No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell Series) by Naomi Valkyrie . This book was an amazing start to this series! I love this author so I wasn’t surprised but wow. Its the story of Delilah who is a demon who gets revenge on cheaters. She is burned out and needs a change of pace so she heads to Juniper Lake where she thinks it will be quiet and calm, of course that is not what she finds. The sheriff Malakahi has been sheriff in Juniper Lake for a few years now and he is so tried of trying to hide the fact that he is not human. Delilah keeps getting the sense of a spell coming on and somehow gets bonded to a trio of witches. She also keeps getting a pull toward the sheriff and she knows that won’t work out. Will Malakahi find out that Delilah is a demon before she can get done what she needs to? Seems like the sheriff is everywhere Delilah shows up. She also has the witches to deal with. She came here wanting a break and she is not getting that at all. Such a fun, fast paced paranormal romance.

No Rest for the Wicked is Book One in the Life is Hell Series. It is a polyamorous paranormal romance with action, drama, suspense, mystery, danger, passion, magic, demons, demon hunters, witches, and shifters. The story centers around the MC Delilah, a demon who has been hunting adulterers for as long as she can remember. She used to enjoy it but now she finds herself bored and in need of a break. Delilah decides she needs a holiday, so she drives until she finds a quaint little town called Juniper Lake. She figures this is just the quiet little place where she can relax and recharge but instead finds herself wrapped up in a mystery that will put her to the ultimate test. This was a fast-paced and intriguing read full of twists and turns that kept me hooked until the very end. This is one of my favorite authors because of her unique writing style and way of weaving a story that never fails to deliver. She always has interesting characters that fascinate me with their quirks and multi faceted personalities. Delilah is yet another of those characters that I loved because of her feisty attitude, strength, determination, and witty sense of humor. Oh, and let’s not forget the amazing cover on this book, wow! Anxious to read the next book in this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Burn out in need of a vacation turns into a messy mystery. Truly one of my all-time favorite authors I take every chance I am given to read one of Naomi Valkyrie’s books and they never disappoint. Book one of the Life is Hell series gives us a bang of an introduction to this tiny world with big secrets hiding in the shadows. Dual perspectives of Delilah and Malakhi this book takes you on a mystery from two different sides.
Delilah is essentially a vengeance demon that gets revenge on cheating partners. Two hundred years ago that’s what she sold her soul to do for herself when her boyfriend cheated on her. Life in the big city has become too much and she is in dire need of a vacation and after three days of driving she finds a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, Juniper Lake. Sheriff Malakhi has been in Juniper Lake for five years, and after pretending to be human for so long he has forgotten how to research the paranormal way. Summoning circles, a murdered demon hunter and the intriguing Delilah have his head spinning on how they are all connected. Mortified with herself that she fell for a trap Delilah has no choice but to follow the orders the trio of witches give her, no matter how much she doesn’t want to. No rest for the wicked irks her as during the day she tries to find ways to free herself of their binding and reclaim her freedom from them. Thanks to an old journal she discovers that the unassuming little town has a history with demons but how and why.
Can Delilah free herself before Malakhi figures out who she is? Will she give into her attraction to Malakhi? What life could she have in Juniper Lake if she gave in to the urge to move there? The author never skimps on the details and this book is no different. Instantly sucked into the world as you devour the pages in search of answers with Delilah and Malakhi. Both intriguing characters as they have lived far longer than they look and after such mundane lives they have a spark of interest and curiosity in each other that despite trying to fight it sometimes they can’t help but be drawn to each other. I am trapped in this world but it’s in a good way. Can’t wait to jump into book two in the Life is Hell series, Hell Hath No Fury, and learn more about Sheridan. Delilah’s friend that looks after the bar during her vacation. I’ll see you there.

