Soleil Burns is adjusting to being a single parent to the most powerful wizard the world has ever known. She’s in training to get her private investigator license to accompany her private exorcist license, and she’s now also a small business owner. Into the chaos of regular life comes an ancient artifact of incredible power. Soleil’s family tells her demon boxes haven’t been seen on earth for nearly ten thousand years. Soleil needs to find out how and why one has shown up in modern day St. Louis before someone gets killed by the hordes of demons and other spectral beings pouring forth from it. As more boxes appear around the city, Soleil’s exorcism business is booming, but she must discover who is sending them before the hell princes take over the city. Ensuring even her magic isn’t strong enough to send them back across the Stygian Divide. She will have to get help from her family and friends to help solve this mystery before it’s too late.
Hadena James began writing at the age of eight. As a teenager, she had several short stories published in literary magazines. She completed writing her first novel at the age of 17. Hadena graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in European History with minors in German and Russian studies. She has always wanted to be a writer so she also took several classes in creative writing.
Hadena’s primary literary genre is action/thriller. She currently writes two series, both use action/thriller. “The Brenna Strachan Series” uses fantasy and the “Dreams & Reality Series” uses murder mystery as its secondary genre. She continues to explore and expand her writing and hopes to soon produce a comedic action/thriller.
When she isn’t busy writing or running her business, Hadena enjoys playing in a steel-tip dart league. She also loves to travel throughout North America and Europe. Her favorite cities are Chicago, Illinois and Berlin, Germany. She is an avid reader, reading everything from the classics like Jane Austen to modern writers like Terry Pratchett. One of her all-time favorite books is “Good Omens” by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchett. She writes all of her books while listening to music and the bands tend to get “honorable mentions” within the pages.
As with all of Hadena James' books, this was extremely well written. I love the family dynamics. The Demon boxes are being sent out all over the place, who's behind this and will Soliel, Jerome and her family be able to stop it? You'll have to read this to find out.
I really like the book. The only reason it's a four-star instead of a 5 is that there were a few questions that were not answered in the book and I thought they should have been addressed. I thought it had a good plot, it moved along at a good pace and I didn't want to put it down.
I just hope there's more to come. It's probably my favorite Hadena James series and yes I read them all. What's not to like, angels, demons, witches, shifters, fairies, and so many more. All wrapped up in perfect snark and sarcasm.
