Blurb:

Trapped.

He fell through the gate to Hell to save my life.

Beelzebub, the Lord of Gluttony, is no longer his own. He’s been mine ever since he caught me singing to myself, falling prey to the magic of my song. If I can keep my distance, we can both move on.

But now, he is caught under my spell, which makes him forbidden to touch. And yet, he is the only one I can trust to get me back to Crystal Hollow.

We’ll have to make it through the Nine Circles of Hell first.

No matter what we lose along the way.

My thoughts:

The Damned is such a strong installment that I loved every chapter of it.

It started slow with a wonderful callback to The Cursed and character building for Margot and Beelzebub.

After that gradual lead-up, all hell breaks loose, and our characters are thrown into literal hell.

They have to venture through all nine circles of hell, and I loved the challenges for each one that were made and what obstacles she had to tackle to navigate through them.

I loved how badass Margot's character is and how she deals with her trauma while Beelzebub was there for her every step of the way, navigating patiently. It's safe to say that the tension, connection, and spark between them are wonderfully made, and how they learned more about each other moving through every circle was heartwarming to witness.

The cliffhanger that is the end of the book was so unfair because I now have to wait for the next book😂
