after seeing rogues such as Eligos and Asmodeus find love with non-demon women. To keep the presence of the rogues a secret from Paimon, a Queen of Hell Mist struck up a bargain with Asmodeus and his brothers in exchange for a brief glimpse of freedom. And during this time period he met Lily, the one who will change everything.

This is the second Hell Bent book and I adore it. I enjoyed reading more of the Hell Bent world and how the overall series plot is progressing in this book. Mist and Lily were wonderful individuals and are so adorable together. Characters from the first book and new ones provided relevant information and humor within the story while giving strong memorable personalities that remains in one's memory after finishing the book. There were intimacy, friendship, self-reflection, comradery, and love interspersed in an enjoyably entertaining story. This story is sublimely perfect, but it would be nice if it gave a bit more details to certain parts and characters that are only in this book. Yet my personal preference for more details didn't deter the overall enjoyment of reading this book. This Hell Bent series is highly recommended with scrumptious covers, strong complex characters, snarky humor, intense romance, and an interesting series plot that will keep readers entertained. The author has hit her stride in this second book, and I can't wait to read more Aurora Ascher books in the future.
