Naomi Valkyrie has done it again! Who knew the series would just keep getting better. Reading about Teivel and Oren will keep you wanting more. I honestly could not put this book down! The series is amazing but you don’t have to read the first ones to enjoy this one. I highly recommend them though and have already preordered book 4!

Valkyrie continues to impress me greatly with the care she takes in crafting each book and creating a world that you dive headlong into and feel part of. Because of the character development that carries over, even though these books stand well on their own, I cannot stress how much more enjoyable the reader will find the experience if taking it in series order. Quite frankly, with Valkyrie’s gifted pen, I’m not sure anyone wouldn’t rush to pick up the rest if they started out of order. Regardless, the character development and world building in this book were fantastic. If you fancy not-your-average paranormal romp, this book is most definitely for you. I know these characters are dear to the author for the care she took in each page. And that care made me care. Masterfully done! I cannot wait to read the next book!

This was a really good book! It’s book 3 of this series And I would recommend reading these in order so you get the dynamic and the who’s who in the story, but also they’re great books!
We’ve met both main characters in previous books but I’m glad we get to be in their heads, as Teivel has been a mystery to me.
What do you bet when a demon and a demon hunter fall in love? Well read this and find out, you won’t regret it. Kept me hooked page after page. And I really can’t wait for the next in the series!

The third book in the series, “Hell in a Handbasket” follows Teivel and Oren as they try to solve the mystery of an adorable hybrid baby. A demon with an attitude and a deputy with demon hunter heritage… Both inexplicably drawn to each other.
This was a fast-paced, satisfying read with fun characters with LGBTQ relationship dynamics. It is so great to see more of these characters and storylines! Such a great read!

Hell in a Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie is the third book in the Life is Hell series. Let me tell you that you need to pick up this series. This can be read as a standalone book but would be much better enjoyed read with the other books in the series. The characters have grown and changed as the series has progressed. I really enjoyed this book and the stories keep getting better and better. This book focuses on the character Tievel. At first, I wasn’t overly excited because I wasn’t fond of him, but now that I have gotten to know him better I am a fan. The author gives a fantastic story and made me see how he fits into the greater storyline. I look forward to reading more in this series soon as each book sucks me in more and more.

This is the third installment in this series and probably my favorite so far. It can be read as a stand-alone but the series is so good, you should read them all. Each book keeps getting better. We’ve met Tievel in the previous books and he was always an arse. I’m happy to see that there is more to him than just attitude. This story revolves around him and Oren. Oren really evolves quite a bit as well. By the end of the book, it was good to see how much confidence he gained.
The story is well written and there is enough action to keep you interested. I love the characters and enjoy reading about their escapades. The author does an excellent job of taking things from the first two books, which you think are unimportant, and tying them into this story. I have followed this author from her first book and her writing keeps getting better. Who would have thought that a demon and a demon hunter could fall in love?

I was thoroughly ready and excited to get my hands on this third book in Naomi Valkyrie’s Life is Hell series. I knew that the adventure that awaited me would suck me in and keep me until the last page, so I settled in and dove right in. This book in my opinion should be read after the first two. We get familiar with the landscape and the world that has been created by Valkyrie. It is a vivid one and you will feel as if you have dove right into the story and are experiencing things right along with the characters. I really was excited to see what Teivel and Oran would get as far as a story. I must point out too that I normally don’t enjoy M/M genre reads because they can turn into a bit overwritten and with not much couth so the romance is lost for me, but this one was just right and not overly written that it was a beautiful love story layer to the book. I won’t give much more details to the story away because this is one world you must experience for yourself! I can’t wait to get my hands on the next installment!!

This is the third book in the Life is Hell series. This is a Paranormal Romance novel and comes in at around 150 pages. This story follows Teivel, a demon, and Oren, a demon hunter. Oren is new to this whole demon hunter thing. He recently found out he was a hunter, but there is no one that can assist him on how this all works, so it is a tad overwhelming. Like trying to figure out how the whole demon/demon hunter relationship will work was not tricky enough, a baby gets left on Oren’s doorstep. There was so much to love about this book and a totally unpredictable twist thrown in too!

