Hades by Alexandra Adornetto

LOVED IT! It was SO good!  Definitely better than the first one and kept me excited and not wanting to wait patiently for the third book!  At a Halloween party Bethany is begrudgingly dragged into a seance after her repeated warnings and unease with it.  During the seance the circle is broken and the demon Jake is released from Hell.  He then uses his magic and Bethany is tricked into following him into Hell, or as Jake likes to call it, Hades.  The whole story is based upon Bethany having to survive in Hell as an Angel of God.  The horrific things she starts to see test her faith and her hopefulness of ever escaping.  She sees some of the different realms of hell and also sees the pit where souls are tortured day in and day out.  I've never read a book that describes in detail a perspective from actually being in hell.  It was super interesting.  While Bethany is in hell, or Hades, her angel counterparts, Gabriel and Ivy, and Bethany's boyfriend and soul mate Xavier are trying to find a portal and figure out how to rescue her with the help of the Angel Michael.  Bethany is sent through turmoil while being made out to be Jake's princess in Hell.  Jake's followers start to question his loyalties and strength wear Bethany is concerned and Jake finds him fighting for her very survival from Satan.  Jake strikes a deal with Jake in the end.  Xaviers life for her innocence.  Will Gabriel, Ivy, Xavier and Michael find a portal to hell in time to save Bethany before she loses her innocence to a Prince of Satan?  I'm SO not giving it away!  This was an awesome book, definitely would suggest it.  Especially if you like reading paranormal romance. Like I said, I've never read a book that had such a new perspective of Hell and Angels.  VERY GOOD, can't say it enough.  Happy Reading!