This is the first book in Valkyrie’s Life is Hell series and it is superb! I was hooked from the first page and I literally could not put it down. I finished this book in a day…maybe a day and a half because ya know…responsibilities and all. I fell in love with all of the characters in this book and just how they interacted with each other and evolved was *chef’s kiss*. The plot of No Rest for the Wicked is original and very well-done and so seamless. This is a very fast-paced book that you are going to have a very hard time putting down once you pick it up so go ahead and cancel your plans for the day or night…whatever. I cannot wait for this series to continue and see what Valkyrie has in store for the other characters!

It is always nice to find new series. I have read a couple of books from this author and I was not disappointed. The series is unique and I found it to be a breath of fresh air. The author brings the characters to life. I really found myself unable to put this book down once I started. The book is very balanced and has just the right amount of drama and adventure. I really love paranormal books and this really will make it to my top ten. I cannot wait for the next book to see how the series progresses.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Rest for the Wicked is the first book in the Life is Hell series. I’ve been enjoying a lot of books by this author recently, including the House Valdis series, so knew I was in for a treat with this one! I love how she brings together unique fantasy elements and a variety of LGBTQ+ relationships.

In No Rest for the Wicked, we discover the small town of Juniper Lake through the eyes of burnt out demon Delilah. She’s in need of a break and, as the title suggests, the universe has other plans for her! This book does a good job of establishing the characters and giving the town history and depth.

I particularly like some of the supporting characters, including Jezebel and Millicent. I need to read more of the series now to get to spend some more time with these characters!

This book gets five stars from me. I’d recommend the series to readers who are already fans of the author’s work, and those who enjoy varied LGBTQ+ paranormal romances.

No Rest for the Wicked is the first book of the Life is Hell Series. I am so happy to have found this author Naomi Valkyrie. I first had read her House Valdis Series( if you haven’t read it I highly suggest you read it. It’s really good!). This story is a fast- paced read with MMF a trope. I made quick work of this. That’s how good it was 😀. After killing cheating husbands for about 200 years, Delilah takes a much needed break in a small town, Or so she thought lmao cause what she thought was a small town turned out to be filled with paranormal beings . I loved Delilah. She was a kickbutt , smart, strong main female character. I can not wait to read the next four books. I really enjoy reading books published by this author. I can’t wait to read more. I highly recommend reading this and the others 🥰
Also I love to cover its super cute!!!!!!

This is the second series I have started by Naomi Valkyrie. I love her writing style. Her booms are short but are great stories. No Rest For the Wicked follows Delilah, a demon who sold her soul as a human. She is looking for peace and normalcy and not just hurting and killing when she leaves the city for a small town called Juniper Lake. She may have thought a small town would fill what she was looking for but she finds more than she bargained for.

It is a fast read but worth it. I recommend checking out Naomi Valkyrie’s books. You won’t be disappointed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Delilah is a demon who lives in the city and owns a bar. She also is a killer but a killer with morals. She hunts bad people. Even demons need a break sometime. To get away from it all, Delilah goes to the small town of Juniper lake and rents a cabin. She longs for a mundane vacation.

Unfortunately, life has other plans. After a couple nights of feeling the tug of a summoning spell, Delilah decides to find out who keeps trying to summon her and unexpectedly gets bound to a trio of witches. Her vacation quickly gets turned to work when she is given a list of tasks to do. It also doesn’t help that Delilah seems to be drawn to the towns sheriff, Malakahi. No way could their relationship work… right?

Delilah has to try to break the bonds if she wants to go back to her vacation time but it may be harder than it looks. Especially when Malakahi seems to be everywhere.

I loved the premise of a demon wanting to settle down, it gives them a bit of humanity. Delilah may be a demon but she still seemed like a caring and sassy sweetheart. I really enjoyed her character.

Naomi Valkyrie is such an amazing writer. I literally have added most of their books to my to be read list. They have such a unique and vivid way of writing. It’s never a dull moment no matter which of their books you read. Can’t wait to read the second book of this series!

