What, oh what could a demon offer you for your future, for your damnation. What would be worth your soul, anothers, or the suffering of others to be fed and damned by your hand.

I didn't like Hell Bent when I first started reading it. However, as the story progressed, I became more and more immersed in the world. 

Hell Bent gives us a lot of background information on some of the key characters on their journey to save Darlington from hell. I love the found family trope in this book, especially the relationship that continued to develop between Dawes and Alex. Also, Bardugo made Alex’s roommates more relevant in the story, which was needed. 

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the introduction of

vampires

in this world; however, as I continued reading, they made much more sense to the point where I felt like they were necessary to the story. 

Also, I appreciate the magic system in these books, in general, because magic comes at a price. 

I wish Darlington were more present in Hell Bent, but I understand why Bardugo had to make him scarce. 

Overall, highly recommend it if you liked Ninth House!

Much faster paced than the first book! Loved that we got to know more about some characters that I really enjoyed from Ninth House. Looking forward to whenever the sequel comes out!
