To Hell with Bad Decisions

Rate this book
Climbing the infernal ladder isn't easy when you're a Debauchery demon in Hollywood. Just ask Reagan Valentine, an overworked, underappreciated, and severely underpaid succubus. When her boss, the Demon of Debauchery, approaches her with a suspicious task, Reagan thinks she might finally have the upper hand.

…until he adds one impossible condition: corrupt a demon hunter to earn her seat at the top.

As her boss' scheme twists darker than she expected, Reagan sets her sights on Jeremy Roache, a wounded, unstable Nephilim whose soul might just damn them both. Between tumultuous demonic politics and a dark past that won't stay buried, Reagan discovers that mixing business with pleasure might be her deadliest game yet. It's the last thing she has time for, but with her city in flames and her broodline hanging by a thread, Reagan has no choice but to play, even if the soul she's meant to corrupt is the only one capable of saving what little humanity she has left.

To Hell with Bad Decisions is the second installment in the Hellion Harlot Collection and follows the events of The Bombshell Devil's Advocate, where we get to see the fallout and consequences of October Winters' actions and how they affect the demonic world. Perfect for fans of Cruel Intentions, Moulin Rouge, True Blood, and Sin City, ‘To Hell with Bad Decisions’ is a dark, seductive tale of ambition, corruption, and the fine line between good and evil.

The Hellion Harlot series is a truly unique genre, and so enjoyable to read. Each book focuses on a very villainous FMC. The books create a special experience, dripping with nostalgic 80s music and amazing artwork done by Nikkita herself. I said it about the Bombshell Devil’s Advocate, and I’ll say it about this book as well, it truly is a whole experience unlike other novels I read.

This book focuses on Reagan Valentine, a debauchery demon trying to make her way up the Hollywood demonic food chain. She makes a deal with her demon boss to corrupt a demon hunter in order to make a better life for herself. In comes Jeremy (Declan’s apprentice if you’ve read the first book), whom she sets her demonic sights on. Seeing her humanity flicker while on her devilish mission was the best. I really and truly enjoyed this second instalment in the series. It was a fantastic read the whole way through. I love all the characters, and I can’t wait to see what book 3 has in store. I’m ready to dive into Charlie and Indie's story 😍

Side note…… I need to know what’s next for October and Declan because the first book left me with my jaw on the floor! And this one left my jaw hanging JUST AS MUCH! I need so many answers. I’ll be patiently waiting for the next book.

"Eat your heart out Mr. Nephilim; my webs are woven with bad decisions, and this is the last one you'll ever make."

If The Bombshell Devil's Advocate is about a woman who is unapologetically herself, To Hell With Bad Decisions is about an absolutely badass boss bitch learning to unapologetically demand what is rightfully hers. To claw her way out from the men who hold her down. A story of a woman who knows her worth and is sick of receiving less than she deserves.

"Welcome to my neon purgatory."

Nikkita Bell takes us back to the City of Angels (and demons) in this second instalment in the Hellion Harlots series, and there could not have been a better way to do it. Reagan Valentine is struggling to keep her club afloat in the aftermath of October Winters' hellish Halloween. Demon hunters stalk the city and her own kin are of no help, frankly they're making things worse. When her boss comes to her with a new, impossible challenge, Reagan has no choice but to accept. The challenge you ask? To corrupt a demon hunter and earn her very own seat at the table.

"I'm not the antidote he so desperately caves. I'm the poison."

Reagan is the ULTIMATE character. She's debaucherous (of course), diabolical, seductive, manipulative, and she is DONE with taking shit. Then we enter our broken angel boy. Hot off the events of Book one, Jeremy Roache is, frankly, a mess (in the best way). So the two of them together?! Mixing business with pleasure might be a mistake, but hell if we don't ALL get to enjoy that ride along with them!

"But the road to hell is paved with bad decisions, and I'm already halfway there."

Just a few things you'll find in To Hell with Bad Decisions:
🕷️ 80's metal and punk inspired vibes & music!
🍒 Misfits to found family
🕷️ bi4bi rep
🍒 Gothic neo-noir vibes
🕷️ Enemies to lovers
🍒 Angel x Demon
🕷️ Morally Charcoal FMC
🍒 Hollywood 2003 setting - NOSTALGIA!
🕷️ Trauma & healing

Listen, there was not a chance in hell I wasn't going to love this book.

