“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.” —Buddha

Hellfire and Brimstone is the final installment in the Reaper Inc series, and while I will mourn the loss of adventures in Limbo City I respect Roquet for sticking with a well balanced story arc and ending the series on a high note. Everything was tied up nicely.

This book delves deeper into the happenings prior to the series start, opening old wounds and causing Lana to question everything that she has known. She doubts that she will have the strength to see everything through, but in the end she kicks demon booty (of course!).

Often times I find that authors drag on the story to keep a good thing going, and it seems rare that authors have a decided story arc. I was just as engaged with the series in Hellfire and Brimstone as I was with Graveyard Shift. Each installment of the series delves deeper into the characters, their relationships, and the impending war in Eternity.

I received an Author Review Copy of this book in return for an honest review, so here it is.

Once again I enjoyed reading this one. The author has managed to maintain her usual high standards in the telling of what, to my disappointment, turned out to be the final book in the series. Loose ends have been tied up, and the tale does come to a natural, or should that be supernatural, end.

I may wish it would continue, but it is better that it ends on a high note, with readers clamouring for more than that it fizzled out, losing the readers' interest after the eighth or ninth book in a continuing series was published.

As a final thought, I'll just say that I've really enjoyed reading the whole series, and will probably go back to the first and re-read them all again.
