Hades by Alexandra Adornetto

 

Hades is the second book in the series by author Alexandra Adornetto

The title of the book Hades does give you a good idea that Hell is going to be the topic in this book. Though I was pleasantly surprised with the overall story.

Since battling the evil Jake Thorn and his minions in Halo ( first book in the series)  Beth and her angel siblings are  still protecting Venus Cove from the Dark Forces. 

Then there is Beth’s relationship with Xavier. The two have grown much closer since hell tried to break loose. So close in fact that they are really never apart. Which is starting to get on some of Beth’s friends nerves. So when the girls decide to hold  a girls only  séance – Despite Beth begging them not to- Beth feels it is her duty to take. But things go terrible wrong Turning what should have been a  night of fun into Beth’s worst nightmare When they inadvertently invite Jake back from the Underworld. Jakes eyes a clearly set on Beth and tricks Beth into taking a ride on his motorcycle.

Beth is in an angels worst nightmare hell. And Big Daddy ( Lucifer) knows she is there.

At times I even found myself feeling pity and sympathy for Jake. Even wondering if there was a little piece of pure angel left in him. However then he would always  turns back into the incredible jerk we all know him to be.

Bethany character gains such confidence and courage in Hades. Though at times she does remind me of a helpless lost child We also learn that she has more strength and possibly power then she has ever imagined.

In Hades we also meet a mix of new characters that at times you don’t know if you should love them or hate them.

Throughout the story we learn so much more about the character and the world Adornetto has created in Hades. With detailed descriptions that will leave us all hoping that we never have to set foot in hell.

The ending of the book will have you chomping at the bit for the next one to be released

Will her family and friends get to her before it is to late or will Beth become another fallen angel?