I've talked before about what I call "soul characters"; the ones who seem to echo your own soul laid bare on the page. Miss Reagan Valentine takes it a step further. My dear Mrs. Bell, you have stepped inside my chest, ripped at the cold heart that lies there, and left blood on the pages - in the absolute best way. Darling, you make even the wicked parts a mischievous beauty. And if the redheaded demoness pulled the bombshell out of the darkness, well the bombshell can claim that same honour and the two of them are partying it up in the firelight right now.

"We're a motley crew if I've ever known one. Bad Decisions has never really felt like home. But for the first time, here-with these damned creatures-I believe it could."

Nikkita does it again! I am forever obsessed with the alternative LA she has created. Raegan’s journey was incredible and nothing like I could’ve ever predicted! Raegan fights for what she wants so badly, I feel for her immensely. The introduction of new characters and back stories has me thirsty for so much more.

While I received this as an eARC, I will 100% re-reading (out December 17th) so I can see all of Nikkita’s beautiful chapter artwork.

I am forever a part of the Hellion Harlot Club.

Eat your heart out, Mr. Nephilim.

I have consumed - and been consumed.

Oh. My. GOD. There are not enough words in the English language to explain what this book just did to me.

I am STILL sitting here, wide-eyed and feral, trying to process the absolute chaos, tension, and sinful brilliance I just witnessed. Every page had its claws in me. It held me hostage until the very last word. Pure. Damn. Perfection.

Book two in the Hellion Harlot collection. You follow the dangerously sexy Regean Valentine as she’s tasked with corrupting a demon hunter… and trust me, it will haunt you—in the most intoxicating, addictive way possible.

A massive thank you to my love, Nikkita Bell, for blessing me with my very first ARC and officially popping my cherry ;)

Prepare yourself. you will not be disappointed.

Tropes:
🔥 redheaded demoness
🔥 another book, another deal
🔥 corruption at its finest
🔥 found family
🔥 enemies to lovers
🔥 demoness x demon hunter

I absolutely LOVE:
🖤 Nikkita Bell
🖤 BAMF FMC #2

My favorite quote:
“Eat your heart out, Mr. Nephilim; my webs are woven with bad decisions, and this is the last one you’ll ever make.”

“A foolish, innocent wish. I’m not the antidote he so desperately craves. I’m the poison.”

My thoughts:
Another book, another deal with a demon.

So, we didn’t learn? We didn’t learn in TBDA - don’t make deals with demons. Period. They’ll stop at nothing to get their way, even using all your hopes and dreams as a motivator. Don’t fall for it! In THWBD, Reagan agrees to a deal with the Prime that seems too good to be true and… it is. It would grant her the one thing she wants most, but at what cost? And would the payoff be worth it in the end?

#TeamVillain

Nikkita continues to amaze me with how all of her characters are so well-written, especially the FMC’s. October in TBDA and now, Reagan in THWBD! They’re simply perfection and just invigorating - both villainous and still, you want to cheer them on. True, they are morally gray in every sense of the word, but they also aren't just “villains.” They are written with way more depth. Both of these women had less than ideal beginnings and are only doing their best. However, do the demons and the Primes seem sketchy as hell, yes… they do. So, will Nikkita have an overreaching redemption arc? Gosh, I hope so!

Vampires, demons and ( )….. oh MY!

Indigo introduces vampires to Hellion Harlot - and I couldn’t be MORE excited to see other monsters! I’m getting Crescent City vibes with the angels, demons and are these good guys actually good guys? I can’t wait for book #3!

Ohhhh my god this book this series. I knew after reading The Bombshell Devil’s Advocate, that I’d be desperate to get Reagan’s story and oh boy did we ever.

First of all, everyone is hot. Everyone is super hot that it’s hard to concentrate.

Now with that out of the way, we love Reagan so much. She is just a demon taking care of herself and doing her best to not let men ruin her. We love a queen who knows her self worth. When her boss comes to Reagan with a challenge she absolutely can’t refuse, what’s a demon to do but corrupt a demon hunter?

Enter Jeremy, who is a disaster, but we still love him. Watching these two interact with each other was one of the most fun reading experiences I’ve had in awhile. I loved the banter, the vibes, the soundtrack, the just everything.

Also Chapter 9….CHAPTER 9?!?!?! I’m still not recovered. And I need book 3 like yesterday.

