While trying to fix what Shax's has broken with my Kingdom, I'm thrown into a maelstrom of events that not only lead me to the box I was seeking but a whole lot more. I realize that there are things about my brother that I never even knew and that I don't think I can accept.
I fall into my relationships with the very different men that I've chosen to be with me, even as someone else catches my eye, which one of my men in particular is not all that happy about. My circle is exciting, adventurous and sometimes dangerous, but that only feeds my dark desires. They are there for me at every turn, especially when it becomes very clear what I have to do. I have to threaten the other side to get my brother back from their clutches, but at what cost?

Pandora's Box has well surpassed Hell's Belle in my opinion, and is even a few notches above the Bound series, especially with the kinkiness in this one. This book contained a lot of steamy scenes and I'm betting a lot of readers found sections of it to be a bit over the top, but in a good way. I'm sure many read scenes that they never thought would be hot and exciting, but loved every single second of it, no matter how appalling or unappealing they might be in real life. Hey, no kink shaming! But what I really loved about each of these scenes with Annabelle and one of her lovers was that there was always this connection. And believe it or not, Annabelle doesn't always just take. She surprised me in this book as being a character much more passionate than you would think could happen when she's the ruler of Hell. Her character development was phenomenal and we got to see a whole other side to her. Yes, she can be hard, intense, and demanding, but at the same time, she can be compassionate, caring, and loving even. The give and take between her and her group isn't just one sided. They each provide her with something she needs whether it be physical or emotional, and in return she does the same. So many times in this book so she proves to be so much more than a hard-hearted ruler. She is learning to open up, be vulnerable, and let others in. It's funny because her parents went through this same mental battle with themselves and the possibility of a demon being capable of love. They say the apple doesn't fall from the tree, and in this case, they are spot on. Besides all of the incredible sexy times that Eve Newton is well known for, the story was also amazing. It continued on from the previous book and didn't putter to a stop or slow down. With everything else going on with the group, never once did the storyline stray off or become less important. It was a nice balance between everything and kept me reading until the very last page. This is a crazily amazing book with surprises and plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. It's definitely one of my favorites that I've read so far this year and will be a series that I continuously come back to.
Holy smokes was this a burning hot read!! I could not get enough of this and there were quite a few twists in it that I definitely did not see coming!
Annabelle is back again and I felt in this book there was a lot of growth from her, she is still a strong, take charge character. However, we get to see a new side of her in this book that she seems to still try to fight a little bit. I loved the connections growing between her and her men and I cannot decide who is my favorite!! Plus there is plenty of hot sexy time in this book that you need multiple cold showers to handle!
While Anna struggle with emotions and still the ongoing search for her father, you also get to see more of Shax's struggles and some growth from him as well. We are left with yet another killer ending and my heart is breaking for Anna and her men. I will continue to wait to see what is going to come next but you will definitely want to grab this book because the plot was incredible and had me on the edge of my seat all throughout!
These are the first words that come to mind when thinking about this book! The female lead is strong, dark and has a lot of depth. I thouroghly enjoyed the fact that Bella's harem is heat and heart and no judgement. This books further develops each of her men giving them more heart and depth. I love that the author does chapters from different perspectives without making anything drag on. The book is fast paced with action and smutt and alot of it. What a ride! Can't wait for the next one!
Wow this book was off the charts!! Loved it!!! This is book and I highly recommend reading this series!!! I love the main character Annabelle. When you read this story you will know why she is amazing. Eve Newton is one of my favorite authors and all her books are just so good. Steam is hot hot hot!!!! Storyline you will love. I am so looking forward to the next story. By far a favorite series of mine. Highly recommend!!!!
Loved this book, couldn't put it down. Warning don't read it at work, extremely hot. Annabelle is a captivating and steamy character, so much fun to read about. Well writen, entertaining and enjoyable.
Her harem members are very different but each bring something that she needs. Without giving anything away this was a fantastic story and a terrific continuation from the first book.
