I absolutely love this author and read nearly everything she puts out. This one had me laughing out loud many times and I easily read it in one sitting. Valkyrie is phenomenal when it comes to writing relatable characters even though her plot lines are usually out of this world. She amazes me every time because I get pulled in on the first page and she doesn’t let me go until the very end. The characters in this book are very unique; however, still extremely relatable. If you are looking for a good laugh and something quick then this is the read for you!

This author is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I have read other books by her, mainly her fantasy book. The Husbands was a quick read with only 126 pages but it didn’t skimp on any details. She still gives us well rounded and well developed characters. Augustine and Dorian met when an assassin makes a mistake. Over a short period of time they developed some intense feelings but they love their wives and know it cannot go any further. Several years later their wives have a chance encounter and become friends, which in turn leads to the men meeting again. Will they admit what they once had or continue on like they never had a meaningful relationship?

The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have read other books by this author and they were amazing. Going into this book I wasn’t sure what to expect because it’s a different genre than what I’m used to reading from this author. I’m so glad I took a chance on reading this one because it was even better than I could have imagined. There is love, romance, betrayal, forgiveness, danger, twists and turns, and great characters. This was a quick read but full of emotions. While I was reading this story I found myself completely invested in the outcome of the characters, will love be able to overcome the hurt? I wanted Dorian and Augustine to be happy but I also wanted their wives to be happy because I know they loved their wives so much. It’s a tough position that they found themselves in. I think some of the situations they found themselves in were handled maturely. I thought this was a great read and I can’t say enough good things about this book. I highly recommend this book.

This was a cute little love story. I always enjoy a good love story and this one hit the spot. It had the romance of finding love and then a problem that seems like it will end the relationship. I enjoyed reading how Dorian and Augustine finally were able to work together and find happiness. I enjoy reading novels by this author and have liked everything I have read by her.

This reminded me of some of Naomi’s other writings I have read. She has a very unique story telling that I really enjoy. She creates these characters and settings that are complex yet she is able to tell her stories in a novela type style. They are short stories but give so much information and character growth in the short amount of time. I really enjoy reading them.

This is the first book of Naomi Valkyrie’s that I have read and it wasnt fantasy. This one is a romance. I haven’t read one in a bit but I really liked it. It was really cute and had a sweet ending. I recommend this if you enjoy m/m romances since it is about two married men who meet and are drawn to each other.

When she isn’t attending to familial connections, Naomi loves a dark, comfy reading space surrounded by the symbolism of her spiritual archetypes and her daemon/familiars, while she sips her tea and immerses herself in imagination.

I love love LOVE this authors books! I love her style of writing and her imagination. I believe this is my first book by this author that is not paranormal. This is more of a romance filled with suspense and danger! This story shows how one little thing can alter multiple lives forever. Is it in a good way, or bad?
She absolutely nailed this category too. This story was unlike any that I have read before. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you have not picked up a book by Naomi Valkyrie, what are you waiting for? I fly through her books every time, finding myself having a really hard time putting them down.

Having read multiple books by author Naomi Valkyrie, I’d say she has done it again. Another fantastic book that I made quick work of, finishing in no time. Although not my usual trope, the love story of Dorian and Augustine made me forfeit all about that. This book had me on an emotional up and downs. From laughter to tears I was really waiting til the end to finally see if that got their HEA. I mean it was fated to be because what were the chances of their wives becoming quick friends lol. It has forbidden love ,suspense, drama and romance/polyamory. You will totally love it. I definitely recommend reading this 100% hands down . The more the merrier right? lmao

The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie. This is such a good read. Its fairly short but it packs a big punch. Its the story of Dorian who is a married assassin and he’s really good at his job. One night in Miami he is set to take a kill shot and someone walks in front of him and is accidentally hit. His name is Augustine and he is so shocked. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is Augustine’s life story. He ends up in the hospital and Dorian who takes on odd jobs at different time is assigned as Augustine’s physical therapist. Spending so much time together even thought they are both married to women they realize there is a real chemistry between them. Years later their wives become friends and they are thrown together again. While their wives become best friends they are together more and more and the feelings come racing back. Not being able to hide it the wives are bound to find out. What will happen when it does come out? Will their marriages survive or will they finally take a chance on being together?
Wow! I have read this authors paranormal books and didn’t know what to expect from this book but wow she knocked it out of the park! It’s strange how you can be madly in love with your wife and on an accident you fall for the opposite sex. You can actually feel the love both of these men have for their wives but the attraction they have for each other can’t be tamed. There is love, romance, assassin’s, art, writing, money, intrigue and absolute love for all feelings concerned. If you’ve read some of her other books or not, pick this one up, you won’t be disappointed.