This is Teivel Tynan’s story, he is a tracker demon who is partial to a cigar, his typical uniform is a black trench coat and matching stetson, when he is working, he frequents the typical dive bars where the less than savoury characters hang out, but he seems to be spending more and more time at Juniper lake since his friends have ended up getting into mischief there, but there is also the matter of his ex’s deputy who’s pull is strong as well. but when a tracking job comes up, he takes it without question. Meanwhile the town deputy and resident demon hunter is pulling his hair out trying to learn more about his ancestry and it doesn’t help matters that he is attracted to Teivel as well, but between his attitude and disappearing acts when he is meant to be helping him train, he is frustrated and angry at the demon for making promises he can’t seem to keep.
In the midst of researching he realises that this job could take longer than normal and that his current living situation is complicated enough without the guilt of leaving the male escort he has a long term contract with knowing that he isn’t interested in that way anymore, at least not since the deputy came onto the scene, so he helps him to relocate and sets him up while he is sleeping and moves in to another base he can call home. As Teivel remains on his tracking job, the deputy is getting more and more annoyed with him, especially when he finds out where he has moved to, but when he decides to go out on his own and ends up picking up a guy, he is rudely interrupted by Teivel slamming the door open on him and having the audacity to tell the other guy to leave, they proceed to have an argument and Teivel is kicked out of the room, but not until the deputy throws him through a wall.
As the trail he is meant to be tracking goes cold and things out of his control start to happen, he finds that ignoring his growing feelings for the deputy is becoming harder for both of them, but when a basket with a baby lands on the deputy’s doorstep and they realise that it is no ordinary baby, things get more mysterious, but can they all work together to find the parents and why people are still trying to find the baby, or will their personal issues get in the way? This is a romance with a LGBTQ twist which will have you following the trails with them all the way through.

Hell in a Handbasket is the third book in Naomi Valkyrie’s Life is Hell series. It follows demon hunter Oran, who turns to demon Teivel for help when he is unable to find anyone more suitable to help him train to carry out his inherited profession. This turns out to be quite tricky, as Teivel keeps disappearing without warning for long stretches of time and also Oran finds himself rather inconveniently attracted to the demon.
With a cast of characters and a setting established in previous books, Hell in a Handbasket quickly settles into the story. There are mysteries and challenges (not least, the baby left in a basket on Oran’s doorstep). The team works together (mostly…) to protect those who need protecting and face the challenges life throws at them.
This is a fun book with a focus on found family as well as romance. It has an enticing urban fantasy/paranormal setting that will appeal to fans of Supernatural, Buffy and similar media.
For me, this is a five star read. Definitely worth starting at book one to get to know the characters and the world.

I have quickly come to love the Life is Hell series by Naomi Valkyrie. I was super excited to read book 3, Hell in a Handbasket, and it did not disappoint. I do not normally read books about the paranormal, nor books focused around M/M/NGBTQ characters, but I really do love this series. Well done Valkyrie! I don’t know where your idea spring from, but keep them coming. The characters have come to life, and I love the little paranormal family that is built in this series. I appreciate that the relationships are clear, but they are subtle, and not graphic. More inferred than actually spelled out.
This book focuses around Teivel and Oren- the most unlikely couple ever! A Demon, and a Demon Hunter; a killer and a cop… but it totally works. I loved the reveal of Teivel’s past, and why he is such a jerk. As well as the history of Teivel and Malachai. The next story sounds interesting… I’m curious to see how that is going to work. To be continued…

Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie is the 3rd book in the Life Is Hell series. I love, love, love, this series. The characters are well written and you will want to read them in order to get the best experience of reading about them. There’s action, suspense, romance, the group works as a team, and all in all it keeps my attention. We met both Oren and Teivel in previous books. Oren’s family are Demon Hunters who have lived in Juniper Lake for generations but didn’t receive all the training due to his relatives passing. Teivel is a Demon who has a big attitude. The way these two come to be close and more sure of each other is a great part of the story. You won’t be disappointed!

Hell in a Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie a fiery five-star read. This is number three in the Life is Hell series and it has been a great series, its so well written and there is an attention to detail that you just don’t normally see. I would say to read them all and read them in order, as they build on each other and the characters gel better the more you know them, you get deeper into the story. The characters have depth and feel like people/demons/demon hunters that you need to get to know. This is a great story and one you need in your life.

Here’s another one! Naomi Valkyrie has got the key to writing an interesting, attention grabbing book. You really get pulled into this story and live it. The attention to detail is so thought out you can really feel the moments. I have enjoyed all the books before this one. But this one is taking the lead. Characters and character development were great. There was action and mystery. The author really gives you a taste of everything in this story. I love paranormal stories and this one doesn’t disappoint. You laugh and want to throw your phone. We follow Oren a demon hunter and Teivel a demon. There is romance so don’t think she forgot to add that. This one will make you laugh a lot. Very excited for the next book.

Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie is the third book in the Life Is Hell series. This is another absolutely fantastic addition to such an incredible series. I was to excited to start reading this book after after enjoying the previous two so much. This book immediately became my favourite of the series – if not one of my favourites from the author. I love how connected I feel to all the characters, how that relationship has been built up from book 1 to now. It makes it so easy to slip straight back into their story, to feel like you are right there with them.
This book was just so well written. There was a level of detail in it that you don’t see from many books. I found myself so caught up in what was happening that I didn’t expect the twist when it came.
If you aren’t yet familiar with this author or this series I would suggest rectifying they today – you definitely won’t regret it.

What happens when the demon falls in love with a demon hunter? A hella good story.
Naomi Valkyrie has become one of my favorite authors. I can really count on her for a really awesome story. Her attention to detail is out of this world. She describes the scene you are reading about and you can literally paint the picture in your mind’s eye. Her stories pull you in from the first page until the very last page in the book. If you love her attention to detail, you’re going to love her character development. I felt a connection to Teviel the demon. Then there is Oren the demon hunter. Oren is coming to terms with his demon hunter lineage. It appears as if these two should be worlds apart but their chemistry tells a whole different tale. It is a fast moving story with a lot of action. I could not put it down until I was finished with the book. I highly recommend this book and the whole series. You will not be sorry.

To say that I am addicted to this series is an understatement! This is my favorite book from the series so far. Meeting Oren and Teivel in the previous books, had me dying for a book for them and I was so excited to see their journey together. Teivel is an ass just like described, but you can definitely see the love he has for Oren. At first I didn’t think they were going to work with Teivel’s former companion Jaru hanging around and getting into trouble but they seem to make it work and they are happy. The introduction to the baby dragon is so sweet and the way they rallied together with the rest of their “family” to help eliminate the threat to the baby and themselves is so sweet. In the back of my mind I still want Teivel and Oren to be alone, I am hoping Jaru can find a life for himself and not be so dependent on the both of them. I CAN NOT wait until the next book, Larkspur sounds like a fantastically fun character and I can’t wait to see what happens. Naomi Valkyrie is quickly becoming one of my top favorite authors with this series alone!

Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell #3) by Naomi Valkyrie is a paranormal fantasy romance story. Naomi has found her voice and stride and is producing some great things with her writing such as this book which is my favourite so far. I think I say that with every new book but it’s true it just keeps on getting better. As this is book three in the series the characters feel like old friends and some new ones too. It is so easy to laugh out loud at their antics. Naomi’s talented narrative and her characters are delightful. I’ve said it before but it’s an original storyline that is a good strong storyline. I love this well woven multi layered tale and series that is so easy to feel as though you are a part of it.

“Sometimes I wonder how I lived most of my life without really knowing that the paranormal world exists right along side the human one. Even though things appear normal for this tiny town, I can’t help but wonder how many paranormal things have gone on here, unnoticed. How many times have I come close to the world of magic and monsters and not known it?” (Oren)
Hell In A Handbasket is the third exciting instalment in the Life is Hell series by Naomi Valkyrie. I adore this series so much!!! From the moment I read the blurb on the first book, I was hooked- and I can honestly say that this series only gets better with each new instalment.
This is a captivating fantasy with demons, banter, drama, mystery, sizzling chemistry, danger, discovery, more than a few surprises, and twists- as well as a heartwarming m/m romance.
A seemingly picture perfect little town. Such a beautiful setting that hides a whole lot of paranormal beings and a lot of supernatural activity which goes on there- and the ordinary folk aren’t even aware of what’s happening right under their noses. But as we have come to learn in the previous books, there is so much more to Juniper Lake than first meets the eye.
This is Oren and Teivel’s story, whom we met in the previous books as secondary characters. Oren has intrigued me right from the beginning, with the discovery of his Hunter heritage. But not having any training or any other Hunters he can call on for guidance or advice, leaves Oren feeling a little vulnerable. He really is still coming to terms with being a Hunter and what that means for him going forward. Trying to figure it out on his own is draining. Add a sexy demon to the mix and things really heat up. But he’s a Hunter and Teivel’s a demon- and a bit of a prickly one at that, so they shouldn’t work- but their chemistry says otherwise. Then bring a little surprise package into the mix- and this story really takes off!!! I really couldn’t read this story quick enough, flipping the pages to discover what happens next- and all the while dreading racing through the story, as I really didn’t want it to end.
As I have mentioned a few times now, but it is worth repeating- Naomi Valkyrie is a talented storyteller- weaving such wonderfully original and completely captivating fantasies. Her work is always very creative, rich and dynamic- with plenty of texture and imaginative touches which enable her story and characters to come to life- pulling me into their world and whisking me along for the ride.
I really can’t wait to read book #4 and see where we go from here!
Thank you, Naomi Valkyrie!

