I would have givenHell's Revengea 5 out of 5 if there was not the following serious faults.  I enjoyed the stories, which is why I bought all three, however the faults made me drop 2 stars.The serious fault with all of them is that everything happens in a very short amount of time and there is always a quick result.There is very little character development and the plot for all of the books is "something bad happens, Muriel has lots of sex, Muriel gets mad, gets a new sex partner, has more sex, Muriel defeats the baddy in a few pages".Muriel has 2 men in her life, she's just found out she's pregnant, her mum turns up and she's kissing a third man?  I know her magic is sex based but hello - mum and pregnancy should at least get a few more pages of writing.  Even when she goes to find out if she is pregnant and is told "your child can destroy the world", she spends more time discussing sex then about the baby.In each book there was something she was dead against in the bedroom and within a day of saying I won't do it, she's doing it.  At least spend a little bit of time thinking or fighting against it.  I know she's the princess of hell and should be bad, but we keep being told she's stubborn yet she gives in each time within one to two days every time in every book.There are her men, handsome and sexy and faced with a third man entering the mix, they end up best buddies - where's the jealousy, showing why they can become friends, etc etc.  It's tossed off in a line or two after only a few pages setting the scene.Then we have the big bad for this book - her baby is taken from her, she nearly dies, she has a foursome and tada, daughter back, baddy beaten, all again in a few pages.The sex scenes is this book are very hot but come on, the author comes up with some great ideas but toss off the conclusion in so little time.With a bit more effort telling us more about the characters and a bit more time on the story line, this author would be a 6 out of 5, not the 3 out of 5 I gave her.
