Hell-Scape: Pacts of the Infernal Book 2

Pacts of the Infernal #2

by B.E. Francis

Renata has returned. Her memories of her lover, Nephele, her village, and her family remain intact — yet Nainaur still hides the truth of her contract, and the time she once shared with King Azur Pelegros.

Back in the service of the Lord Protector as an assassin of the Fae realm, Renata finds peace elusive. The Great Fae War has ended, but dark rumors stir — whispers that the conflict may ignite once more.

As Renata struggles to uncover who she truly is, Azur remains imprisoned in the Hells. He will do anything — destroy anyone — to break free, return to her side, and take vengeance on his brother.

.......help

Idk how she managed to create a bigger cliffhanger than in book 1, but here we are. The vibes continue to be immaculate and I continue to be obsessed.

4.75 stars: just what I needed after reading Hell-bound!

In Hell-scape we get to see Ren discover and accept who she is, and we get to see Azur doing something similar. I loved seeing more glimpses of their connection!

We got a lot of action, which I loved, it was just the right pace!

This book was very satisfying, until the end, where I sobbed my heart out! I’m hoping that the third book will soothe some of the less enjoyable plots and I can’t wait to see what awaits Ren!

After the "jump out of my seat" ending of book one, Hell-Scape was at the top of my must-read list, and it definitely delivered. Watching Renata return with (some of) her memories intact while still being kept in the dark about critical truths had me frustrated on her behalf. She remains sharp, resilient, and compelling, even as she’s pulled back into a role she never truly chose within the Fae realm. Her internal struggle, between who she was, who she’s been shaped into, and who she wants to be, adds depth to her journey.

Azur’s chapters in the Hells were a highlight for me. His pain, rage, and unwavering devotion to Renata make me swoon, and his “burn it all down” energy is immaculate. The angst in this book is heavy, and incredibly effective, especially with the separation between them. The spice is also amped up in this installment, intensifying their connection and making every interaction feel charged with emotion and desperation rather than just heat.

The political intrigue and looming threat of another war keep the tension high, and the worldbuilding continues to grow darker and more complex. I still love Renata and Azur both individually and together, and that ending had me in tears. Hell-Scape raises the stakes and leaves me fully invested, slightly unwell, and desperate for the next book.

Es como un sube y baja y no sabes qué pasará en la siguiente página.

Hi friends! I’m so happy you’re here and taking the time to read and rate my book. It truly means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you for continuing Renata’s journey with me. It’s been such an honor to tell her story, and knowing you’re bringing it to life on the page makes it even more special.

XOXO
