A creepy, masterfully imagined look at the diabolical intrigues of the netherworld.

To be honest, I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. It was all a bit odd!
I had to finish the book though, to find out just how weird it could get!
There were some gory parts in the book, which were described very well. I didn't really have a problem with this, although some may find it distressing. It did seem to be appropriate for the story line though, you would expect a lot of gore in hell!
I found the book more interesting once the Private Investigator and his aid set out to complete their given task. Some problem solving came into the story then, which I liked.
Thanks NetGalley for my copy.

I was VERY excited to settle in with this book and a cup of coffee on a rainy afternoon. But, I just did not get the satisfaction from it, that I was expecting. I am a bit of a grammar and punctuation snob, and the numerous mistakes in this book were very distracting to the point of being irritating. The story has a good premise, but there were some thin spots, here and there, that could have done with a little more substance added to them. There were some points where the writing was a bit confusing and did not flow smoothly. I think the book would be much more interesting and appealing were it to undergo some intensive edits to content with regard to both the rules of grammar and thought process.

*I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley & Black Rose Writing in order to read and provide an honest review.

ell has a new Doctor. One baptized in depravity and utterly without remorse. And he knows the secrets of the portal. Forced into a desperate race through the depths of Hell itself, and pitted against some of the most vicious serial killers in history like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy, the Doctor will stop at nothing to get access to the portal. "There are only three kinds of pain: physical, such as cutting through the bone marrow of a prisoner's leg with a dull hacksaw; emotional, such as torturing a prisoner's family slowly; or psychological, which destroys the hope of the mind." - Hell's Doctor Edict

My stomach is not strong enough - Yuck for me but other may enjoy it.

Unfortunately, I was unable to finish this novel. It just made no sense. The author's writing style made it really confusing to follow along with the action, and there was a constant change-up of characters that added to the confusion. The descriptions of the setting weren't enough for me to understand the world that was being created. Overall, I just felt like I had stumbled into something that was half-baked. Like I mentioned, I didn't finish this novel; maybe it gets better as you go along! However, I'm just going to pass on this one.

thank you.
enjoyed it,
will get copies for family and friends.

An alternative version of Hell from the standard makes this interesting to read.

A great story that is very hard to put down. The writing style is really easy to read. A really good horror story I haven't read in a while.