TBDA and THWBD were some of my favourite books I’ve read this year and I cannot wait to see what Nikkita does next!

Thank you so much Nikkita Bell for the advanced copy of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I am OBSESSED with this book! It takes everything I loved about TBDA and cranks the heat, the chaos, and the emotional stakes all the way up. Reagan is the perfectly flawed, fiercely compelling succubus heroine I didn’t know I needed, and her will they won’t they with Jeremy had me glued to every page.

If you love dark glam vibes, sinful politics, and that delicious blur between desire and danger this sequel absolutely delivers. Seductive, sharp, and wickedly addictive. I’m already dying for the next one. 😈✨

Thank you so SO MUCH to Nikkita Bell for the ARC and the opportunity to join Team Scorpi 🦂❤️‍🔥

To Hell with Bad Decisions | Nikkita Bell

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤/5

"To Hell With Bad Decisions" by Nikkita Bell is Book 2 in the Hellion Harlots series and honestly? I'd sell my soul in a heartbeat for more villainous women and infernal chaos.

Reagan Valentine is a debauchery demon grinding away in Hollywood, criminally overworked and severely underpaid (our girl is relatable). When her boss Cherry, the Demon of Debauchery himself, dangles a promotion in front of her, Reagan thinks she's finally got her shot at the big leagues.

The catch? She has to corrupt a demon hunter. Specifically, a Nephilim.

Enter Jeremy Roache: broken, rudderless, and definitely not what she signed up for. What starts as a calculated mission spirals into something far more dangerous when mixing business with pleasure becomes her riskiest move yet. With demonic politics exploding and her entire world catching fire, Reagan's forced to play a game where the soul she's supposed to destroy might be the only thing that can save whatever humanity she's got left.

The forbidden love, the savage betrayal, the banter that had me cackling... this story hits every note and gives us villainous FMCs in the most empowering way possible. Our girl Reagan doesn't diminish herself for anyone, and watching her command every scene was absolute perfection.

Now, I’ve GOT TO talk about how Nikkita Bell completely transformed Jeremy's character. In Book 1, I would have gladly bought him a one-way ticket to Mars. Now, I can’t flip pages fast enough as I have a full blown crisis realizing I’ve found myself in a hot, sweaty, SWOON for this former golden retriever. The evolution here is INSANE and it showcases exactly how talented Nikkita is at character development.

As if that wasn’t enough, this book is a hybrid graphic novel with a killer soundtrack and immaculate neo-noir alternative LA vibes. The visuals, the emotion, the expanding lore around Reagan and Cherry's history, and the new characters (hi Indigo baby!) weave together perfectly. Oh, and how I loved the Toby Winties cameo. That glorious witch. I will never get enough of her and I wish I could hire her as my life coach.

Tropes!

🔥 Succubus x nephilim
⚔️ Morally gray FMC
🖤 Forbidden romance
💔 Betrayal & backstabbing
🏰 Gothic neo noir Los Angeles
👑 Corrupting the innocent
💗 Found fFamily
🔪 Touch her and d*e
🎭 Enemies to lovers energy

The Hellion Harlots series continues to deliver villainous women doing unhinged things, and I'm already desperate for book three.

Read The Bombshell Devil's Advocate first, then dive into this absolute masterpiece. Thank you to Nikkita Bell for the opportunity to read and rave about this book. Your stories are to die for and your readers, fans and friends hope you never stop raising hell.

4.5 stars.

Reagan is an overworked and underappreciated Debauchery demon who has her eyes set on climbing the infernal demon hierarchy. When her boss approaches her with a special task, Reagan thinks she might finally have the upper hand…until he adds one impossible condition: corrupt a demon hunter.

TO HELL WITH BAD DECISIONS is the second book in the Hellion Harlot series and picks up where THE BOMBSHELL DEVIL’S ADVOCATE leaves off, but this time in the POV of Reagan, a Debauchery demon. It’s a dark and gritty urban fantasy set in Hollywood in 2003 with paranormal and neo-noir vibes. As with the first book, this novel features a track list for chapter titles that create a really fun playlist that matches the vibes of the chapter content.