Dorian is a killer and accidentally shoots Augustine. He goes to visit Augustine in the hospital and feels an instant attraction even though his wife is at home waiting for him. Dorian nurses Augustine for a short time but they can’t fight their attraction to each other so they walk away but 3 years later they meet again.
Dorian wants to have his cake and eat it but can they? Can they really have a polyamorus relationship?
I really enjoyed this one, I’ve read a few from this author and I really like her books. It was an easy read and I highly recommend it!

I never pass up a book by this author, so I immediately grabbed this upon coming across it. Although most of their books have been more of a paranormal romance, they still knocked this romantic suspense out of the park. I truly enjoyed the inclusion of everyone and the character development. It’s a pretty quick read, but that doesn’t mean the author skimped on any details. This book does not skip any details or have any plot holes anywhere! I absolutely adore all of the characters and feel like each of their relationships are wonderful. If you’re ready for an adventure that has chemistry leaping off the pages while it twists and turns, please don’t pass this one up. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

Hadassah is a fallen angel who’s awaiting sentencing on earth for the crime of helping her brother save a demon. The relationship between her brother’s new family and her is strained, to say the least, so Haddie tries to build some kind of kinship with Jezebel, a friend of her brother’s and someone Haddie believes will reject Haddie. This plan backfires as Haddie is drawn into finding a kidnapped Jezebel. This book is the fifth installment in a series, though each is about stories of different couples in the same universe. Full of supernatural fantasy, mystery, drama, and romance, it really does feel like this book has it all!

A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie is the 5th installment in the Life Is Hell series. While Malaki’s family decides to hold up in Delilah’s house to protect each other from Danger, Malaki’s angelic sister Hadassah comes to stay. Forced to live on earth stripped of her powers as punishment she makes an unlikely friend (maybe more) in Jezebel. Jezebel has a secret that she’s running from. But the past is catching up. Can Hadassah and the rest of the team save Jezebel?
Super excited for this book. Jezebel was so mysterious and I wanted to learn more about her. Seems like all the characters have a traumatic backstory. I’m so glad they are all healing, finding love and learning to trust others again. They are creating the family they didn’t have and it’s a beautiful thing. This series is full of love despite the issues that arise. This is my favorite story in the series so far. I really like Jezebel. If you liked the other parts you’ll love this one too. If you’re new to the series, start at the beginning so you understand the relationships and connections.

A Cold Day in Hell is Book Five in the Life is Hell Series. It is a frenemies to lovers, FF paranormal romance with shifters, angels, pixies, mystery, danger, drama, suspense, secrets, and witty banter. This story focus on Hadassah, an angel, and Jezebel, a shifter. Hadassah is on suspended duty and has been banished to Juniper Lake for misusing her powers. Jezebel likes to keep to herself and finds solitude in the woods running free in her dog form. The two form an unlikely friendship and soon learn to confide in one another. When Jezebel’s past catches up with her Hadassah will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Jezebel’s past is truly heartbreaking, and we learn why she seems abrasive and prefers to be alone. Hadassah’s character seems spoiled and selfish at first but there is more to her than what she shows on the surface. The two learn to rely on one another and become close as they spend more time together leading to friendship and romance. Another great book in this amazing series!

I’m in shock that this was the last book to this series, what an amazing ride these books have been, and I’m sad to see it end. Hadassah get exiled to Earth while she waits for judgement and must put up with Her Brothers new family. Trying not to upset her brother. Hadassah settles on “trying” to make friends with Jezebel as she is the least annoying, she settles for her. Only she gets more than she bargained for! Now they are on the run from Jezebel’s past together. I loved this whole series. You can read this story alone, but I highly recommend you read them in order, but be prepared for an amazing ride that you won’t want to let go of.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a conclusion to an amazingly diverse series. This is book five in the series Life is Hell by Naomi Valkyrie but from book one you already know most of the characters so seeing the growth across each of the books was such a treat. Dual perspectives of Hadassah and Jezebel. Heads up while this book as well as the others could be read as a standalone Hadassah’s start in this book is the direct consequences of her actions in book one.
Hadassah is an Angel from Heaven and after helping her fallen angel brother Malakhi save his demon girlfriend from witches, she is now on probation on earth awaiting her punishment. While she wouldn’t change her mind on helping him, she doesn’t want to “condemn” herself more by interacting with his new less than heavenly family he has made on earth. Jezebel in book one was thought to be just a dog until the climax when Mal and everyone else discovered she was a shifter. She may have been at Mal’s side for years the secret of her identity was a shock and more so that she went so long without revealing herself. Haddie wanted to “please” her brother and show she at least tried so she reaches out to Jezebel in an empty offer to hang out. Suddenly trapped with a shifter stuck to her side everywhere when a threat from Jezebel’s past comes knocking and taking, Hadassah keeps to her good ways and goes on the run with Jezebel to protect her.
What will heaven decide? Can Hadassah keep Jezebel safe? Everything and everyone in this series was constantly growing and evolving with each book and seeing where previous couples were throughout this book was a cherry on top of an amazing series. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes but add in the supernatural, celestial aspects and it’s made all the better as everyone learns that life and the world isn’t black and white. The moment you stop seeing it that way is the moment you truly begin to live a fuller life, a more rewarding life. Naomi Valkyrie is truly one of my favorite authors and I can’t wait to start another one of her books.

