To Hell and Back
Eden Thomas broke the first rule of being a Don't fall in love. Worse yet, she fell in love with a preacher. The ultimate rookie mistake? She married him. Despite being dragged back to Hell by Lucifer himself, Eden will risk everything if it means seeing her earth-side husband, Cain, again.
On earth, devastated by the sudden and unexplained death of his wife, Cain grapples with grief, loss, and his faith while trying to keep a grip on reality. As Eden shows up in his dreams and daily life, he becomes increasingly unnerved and all the more desperate to keep her.
In Hell, Eden has problems of her own. The first? The sadistic and egotistical Devil himself, Lucifer. Eden can't stand him, yet he has his eyes set on her and will do everything in his power to keep her away from Cain. The second problem at hand? Eden can't deny the primal attraction to her sexy and sinful captor.
As the truth emerges and desperation mounts, Eden, Cain, and Lucifer must make decisions affecting all three of them. Can Eden keep both of her lives separate? Moreover, does she want to?
Hell & Back is a paranormal love triangle with angst, grief, and plenty of inferno-level spice. HEA guaranteed.

General: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🫦🫦🫦🫦
✨✨✨ To Hell and Back by S. Trout (@s.trout_writes), is a one handed PNR steamy novella to binge read in one sitting.
Dedication:
To all the angels who want to have their cake and eat it, too— at least in the form of book boyfriends.
Tropes:
🔥 Paranormal
🔥 Succubus x Preacher x Devil
🔥 He falls first
🔥 Love triangle
🔥 Enemies to lovers
🔥 MFM/FMF
🔥 BDSM elements
🔥 Impact play
As promised, I finished this novella in one sitting. The characters are well-developed: Eden, a succubus who has spent some time on Earth, Cain, her preacher husband; and Lucifer, as himself. Even if you find Lucifer unlikable at first, the story gradually reveals his perspective, making him more relatable. The plot is captivating, seamlessly blending intrigue with steamy scenes that are hot as hell.
Quotes:
“Be an angel and çome on my face, little vixen. You’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted,” Lucifer said before dragging his forked tongue over her çlit.
“I’d follow you anywhere, Eden. It doesn’t matter how great the cost is. Even if it’s to Hell and back.”

Loved it!!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
A spicy paranormal romance novella you will love ❤️
A paranormal romance novella you can finish in a couple of hours. Even though the book is short, it still has light world building and complex characters. My favorite character would have to be Cain, who is completely heartbroken by the recent death of his wife but is willing to go to hell for her. If that isn’t dedication, then I don't know what is!!
I really enjoyed how the relationships between all of the characters culminated with a surprising twist at the end. What do you think a priest, the devil, and a succubus have in common?

I loved this paranormal novella so much and even though the story was short it packed in some amazing character development and even a little world building. The story was so well done that it left me wanting more. The spice was hotter than Lucifer himself. Of course the devil would be my favorite character 😉

S. Trout never disappoints! To Hell and Back is a devilish novella that follows Satan and Cain and Eden and Lillith. This novella was so short that I need to read more. I honestly can't wait for Forbidden Obsessions now. Make sure you check out my new favorite author.
