Purgatory Prep Academy #2.5
Scorned by Hell
I'll burn them all. Hell be Damned.
I know what you're thinking. All signs point to me being the bad guy, but I'm not.
Sure I've done some questionable deeds over my life, but nothing like the rumors you've heard.
Now it's time you hear the truth. My truth. I'll warn you though. It's not all sunshine and daisies.
Once upon a time, I had the loves of my life, my own men that worshipped me
like the Queen that I am. Until one day I was stabbed in the back from
a past that just won't die.
Hell thought they knew me. Thought they knew what I was made of.
Hell hath no fury like a Queen Scorned or at least that's what they say...they haven't seen anything yet.
This is a prequel that fits between books 2 and 3 of the Purgatory Prep series if you want the full effect. You'll find demons, other magical beings, and sexual situations. This is a darker read and recommended for 18+
Trigger Warning: This book contains torture and a traumatic birth story (but no child death).

As an avid reader to escape the drama the world throws at us, she finally got the bug to write a story she would love to read herself.

Great Book! Wonderful Read!
I love how Kerry writes her characters! They can be a riot, but the things they go through together is nothing short of serious. I get caught up in their stories and picture myself in their place. They are all unique and that is what I like so much.
Scorned by Hell was amazing as it takes you through Lilith’s life, before she turned into such a hateful character. Her background story is one to get lost in. It allows you to see why she turned out so hard.
The Purgatory Prep Academy Series continues to make me laugh and cry and I can’t wait to read the next book!

The first two books in the Purgatory Prep series were awesome, however, there was one character who seemed important but readers had no information on. That character was Lilith, the Lilith, the first demon, well Scorned by Hell is all about Lilith. The third book in the series was genius, tying so many things together while still having me guessing about what the heck is going on.
Things didn't really make sense in the first two books when it came to Lilith. There were these pieces that didn't quite fit and left a lot of questions. While SbH fills in those blanks, I still have a lot of questions (especially after that ending) but some of my previous questions have been answered.
I loved getting to see Lilith and the past events that leads to the chaos of the present. I'm not gonna lie, Lily's guys (except for Carl, the doc gets a pass) had angered me in the previous books for their treatment of Rez, and truth be told I was angry in this one on Lily's behalf. It was hard to connect with them and frankly a little weird. I'm not the type to date a guy and his daddy too, cause you gotta remember these are Rez's guys' dads, but that didn't impact the story too badly, I still enjoy the story very much.
Scorned by Hell has revealed a whole slew of new information. There were important characters that got unveiled, a freaking prophecy is revealed, and enemies are everywhere. Lilith's and Rez's storylines seem to be parallel and connected in more ways than one and that has me asking a lot of questions. I can't wait for the next book, Road to Salvation.

Oh my Lilith.
This is the version of the story that I have longed for!
Lilith in all her demonic glory.
However if you are looking for just a bloodbath and smut you will be disappointed, this book was packed full of so much emotion that I had whiplash.
From breaking hearts to breaking bones this book was an array of everything that I love.
Mates, Smut, Heartache, Revenge, Suspense, Twists and shocking reveals.
I adored getting to see more of Lilith and understanding her a bit better. My heart hurt for her and the betrayal that she had to endure.
Although I'm not mad about LAMB.. uhh yes please, more LAMB for me!
I also enjoyed seeing a different side to the father's we have had glimpses of throughout the Purgatory Prep series and having some light she's upon them.
As always with Kerry Keller's work I cannot wait for the next book!!!

Wow I wasn't expecting that
Now it's definitely the mark of a great author who can turn a disposed character into someone you can suddenly root for and feel so sorry for.
Don't want to post any spoilers but this book is a prequel in a sense to the purgatory prep books and details the boys births and how they came to be. I'm still not sure how I feel about all their dads but I'm now firmly Team Lilith.
I love it when a book gives you something you didn't know you needed and here that's L.A.M.B oh my days what a bunch of hotties I need more of them in my life and the way purgatory prep 2 ended I know I'm going to get it.
Kerry Keller has made a really interesting fantasy story with so much detail and interweaving threads that I'm left constantly thinking and wondering how everything links together.
Can't wait for PP 3

I love this universe! It is so awesome to read these new POVs and get a new perspective on this intricate story.
Keller’s style is laid back and immersive; I feel like I am seeing what her characters see, feeling what they feel, and I love every minute of it. She is amazing at developing complex characters and a lot of them! She’s a master at creating a plethora of diverse characters with unique identities and backgrounds.
Cannot to keep reading about this world!

Hella Amazing 5 ⭐️ Read
Ok sooooo holy toledo that was so good. This whole book felt like the best Uno Reverse ever. Whatever I thought I knew about a certain person was obliterated. Such a great book. I loved getting to know the backstory to Lilith and the boys’ dads. And Miss Keller threw yet another plot twist at the end that left me 😳. I devoured this book. Kerry Keller has really kept me on my toes with this series and I love it!!
5/5 ⭐️

Fantastic
Kerry Keller has done it once again! This book was amazing. I loved reading Lilith's backstory with the guys dads. Something s from the first too books are explained but we are left with some that need to be answered. Kerry Keller's characters are wonderfully written. I love her writing style and that there is humor woven in I love the multiple POV' s. I can't wait for the next book

You mean Lilith is likable?
I went into this book skeptical since the FMC was not someone I particularly liked, and I was proven wrong! We follow Lilith after a literal back-stabbing as she regains her harem of men. This was a quick read and I enjoyed bouncing into different POVs.
Note to those who are sensitive to this topic, her men do have relationships with other women when they aren't together, but I think it resolved nicely.

