Hell to Pay

Awesome read!!!

It started off slow 🐌, but in the middle pick up some speed,so it was more interesting till the end

I am not a fan of cliffhangers. But overall a good beginning to a new series. Worth the read.-Kitten M

Sherrilyn Kenyon Has given us a different type of story line Very interesting characters and point of view I would recommend this series to anyone who likes her writings Kept me on the edge of my seat. I recommend it to all my friends

I love Sherrilyn Kenyans books. This newest book is great! Luke, the son of the devil, was banished to earth. He and his new partner at Infernal Affairs are tasked with solving a string of murders. I loved the chemistry and interactions between Luke and Sorcha. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I was not a fan. I love Sherrilyn but this book did nothing for me. It felt empty and the characters did not seem fully developed. There was so much potential but it fell short for me. It was readable. Read it for yourself. You may love it. It just was not for me. I sill love you Sherrill.

A new style from a wonderful author. Tamer story but cute characters. Editing could be better, grammar and spelling errors stopped the flow a few times but overall good new series

Love the new series. The characters are interesting and fun.Just the right amount of humor and mystery. Luke and Sorcha are going to be fun to read.

you are thrown in right away to the action and it just ramped up from there. I can't wait to read from this author

This is a great and awesome start to a brand new series, I’d recommend this to everyone. Can’t wait for the next book

This story for me was confusing? I need to read the next book to see if it can make sense. I can wait for it because I’m still not certain I like the book.

Another incredible book! I flew through it and am writing this review at 4am. ITS THAT GOOD! I can't believe the next 1 won't come out until March

As is the norm for Ms. Kenyon, another phenomenal book. Luke, Sorcha, Hellie and the rest of the characters are all despicable and lovable at the same time. I can’t wait for the next book!

Ok, first things first, this is a stand-alone book that takes place in the same world as the Dark Hunter's. You'll see similar beings mentioned and some character names from the Dark Hunter's series. However, that being said, you do not need to have read any of the Dark Hunter's books...yet...I haven't opened a Dark Hunter book in years and now feel the need to go back and double check on things in this series. Secondly, yes, this book has quite the cliffhanger; having said that, enjoy the book and let me tell you, it's great! Both the FMC and the MMC are flawed but great together. It's definitely a multi-series slow burn. Super enjoyed that part of the book, all tbe tension between Sorcha and Luke is great. The side characters are hilarious as is all the banter throughout the book! Is it March 2027 yet so I can get a hold of the sequel? No, whelp read this intro into this start of a great new series and love it from start to cliffhanger. Like any Sherrilyn Kenyon novel, it's great and you won't be disappointed!.

This book has everything I love in an urban fantasy - magical creatures of all kinds, an eclectic cast of characters, a hint of romance, and a murder mystery. While the resolution wasn't as compelling as I wanted it to be, there were parts of this book that had me rolling on the floor laughing at times. I can't wait to read the rest of this series.[As a warning, this book does contain headhopping POVs, which may be disconcerting or confusing to some readers.].I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Luke is the son of Lucifer and for unknown reasons has been kicked out of Hell. While trying to figure out who betrayed him, he works for Infernal Affairs, the law enforcement agency that figures out the supernatural crimes.Sorcha is his new partner, and she definitely gets thrown in the job on her first day with a bunch of supernatural goings on. Including finding out there are demons in the closet at the office. Honestly, though, I don't know how she wasn't laughing at all the things the demons were saying when Luke explained them to her.There were definitely parts of this book that had me smiling and laughing at the comments that were made. Luke is an antihero that has sarcastic and snarky comments that made me smile and really like him. And then there were parts that were just downright freaky and sad. Like the investigation into what was killing college kids and stealing their souls.I'm used to reading this authors Dark Hunter romance books so was surprised at first that it's not her typical romance book like those. It's more of a fantasy crime investigation and thriller with the beginnings of what I'm sure will become a romance between Luke and Sorcha later in the series. I like that it wasn't predictable and kept me wondering right along with them, who 's trying to frame Luke for killing the college kids and why do they want him out of the way so badly. I also loved that we got a Dark Hunter cameo in the book, when Luke checked in with one to find out if Daimons were involved in their investigation. That was awesome that the different book series connected like that.Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next in the series. It reminded me of a combination of the tv shows Lucifer and Supernatural. And I love both of those shows. So, if you like those shows too, then you'll definitely want to read this book.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Hell to Pay by Sherrilyn Kenyon is a fast-paced, darkly entertaining launch to a new urban fantasy series that blends humor, danger, and sizzling chemistry.From the moment Luke—Lucifer’s rebellious son—is shockingly banished from Hell, the story hooks you with its originality and wit. Kenyon excels at crafting a world where angels, demons, and humans collide, and Infernal Affairs provides the perfect backdrop for chaotic, supernatural crime-solving.The dynamic between Luke and Detective Sorcha O’Malley is a standout. Their banter is sharp, playful, and charged with tension, balancing Luke’s arrogant charm with Sorcha’s grounded strength. Supporting characters like Helly and Remi add depth and intrigue, making the ensemble just as compelling as the leads.What truly shines is Kenyon’s character development—Luke is more than a cocky antihero, and Sorcha’s resilience makes her easy to root for. The plot moves quickly, weaving together eerie cases, including a terrifying dire wolf and soul-stealing horrors, creating an immersive, can’t-put-it-down experience.A thrilling, witty, and addictive read.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I so enjoyed reading this first book in a new series by Sherrilyn Kenyon who is an author on my auto buy list. I thought the unique world building within a world we are already a part of is something that drew me in and shows great potential for future books. The characters had me laughing out loud and gave off the tv show Lucifer vibes to me. I loved the concept of Infernal Affairs, the mysteries needing solved, the slow burn of a possible romance between the main characters and the uniqueness of the crimes.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sherrilyn Kenyon launches her new Infernal Affairs series in Hell to Pay, a witty story filled with dark undertones and a whole lot of mystery!Lucian “Luke” Teivel, the favorite son of Satan, was exiled from Hell with no explanation. Luke was a complex character that spent a lot of time exploring his morality and life choices. Incredibly likable it was clear that succumbing to true evil was not natural to Luke and his struggles with good and evil were defining for his portrayal.Sorcha O’Malley battled her personal demons on a daily basis. Her integrity and loyalty stood out in the very grey scenario she found herself in as a paranormal detective. This character was someone that exuded depth and secrets, making her very interesting.The banter between Luke and Sorcha was fun to see and helped move this story along quickly. This couple's connection felt genuine and without pretense. The obvious attraction held at bay between Luke and Sorcha gave this work a nice bit of sizzle.A lot of this work felt like it was focused on developing Ms. Kenyon’s expansive storyscape. This story at times felt a little under done as Luke and Sorcha navigated their assignments, their mutual attraction and their personal issues in a fairly short space, but that is what sequels are for leaving the door open for more of these captivating characters. The secondary cast in this story were fabulous with lots of charisma that added a wonderful layer to this work and set the stage for future works in this series.Sherrilyn Kenyon has an extensive catalog of works that are beloved to her devoted fan base. Her rich imagination, depth filled morally and ethically ambiguous characters and snarky wit are her trademarks. The Infernal Affairs series shows a lot of promise as Ms. Kenyon ventures off into a new territory with Hell to Pay!*I was given an advanced copy. All opinions expressed are my own.*
