Darkest Deeds: Tales of the Timeless by Lori Aisling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars.
“My life was planned to the last bloody detail. Then everything changed. I went to Hell.”
A bullet to the head ended Arianna’s murderous killing spree, but the afterlife isn’t what she envisioned. Lucifer claims her dark soul and grants her luxuries she never had in life: acceptance, unbridled lust, and encouragement to act on her brutal instincts.
However, her undeniable draw to Jeremiel, the archangel of Hope, can’t be fought and a glimmer of pure light hidden deep within her begins to shine and she craves the honest and devoted love that beckons.
An angel of Heaven covets her purity, and the King of Hell owns her sinister soul. Neither is willing to surrender their claim.
Can Arianna embrace the eternal bond offered by her angel and shed her evil past, or will she live forever in Hell ruled by her darkest deeds?
This is a standalone novel with a ‘happily ever after’. This book includes characters from Death’s Widow, the first of the Tales of the Timeless books and contains slight spoilers for that novel, but will in no way ruin your experience for either book.

This was a very strange story and unlike anything I have ever read before. I had no clue where this thing was going to go and where it would end up. I like stories that can surprise me and this was certainly surprising. I ended up liking the story and especially how it ended up. It was interesting and intriguing. If you like paranormal stories with angels and/or Lucifer stories you will probably like this one.
