Readers are introduced to Kellen and Marcella in Kiss & Hell. Kellen hated Marcella.
She’s a (was) a demon. He knows that there is only one way to become a demon,
evil. He has fought an attraction to her due to this perceived evilness. After
Marcella fought the battle with Lucifer with Clyde and Delaney, Kellen sees her
differently. He knows there was more to her than demon.
Marcella and Kellen go into a relationship that they both
know will have problems. She’s a ghost. She has no clue how much time she has
on the livings plane. Kellen is very mortal. If Marcella does manage to stay on
the living plane Kellen will eventually die of old age.
The reasons behind how Marcella became a demon come into
light. Those reasons also play a huge role in the plot of the book. The same
reasons also demand that she start trusting the people around her enough to let
them into her (un)life and heart.
I loved the fact that Darwin (Delaney’s dead Rottweiler) was
given voice. I LOVED his role in this book. He brought the comedy to the pages.
I also enjoyed his various forms on the living plane. I think he was much
needed, without Darwin the humor would have been lacking. The missing humor was
a bit of a disappointment to me. I didn’t find this book nearly as funny as the
first.
I think My Way to Hell
could easily be read as a stand-alone. The major events of Delaney and Clyde’s
book were worked in as conversation, without a major rehashing. I am positive
that the readers were introduced to a couple who could easily get a book. The
ending wraps up without any loose ends that leave you dying to get your hands
on the next book. I like that, I really hate cliff hangers that leave me
hanging while an author writes a book that I have to impatiently wait for.