After reading House Valdis Origins: Xenobia I knew this was going to be a uniquely addicting series. The blend of science fiction and fantasy in the books makes everything feel new and exciting! From vampires to ghosts to aliens they all have a refreshing twist. Just like the series itself, completely unexpected and unpredictable! Xen is such an entertaining character to get to know and each page just flies by with fast paced action and intrigue! I would highly suggest reading these books in order (starting with the prequel) to understand and fully take in Naomi Valkyrie’s amazing world!

This short read is full of all sorts of paranormal activities. From the beginning you meet Delilah a Demon who is unsatisfied in her endeavors or rather bored. She sets off on an adventure that leads her to small town USA for a much needed vacation. Things take a fast turn for this sassy demon. This is a dual POV and it definitely is a fun little read. There might be some TWs to some but nothing extreme, and doesn’t affect the books impact in any way. 4 stars.

I swear Naomi can do no wrong! I absolutely loved this story. Delilah is a Demon with morals. Malakhi is mysterious. There is attraction between the two. There are a few twists in this story and a few things that caught me off guard. Definitely a great read for those into the supernatural. What I like most about all of Naomi’s stories is that everyone gets represented.

I never hesitate to pick up any work from this author because they always take me on such an unforgettable adventure! It was a phenomenal quick read for my day. I couldn’t believe how perfectly the author balanced the length of the book with the development of the plot and characters! I have read the prequel and the first book in the series, so I was ecstatic to pick this up and dive right in. I will say that it should not be read as a standalone or you will likely get quite confused with the storyline and characters. I usually have a difficult time with books that have more than two points of view, but this was an exception to the rule. It’s told from multiple points of view, and I absolutely loved it. Xenobia has such huge responsibilities while they try to make things better for the people she loves. I don’t want to give anything away, but the amount of unpredictability in this book is a major win for me! I am crossing my fingers that the author gives us more to this series. If you love dark, paranormal fantasy books, don’t pass this one up!

This is the second book in the series. That being said, if you have not read the first book this one may be hard to follow and you will not have all of the storyline. I loved the first book so when I got my hands on this book it took me no time to devour.

As she navigates the town’s secrets, she discovers that even the Sheriff isn’t as he appears.

It Comes From Within, by Naomi Valkyrie, is the second book to the House Valdis series. I highly recommend reading the first book prior to beginning this story, along with the short prequel House of Valdis Origins: Xenobia, as it gives you a comprehensive look into Xenobia’s former life. The author struck gold again with It Comes From Within. I felt like this story held up very strong alongside the previous book, which I also very much enjoyed. The creativity put into crafting this world of Xenobia and her friends held me captive from beginning to end. There are a lot of elements weaved into the story, which surely can appeal to many types with genre preferences. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a book full of fantasy and adventure showcasing an exciting storyline with well-developed characters. I will be keeping an eye out for another installment!

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell Series) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Rita White

This is the first book of the Life is Hell Series.  What a ride! This book is a short, fast-paced book that has a bunch of characters that you learn a lot about in a short amount of time.  The author takes each character and goes in depth so you get a good feel for each of them.  My hope is that in the other 4 books, she will expand on each character.
Delilah is a demon trying to go on vacation to rest and see what a semi normal life would be like.  She picks a small little town and rents a cabin by the lake.  There is a nosey sheriff, a diner and other things you would find in a small town, but it also has demons, demon hunters, witches, and other creatures that you will just have to read to find out about. Oh, and the cover is wicked good! Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Another great book by Naomi Valkyrie. Even demons need a vacation! Delilah sold her soul to get revenge on an ex and now she’s a demon who kills cheaters. Normally she enjoys her job but lately she’s just not feeling it. Even demons need a vacation! Right? So she takes off with no destination in mind to find some peace and quiet. Just when she thinks she has found it, fate has other plans.
This book has demons, shifters, witches, a little romance and more. I really enjoyed Delilah’s character. Her whole I kill people but I still like to curl up with a good book is so my kind of attitude. And her need for some peace! I recommend you pick up this quick read.

