Toss out your preconceived notions of Hell. I’m not saying it’s the greatest place to live, but those evil demons have feelings, too. They love, they can be loyal and even show some kindness and mercy, sometimes. Welcome to Mahalia Levey’s version of Hell and demons, love and sacrifice with Demonic Persuasion. With a blend of ancient Navajo customs and beliefs and the denizens of Hell, you are about to embark on a raw and gritty trip where explicit and brutal sex runs rampant, tension runs high and it isn’t just in Hell. If you are squeamish about lots of sex or whip lashing, you might want to turn back, if not…settle in.Fatal is half-demon, half Navajo, growing up with her Navajo grandfather, but she is grown and it’s time for her to choose her future, the unknown of life with demons or the many unkindnesses bestowed on her lonely life by the Navajo. She chooses to be as independent as possible as her demon family try to welcome her in their own way. Enter Orobus, a lower level Prince of Hell, cocky, self-assured and determined to win Fatal’s trust and heart, no matter the price he pays for her insolence and lack of knowledge of the demon way.Is Fatal worth the pain Orobus endures? Will her independent stubbornness prove her downfall? They have chemistry, but is it limited to sexual chemistry or will they find something more? Can a lifetime of cruelty be overcome through love?Mahalia Levey does not shy away from “in-your-face” scenes, action and romance in the world of demons she has created. She has, however given their range of emotions a careful remake. They are still brutal and vicious, but do they actually go through life doing many of the same things humans do? As intriguing and fascinating as this take on the demonic realm is, the fast pace and constant action make it even better. I found I didn't need to like the characters all of the time to be invested in their tale. Personally, I could have had a little less graphic violence and sex, but overall, I think this is going to be a series that will captivate!
