ABOUT THE BOOK: November 26, 2018

Demon hunter Zenon lives with a dark secret. When he escaped Hell, he didn’t leave alone—and he’ll do anything to keep the shameful reason hidden. But when an intoxicating demi-demon, new to her powers, has him breaking all his own rules just to be near her, he knows he’s in serious trouble.

Painfully aware of being different, Mia Westbrook has always kept herself apart from others. Yet her new demon life comes with strings attached, namely one scarred and broodingly seductive knight who storms into her world—and her heart—and may just be her perfect match.

But a formidable evil has been watching, and is determined to tear them apart. They want Zenon back in Hell, with them, where he belongs…

REVIEW: KNIGHT’S SALVATION is the second instalment in Sherilee Gray’s contemporary, adult KNIGHTS OF HELL erotic, paranormal romance series focusing on a group of demon hunters known as the Knights of Hell, warriors whose birth was ordained by the mating of angels and demons. These ‘Knights’ hunt the demons who make life a living h*ll on earth for everyone involved. This is demon hunter Zenon, and demi-demon Mia Westbrook’s story line. KNIGHT’S SALVATION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: KNIGHT’S SALVATION may contain triggers for more sensitive readers due to the nature of the story line content.

Told from several third person points of view including Zenon and Mia KNIGHT’S SALVATION follows demon hunter Zenon as he struggles with his attraction to demi-demon Mia Westbrook. Mia knows she is a half-human, half-demon hybrid; and with it comes immense power that is oft-times unstable, without the ability to control. Knowing she is expected to live and train with the Knights of Hell, Mia is shocked when her attraction to demon hunter Zenon causes all kinds of problems for our story line hero. What ensues is the acrimonious relationship between Mia and Zenon, and the potential fall-out as Zenon’s time on earth has an end date when Zenon is forced back into hell.

Zenon is unlike the other hunters. Our hero is a hell-born demon hunter; more demon than angel, and thusly his life is all about chaos, power and control. Broken and scarred, Zenon struggles with his attraction to Mia, a woman he knows to be his fated mate. With needs beyond that which he can control, Zenon is willing to sacrifice himself to save the woman with whom he is falling in love. Mia Westbrook has always known she is the product of a human and demon mating but her powers are growing beyond that which she is able to control, powers that attract the pure-bred demons. Hoping to live a life as normal as possible, Mia battles her attraction to, and hatred for the man that continues to break her heart.

The relationship between Zenon and Mia is contemptuous at best. Zenon refuses to accept Mia as his mate but he is unwilling to let go knowing his beast is but a heartbeat from breaking free and destroying it all. The push and pull, back and forth, up and down of Zenon’s emotions is overwhelming and constant. Ashamed and humiliated about his life and what he must endure, Zenon continues to push Mia at every encounter. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the reappearance of Lazarus and Eve (Knight’s Redemption #1), Knights of Hell leader Chaos, James, Gunner, Kryos and his mate Meredith, and Rocco; as well as Silas-the angel who trains and watches over the Knights. The requisite evil has many faces.

KNIGHT’S SALVATION is a story of heartbreak, endurance, struggle and pain. The premise is engaging, emotional and disturbing; the characters are colorful, dynamic and dangerous; the romance is hot and heavy. KNIGHT’S SALVATION is also a familiar story line in that the male lead, and the struggles he has had to, and continues to endure are intensely recognizable and similar to another author’s well-known, broken, vampire warrior hero. From the name similarities (Z). same physical attributes and manifestations, tattoos and scars, to the background history and suffering, Zenon’s resemblance to said broken vampire are too numerous to ignore.
