Between The Pages - Damning The Dead

Damning The Dead 
Kerry Blaisdell 
January 2022 

Hyacinth Finch's life-after-death just got more complicated. High on her to-do list: Stop Satan from stealing any more of Archangel Michael's powerful relics, marshal her Dead Army of two thousand souls, and recapture dozens of escaped Hell Demons, to prevent six thousand dead Nazis from wreaking havoc in the world. And on top of all that, her onetime ghost boyfriend has hijacked the body of a former German militant, which has its ups and downs for their relationship. 

Then, just when things seem to be under control, her nephew Geordi's powers start leaking out, and Hyacinth's own begin to change. She must discover where their abilities originated. But as she digs deeper, will the truths she uncovers do more harm than good? And more importantly—can she figure it out, before Satan escapes from Hell and takes Geordi for himself? 

Between The Pages 
This book is action filled, fast moving, and a fun read. Hyacinth steps up and assumes the role of leader (not by choice) of armies of demons and dead, which brings out a lot of her determination and strength we haven’t seen in the previous two books. She’s a great lead character. And while she hasn’t chosen her hero yet as she’s still torn between Jason and Eric, I like both characters, but this book had me yelling at Hyacinth to pick Jason. Their chemistry sizzles on the pages. There is a large cast in this story and at times it’s difficult to remember who everyone is, but the read still flows smoothly. Two of my favourite characters are the Archangel Michael, who shows up in different attires, and of course Hyacinth’s nephew, Geordi, who steals every scene he is in. While the author leaves snippets of information of what took place in the previous two books, I recommend reading them in order to get completely immersed in the story. The ending was explosive and will leave you anxiously awaiting the next book.
