Hell of a Witch

Book 2 of Tear Down Heaven

Click here for Book 1 of this dual-protagonist series.

One month ago, Bex, the demon Queen of Wrath, and Adrian, witch of the Blackwood, pulled off the upset victory of the century. Now, they find themselves facing the question all unexpected champions must answer: what next? They’ve declared war on Heaven, but how do you actually bring down a divinely powerful tyrant when your army’s still in the single digits and your magical fortress is an illegally modified Winnebago?

It seems like a hopeless situation. As always, though, Adrian Blackwood has a plan, and this time, he’s going big. He’s got an idea to take down the Seattle Anchor, the giant magical fortress that houses the Anchor Market and every other bit of critical infrastructure that connects Heaven to Earth.

How the Anchors work is a closely guarded secret, and getting to the good stuff will require going deep into the heart of Gilgamesh’s power. There’s a reason even the Queen of Wrath has never attacked one directly, but now that Adrian’s on her team, Bex thinks they can do it. She’s finally got the power she needs to actually move the needle on this war, and she’s going to hit that Anchor with all the fire she’s got.

But the enemies of Heaven aren’t the only ones making plans. After the fiery return of his most persistent annoyance, Gilgamesh has ordered his princes to take care of the demon queen problem personally. It’s time to roll out the big guns and show these rebels what divine wrath really means, starting with the Hell of a Witch who made it all possible. 

"With Hell For Hire instantly becoming one of my top favourite reads of the year, Hell of a Witch had big shoes to fill. But even going in with almost unfairly high expectations, I was totally not ready for what Rachel Aaron had in store in this sequel. Even though the story picks up about a month after the bombastic ending of Hell For Hire, it took me only about one page to be completely sucked back into the chaotic lives of my favourite wayward gardening witch and the endearing crew of loveable demons."
