With every circle, hell is getting hotter…
Ciera and her three companions are travelling further into the nine circles, more determined than ever before. But it isn’t just demons and trials they have to worry about, the Devil has set his eye on Ciera and is doing everything possible to stop her succeeding.
She’s determined not to let him, and with her men by her side, and her new talents … new talents emerging, there’s nothing Ciera can’t do. But there’s always a price to pay in hell….
A reverse harem based on Dante’s Inferno, but with a kickass heroine instead of a lovesick old poet. Book two of the Infernal Descent series.

Oh, wow, Ms. MacKinnon did it again! She completely wowed me with the way she took this story. My jaw dropped several times from her revelations. The prologue was so sad and when I got to the last page I wanted more.
This is the second book in the series and you must read Book 1 to understand this one.
Ciera continues through the levels of hell and each level down is worse than the last. The descriptions of each level brought me into the story with Ciera and her men.
I received an ARC from the author. This is my honest review.
Bea and Skye did a fabulous job with this sequel to their Dante’s Inferno reimagined story, Hell’s Calling! Bea and Skye did amazing world building in Book 1 and they really focused on building the relationships between Ciera and her 3 delicious men, which I wholeheartedly enjoyed. In this part of the series, we get to see Ciera kick more butt with her archery skills, see her walls come down (along with some of the guys), introduced to new side characters that are sometimes fun and sometimes sooooo bad hahaha.
I was blown away from the prologue alone, it kinda hits you in the gut when you realize what’s going on, but it makes for a more intense and amazing story. I didn’t see all the twists coming in this story which was a nice change of pace to some stories recently that you could see what was going to happen way in advance. I will say I was head over heels for Ceb in Book 1 and liked Maro too. I could care less about Plutus in Book 1, buuuuuut Bea and Skye really changed my mind. I liked seeing the different sides to the guys and the cave scene….. *fans self*. Also liked the tension that was created with everyone the farther into hell they went (esp. the light situation with Maro and how that was resolved).
I can’t wait to meet Lucifer and see how Ciera handles him. I think Bea and Skye nailed the darker parts of this story, taking some notes from Dante himself. The trees man, those things hit me in the feels (not the best thing while reading it on a plane with my coworker right next to me haha). I will say there were some British phrases I was completely clueless about and had to ask Google/ask some Brits to help me out haha. All in all, create follow up to Book 1 and here’s to hoping Book 3 is in our near future
The prologue was absolutely incredible, between the revelation and the new POV introduced, it completely engulfed me into this book!
Chapter one picks up right where Hell’s Calling left off. This still has the same fast paced and is still introducing new creatures and characters.
I absolutely am on the edge of my seat for the installment.