I had a great time diving into Hollywood and specifically, Bad Decisions and The Starlight, Reagan’s strip club and motel, through the eyes of this feisty, determined, and ambitious Debauchery demon. She’s fiercely loyal and protective of those she takes under her wings. She’s also tough as nails and won’t back down from a fight. I loved getting to know her better through these pages, including getting to know more about her past and how she came to be a demon. It was also really interesting to learn more about the Primes and the powers demons in particular have. There’s also a closer tie to demon hunters via Jeremy, a character met in the first book, in this novel than its predecessor, allowing the reader to get to know more about them. Jeremy is a character that I loved to hate in book one… and now a character that I might just love? His arc is excellent.

I loved the twisted scheme Reagan is set on pulling off in order to climb her way up the totem pole in the demon hierarchy. She has a tall order to satisfy: corrupting the incorruptible, and it’s so much fun to see how she goes about this task. TO HELL WITH BAD DECISIONS is quite a journey with several twists that always kept me coming back for more. There’s a flicker of romance and lots of spice within these pages and I was definitely here for it. The spicy scenes are seductive, wicked, and well written, an excellent combo.

The ending leaves a lot of room for the continuation of this series, and I cannot wait to see what will come next!

I would like to thank the author, Nikkita Bell, of this advanced digital copy for the opportunity to read this novel in exchange for an honest review! All opinions expressed are my own.

Where to begin!

I LOVEDDD this one – even more than the first one! Never would have thought someone would be topping badass October Winters but then Ms. Reagan Valentine comes along! 🤘🏻

& don’t even get me started on JEREMY. The Jimmothy, Jiggory, Jimminy etc etc jokes were fun when we couldn't stand him but now it’s time to put some respect on his mf name!! I LOVED who he became in this one omg. Even with the way TBDA ended, I somehow fooled myself into thinking this ending wouldn’t drop my jaw to the floor – but boy was I wrong! I CAN. NOT. WAITTT. to get more of him!

Howeverrr, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Charlie! For a character who says next to nothing to have such an impact in this book was truly masterful work! GIMME MOREEEE. Can’t wait to see the art (of him especially!) in this hybrid graphic novel – drawn by Nikkita herself!

Some other things I really enjoyed:
🍒 Loved Cherry in the first book, I’m glad we got to see so much more of him in this one. I didn’t know where it was going but man did I enjoy the journey.
🕷 The flashbacks! They were awesome – learning the back story of how she became a demon was one of the best parts of this book by far. Valentina, black widows, early 1900s Savannah, GA – what’s not to love!
🍒 The descriptions of California make me want to go sooo bad! I can visualize everything described like a movie playing out in my head. Whenever I make it there, I think I will have to pack my books for some photo shoots at the spots mentioned! Hollywood Forever Cemetery being at the top of the list!
🕷 Last but certainly not least - the playlist! Again! I'll be enjoying this one for a long time!

Started 2025 reading The Bombshell Devil’s Advocate in January and ending the year reading To Hell with Bad Decisions in December is awesome. Full circle moment. I hope this ends up being like a 10 book series because I just want MOREEE. You won’t want to miss the Hellion Harlots coming up! Our girl Indy in particular! 😍

Thank you @nikkitabell for this ARC!

“Dirty deeds don’t come cheap in this city, and a demon’s got to pay rent.”

Reagan Valentine is a debauchery demon living in California just trying to get by when her Prime aka Cherry 🍒 offers her a deal to get out of dealing with The Starlight motel and strip joint Bad Decisions and moving her on up to bigger and better things. The thing she has to deliver… a Nephilims corrupt soul.

Enter Jeremy Roache a very emotionally unstable nephilim that has just lost his mentor, Declan Lovejoy. Regan doesn’t miss her chance she has to try and corrupt this nephilim and really how hard could it be, his soul is already flickering with a little darkness.

This book will have you smiling, laughing, swooning, sweating and you need to prepare for an overload of different emotions. This story, just like “The Bombshell Devil’s Advocate”, blew me away entirely. I love expanding on Reagan and Cherry’s past. The addition of new characters like Indigo, Charlie and Thane as well as the same brilliant imagery and emotion Nikkita Bell evokes on each page.

I have love the Hellion Harlots so far and can’t wait for book 3 to dive back into the world of kickass villainous women doing kickass things!

Don't walk...but run like hell to read To Hell with Bad Decisions on release day because Nikkita Bell has done it again and blown me away with her world and the women that devour it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Yes...that's 6 stars!)
🌶️🌶️/5

I cannot describe how much I loved this sequel in the Hellion Harlots series, but I'm so honored that I got to read an advanced copy. This world is absolutely delicious and the characters in it speak to my dark and twisted soul.