I have loved every book that I have read by this author which is all of them. This one is one of my favorites by her yet. This is the third book in this series which can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading all of this series. This is a well written story that pulled me in right from the beginning. The author’s attention to detail made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I love seeing characters from previous books in this one also. This is a story about a demon tracker and a demon. The tracker is no stranger to heartbreak and neither is going to Juniper Lake. Her first trip was supposed to be a one time thing but when it calls out to her she just has to go back. What happens after she gets there is for you to find out and read this book. I love the characters in this story and what they bring to the plot. I highly recommend this book.

YES!! My favorite so far of the series… WOW this one had me glued to my kindle, it gave me everything and then some that I would ever want in this series. I seriously don’t even know where to begin writing this review. This author writes with so much care in all of her details, and the words just flow beautifully!
First of all, I’m pretty sure that one of the reasons I loved this so much is because I have read the first two and have gotten to know these characters, I mean they feel like friends now LOL I just can not recommend reading these as stand alones, the building of these characters and the storylines make this a must read in order series in my opinion to get the full effect of everything. This author has bonded this group together so well and even though most shouldn’t even be in the same room they have literally become a family and when they are all together it makes for some of the best parts of these books.
Larkspur has to be one of my favorite characters of all time, I want him!! His part in these books and the way the author writes his character has me feeling like he is real. Don’t know how else to explain it. I can’t wait for more on the future of Drakelynn, I have a feeling I’m going to love him just as much. I am trying so hard to stay away from any of the storyline because the first 2 really need to be read.
I will say there was a twist in this story that blind sided me, I thought I had it all figured out early on and was so wrong and I loved that! The danger scenes had me on the edge of my seat and the times I laughed out loud were genuine. I love everyone of these characters and what each one brings to the table and I can not wait for what is next. I have hopes that it will include a newer character that joined the gang during this book but I trust no matter what way she takes this I will love it. I seriously don’t want this series to end!
One Click these, this is an amazing series!!

I give Hell Hath No Fury (Life Is Hell Book 2) by Naomi Valkyrie, 5 stars.
This is the second book in the series and what an incredible book it is! Characters we met in book one take the center stage and do such an amazing job of pulling us in. I wanted to know more about Sheridan as soon as I first met her and I am so happy that this book is about her. We learn so much more about her and find out how wonderful and unique she really is. Her interest in Millicent is unique and refreshing. While different relationships are more acceptable in supernatural books, it is so refreshing that this series is up front about them. These two women are obviously interested in each other. At the same time, the author is not preaching or trying to convert us. It is just another relationship. That makes this good book even better.
But let us not forget the story itself. Full of all emotions, you will be on the edge of your seat the whole time. It kept me guessing until the very end. The suspense is really here in the book, it’s not just about the feelings the two main characters have for each other. I really like this in books — many things happening at once.
If you are a fan of urban fantasy/supernatural romance with exceptional characters and a vivid, imaginative story, this series and book are for you. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend the whole series.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. This author never disappoints! As soon as I started reading this story I couldn’t put it down. This book has danger, suspense, humor, romance, magic, wonderful characters and so much more. I loved the characters of Millicent and Sheridan, their characters grew and learned some things about themselves and each other by the end of this story. There are also other really great characters in this book that you won’t want to miss out on. You can read this book without having read the first one but it is my suggestion that you read them in order. The author drew me right into the story so I felt like I’m right there. I highly recommend this book.

Hell Hath No Fury is the 2nd book in the Life is Hell series by Naomi Valkyrie. It should be read after No Rest for the Wicked, as this book continues where the previous left off. The story has many characters, all intertwined, but ultimately it focuses on Sheridan and Millicent. I don’t normally read paranormal books, but I really enjoy this series. The characters are likeable and of varying species (is that the right word…) of paranormal. Their relationships are different, but it all seems to work. While it does have relationships, it doesn’t reach the R rated scenes. I wasn’t fully invested in them, but more because it isn’t just your normal man and woman. Its demon, witch, dhampir, etc. But its a good balance with action, that keeps us guessing what might happen next. The writing is very descriptive, so despite me not typically reading this genre, I can envision it all unfolding. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
