Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.
