Road to Vengeance

Purgatory Prep Academy #5

by Kerry Keller

Seriously!! Can’t a girl catch a break here?One would think I earned a vacation after all the obstacles thrown at us while saving and surviving the seven layers of Hell. But evidently, thinking was the wrong move because the Fates slapped us silly and spit us directly into the Gauntlet.

Despite all the reassurances given, I’m not even remotely ready.

Certainly, after everything we’ve endured, the Gauntlet should be easy peasy, but of course, people had to get their panties in a bunch and throw us curveballs.

So now students are going missing, the Harpies have sharpened their claws, and a new enemy has decided to pop in. Only the Fates will know if this will be the last time Purgatory runs its course while vengeance is being dealt along the way.

About the author

Kerry Keller has an addiction to caffeine, swearing, sarcasm, and has no filter when talking in public. As an avid reader to escape the drama the world throws at us, she finally got the bug to write a story she would love to read herself. Being at the mercy of the voices in her head, she plans on writing more than just fantasy. Anything from paranormal to contemporary, to bully romance to best friends turn lovers, she plans on writing it. As long as the characters behave. She's often found yelling back at them and getting strange looks in public.

When not writing books, you can find her working in women's health care, in school, or being a single mother to a very sarcastic pre-teen boy. She swears she's a bad influence to him, so if you guys cross paths in the future... #sorrynot sorry.
She was born and raised in the midwest but has traveled all over the United State due to her time in the military, once upon a time, and is now currently living in Alaska.

We're back! It's been a long while since I've been in this world, but let me tell you it was worth the wait. Road to Vengeance was magnificent! I forgot how crazy this series is. Rez and the crew are back at the academy for less than a day before trouble starts. There's a gauntlet that they have to run. Deadly trials through multiple realms, where the rest of the study body has a chance to pick them off one by one. It was giving real HP and the Goblet of Fire vibes, especially since other schools are added to the mix. It was complete chaos. I loved that the world was expanding. A few things were mentioned that made me think spin-offs might be possible. One can only hope. The romance was excellent. It was a little angsty when the hanger-ons refused to take a hint. Thankfully, Kerry didn't torture me for long. Sometimes justice is served, and I couldn't be happier.


If it's not one thing, it's another. Rez has too many enemies to count, from the Harpies to the rebels to an unwanted family reunion. Rez and the gang go from one catastrophe to another. I can't wait for all the bad guys to get what's coming to them. At least I got to see L.A.M.B. again. I love those guys. There were some fantastic twists and turns. Moni becoming a complete badass is one of them; I loved how confident she was in this one. As usual, the book is loaded with humor. Between Moni and Lynx, I was cracking up, but some of the others jumped in too. The banter between Lynx and Knots was perfection. Road to Vengeance is an incredibly fun read. I know it's been a while, but if you're a fan of the series, you don't want to miss out.

AMAZING 🩷

Im soooo obsessed with this series!! Rez is just so dang cool and a total bad@ss!! I love all her mates too and whats up with her and luci?!?! She feels a pull?! I would totally love to see that happen i bet JP would be ok with ir being he didnt grow up with lucifer as his father figure so it wouldn’t really be that awkward and i really felt for the guy when he was telling JP how lucky he was to have her. Im also kinda hoping she can tame Cain and make him a better person and they can have a close brother sister relationship taking out their evil father! I cant wait to see what happens next. This is definitely a series ill be rereading many many times!!! 🩷💚🧡🩵💙💜❤️💛🩶

That was spectacular

Well, that was spectacular! I dove back in to this story and was rewarded with love, family, found family, polyamory, besties for life, adventures and side missions from Hell. And finally, finally, some vengeance.

another Great One

I think this might have been my favorite of the series so far. I went back to reread all the others and have kept the previous book in my Kindle Unlimited waiting for this one to come out. It was amazing.

Another why choose that could've been amazing but author unfortunately completely ruined it by adding MM.

Fast paced and fun

I think this story has gotten better with each book! I'm so glad there was no cliff hanger but now I'm already counting down to the next one!
