Adam is beyond thrilled at finding his mate. Living in the Hell realm will take some getting used to but at least he has friends close by. His big mate is perfect, Adam loves his minions, but Hell is missing color, laughter, and love, and Adam can’t let that stand.
Finding his place in Hell is easier than Adam expected but trying to change the old ways of demons will take his mate, friends, family, and maybe a little visit from Lucifer.
Mal
Mal had given up ever finding his soulmate. As Master of punishment of the Hell realm, Mal is the top demon. Adam leaping into his arms is a dream come true. Adam has the biggest heart of anyone Mal has ever met. Not only does he light up Mal’s world, but Adam is taking on the tasks of protecting the lower-ranking demons.
Not every demon in the Hell realm approves of the changes Adam is making but Mal supports his mate one hundred percent. It’s time to remind the realm who is the biggest and most powerful demon around.
This book contains M/M sexual content (men having sex with each other) and a Daddy/ boy relationship. This book is an exploration of a relationship between two (male) consensual adults who are looking for love and acceptance. All characters in sexual situations are over the age of consent.
No cheating or cliffhangers and an HEA is a guarantee.
I liked this book for the characters, some we already know through the other books in the series and also for the banter. The connection between the MCs was in my opinion okay, but not as good as the connection in the first few books. I still would continue reading the series! :)

I really enjoyed this story with Adam who was determined to bring colour to Mel's life as well as make improvements to the lives of the lesser demons. I loved Adam's sunny disposition and his confidence in his convictions. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BSDM-like Daddy/boy dynamic.
This book focuses on the Hell Realm. Athena Steller used the realm to bring another fated mate couple together. Mal, Master of Punishment and Adam, half Fae and half dryad. Adam being almost the last one to mate under Alpha Axel from book 1, is visiting for the mating dinner of Ash and Seb when Mal shows up. When Adam runs by Mal when he comes to a complete stop and before you know it both Mal and Adam are kissing and groping. From there, it becomes a whirlwind of sexual desire and so forth. Adam is determined to have his minions, lol, and Mal is set on reminding Adam they are not minions. Athena did an excellent job in writing book 7. 5 stars ⭐️💜
I enjoyed this story so much. Adam was such a delight and was the perfect for Mal. He seemed so scary at first but Adam made him stop working himself ragged and find joy. I loved how Adam wanted the demons to be treated as equals(love how he called them his minions)and brought color to Mal's house and made so many friends. I loved how he stood up to Zacorah and later was amused at how he had misjudged Tristan who needed lessons on how to make friends and not be a stalker. I can't wait to read about Levi and Mason.
This is my favourite book of the series so far Adam is everything the hell dimension needed. He’s bringing peacefulness to the smaller Demons and helping them find their purpose. Love the fact the first thing he did when he found out they weren’t being treated properly was fight for them.
Mal intrigued me from the very beginning in the last book, I was so hoping he would find his other half as soon as he was introduced. I laughed when I found out it was Adam it was perfect.
I enjoy this series a great deal. It's just hard to find books in this genre that isn't 50 plus % sex. Honestly if not for that this would be a 5 star. I actually scroll through the sex scenes. I know a lot of folks enjoy the heat but we could cut it in half and still have a good shut novel but with more indepth story telling. Either was this is a good addition and I can not wait to see Levi's book and maybe Lucifers!
It's so hard to believe that I've been following this series since 2022. Honestly, I don't know what I'll do with myself when it ends. But I'm kinda sad ever since Bryce's, Nate's, and River's story, I never had a connection with any of the main characters in their own story. Although I'm keeping an eye out for Gavin's.
Excited for Levi's book, especially because of Tristan, I wanna know what role he'll play in Levi's story. NGL, I was hoping Levi would also have two mates.
I love Adam!!! His heart and sass are just perfect for the Hell realm. Mal and the other demons have no idea what they’re in for!! Minions for the win!!!! 100 is a perfect number…
I love all the changes being made for the demons! Mal and Adam are adorable and the minions things was great! Can't wait for the next book! They always hit the Emotional Reading spot just right.
I hope the author continues to expand this world. The characters are always interesting and pull me right in. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books so far in this series, but this one was definitely my favourite. The MC's are makes the book definitely something you don't want to put down until it is finished
I can’t get enough of these stories. The world is amazing with lots of fascinating characters. And the mating gifts are out of this world. I hope we get Levi’s story soon. And maybe even Lucifer’s. Hey a girl can dream.
I enjoyed Adam and Mal’s story. It’s hot, fun, and very low angst. Adam has always been one of my favorites and he is well matched with Mel and perfect for his new role rehabbing Hell. I’m looking forward to Levi and Mason’s book coming next in the series
Adam, being offended by the word "lesser demon," would lose his mind at "Thing One" and "Thing Two." It was a pleasure to experience Mal finding his happiness and Adam finding someone who fit him that perfectly. Can't wait for Levi's story
Omg, I love Adam and Mal!! They’re exactly what the other one needs to complete each other and make their immortality amazing!! I love how much Adam loves his “minions”. Mal also has realized that family is important and not impossible for the Master of Punishment!!! I’m excited for Levi’s story!!
I love this series, the humor is great as is the story itself. But this series needs someone to seriously edit them. Spelling issues, missing words, a slew of other issues that I can’t even name them all. Editing, editing, editing.,,
Another great addition to the series! Very excited for Levi’s story! Adam was such a sweetheart and I’m so happy he is out helping in the demon realm! He deserves to be happy!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I didn’t liked Adam before. He’s a brat and too extra. But in this book, I kinda loved him. This book made me laugh. I can’t wait for Levi’s story.
I really enjoyed this book. It’s a sweet, happy but steamy insta-love story as well as another good addition to the Unlocked Mates Series. I thought Adam and Master of Punishments aka Mal (to his found family) were great together and fate sure knew what they were doing pairing them together, as they were perfect for each other. Their chemistry was explosive, as well as hot as f*ck. I loved seeing Adam stand up to his massive demon mate, and put him in his place when he’s doing something that Adam doesn’t agree with. Adam took to being the Master’s mate like a duck to water, the position suits him very well. He’s slowly getting closer to his 97 minion demons, only 88 more to go. I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series as each of them find their mates. It’s Levi’s turn to finally get his own happily ever after next. I’d recommend this book, series and author to everyone.
I was so excited to see that we got a full length story for Adam and Mel! Adam is the sweetest and sassiest boy so far and he is perfect for Mel!! I love the fact that he has found his place in the realms and is make a difference for the demons. It also exciting to see him help the demons to grow and come into their own in a lot of ways. These books are amazing and I love reading about their found family and adam with his minions just keep adding to that amazing family!!! Can’t wait for Levi’s story!!! And fingers crossed that maybe even Lucifer gets a mate story as well!!
I liked it! Adam is super sweet and I loved seeing he being pair off. I wish we had gotten more story regarding all the changes that he is implementing in hell, like what’s been happening in terms of results (I know there are more mates but I mean regarding placement and such)
