Hell's Embrace: The Face of True Evil Never Looked So Good
The beautiful demon princess Laustra has waited more than 300 years to lead the armies of hell against mankind. Sadistic, calculating, and insanely powerful, her dream of finally seeing civilization fall is almost at hand. But all is not lost. Through the darkness, one solitary light has finally emerged. Kim Makibi, a woman chosen by God and endowed with the power of the angels has been called upon to assume the role of humanity's champion and save the world from Hell's evil embrace. As the eternal battle between good and evil erupts on Earth once again, the fate of mankind will not be decided by the hands of men. And Laustra, her allies, and humankind will see that when it comes to saving the world, you never send a man to do a woman's job...

This was the second book I read of Marc McGowen. It's the first in the series.
I enjoyed the story. The main FMC is a feisty older female who is full of spunk. The pacing is a slow burn for most of the book. The closing did have me on the edge of my seat. The characters are believable. I liked the interaction between them, especially the good guys.
I look forward to reading more from this author. With this book i received several character cards that were really well drawn.
This book series would make a good limited series.

Update: Hell’s Embrace is 1 book in a series of interconnected standalones. I didn’t know that going in, but that makes more sense.
Overall I liked the story. The beginning hooks you and the ending is epic, but you do have to push through the middle a bit because the pace slows down. I was frustrated however that we were left with so many questions about Kim’s husband. I didn’t feel like the mystery surrounding his death served a purpose and it muddied the plot. If there’s a sequel that I just don’t know about where these questions get answered, I’m happy to update my review.