Pandora’s box continues on from Hell’s Belle perfectly and had me hooked immediately. Eve Newton’s is one of my favourite authors who always steps up her game and each book is better then the last and this is no exception. This book really steps up the heat while keeping the plot and characters flowing naturally. I couldn’t put this book down so I am currently running on caffeine and a lack of sleep. I am waiting (un)patiently for book 3!
Wow this series continues to surprise me in a good way! It continues from the last book and I love how much they've grown even willing to share just to be able to have her! It's full of so many surprises, adventures and twists that I just couldn't put it down! And that cliffy ughh perfect, can't wait for book 3!!
I absolutely could not put this book down! It was amazing. The characters and world building continue from the first book into this and just rocks with where it went! Some steamy and adventure. Tons of action. I love it
All of Eve Newton’s books are so hot and this one doesn’t disappoint. But it’s not just a sexy book with no plot. Not She writes amazing story lines and creates interesting worlds and characters on top of if being sexy. This book was amazing so much action and character development and curve balls. I can’t wait until book 3
Wow. Annabelle and her men are at it again. As they are trying to figure out what her brother Shax has done with hell and find the box. We have some one new adding to our circle. This book is filled with a good time. I can't wait for more.
Wow what can I say this was a serious dirty deliciously hot steamy second book and I couldn’t put the book down loved it. I absolutely love the characters and in this book they have grown and are all willing to share Annabella in order to be with her. SIDS character has started to become a bit more confident and starting to release she does love him I want to give him a hug. Eve Newton what can I say but you have done an amazing job with Pandora’s box you are hooked right from the start and what a ride it was I absolutely loved it and the Hell is going to happen next as I need to know.
Pandora’s Box is the intoxicating, seductive and enticing second instalment dedicated to Annabelle, the Queen of Hell. This tale sees Annabelle continuing her quest to dominate hell and get what she desires, weaving her way through troubling, unprecedented times, satisfying her needs in more ways than one and containing her ever-growing conscience. With her brother, Shax out of the picture but her men by her side, she must be ready to take on anything even if things aren’t as she expects them to be. Faced with the largest shocks and surprises that Hell has ever seen, Belle must learn what is easy isn’t always right and that sometimes, sacrifices need to be made to fight for what is needed. When forces beyond Belle’s wildest dreams threaten the life she’s destined to live, Belle must must make the ultimate decision, battling her heart as she does.
As previously stated, this is the second instalment to this series and once again, this hit every single nail on the head. The plot is thrilling. There’s so many twists and turns that leave you guessing all the way to the final page. It is the perfect continuation of the first instalment. The plot is the perfect blend of suspense, surprise and tension weaved with humour, seduction and sensuality. This book really is too filthy for work. Eve really steps it up a notch to reveal hoe imaginative, invigorating and inventive she is as a writer. It’s amazing to read.
As for the characters, Each personality continues to develop beautifully. Hardened Annabelle grows to have a heart that lets people in, a sense of compassion and the capability to feel emotions she never thought possible. The troubled conscience of Shax, who has previously battled love and loyalty with a sense of self, really finds his feet and his sense of belonging in this story. Making the most difficult of choices, Shax learns that nothing good comes easy but sometimes the harder option is the best you can take. With every character, you empathise, you relate. You fully invest in them because you see yourself in their qualities. Each unique but equally as intriguing. Belle’s men. Belle’s beautifully complex men. All unique in their personas, roles and qualities have again been written so well that each bring their own qualities to the harem and are so different that they each speak for themselves within the narrative. No man overpowers the other. Once again, they are distinguished by their differences but ultimately, it is these differences that bound them to one another. the strong sense of self within the narrative for each character is a credit to the authors natural creative ability.
Whilst the plot is beautifully intricate, there is a lot to be said for the many, many too filthy for work sense scenes that we were delighted with in this book. Sensual, sexy and steamy, each scene was doused with passion, lust and intensity. What I loved most though is that every man had their own personal experiences with Belle, their own communication and their private moment. It did leave me feeling a bit hot under the collar, I must admit.
All in all, Pandora’s Box has solidified the fact that this is one of my all time favourite series.
