One devil, one angel, and two brothers, born thousands of years apart, will serve together in a timeless experiment uniting them for one purpose. Book 6 of 9 in the Blue Series. Please read in numerical order. Against Gabriel’s wishes, Dillon follows Julie back into Hell, hoping to convince Azmodeus to loosen his hold on her soul long enough to allow her release. As a fire element stuck in a fortress of ice, David plays house with Louis while an invisible enemy lurks in the background. (Contains graphic violence and homosexual scenes, dark religious themes, and profanity)
The story for The Blue Series was first created in my head as a teenager growing up in Oceanside, California during the mid-eighties.
After graduating from SDSU as a registered nurse, I married, had two children, and raised a family after relocating to Boise, Idaho where I currently reside.
After so many years had passed, one day I decided to write a single page of the story. It then turned into a novel. Not realizing the story was so big, I wrote a second Volume. Forced to split Volume 2 into two parts due to its size, I continued to write Volumes 3 and 4 during the years 2006 through 2009, but the story still wasn't finished. After taking a break, I wrote Volumes 5 through 8 in the last two years, completing the series in late 2014.
Yet again I found this book a mixed bag of emotions. The development of the characters is always surprising, one can never let down ones guard. I agree with one comment from someone else, that at times you want to throw the book away, esp when you see such cruel treatment of individuals, no matter be they devil, Angel, human or other, but I persevered feeling I need to see it through and also out of wonderment, after all there are another 3 book!!! Was not expecting the Azmadeus twist though like the fact that even the arch devil can have some form of redemption, and the last pages!!!
I do think the constant need for even those who are 'good' to be developed into flawed characters is puzzling. No one comes out of this favourably entirely.
Had a wee chuckle at one stage when I found myself praying to God for David and Dillon ..... How sad is that... Totally hooked though not wholly contented. Well done Ms Dillon.

It was a big departure from my regular type of books I read but I liked well enough that I've read the whole series. I'm going to comment about the series as a whole. I've not read the M/M gay romance element before and there is a violence/rape element that left me a little off kilter but I could deal with it. I found the idea of the "good" angels being so sneaky and quick to follow their own agenda's and not caring about their loyalty to God much more bothersome. Again, all that said, it was well enough written, the characters brought to life enough to involve me in their futures, that I did want to keep reading just to see what would happen and to cheer on Dillon and hope he could save his brother David.
While the grammar is sometimes poor, and descriptions sometime aggravate me, I find myself on the 6th book of this series, despite telling myself at the middle of every book that *this* one will be the last.
