The Story:

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t retain much about this book. Ture (I think) was kidnapped with Nikerian’s mate (maybe) and Maris was involved in the rescue. They take a liking to each other. There is a lot of painful past and Maris has a current price on his head that causes a problem. This wasn’t a bad book. I just think I wasn’t in the headspace for it. I also think I should have read the book as the narrator's super soothing (and not distinct between characters) voice had me zoning out but I felt no need to go back on minutes missed.

This is a series I absolutely loved in the beginning and it pains me that I’ve grown apart from it. The library has the next book. Maybe I’ll give it a try soon to see if I’ve completely lost that loving feeling. Overall I was just kind of underwhelmed.

Welcome to the latest Deadmen’s Quest...

Valynda Moore was born cursed. So when she dies as the result of a spell gone wrong and is trapped in the body of a voodoo doll, she expects nothing else from her messed up life. Until Thorn, leader of the Hellchasers, offers her a chance at redemption and a new life. But nothing has ever gone her way, for the Malachai, the very beast she and her crew of Deadmen have sworn to keep locked away, has risen. And this time he’s taken prisoners. Valynda must keep her wits about her or be denied her salvation and forced to watch as the entire world falls into the hands of absolute evil. It’s a demon-eat-demon world where the stakes have never been higher and either redemption or the ultimate betrayal waits for her at Death’s Door.

I used to be a big Sherrilyn Kenyon fan but I’ve missed the past few books due to too many books to read!! I was really excited to get this book and, just like that, I dove right back in love with her world! I loved following Valynda and Malachai through their story. I loved meeting the rest of the Hellchasers. I now have to figure out where I left off in the series and catch up or start all over again. I can’t wait for the next book. I highly recommend.

As a result of a spell gone wrong, Valynda Moore died and became trapped in the body of a voodoo doll. She expected nothing else from her messed up life, until Thorn, leader of the Hellchasers, offers her chance at redemption and a new life. She and crew of Deadmen have sworn to keep the beast locked away, but the Malachai has risen and this time he’s taking not prisoners. It’s a demon-eat-demon world where the stakes have never been higher and either redemption or the ultimate betrayal waits for her At Death’s Door.

The final Deadmen’s Quest is an exhilarating, entertaining and adventurous read with a smorgasbord of wonderful, strong, charismatic characters that not only enthrall you with their story, they make readers feel as if they are taking part. The story has a forbidden romance that been happening for quite some time between Nibo (Death) and Vala, the chemistry between them is undeniable electrical but this romance has some major obstacles and emotional distress that will have to be conquered before they can reach for an HEA.

The plot is fast paced and never has a dull moment as one exciting event takes place after another from learning about the beginning of Nibo and Vala’s love to a major battle with the Malachai. For the most the story takes place on a ship that has a delightful variety of crew members and lots of witty dialogue that really makes the story pop and readers can’t help but become caught up in this epic, energetic and sometimes deadly adventure.