Once again, Nikkita Bell's writing is outstanding and reads like poetry to me. Her descriptions of scenes are so visceral...you can see the light cracks on the floor...you can FEEL the velvet sheets on the bed. The conversations between characters are so engaging and never, ever dull...I could read an entire novel of just Reagan and Indigo talking to each other.

I'm completely enthralled in this world, and the women Nikkita writes about are so badass it drives me insane in the best possible way. If you haven't read The Devil's Bombshell Advocate, go do it right this second so you can fall in love with October Winters first, and then immediately Reagan Valentine second. You will not regret it, I promise you.

🕸️🍒"I know better than to flirt with death. But the road to Hell is paved with bad decisions, and I'm already halfway there."🍒🕸️

I knew without a doubt that Nikkita would give us another epic and intense ride in Hollywood!!

This book was fantastic in every way! This series gives everything you could want in a true paranormal romance, keeping in mind that it is far from over! We learn so much more about the Prime demons and demonic hierarchy as well as what it takes to survive at the bottom of the food chain.

Book 2 follows our stunning succubus, Reagan and our mostly innocent demon hunter as they form the most unlikely bonds. Their relationship is one that needs a diagram to understand with all of the twist and turns thrown their way and winding through it is the fun part 😏
Do you think a holy boy could ever love a demon? How about a demoness with everything to prove falling for a man that is nothing more than a pawn?

You'll have to read To Hell with Bad Decisions to find out! And be ready to make some of your own bad decisions along the way❤️‍🔥

The Hellion Harlot world has quickly become one of my favorite worlds to lose Myself in. Nikita's writing pulls you in and doesn't let go till the bitter end. Im obsessed with each character, even if they absolutely do suck (I'm talking about you DL). The sprinkles we're fed of each side character is just enough to crave more of them, because they're all so interesting. You can't help but to want their life story!
I maaay be bias, because I'm a sucker for a succubus book, but this was an easy

I want to be raegans friend (or girlfriend) so badly! She gives so much to those she cares for, she deserves the world.. and I wanna give it to her dammit Toby, why you do my girl like
that?!
I can't wait for what's to come, Nikkita! I need more of my girls!!!
I already know Indigo & Charlie are about to have me in a CHOKEHOLD.
"But here's the thing about darkness: once they've had a taste... they always come back begging for more."
"I want to love freely." My words are barely above a whisper. I glance over at Valentina, whose beautifully full lips curl into a knowing smile. "I want to be free of the shackles of polite society, far away from the righteous and hateful.
"I'm showing them-all of them-exactly what they're dealing with, that a human-turned-demon who clawed her way from the bottom could outshine them all. And every demon in the room-Sired, Turned, even Prime-holds their breath. Finally, they see me for who I really am: a demon who corrupted the incorruptible."

Welp, if I ever need a pick me up/bad bitch boost, I’m gonna grab a @nikkitabell book because she writes female empowerment oh so well. “Take what you want and never apologize for it.” 🍒
*Plus, the banter and funnies?! Still cracking up over “Bad to the boner.” . 😂

Reagan Valentine is the sexy, strong succubus we all already knew she was, but getting more of her story was so nice. Especially, Miss Valentina😏

“If you fail to make her come, I will tear this door down, tie you to that chaise, and force you to watch how it’s done. Over. And over. And over again.“ 🫦

And the Jeremy whiplash?! Pesky germ in Winters book, but then be rooting for him and Reagan in hers ( Love a good opposites attract moment😈 ) to…😧?! I’m already so ready for book 3!

(Also, PLEASE tell me Indy gets her own soon! I adore her.) And that ending?!? You know what, just give me this tv series. I love books where the visual descriptions are done so well that I can truly picture it on the big screen and you did just that!

🔥"The road to Hell is paved with bad decisions, and I'm already halfway there."

