Hell's Bells
(Publisher's Note: This book was previously released by the author writing under the pen name Lesli Richardson. It has been edited for re-release.)
Kal doesn't just have personal demons -- she's marrying one.
Kalyani Martin, a Baptist minister's daughter, intended to save herself for the right guy. She just never realized he would be Will Helloenboek, The Firm's head archdemon. Between producing their popular ghost hunting show and planning her wedding without her parents finding out the truth about Will and The Firm, it's enough to drive a girl crazy.
Ryan Ausar runs The Firm. Will and his cousin, Aidan Faust, are more than just employees--they're joined by an unbreakable bond that ties them to their tragic past. Ryan keeps a secret that goes back to the dark and crazy days...and it's returning to unleash bloody vengeance upon them all.
As Ryan struggles behind the scenes to keep things together, can he preserve the fragile joy finally blessing his friends' lives without revealing the soul-crushing truth that could destroy all they hold dear?
Contains mouth-watering, hunky demon sex, a sweet, clueless doofus demon, and an enduring vengeance that could ruin all they hold dear.
Content Warning: Contains explicit scenes of m/f sex, m/m sex (including anal sex) and coarse language.

Misery continues to follow Ryan Ausar in this second book. This series should be read in order to experience the full impact of desolation. The cast of characters returns with Kal, Ryan, Will and Aidan. Ms. Dalton keeps on throwing out gut punches as the reader learns more about how Ryan, Kal and Will interconnect. What is worse, it is learning how this connection all started which makes a reader weep softly for noble Ryan. When was the last time someone felt sorry for the head archdemon?
As Kal and Will's relationship deepens, it becomes complicated when Kal starts dreaming about her past life. She isn't sure what is going on and Ryan is doing his best to keep her in the dark. When Ryan's carefully laid out secret plans unravel, it looks like everyone will be blown away - emotionally. Ms. Dalton excels at writing twisted relationships where there seems to be no happy endings. When two people are devoted and love the same person, how does this person choose? Do they want to choose?
What seemed to be just a paranormal romance morphs into a suspense. A previously character driven story is how a blend of both plot and character development. In her paranormal stories, Ms. Dalton tends to use a formula which works. The same holds true for this series. In each one, there is a specific defining moment in time where a person feels wronged. This slight or denial may seem trivial to most, yet it spikes into an out of control revenge. This works well for me because it does seem people can become overly dramatic and enact plans of mass destruction because their feelings are hurt. Ms. Dalton takes it to an extreme that doesn't seem ridiculous yet does make a reader feel incredulous. Or I should say, the readers who tend to lean towards facts when making decision instead of emotions. And emotions is what Ms. Dalton exploits so well.
This story is up and down with feelings as Kal runs through euphoria then despair. Several of the seven cardinal sins are featured front and center as the reader runs through an obstacle course of tragic events. Each of the characters both major and minor exhibit one of these sins: lust, greed, wrath, envy and pride. Well, I don't know if I would consider lust a sin in this case because the sexy times in this story are sweet. When the last chapter finishes, a reader may rail at Ms. Dalton and demand for the next book in the series. This torrid tale does end in a bit of a cliffhanger. This paranormal romance is recommended to readers who enjoy complicated relationships and alpha males who will do anything to protect their female.

This book has it all. Love and conflict. I fell for all of the characters of all the characters i feel the most for Ryan. I can't wait to see what Ms. Dalton has in store for these characters in the future books.

Second book in Tymber Dalton's Good Will Ghost Hunting Series (previously published under pen name of Lesli Richardson) which is being republished by Captiva Press. The first book is called Demon Seed.
Loved Hell's Bells even more than the first book. A really fabulous paranormal romance / urban fantasy read.
According to her website she does plan to write more books for her Good Will Ghost Hunting Series. I am not so patiently waiting for more updated news on when they are going to be written and released. Please hurry, Ms. Dalton!
