The Hero: Rhyan – he was a guardian angel who fell in love with his charge. Though she loved someone else and when she chose the man she loved, Rhyan was seriously depressed. He was so down that he started talking loudly about how unhappy he was, and he had a few choice words about heaven not being the greatest place to be. That was when he ended up in Hell.

The heroine: Abigail – in hell, there are seven sides, that take after the seven deadly sins, each section has a prince or princess of hell that lords over their turf and the souls within. Abigail is a princess of Hell, and her side is gluttony. The souls that were gluttons in life now live in a squalor where it constantly rains acid. They are full of sores that never get better. She was good at her job, she was great at torturing the souls she lorded over, and she was even sleeping with the boss, Lucifer himself. Until one day there was a new soul in her section. One look at him and she couldn’t get him out of her mind.

The Story: The world building in this story is terrific. There are so many different souls in Hell. There are minions, demons, fallen angels, different kinds of beasts and monsters and of course there is Lucifer at the top. So much happens in this book, and there is stuff that happens other places as well, like back in Heaven where Rhyan has some friends, Jocelyn and Malcom. Rhyan goes on a whole journey to get back to Heaven and it certainly isn’t assured that he and Abigail will make it. Meanwhile, when he sleeps, he is able to be in contact with his friends in heaven who can help him by healing his wounds and giving him bits of power that help him survive.

I liked the concept of this book and the story, though I am never happy when the heroine is too mean or slutty and Abigail has both of those qualities in spades. Not only is torturing souls something she does, but she enjoys it way too much. She is also into S&M and kind of a dominatrix in parts. She does get more likable as the story progresses, but I was just not a fan of her as a heroine. I guess I like my Heroes to be strong alpha males and the females to be the weaker sex in romance books, since we all know that isn’t really how it is in real life, or at least it hasn’t been in mine. Maybe because it never happened for me, I like the thought of a strong man who takes care of and cherishes his woman.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Troy Duran. He is one of my favorite male narrators. He has a deep sexy voice and is great at using different voices for different characters and showing emotion through his voice.