Nikkita Bell is seriously one of the most talented people I have met this year!
This is the second book in the Hellion Harlots series and it kept me on my toes just as much (if not more!!!) than book 1

if demons and supernatural and corruption and angels and devils are your thing....
AND INCREDIBLE ARTWORK this series is for you

I feel like I am slowly climbing this pinnacle of anticipation with each book I read wondering where Nikkita is taking us because I genuinely don't know and honestly that's most of the fun!
The stakes just keep rising higher with each book. There's more betrayal, more coruption, more deconstruction and heartbreak. But it's lead by these badass FMC characters that quite literally don't take any shit from anybody - INCLUDING LUCIFER HIMSELF and his demon spawn

I love the setting and the ties to these incredible rockstar songs
it's just a whole vibe being in Nikkita's head and I am so itching to see what comes next!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME NIKKITA?? Steal my soul and call me a demon, because this was phenomenal and I would now like to marry my ultimate book wife, Reagan. Please and thank you.
This book was everything. Honestly it deserves more than 5 stars. Nikkita Bell is a master of world building and creating characters. This book, much like its predecessor, was villiany and sin you can passionately get behind. I fell in love with Reagan while reading The Bombshell Devil’s Advocate and so imagine my excitement when I learned the whole second book, To Hell with Bad Decisions, would be about her. I am obsessed.
I absolutely love how different each of these books are and how diverse the voices of the characters are, but the story still manages to flow so seamlessly from book to book.
This book had me screaming and kicking my feet. The plot twists had my jaw dropping and honestly I felt like crying when the book had to come to an end.
I am enthralled with the Hellion Harlot series and I can not wait to see what comes next and to fall in love with another villainous woman.

Where do I even begin?

Reagan “on your knees” Valentine had me in a chokehold from start to finish. From a naive little debutante to a badass debauchery demon? Sign me up!
I loveeee seeing a story told from a succubus’s POV, and being ACCURATE to their behavior.😈

Don’t get me wrong, I adore a cliche damsel in distress, but Nikkita creates genuine, dirty, villainous women that leave you wanting more while you piece together your broken heart and I’m so so sooo here for it.
I’ll be honest, I’d happily be a victim.

This world has me captivated. Obsessed. Enthralled. I need more!

More Toby, more Reagan, and dare I say… more Indie? We got a little taste of Reagan’s gothic little vampire, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds with this one!!

Book 1? Masterpiece.
Book 2? Masterpiece.

You cannot go wrong with picking up a Nikkita Bell book and this is a series I will take NO critique on.

Holy hell she did it again. This book had me intoxicated as if by Reagan's pheromones. Nikkita crushed it. I'm absolutely obsessed with everything she writes. And her illustrations make me melt.

When first meeting Reagan in The Bombshell Devil's Advocate, I was enthralled by her character, and she does not disappoint. I'm so glad this wicked lady, demoness, got her own book. But Jiggory- I mean Jeremy... well how the hell did you make me fall for him? I loved every minute of cruelty thrown his was in Bombshell. But now... dare I say that I am team Jeremy. The man has been watching and learningggg!
Plus I love a tortured man.

As with Bombshell, I loved everyones antics and was rooting for all their bad behavior. Cherry definetly gets a shoutout for being wildly entertaining and terrible!

And damn, that reckoning had me in a chokehold. Hell fucking yessss. I was kicking my feet. I ate it up. And as always, that ending was diabolical. I expected nothing less honestly.

It all comes down to a series of bad decisions…

In the second book in the Hellion Harlot series, we pick right up where we left off after October Winters’ book The Bombshell Devil’s Advocate. This time around we follow Reagan Valentine and her charge to corrupt the Nephilim, Jeremy Roache, for her boss the Demon of Debauchery.

What we get is a look at corruption, the choices we make to preserve or lose our humanity, and a look at what happens when we learn that maybe some of our choices weren’t truly our own…

This book is dark and decadent and a look at life beneath the veneer of glamour that is normally thrown over stories of Hollywood. We see how Reagan came to be bound to Cherry, and just how much no one is ready for hell to truly come down on the demon world.

The push and pull between Reagan and Jeremy held so much tension, right along with the glimpses into what Reagan is willing to do to claim her spot in the demon hierarchy. The problem is, the game is rigged and what we end up with is an explosion that will leave no soul untouched. I can’t wait for more 😉😈.

Thank you so much to the author for the ARC! It’s the best combo of graphic novel and book 🖤.

This continuation of the Hellion Harlot series leaves me even hungrier for more than the first book did. Reagan Valentine just earned her way to being my favourite FMC with just the right balance of villainous ambition and human heart. But don’t get it twisted - we know the morally darker-than-grey women of this series are no good girls.

I adored getting to know Reagan better after already loving her in book #1. Plus being introduced to new characters with the early threads of their own storylines has my attention peaked!