Well if you made it past chapter 14 you definitely aren't a prude and are either slightly scared, turned on or if you're lucky both and we can be friends.. this has got to be the hottest filth I have read and no ice bath will fix the heat burning off the pages you will read.. if you want a deep dark penetrating read well step right up.. ding ding ding this right here is a winner and have water and snacks handy! you will devour this in one sitting and call in sick the next day just to recover! Pandora's box is wide open.. split in two pun intended and what a gloriously bloody mess it made.. Book 2 is epicly filthy in all the wrong ways but oh so right.. so as you fall further down the rabbit hole we delve into more of Shax's story and his character development.. along with all of the males of this story the development is at times shocking but pulls you further in.. annabelle is still on a mission and claiming the hottest of hot not just men.. Xavi you little minx causing real world problem's. Eve this was a spectacularly dark i loved it.. There was a balance of storyline building, cahracter development and just sinfully delish scenes created in my mind.. the hardest thing was writing this review and making it pg cause I had so much more that needing saying lady! Whoosh time to put me in time out and cool off..
Annabelle is not only raising temperatures in hell....but she also seems to be the only royal who has been reigning while hell also is freezing over.
Yes, it really is snowing in hell, and as demons are trying to threaten her reign, Belle has more pressing matters on her mind, like the near death of her lovers, the addition of more in the harem, a box her twin ran off with, that Belle is determined to get back into her possession.
When does a Queen get to enjoy her many lovers...yum! Belle does indeed get her bell rung....many, many times! I just have to say...Eve Newton took everything we love about her books and flipped the heat up by 200%.
If you enjoy a fantastic storyline, a FMC who lets her freak flag fly, and a truly loving and dynamic harem, then you NEED this series! One click this now and make sure you have a very cold drink on hand and some fantastic chocolate....you’ll thank me later!
A great story chock full of kick*** characters as well as being down right dirty and filthy!! Still you know what i cant say that i care too much when this series is this flaming good. It adds to it. I just love Annabelle aka Belle (FMC) so much. Shes a brilliant character. Strong-willed, witty with loads of sarcasm. Im not sure i was suppose to laugh at the part where Belle and Killian mark each other (i wont tell you where Belle gets hers, lol) but it did make me crack up. All the guys are great too though and with seven men theres plenty to read about with them. Hoping we get more Sid in book 3? I feel we didnt get a lot of book time with him especially with his relationship with Belle. Surprisingly new character Xavier is a pretty great character too. Still im just loving this series so much! Im dying for book 3 now
This book eclipses the previous one. Its downright deliciously dirty and even filthy in places and I absolutely loved it. It's not gratuitous sexy times but it falls right with the characters and the storyline. The characters grow in their personalities and cement their relationships with the fmc while also growing their own relationships within the harem. The story and their journey flows like magic and I genuinely did not put this book down, but as soon as I finished it - I went back for more. I can guarantee that this book is never ever leaving my kindle, it is mine, I've licked it and I'm never giving it back.
Soo hot I needed a mop and bucket After reading this I could do a realistic impression of Niagara falls! .
This book has a lot more sex scenes than most books, but it is how Annabelle shows her feelings. It doesn’t detract from the story or feel separate, as it is a key part of who she is.
I think what I loved most though is her vulnerability at the end. She is still so young and it’s really clear in the final chapter. I am rooting for her so hard and I think the decision I would want her to make would be to decide that now isn’t the right time for her. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens though and how her family will support her in the next stage of her life.
It’s pretty obvious that upstairs haven’t finished meddling though...eek!
Wow what a story. Belle is just a kick ass female lead and her mean are just awesome!!! I can’t wait for the next book to see where it all leads. I don’t believe that final battle was truly the end. Lucifer has been around forever, I don’t see him being beat that easy. Liviathon totally got what she deserved! Hopefully Belle comes to terms with her little bundle. That was definitely a twist and how she never saw the connection between her and war stuns me. Great twist there. But that ending killed me. I feel her men’s pain not knowing what she meant. I’m gonna take a leap and believe killian will come clean at the beginning of the next book with what he knows from the info Devlin told him from the Codex to the other men. Wonder how they’ll take it?
