Read in one sitting, I couldn't stop!
I'm fully smitten with the characters here: Aria is strong willed and just goes for what she wants, the three demons are a mix of hesitant-but-willing, just gorgeously decadent, and wild beast, so the best of everything. Spice is so well done here, 5/5.
Can't wait to see what Cassiel the baby Lynx turns out to be...^^

I couldn't not immediately start this book after how book one ended. Yes I'm addicted to three Demons and a whatever Aria is. I'm excited to carry on this series to find out.
"But with Aria, I want more. I have her soul. Our sexual chemistry is hotter than an inferno, but I'm still unsatisfied. I want all of her,"
To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. Watch me fall further in love with Cain and Elias in book two than I was in book one. Dorian is still awesome but I feel like Aria is holding him off for a reason. I love all of them though.
We start book two with tensions high. I won't say too much, to not reveal spoilers but I'm thankful that what happened at the end of book one wasn't dragged out. It's not resolved but it's all good, I'm still sitting on the edge of my seat, because there is now a bigger set of problems for our three demon's and Aria have to solve.
To be honest tensions are high between everyone.
Aria and Cain.
Dorian and Cain.
Elias and the little fur-ball Lynx Aria rescued. Hell hound vs Kitty is hilarious!
Our main girl's emotions are tackled in this book. I finds out something from her beginning that just breaks my heart for her. This may be a paranormal romance, completely fiction but the emotions, the turmoil, all the feels are real.
"You wanted the monster," I whisper against her mouth, unable to deny the irresistible urge to fuck her senseless. I want to draw every kind of reaction out of her. "Here I am." I can't deal with Cain. I am just lost for words. In reverse harems I always fall for this kind of character.
When we think of Demon's, you think soulless and to be honest they are but we see them dealing with very human emotions and struggle with it and I LOVE IT! It's thrilling to read that war within themselves because you really don't know what they're going to do.
AND watching my girl Aria battling her own emotions between the three demon's as well is everything. Also what I love about her is that it's not in a whiny way. She is still strong and fierce and I love her for that.
Book three - I'm coming for you!

That ending
It’s about time that Cain starts acting right. I get he’s the prince and all but come on. It’s obvious how he feels. And poor Elias. He doesn’t know what to do.

The book starts right back where book 1 left off. Aria's demons try to save her from the clutches of her dragon kidnapper while also getting a hold of the stolen relics. They can't save both, and Aria is the priority, but the dragon is not willing of letting her go. In addition, now a prince of hell is also interested in her, and Aria needs to find out soon what she is. The book ends with a cliffhanger so be aware. I can't wait for book 3 to come out.

Hell in a Handbasket is the second installment in Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks’ Sin Demons series. Book two picks up where book one left off and continues forward with a well-paced beginning that keeps you on the edge of your seat as you read to find out what happens next. But things do slow down as Aria and the guys face a bit of a set back and then discover that they have other problems looming. Another threat is making itself known as Aria’s abilities and presence is no longer a “secret” and the three demons’ quest for the harp begins to come to the forefront. Add in their growing attraction to Aria and you have a good amount of drama ready to implode.
Hell in a Handbasket begins with a dragon and a scream. I was hooked from the start and eager to see where the authors were going to take the whole situation with Aria. It seems that Aria has been thrown out of the frying pan into the fire. Sir Surchion has kidnapped her and flown her out into the mountains and I could only guess what he had in mind to do with her. There is quite a bit going on with this book. The demons are frustrated with Aria’s disappearance and are on edge about what to do. They find themselves in a bit of a situation that only gets more complicated. There is the introduction of a strange new character that I’m curious to learn more about.
I have to say that adore the addition of a precious little furry critter that the authors write into this book. Because obviously we needed something cute and adorable to balance out the huge irritable ball of hellhound that thunder clouds around the mansion. LOL!
For those who enjoy the steamier elements of this reverse harem romance…there is so much steamy!! I love it! It’s well done without being overdone. There is build up in the right places, and there is even a couple of heart pumping chase scenes to grow the anticipation and excitement.
My only real issue with this book is…Aria. The authors are working to write her as spunky, sassy, spirited and smart, but she honestly comes off as dumb at times. She keeps thinking that if she can just “run and get away from the demons that she’ll be home free.” Is she really that dense? They own her soul. It’s been contracted to them, by someone else who wanted to save their own neck (not that that worked out well for them). Does she conveniently forget this or is she just THAT “naïve”? I get tired of her sticking to this “I think I’ll run” train of thought. Then…why doesn’t she say anything to the guys about the stranger in the backyard?
I am choosing to rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The pace starts out good in the beginning, but then it really slows down in comparison to the first book. I had hoped that Aria would have developed a bit of sense, but that hasn’t happened quite yet. I do like that things are developing beyond lust between the characters and are heading gradually into the romance department. Get ready for a cliffhanger with this book, not as intense as the first, but one still nonetheless. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book.

Oh my. I hope Cain isn't dead. What is she is still running through my mind. Also who was that person she thinks is an angel? So may questions.