Nikkita's writing is amazing and allows me to vividly imagine the grungy, early 2000s Hollywood setting of the story. Plus her iconic use of a track list as the chapter titles build an immersive playlist that really sets the tone of this world.

I devoured this book and suggest you do the same!

Eat your heart out ;)

I couldn't put this book down! I was excited to see another installment to this series and couldn't wait to read it. Sure enough, Nikkita Bell did not disappoint! Book two is a devliously delicious sequal in the Hellion Harllot Series in the eyes of the succubus Reagan Valantine.

The character development was fenominal. You get to see Reagan's struggles and what she has sacrificed to get where she is. A total babe in and of herself, Reagan is put in a peculiar situation that allows her to take the reigns, if you will, against her boss. All she needs to do is corrupt thr incorruptiable for a sweet little slice of debaturchy goodness. Easy enough right?

I give her five stars out of five. Thr spice is a lot more heavier this round and boy is it spicy, I give her a four out of five.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Ghouls and Goblins- She’s done it again! 🕷️Nikkita Bell🕸️ follows her absolutely EPIC debut in the Hellion Harlot series with this masterpiece, “To Hell with Bad Decisions”. Enter Reagan Valentine💋-a delightfully cunning debauchery demon who will stop at nothing to secure her place at the top of a hellish hierarchy. Our look behind the black velvet curtain tickles the darkest parts of my soul in the best way humanly (and otherwise) possible. From righteous nephilim brawls, to demons being demons🍒,and badass women doing the Devil’s work- readers will completely devours this one!
Get ready to slip into something demonic 🔥and eat your fucking heart out. 🖤

This book grabbed me by the throat and refused to let go and honestly? I loved that for me.

The vibes are dark, messy, seductive, and kind of unhinged in the best way. It’s one of those reads where you keep thinking “oh this might be a bad idea” and then immediately turn the page anyway because you’re already emotionally invested. The MC energy is feral, sharp, and exhausted by everyone’s nonsense, which made her impossible not to root for.

There’s tension everywhere power plays, bad choices, attraction that absolutely should not be happening and it all just works. It feels gritty and confident and doesn’t apologize for being morally questionable. Those are my favorite kinds of books.

Unhinged vibes. Loved it!

Bell can do no wrong in my opinion. I was honoured to beta read this beauty, and is it possible that I love Raegan even more than Toby? But also Cherry has to be one of the most hilarious characters, you want to hate him, but you can't. When I finished this book, I stared at the wall for a few minutes because that ending was so jaw dropping.

While I do think these stories can be read as standalones, together they come together to weave an overaching plot and I can't wait to see what journey Bell takes us on next.

To Hell With Bad Decisions is book two in the Hellion Harlot series. In this book we are blessed with following the absolutely stunning and sexy Reagan Valentine while she corrupts a demon hunter. THWBD is a hybrid graphic novel with incredible artwork illustrated by the author herself. What cant this woman do!?

I love absolutely everything about this series. Its gritty, nostalgic of the 80s and early 2000s music, so sexy, so many sassy women going for what they want and amazing character arcs/development. I flew through this book in a day.

Damn! This book is a good time.

Nikkita Bell is back at it with her rebellious, morally black demons who want nothing more than to enjoy their existence here on earth, no matter who they have to take down to get it. And I enjoyed every moment of their debauchery.

Reagan Valentine is a new favorite FMC and one whose determination, resilience, and compassion (from a demon?!?!) is admirable. But doesn't she do what she must to survive? I know, I know, but she's more than what she appears to be. Just like any well-developed main character should be. And although Reagan is determined to do whatever she must to achieve her dreams and desires, Nikkita weaves a plot that forces Reagan to examine who she truly is at her core.

To Hell with Bad Decisions supporting cast of characters is just as intriguing and alluring as they were in The Bombshell Devil's Advocate, and I'm already anxious for the third book in the series. If you're looking for something different than your typical dark romance, I HIGHLY recommend To Hell with Bad Decisions (after you enjoy the ride that is The Bombshell Devil's Advocate).

This book truly brings you into the world that The Bombshell Devil’s Advocate hinted at. You will fall in love with all these characters and willingly accept both their good qualities and their bad ones. Reagan, Jimothy, the girls at Bad Decisions and a deeper look into some of the Primes means you’re in for a rollercoaster of emotions and bad decisions.