DNF.
This series was hard enough to get through due to the choppy writing, overused phrases, and annoying Jr High vibes. Add in the ridiculous cursing of all religious figures (from Buddhism to Christianity) and a crude take on Adam & Eve, and it was no longer worth reading.
The idea was solid, the men were all yummy, and it was a debut. Of course I tried my hardest to love it. But it fell flat enough times that I'm going to have to pass on reading further.

A great addition to the Purgatory Prep world.
You will need to have read the first 2 books for this to make sense.
If you wondered why Lilith was a bit of b*#ch, Scorned by Hell will give you a look into how Lilith became the demon she is, as well as more about Rez'z guys fathers. Was great to get more insight Lilith's thinking & knowing this information for the series.

This was a great read giving us Lilith’s story. This book also gives some answers and leaves us with more questions that will leave us waiting patiently for book three in this series.
This was an amazing read and if you are a fan of supernatural characters such as demons, vampires and shifters then you should check out this series!

I’ve read a lot of books that involve Lilith and Adam and demons but none like this one! This was a great new take on that world. So many twists and turns. It’s hard to say much without giving away any of the details. Don’t think you’ve got anything figured out at any point; things will change. I really liked this. Great book.
July 3, 2022
This is Lilith's origin story and I am loving it! This help fill in some blank/answer some questions from the main series. The way that this is written it is so easy to empathize with Lilith. I loved the multi-POV and the dynamics it gave to the story. Incredible backstory for Lilith and the guys' fathers!
July 8, 2022
Now this book continues a fantastic story already. Lilith is even someone you may like after reading this story. We get a lot of Lilith backstory and she fights for her harem of men. I enjoy the several POVs we get in this book and now I am awaiting the next book. I love what Kelly has done here and can't tell you enough to give this series a chance for sure!
June 27, 2022
The full on plot twist of an ending left me shook! I loved Lilith‘d story with my whole being. This story needed to be told and it filled in some answers while leaving me guessing what is still to come. Can’t wait to read the next installment of this amazing series!
July 2, 2022
I’m so glad we got Lilith story it really helps know what the heck went down. Carl is a freaking jerk I didn’t like how he treated other in the main series and I really didn’t like how he was in this book . I totally can’t wait for book 3 now !!!!!

Lilith's background story was fantastic. Kerry Keller really hit the ball out of the park.. and filled in some missing blanks.. when she put this story together. Now I'm really on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book.. I cannot wait to find out what happens!

I loved Liliths background story
I have to say Lilith was not my favorite character. This story took some very interesting twists. I loved learning more about her mates and how the boys came to be unique.

I loved the story! I hadn’t Made up my mind if I liked Lilith or not, but after Reading her story, she is much more likeable. I loved reading about her backstory and her harem of men! It was a great story
July 8, 2022
Once again Kerry did it again this book is a hit. We follow Lilith and get her story of her guys it ties everything together. I got caught up in this with all the twist and turns and the back stories I could not put this down. And the cliffhanger. Oh my.
June 29, 2022
Kerry the I'm a diabolical genius at the plot twist Keller, has left me gasping at the conclusion of Scorned by Hell! A curse word or two may have been uttered by me too, leaving me wanting, no, needing book three.
Purgatory Prep Academy is a complex and diverse world as it is, but when you add in the multi faceted characters, it becomes rich. When I read Lilith's story, I wasn't prepared for how I could feel for Lilith. In the first two books of the series I hated her, assuming she was behind the events at the Academy. Ha! I'm sure Kerry yelled plot twist when she came up with this book. Kerry commanded my attention and robbed me of my sleep so I could find out what happens next!
I truly loved this book. Kerry is one author I won't bother reading the blurb, I'm just going to dive in and follow her beyond the gates of Hell!

Another fantastic book in the series. It makes you change your mind on how you feel about a certain character. Really enjoyed it & can’t wait for the next one

Scorned by hell follows Lillian's story it isn't a huge book but it gives you the insight into liliths life before purgatory prep. I loved liliths character and all her men

Didn't want to hear about lilith
I skimmed 90% of this book due the factit was all about lilith, I don't care about her men, they are just the fathers of the main people

I went into this will some pretty strong feelings about Lilith. This book was exactly what I needed to turn them around. I absolutely loved getting the backstory of how Lilith became a mom to the guys and their dads relationship with Lilith.
I love how she transitioned so well into the roll of mom even though the situation was pretty crazy and not at all what I had expected to how the boys came about.
This was a perfect addition to the series, and I can’t wait to read the next book with my new outlook on Lilith.