The saying it will be a cold day in hell is literally happening and Anabelle has to figure out what is going on, while navigating several men and finding her dad.
I love the FMC Anabelle she is unapologetically herself and doesn't take any crap from anyone though she may have issues expressing her feelings...but she's the demon Queen what do you expect. The harem expands in this book and Anabelle and her men start to get closer, there also seems to be some more relationships coming down the pipe 😍.
Let's talk about the heat level...whew🤤 this book is a 5 alarm fire. Annabelle and her men go at it and push their bodies till the limit and it is fantastic. Keep it coming
Eve has created these amazing worlds filled with amazing characters who are true to themselves. This book lives up to those standards. It is action packed but let me just say dirty!!! It picks up right where the last book left off and let just say Annabelle is just as sassy and powerful as ever, I guess you have to be when you’re in charge of hell. We see more characters we already have met and some that are new to her not so little harem. This book definitely has so crazy twists and turns and that ending! I can’t wait to see what happens next.
This book was definitely wild ride! She does a really great job of explaining processes and how things work for the magic in a way that makes it plausible. The heat is extra hot . If you liked the heat of the first book, this one tops that three times over at least. I am enjoying the new character Xavier, and while I was a little confused about the ending, I am sure it will make all the sense once I dig into book 3! Hoping for more Sid in book 3, and finding out if the fire cube situation worked as expected.
🚨Warning🚨 This review may contain some spoilers so proceed at your own risk ... ... I had the story stuck in my head for days. All.The.Time. So i know that it was a an awesome read. At the start of this book i was wondering if Annabelle will be able to bring back her father and keep her place as the ruler of Hell by defeating Lucifer? Did she succeed? You'll find out in this book and be ready, it's Hot as Hell!! Some explicits sex scenes which some may find disturbing but hey, it's fiction and they're demons from Hell anything goes!!
Will there be an add up in her circle in the next books like a certain Dark Cupid? I can't wait to find out what will happens next.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This was freaking amazing I loved the first book and this one was no different. So I tried to read this book while I was on my break, word to the wise don't this is not a book you can read in public it is down right filthy but in the best way possible! This is a book where you make sure your kids aren't around hell even your husband and make sure you have no interruptions cause when you do read this your not going to want to stop. Pandora's mates her family will always make this one of my favorite series by Eve. Definitely five stars from me!!!
Oh where do I begin? Honestly I was in love with book 1 but Pandoras box blew me away. Its an emotional roller coaster that really makes you feel like you know the characters intimately it is also hotter than hell! So is perfect for anyone looking for a steamy read where you will laugh and cry with the characters in this world just a warning it is impossible to put down so make sure you are relaxed at home before you pick it up.
Pandora's Box was an excellent continuation from book 1, Hell's Belle. There is more development in the harem and storyline that you can't help but love. The characters come across as raw and real. I will say that there were a couple moments that were outside of my comfort zone, but I just reminded myself that these are creatures from Hell and can't be judged by my bland, human standards. Lol. I was unable to put this book down and am anticipating book 3.
Holy Hell let’s talk about hot!!!! This book will make you need to take so many cold showers you will freeze! The heat and chemistry from Anna and her men heats up even more in this edition. Things get emotional as she searches for her father and we learn more about Shax. And as always in the wonderful way that Eve Newton lives to torture us the ending leaves us shouting for more! I can’t wait to read the next one!
I have no idea where this is headed but I am kind of concerned how quick we went from 1-9000 love interests? in literal DAYS? I mean okay, you got me. I'm still reading this damn thing.
also -
never mind. I'm still going. but I like shax, I'll keep him.
Eve Newton amazes me again with Pandora’s box!! It kept me on edge the whole way through. Incredibly hard to put it down. Just gave me that feeling of “I’ve got to know what happens next”! Belle is back for more sexy times and a few crisis to work through. I love all of her men and the way they have a grown together over this book!
