Good thing this Hellcat has nine lives because he’s going to need them if he’s going to survive Lucifer’s latest scheme and land on his four furry feet.
Okay, so Felipe ate a few of the Styx sea creatures. In his defense, they were awfully tasty. Depleting the monster reservoir didn’t mean Lucifer had to go all Lord of Hell on him and order him to go on a stupid mission. And to Siren Isle of all places! Everyone knows males should stay far, far away from that dangerous place. The only stroke of luck is the woman he’s after isn’t a siren. Nor is she quite a mermaid. As a matter of fact, Jenny isn’t like anyone he’s ever met—so, of course, this curious cat wants her.
Except he’s not the only one.
Not long after his arrival, he runs into problems, which he’s only too happy to solve in a permanent and violent fashion. Getting Jenny off the island and back to Hell’s inner circle is proving more troublesome than expected, though. Who knew a simple retrieval mission would signal the start of a dangerous—yet exhilarating—adventure, and despite his tomcat ways, this purring feline can’t help but fall in love.

Eve Langlais never ceases to amaze me with the characters that she creates. The hero in this book is a Hellcat, which was no surprise from the title. The heroine, though, that caught me by surprise. The prologue starts off with Jenny waking up as a child washed up on the Siren Isle. She has green curly hair and scales on her legs. The Sirens don’t really know exactly what she is or what to do with her. But, since they haven’t had children of their own in a long, long time, they adopt her. However, she doesn’t quite have the pipes Sirens are known for. In fact, quite the opposite. People will run off a cliff when she talks and kill themselves when she sings. Even some immortals aren’t immune.
Felipe is a Hellcat. We actually met him in A Demon and His Witch, as he was taken in by Ysabel as a stray. He was also her familiar. He has a knack of eating sea creatures out of the river Styx. So, Lucifer sends him on a mission to recruit Jenny to come help Lucifer. Jenny hasn’t left Siren Isle since she arrived, but Lucifer now wants her in the innermost circle of Hell. And he wants Felipe to bring her.
Yep, Lucifer is at it again. That demon has quite the knack for matchmaking. It has given him quite the ego too, as if he needed the boost. We get to watch how Lucifer has once again done a great job pairing up two unlikely people to make a great couple, even if it takes a while for them to figure it out. Felipe, as a tomcat, has no use for settling down, though the thought of not being with Jenny now that he’s met her drives him crazy. How could a tomcat like him ever settle down.
This is another fun story as Jenny and Felipe trek through Hell. They have some adventures. They have some fun times. There are some very good emotional times. And lastly, this couldn’t be an Eve Langlais book without laugh out loud moments. In this book, we get the most time with Lucifer’s lady love, Gaia. We also see who will be the features of the next book. Charon’s son, Adexios, who has been causing issues left and right. Plus an Amazon who helped Jenny and Felipe trek through Hell. That has funny written all over it.
I had to use this quote, even though it doesn’t feature our hero or heroine, it does feature Lucifer and his daughter Muriel.
“So once again, I’m here to save your hairy ass.”
“I’ll have you know I had it waxed earlier this week.”
Muriel wasn’t the only one to groan at this revelation. “Too much info. Anyhow— Hold on a second, is that a ducky with horns on your slicker?”
Thrusting his shoulders back, Lucifer grinned as showed off. “Yes, do you like it?”
“Only you could hope to carry if off,” was her reply.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
“So once again, I’m here to save your hairy ass.”
“I’ll have you know I had it waxed earlier this week.”
LOL. I can’t wait to read this one. Great review.
Lucifer is my favorite Eve Langlais character. He is always great for a laugh. Who would’ve thought Hell could be this much fun? 🙂 I hope you enjoy it.

I need to read more Eve Langlais. ^_^ Thank’s for the review.

I read so much Eve. I can’t keep up with her writing. I just got Croc’s Return on audio. I’m excited. 🙂

I hope you like it Stormi. Eve is an author that can always make me laugh.

This sounds really good. I somehow completely missed this series by Langlais! Woo new series to read. I might actually cheat and start with this book though. I like the sound of the two main characters.

I don’t think you’ll have a problem starting with this book. It does mention characters from other books, but I think you’ll be okay. Each is really a story into itself. I hope you enjoy.

Sounds like a really fun read and an author I need to try!
Eve has a ton of great series. I think this one along with Princess of Hell, both set in the same world are my favorite. If you want to try this author with more standard shifter PNR, I recommend Kodiak Point series. Though she has many other great series. Many I haven’t read yet.

Maybe one day

I have a bunch of those “maybe one day” series. So many books, so little time. *sigh* Not a bad problem to have, that is for sure.
Melanie recently posted…#FitReaders: Weekly Check-In Jan 15 2016
Oh yes, I liked this one and this reminds me that I need to get busy and read Hell’s Geek. I’ve had it sitting there waiting for me. More Lucifer! 🙂
I’m excited for Hell’s Geek. Have you tried the Princess of Hell series? That is where Lucifer starts with his daughter Muriel. There’s three books in it and another one coming out in February, which reminds me that I need to re-read Hell’s Revenge before it comes out.
Melanie recently posted…#FitReaders: Weekly Check-In Jan 15 2016
I need to read the Princess series. I got the first one as a freebie. That was going to be next after Hell’s Geek which I hope to get to this week. 🙂
A matchmaking demon sounds like a hoot! Also, can I just say that I wish the author has named Jenny differently? Jenny sounds so banal for a paranormal character such as her. Lol.
I would be horrible at thinking up names. I can barely name my pets and I don’t have to do that very often. I kept the name that the rescue gave my current dog.

It sounds so good, one day I will read her books!
I hope you get a chance to one day. She is a hoot.

oh I need to get a hold of this series. This author is such a blast to read isn’t she?? Always entertaining, lively and the humor is fantastic.
She is a blast. She is even more fun in person. I met her at RAGT last year. I had so much fun with her.
Melanie recently posted…Review: Firestorm by Shannon Mayer (@TheShannonMayer, @HiJinksInk)
I have this author on my wishlist, but I think it may be this series that really starts me on reading her. This sounds so good. I love hellhounds, so I have to know about a hellcat. I also love how this is so humorous. Brilly review!

Thanks Melissa. The series that got me started on her was set in this same world with Lucifer and his daughter. It is still my favorite world that she’s created because I love Lucifer so much.
Melanie recently posted…Review: Firestorm by Shannon Mayer (@TheShannonMayer, @HiJinksInk)
You have me feeling for Jenny and her voice that will drive someone off a cliff – or to death. And I can’t wait to see the antics she and Felipe get up to. I know I’ll be laughing out loud over Lucifer because I did just while reading your review. 😉 I have to get back to this series, Melanie!
I feel that people might run off the cliff if I were to sing. LOL. I just love Lucifer to pieces. He is probably my favorite Eve Langlais character.

That quote is too funny. Sounds like a good book.
