****First book in the series, Pandora's Box, is a MUST read or you will be terribly confused!!!!****

Hell’s become more than just a playground for the wicked…

Going to Hell was supposed to save Madison, but knowing she’s dead because of his failure leaves Nix with only one thing to live for. Revenge. With Micah’s help he learns to use his Messianic power. Anything for Mads has become his mantra, even if it means killing innocents to gather the power he needs to succeed. A tsunami he unleashes on a Gulf Coast city is stopped with magical interference, and Nix is more than surprised to feel Madison in the opposing magic. Can he and Micah set a trap to lure her out?

Pandora’s Box…once you open it, there’s no turning back!

Madison has done the unthinkable, opened Pandora’s Box to save Nix from Hell. And failed. She’s willing to risk her own life to rescue Nix, but she worries about the welfare of her accomplice in the mission and leaving her son behind. Following up on a lead, she’s ambushed by Nix and Micah. Shocked and hurt to discover Nix has become a willing participant of Hell, she’s more certain than ever she won’t escape the demonic fate her husband outlined for her. While in Hell, she discovers denying the emergence of her succubus is futile, which means getting Nix out of Hell after embracing her inner demon just became a very real dilemma…

MARY's Review:

Well, Gracen definitely knows how to keep a girl on the edge of her seat! Plus, she knows how to make a girl BLUSH!!

Best Part of the book:  Oh, Mads and Nix, you two are amazing!!! I can't put into words how the twist and turns throughout this book kept me on the edge of my seat.  I have never read a story like this.  Gracen Miller's imagination and talent is beyond measure!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! It's hard for me to go into too much detail because 1) I don't want to give anything away and 2) I might blush again!  Just know this ..... if you read book 1, YOU NEED TO READ BOOK 2!!!!!!!!!!!

Not so great about book: Curse you Gracen and your cliffhangers!!! GGGRRR *mean face* !!!! I am counting the days until book 3!!!

Goodreads description: 


Where does the road to Hell begin?

What happens when your son turns homicidal overnight and your husband disappears on his way to work? Do you cower in fear or fight for your life? Madison Wescott fights against the odds. Distrustful of a God she doesn’t believe in, she finds herself face-to-face with a world she didn’t know existed and discovers her own soul is darkened with demonic connections.

With good intentions? Or by demonic design?

Phoenix Birmingham bursts into Madison’s life in a whirlwind of sarcasm and sexual appeal. A hero for the masses—and for her jaded heart—but few will ever know the sacrifices he has made or the sacrifices to come. Discovering her entire life has been influenced by multifaceted paranormal beings, Madison is determined to defeat the apocalyptic blueprint fate has decreed, but only one man dares to challenge the supernatural forces manipulating them. Even with Phoenix’s aid, can destiny be denied? Or will demonic design prevail while they pay the crucial price with their souls?

In a small, sleepy Alabama town the battle for mankind’s liberty has begun...

MARY'S REVIEW:

What a ride?!?! Gracen Miller delivers an outstanding first book of the Road to Hell series.

Best part of the book:  I am going to say the best part of the book is the suspense of the story.  I was constantly wondering what was action-packed scene would be coming up next and how will it end? Madison has quickly grown into the role of STRONG FEMALE!  With each chapter she became stronger and more determined.  Then there is Nix!  Hello, hotness! Madison and Nix make a great team! (At least, I think so).  Of course I cannot forget Micah.  I have a love/hate relationship with him.  After reading this book, I am leaning towards hate right now.

Not so great about book:  I loved the action but there are a lot more characters in this book and I was trying to keep them all straight.  This is not Gracen's problem, its mine.  Sometimes I have issues with a lot of different characters and their back stories.

Even with that, I am diving into Book 2.

Goodreads description:


Fate can mark one early for a particular future.

Madison Wescott’s life is Hell on earth. Her father, a Baptist Preacher, convinces her she’s morally corrupt when men notice her blooming beauty. She strives to be unnoticeable, but nothing satisfies her condemning parents. 

And sometimes fate has nothing to do with one’s potential.

Temptation rears its head when Micah Dominus visits her father’s church on Christmas morning, but she is unprepared for her physical reaction to him. Frightened by her own emotions, she is grateful she’ll never see him again. But when he shows up again at a friend’s funeral, and at other times in her life, she’s swayed by his charisma. Micah becomes her white knight through the good and bad, but can they create the perfect life together? Or has she just located the beginning of the Road to Hell?

Supernatural forces more powerful than fate can claim one’s destiny…

MARY'S REVIEW:

I kept hearing about this book series from my three dear friends: Candace, Kathryn and Kelly.  They kept going on and on an on ..... OMG, you think they liked it or something!! *HAHA* So, I caved and read this book first because the girls told me it was prequel to the series.

Best part of the book: I learned a about Madison's life as a teenager and what a mess she lived in.  The part I enjoyed the most was the mystery of Micah!  There is something deeper going on but the prequel doesn't reveal all the details.  It is a quick story that shows the relationship between Micah and Madison and I LOVED IT!

Not so great about the book:  It was REALLY FAST!  Its about 130 pages or so and you get A LOT of information!!  I had to remember that this was a prequel and the series would be more in depth.

I would tell everyone to read this first!  Plus, I want to thank my girls for getting me hooked onto another series!!
