Quest for the Keys
DHELLIA: QUEST FOR THE KEYS (The Dhellia Series, Book #2)
DHELLIA is still on the run from her father, Satan, who wants her to take her rightful place as princess of the underworld, which would include duties that conflict with her compassionate, witty and half-human personality.
DHELLIA has a falling-out with her sweet but annoying roommates, a falling-in with her handsome boss, Quinn, and a conflict with her soul-catcher brother, Damien, who is really taking a lot of heat from Satan for her disappearance. To make matters worse, Damien also disapproves of her growing connection with Quinn, whom he doesn't trust one bit. That alone has pitted the siblings against each other as Dhellia searches for her independence and Damien tries to keep her safe.
While on a quest for the other “keys,” DHELLIA recovers two amazing artifacts that contain the most dangerous secrets on Earth, ones that could, in the wrong hands, turn the tables between good and evil. Dhellia gears up to prepare to battle “downstairs” in a way that no one ever has!
DHELLIA is a darkly funny, fresh and sassy, fast-paced series about a young woman whose birthright is princess of the underworld—she’s mad as Hell about it, and is determined to beat the Devil at his own game!

“This book is fast-paced and flows wonderfully. When I first started it, the concept amazed me. I have no problem thinking that the daughter of the devil being rebellious, but the fact that she is rebellious against her father threw me for a loop. I think this is a perfect beginning and I am very excited to know that there is more to come.”
Jennifer Thomas – Reader

'Dhellia Has a Conscience' is the fabulous new book from one of my favourite authors, April M. Reign. Dhellia Hunt is a brassed-off, kick-ass, red-headed fire-cracker who just happens to be the Princess of Hell.

About the author
April M. Reign
81 books93 followersApril M. Reign was born and raised in Southern California by her happily married parents. She is the oldest of three daughters and considers both of her sisters to be her best friends.
Growing up, she was involved in many sports: softball, surfing, tennis, and Kenpo karate. Many weekends at the beach with her family included her father packing up the long boards and teaching all three daughters how to ride a wave. The activity that stands out the most for her is the thirteen years that she spent studying karate with her family. The family’s karate days remain as some of her fondest memories.
Sports weren’t the only activities that she enjoyed. She played the accordion for twelve years and even played for Jerry Lewis kids fundraisers. During those years, she learned how to read and write music.
Besides writing music, during her high school years, she also discovered her passion for writing words. At fifteen, she began writing poetry. By the time she reached the age of twenty, she was writing short stories, with no other intention than to get the stories from her mind to paper.
At twenty-one years old, she married and shortly after, two handsome sons graced her life. When her marriage ended, she faced the long, difficult path of raising her two boys into strong, well-mannered young men. She took on the task with fervor.
In order to support her children, she worked as a litigation analyst for ten years at a large company and began to pursue a career in law. After long hours in college and even more hours at the law library, while still raising her children alone, she realized that practicing law was not the dream that she wanted to live. She spent the next eleven years as a U.S. Customs Broker, working directly with the FDA and FWS, clearing international shipments into the country.
While she worked full time and raised two adolescent boys, she also decided to follow her dream to write a book. A year later, Enticing the Moon was published. Since then, she has written six more novels and several short stories, and has entered many writing contests, winning first place on several occasions.
As an indie author, April M. Reign writes and publishes her own books. With the increase in her book sales, she was able to give up her job in the corporate world and pursue her dream of writing stories which she hopes capture the attention and intrigue of her readers.
Readers can find April M. Reign’s eBooks on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and more online retailers. The books are also available in print at Lulu.com.

'Quest for the Keys' - Book 2 in the Dhellia series from April M. Reign takes up just after we left the friends at the end of 'Dhellia Has a Conscience'... We're back with D, Gavin (our resident wizard) and Jonas (our loveable vamp who is allergic to human blood.... yeah, you read right!!)
As you'd expect from April, QftK is packed with intrigue, action and adventure for the trio!!
Dhellia is beginning to realise just how serious her situation is and we see her begin to grow in this book!
We encounter more of the mysterious Quintus - but we are still unsure who and/or what he is and as before, we're left questioning his motives!?! D's big brother, Damien, doesn't trust Quinn in the slightest - but is this just big brother concern or is there something more to it?!?! Time will tell!!!
We are introduced to a few new characters - I get the feeling we'll encounter one or two of them in future books!!
We find out some more about The Keys and we discover what really happened to Dhellia's mother!
Tensions are mounting and I can't wait to see where April leads us in book 3, Trial by Fire....... It's gonna be interesting!!!!