Xenobia has her hands full since she has taken over House Muerte without learning that a new blood den has been formed. She has Chiamaka’s request to give his conduit, Ezrah, her blood, and then his request for Xenobia to become his conduit. Matthew and Onyx are present in her room at all times, and their linking invades her mind constantly. Beyond this, Sybil has begun having visions of the victims of a vampire attack. Onyx goes undercover, bringing Sylvia with him so she can teleport if they get into a bind. When challenged to drink Sylvia’s blood, he discovers her addictive secret. Meanwhile, Audrey has been monitoring Emberly’s nightmares, and they have started a relationship. Emberly convinces Audrey to take her to the blood den. She has plans for the rogue vampires to go out in a blaze of glory.
Naomi Valkyrie’s It Comes From Within continues the tale of Xenobia’s struggle to remain a pacifist. She is afraid of her power, which she believes makes her a mass murderer. The exceptional detail and various character views add depth to the unpredictable plot. The suspense, witty remarks, and intrigue made this novel difficult to put down. I was able to envision every moment with vivid descriptions. I have read the previous books in the series, and they just keep getting better. There are no dull moments to be found on any page, and the book is, without a doubt, well worth a five-star rating.

Naomi Valkyrie, often called a Firebrand Provocateur, brings her unique Autistic perspectives and curiosities to life by weaving tales of deep connection, mystery, and romance. She is inspired by being able to spontaneously create a thought that takes on a life of its own, opening up new adventures for her readers.

 

The Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy realms are particular areas of interest for Naomi as they allow for the vast exploration of magic, adventure, and the impossible while creating diverse characters that her readers connect with on an emotional level.

 

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It Comes From Within is Book Two in The House Valdis Series. It is a polyamorous urban sci fi fantasy filled with action, danger, mystery, suspense, secrets, lies, drama, romance, friendship, vampires, shifters, aliens, magic, and paranormal. This book picks up where the first book left off, so I highly recommend reading Book One first. It will introduce you to the characters as well as give you each of their backstories. Xenobia is struggling with her new leadership as she tries to merge House Valdis with the former House Muerte. The stakes are high and the merging of the two houses comes with a great deal of responsibility that she does not feel prepared for. As if that is not enough, Xenobia is faced with a new enemy, the White queen, who is determined to create her own den of vampires and become ruler at all costs. The story is told from the POV of numerous characters which enables the reader a deeper understanding of each of them. A fast paced, action-packed, rollercoaster ride that leaves you breathless in anticipation of the next book. This author never fails to deliver a fantastic story!

It Comes From Within is the second book of theHouse Valdis. I HIGHLY suggest you go check out the first book and also the prequel before reading this on, that way you have a full understanding of what’s happening and how Xenobia started out. This one takes place six months after the last book. This is also told from Multiple perspectives which is awesome so you know just how everyone’s feeling and thinking throughout the whole book. Gotta love that, so you are not left saying “i wonder what so and so was thinking right now”. But man i didn’t think this storyline couldn’t get any better than the last I was wrong lol. Naomi Valkyrie writing and world building is fanfreakingtastic. Like I swear this had me in a chokehold until the end.like i had a lot to do today but i kinda blew that off to finish reading this book 😂 oops. I really hope there will be more from this series, until then i will be going to check out some of her other books. 🥰

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to being back with Xenobia and co and I was not disappointed. The storyline continues and it is six months since Xenobia took over and the stress of the House Valdis expansion is starting to show. Xen is determined to show the former House Muerte members that she is not at all like their former Master. However, her good intentions have lead to insurrection, and an unsanctioned blood den is discovered, along with an unexpected enemy being revealed. This leads Xen to reminisce but her memories can either haunt her or give her the solution she needs for victory. Once again I was transported into the urban fantasy/paranormal world of the House Valdis, and the descriptive narrative brings the setting vividly to life. I love the quirky and unique characters and I enjoy the multiple POV’s as it makes me feel engaged with all the characters. The LGBTQ relationship dynamics add to the story and the fast paced, exciting plot kept me hooked throughout.