A Cold Day in Hell is Book 5 of the Life is Hell series and I continue to love this series so much. I recommend reading this series from the beginning as each book continues the characters in each story and you get more invested…I loved that Hadassah and Jezabel get their story. Angels, demons, shifters, danger, secrets….but chemistry and romance…this story gave me everything that I love….
Haddie is a fallen angel, unfortunately while using her magic when it is prohibited, she has no choice but to serve her probation on Earth. Jezebel is a shifter. and keeps more to herself and her past. You know what they say, the past sometimes can come back…and feeling no longer safe…. Haddie is for the ride with Jezebel. When it all comes down to…will Haddie be able to save Jezebel when she needs her…
Do yourself a favor and check out this series…it definitely is not to be missed!!

A Cold Day in Hell is the 5th book in the Life Is Hell series. I personally can’t wait to read the rest of them!! I didn’t want to put this book down. A couple nights I had to force myself to put it down and go to sleep. I just wanted to finish it! I read this as a standalone, but because there are so many characters you meet quickly, I suggest reading them in order. I am sure there are some back stories in some of this that I might have not picked up on because I haven’t read the rest. YET! In this book you meet Hadassah who is an angle that is on probation for sharing her power with her brother (Malakhi) who’s an exile from Heaven. Her punishment is to live on Earth for whatever period of time the Heaven council sees fit. Helping her brother save a demon has turned her life upside down. Hell on Earth. While she stays with Mal and his chosen family she keeps to herself. She doesn’t want to be included. She wants to get through her sentence and be gone. As to not disappoint her brother more she makes a small attempt to hang out with Jezebel. Thinking she can get out of it easy and go back to being a shut in alone in her room backfires though. Jezebel ends up going on the run from some dangerous people and Hadassah goes with her. Stuck with a shifter who hates her and annoys the crap out of her, but hey maybe Mal will be grateful. IF they don’t kill each other! When Jezebel disappears Hadassah must make a few choices that are going to piss off a lot of people. Will she be able to give up her old life? Will she even have a life once everything settles? This book is so so good!! Slow burn for sure! Paranormal Fantasy that’s definitely a frenemies-to-lovers romance.

Hadassah, a angel made a choice to help her brother save a demon but it had consequences. She was made a fallen angel and sent to earth to await her judgement. She struggles though as shes living with her brother and he lives with demons and she finds herself judging all of them as bad people before she even gets to know them and hides in her room and doesn’t interact anymore than necessary which breeds discontent by all the others at the house.
Someone however goes missing and she has a choice to make. Does she stay out of it and just await heavens decision on her behavior and angel status but disappoint her bother in the process, or does she choose to again help her brother but take the risk that she will never enter the world she loved to help her brother who’s helped her the entire time she was on earth awaiting her fate?

Ohhh nooo this is the fifth and last book of the Life is Hell Series, now i gotta find another book by her lol. It’s very bittersweet. I’ve really enjoyed reading this whole series and I’m not ready for the end, but I couldn’t wait to read Jezebel and Hadassah’s story. Love coming back to Juniper lakes and all its paranormal goodness or badness they’d say lol. This is a f/f enemies to lovers trope with fallen angels, necromancer ,demons and much more. It’s funny and action packed with a kidnapping. I think it became my favorite one. If you have read this or the other, I highly suggest you go and read the whole series. It’s that good. Thank you for another great series, Naomi Valkyrie!

Thinking Jezebel is the least annoying, she settles for her. Only she gets more than she bargained for! Now they are on the run from Jezebel’s past together and Hadassah is starting to have feelings. I loved this whole series and probably this book the most. I really hope she writes yet another book about Juniper Lake and all our friends there. You can read this story alone, but I highly recommend you read them in order and learn to love each character as I have.
