Product Description
In Jackie Kessler's debut novel Hell's Belles, she introduced readers to Jesse Harris, a succubus-turned-human with a tart tongue, a way with a g-string, and a soft spot for sexy undercover cop Paul Hamilton. Now Jesse's back, and where she goes, Hell is sure to follow... There's Nothing Worse Than A Demon With A Grudge Jesse may no longer be a soul-stealing succubus, but she's got a Hell of a past. She'd love to come clean to her sweet, super-hot boyfriend Paul, but how exactly does a girl start that conversation? There's no name tag that reads: "I Used to Have Sex with Men before Taking Their Souls to the Lake of Fire--Ask Me How!" Just like some people are worth being monogamous for (shudder), some secrets are worth keeping. Like the fact that bad boy incubus Daunuan keeps popping up from the Underworld to put some toe-curling moves on her; that her former associates are trying to strong-arm her back into the fold; and that every supernatural entity on the planet seems to want to have a conversation with her in the bathroom. But someone in the Underworld isn't ready to play nice (go figure), and this time, the stakes are nothing less than Paul's immortal soul. If Hell wants Jesse back so badly, they've got her. But payback's a bitch, and this bitch is about to rock Hell like a hurricane--or lose her soul trying...

my favorite November 18, 2008
This is my favorite of the series. I actually feel like I have traveled to hell and watched this story take place. It was a very memorable journey.
The Road to Hell September 16, 2008
Jesse Harris, former soul-stealing succubus, current exotic dancer; living with her cop-boyfriend Paul, who does not suspect her former `life', just wants to live and enjoy her life. Admittedly, she would like to have a clean slate with Paul, but how do you tell the one you are with that you used to have sex with men, then steal their souls? And you liked it. You just could not take the workplace anymore.
Now Jesse's former co-worker, the incubus Daunuan, keeps showing up in her life. Pushing all the buttons he knows so well. He has brought some other of her former `friends' with him and they just won't leave her or Paul alone. In fact, they want to have a soul-stealing (Paul's soul-, that is) good time.
The Road to Hell is a hell of a good time. Ms. Kessler has written a strong character in Jesse. Jesse knows who she is, where she wants to go and what she is willing to do to get there. Additionally, the reader is drawn into the interplay between all the diverse personalities. The descriptions of Hell and where Hell is headed are perfect. The reader is left satisfied and yet wanting more.

an absolute score for Ms. Kessler! July 20, 2008
Ex-demon succubus-turned-mortal, Jezebel (aka Jesse Harris), is relishing the perks of her new life. She's got a brand-spanking new soul, still dancing as an exotic dancer, and last, but definitely not least, her own personal White Knight, Paul Hamilton - the ubersexy love of her life.
After Jesse decided to give up on Hell and all of its luxury amenities - who can forget the Lake of Fire, roasting eyeballs over the campfires (tasty), and that wonderful aroma of sulfur and brimstone (ah, reminds me of home), all Jesse wants to do is live out her mortal life. Is that too much for one girl to ask? And what is it with all the demons accosting her in the bathroom? Sheesh, a girl can't even get a bit of privacy anymore.
But Hell is now under new management, and He is still smarting after Jesse turned her back on Hell. He's decided that Jesse needs to be made an example of and means to bring her back - no matter the cost! So now Jesse's caught between having to fight off her ex-demon lover who keeps trying to tempt her back into Hell (and hooboy, can he ever do some tempting)and trying to survive the murderous psycho demon, Lilith. But when the demon's all fail in luring Jesse back into the fold, they go after the one thing that really matters to her - Paul.
This second addition to the wonderful Hell on Earth series is an absolute score for Ms. Kessler! Her writing keeps you pinned to your seat with a book you're unable to put down. And while following Jesse through the mundane mortal life is entertaining enough, it's when she goes back to Hell that the real fun begins. It's a wonderful supernatural mixture of wit, romance, and some very hot (no pun intended) scenes. I can honestly say I loved this book and eagerly await the next in the series.

Sizzling--a must read for all urban fantasy fans! June 25, 2008
Kessler does it again, only better! If you liked HELL'S BELLES, you'll love THE ROAD TO HELL. And if you think Laurell K. Hamilton is sexy...she's got nothin' on Jackie Kessler.
Hang in there, folks--something tells me that Hell is just gonna get hotter.
Red Hot Sequel May 22, 2008

Loved the first book, "Hell's Belles", and this sequel is just as magnificent as Book 1. Former succubus, Jesse, is just starting to settle into the mortal life when her friends from the Pit come a knocking for a reunion.
The story is very good but what really drives this tale is what made the first book such a sinful pleasure: the characters and the dialogue. Kessler has created a host of captivating characters and enriches them with scrumptious and witty banter that will make fans of "Buffy: TVS" or the "Juno" movie feel right at home. Plus, Jesse is a wonderful leading lady. There's no way you can resist the charms of that seducer with a soul.
Funny, sexy and exciting is "The Road To Hell". Jackie Kessler is a goddess and this book needs to be in your shopping cart right now.
