After ridding the swamp of a serial-killing demon, badass Sere Mal-Laurette has moved to New Orleans to put some distance between the interdimensional beacon of her soul and the hellmouth. Hell, however, has other plans for her when a new horde of beasts is unleashed.
Sere will have to knock the rust off her fighting skills if she hopes to save herself and humanity from a fate worse than death. But she soon learns she can't do it alone, and she's going to need more than the help of a bartending former Navy SEAL who makes her weak in the knees. The bikers and gator hunters she's been using for sport during her bar brawls are going to take some serious convincing to join her cause--even if they are the ones most at risk.
By relying on those closest to her to repair her doppelgänger body, hunt down the demons that are out to get her, and protect her soul from the loas of the dead, Sere just might learn something about what it means to be human.

This is a great addition to the Devil’s Daughter series.The author quickly drew me in to this fast-paced story and left me wanting more. The story is intriguing, and the characters complex and interesting. I look forward to reading what happens next.
And so my addiction of Sere continues in Hell Bent for Demons! This second entry to the series is just as good as the first with all sorts of creative characters, exciting adventures and of course Sere!
Sere has moved to New Orleans distancing herself from the hellmouth. Of course, the harder she tries to get away, the more things have a way of pulling her back. In this case, it’s a bunch new demons that have escaped. This time around, she is going to need help, and well, Sere may find herself in a pickle convincing others. She needs to hurry because there are quite a few more this time around and oh boy, does this batch fight dirty!
ACK! Action packed and fast paced, I just can’t get enough of this series. Sere is in a bit of trouble this time around and asking for help, not really her forte. However, her usual reliable Lefty and his *ahem* friends are there to *ahem* help. Oh the temptations to the hunters they made. LOL!!!! She gets quite a bit of help from Bart, which, OhMeGee things are getting interesting between them…I WISH! He makes her weak in the knees and the situations they find themselves into are so comically. I’m sure once they finally (Hopefully sooner rather than later) that itch gets scratched it’s going to be int-er-est-ing!
All this fun and giggles leads up to what the demons are after… Jennifer. EKES! The race is on to save her Real, stop the demons, and along the way discover what it’s like to be human. FYI…that last part, I didn’t get right away. It took a while for me to figure out, to understand, I’m still fuzzy/hazy about it all, which is making me realize I think I may have missed out on something by not reading Mr. Chase’s other series, Malveaux Curse Mysteries. No matter, I’m loving The Devil's Daughter Series and can’t wait to find out what happens next!
I love it when the second book in a series lives up to the first, which is exactly how Hell Bent for Demons stacked up to Hell in a Head Gasket. In some ways, I liked the sequel even more.
Sere doesn’t “play” well with others, so when she realizes she needs help, she has no idea how to go about asking. It doesn’t help that she’s made quite an impression on most of those people – and definitely not the positive kind.
Sere does have allies though – some very good ones. She hesitates to allow most of them to help though because she wants to keep them safe. A trait in a bad-a** heroine that always wins me over. Another thing I like about some of my favorite bad-a** characters is their tendency to have interesting side-kicks. Lefty and Sere’s constant saddlebag companions definitely fall into that category. 😉
I liked the interesting twists and turns in Hell Bent for Demons, especially when they caught Sere off guard. I really like getting to know Sere’s “family” better. She’s still not sure what to make of Bart, but I love the tension and playful banter between them. There are also a few other characters that Sere’s getting closer to. I’m guessing that things are about to get even more interesting as the series continues and I personally can’t wait. 😉
I received Hell Bent for Demons in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This book was even better than the first one. Sere is evolving because before she was someone who never really wanted to interact with people, but circumstances have made it to where she must, and she is coming around to trusting people and maybe starting to care for people. There were a couple of interesting developments in this book, ones I’m really looking forward to finding out about in the next book or two. If you read the previous book or series, you will enjoy this one. I do have to say, if you haven’t read the previous series, I really recommend you do so you have more of an idea of what is going on as there are a couple complex storylines. Highly recommend! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.
Sere decided to move to New Orleans in hopes that putting distance between herself and the hellmouth would stop her soul from being a beacon to demons. What she found, however, is that you don’t always get what you wish for. To protect herself and humanity she has to reach out to others to help her fight the demons that are coming for everyone.
Book 2 in The Devil’s Daughter series saw Sere continuing to hide from the loas of the dead while trying to find a way to help Monty Fisher separate from the demon whose energy melded with his own soul. The story is a unique one that hasn’t been overdone in this genre and holds your interest as you read. My only criticism is that I would have liked just a tad more romance thrown in for good measure.
After everything that went down in book 1 Sere has now moved and settled down New Orleans where she thinks she is far enough away and will be able to live a relatively quiet life but of thats never the way. This a little bit of a slow burn to begin with but then pop, pop, pop pop now she has not one but many doppelgangers she is going to have to fight and she can't do it alone. It was great how she has people she is learning to trust and maybe be friends help her along with frenimies and others who want to help her as well as maybe get close to her?! Bring on book 3 as I can't wait to see what happens in it after some of things we get to see here!
The Daughter of the Devil kicks butt to rid our world omg Demons Escaped from Hell! This book, and the one before it in the series, are difficult to explain succinctly. It’s a totally different world, and the plot continues to thicken from Book 1 to Book 2. Though I cannot explain it, I can tell you I love it! Sere puts forth Herculean efforts to slay the demons, and the people who aid her are vivid. I fall just short of booing the baddies aloud! G. a. chase has created another fantastic story for the Daughter of the Devil!
Wow! Sere is a true badass. I can't wait to see how she and Bart work together in the future and if she and Bart will ever get together. So many people protecting her without her knowledge, and she can't wrap her head around the help she doesn't realize she needs. I look forward to seeing her grow as a person and her relationships grow. I would like to see Sanguine back in once in a while though.
I don't know how it is possible to keep getting better and better, but these books do! Sere is fantastic, she has her own story that we are finding out a little at a time, but we still get out old loved characters from the original series. There is tons of laughs and sarcasm along with some seriousness of course as we wonder what is coming at them next. Great Great Book!!!
I thought the first book was good, and I think I may have liked this one even more! Sere definitely has an interesting life, and there aren't many dull moments for her. She has to face even more demons in this part of her story, and she has to learn to ask for help. A truly well written tale that had me reading until the end.
I enjoyed reading this book 📚, I think it was even better than the previous book. It was filled with action and intrigue. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
awsome book it is a great continuation of from where the first book started, combined with some great character development and evolution between characters and character relationships.
Hell Bent for Demons was a highly entertaining, fast-paced wild ride, with loads of supernatural action a great storyline with awesome twists and turns plus fantastic characters I just love.
What a book. Sere never wanted to interact, but now she’s evolving. An amazing fast paced book in the fantasy world to keep you intrigued. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.
Blurb: After ridding the swamp of a serial-killing demon, badass Sere Mal-Laurette has moved to New Orleans to put some distance between the interdimensional beacon of her soul and the hellmouth. Hell, however, has other plans for her when a new horde of beasts is unleashed.
Sere will have to knock the rust off her fighting skills if she hopes to save herself and humanity from a fate worse than death. But she soon learns she can't do it alone, and she's going to need more than the help of a bartending former Navy SEAL who makes her weak in the knees. The bikers and gator hunters she's been using for sport during her bar brawls are going to take some serious convincing to join her cause--even if they are the ones most at risk.
By relying on those closest to her to repair her doppelgänger body, hunt down the demons that are out to get her, and protect her soul from the loas of the dead, Sere just might learn something about what it means to be human.
