A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

A Cold day in Hell is the fifth book in the Life is Hell series by Naomi Valkyrie. This is a captivating fantasy with angels, shifters, demons, pixie, imp, other supernatural beings, humour, banter, family, drama, mystery, danger, f/f romance, chemistry, an enemies-to-lovers element, magic, tension, suspense, secrets, action, sacrifice, and lots more.
This is Hadassah (Haddie) and Jezebel’s story- Haddie is an angel on suspended duty for miss using her powers and has been sent to Earth on probation. She isn’t happy about it- all she wants to do is serve her time and get back to heaven. But things take a bit of a complicated turn when Haddie feels obliged to help one of her brother’s friends.
Jezebel is a bit of a recluse, a shifter who has been trying to hide from her past. She knows that eventually it will catch up with her and she will have no choice but to run again. She just didn’t expect it to be now, or to have to go on the run with a prickly angel by her side.
Jezebel has been quite the mysterious character throughout the series, We knew she was a shifter, but little else. This book really allows us to get to know her, and my heart broke finding out everything she had been through. She and Haddie had a bit of rocky start- but the chemistry was there all along. They really were perfect for each other. After meeting Haddie previously, I wasn’t sure I would like her as she had been quite abrasive. But following along on the story and finding out more about her, I understand why she is prickly and discovered there is more to her than first meets the eye- and I ended up loving her.
As expected, Ms. Valkyrie created superb tension and suspense throughout her story, balanced beautifully with some tender, emotive, and heartwarming moments.
I love that even though each book concentrates on one particular ‘couple’- there is also a much bigger picture being painted and a secondary, subplot/bridging storyline woven through the series that amps up the danger and tension- and has me itching for more. Having said that I really recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one- as knowing what happens previously will definitely enhance your reading experience of this book.
I know I keep saying this, but I really do adore this series so very much!!! It’s wonderfully original, with intriguing storylines featuring quirky and endearing characters who have firmly embedded themselves into my heart, and I can’t get enough.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Naomi Valkyrie!
