ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 28, 2021

Rocco thought he knew pain and sacrifice… until demons dragged his female to the depths of Hell. Knowing he failed to protect her — and that her fate is in the hands of pure evil — is driving him to madness. With time running out, he’ll do anything to bring her home; even embrace the unrelenting inner darkness he’s fought his entire life.

Each day Kyler prays for death but there is no mercy in Hell. Lucifer’s twisted son Diemos controls her every waking hour, waiting for her dormant powers to finally unleash so he can use them himself. Sweet dreams of Rocco are her only escape — but only in her wildest fantasies did she imagine him walking through the fires of Hell to save her.

Now Diemos will stop at nothing to get Kyler back. A brutal war is coming, and to survive, everyone will have to fight. Win or die — there is no second chance for the Knights and their mates.

•••••

REVIEW:KNIGHT’S RETRIBUTION is the sixth instalment in Sherilee Gray’s contemporary, adult KNIGHTS OF HELL erotic, dystopian, paranormal/fantasy 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. This is half-angel/half-demon Rocco, and Demi-demon Kyler’s story line. KNIGHT’S RETRIBUTION can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order as their is an ongoing premise throughout.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Rocco and Kyler) KNIGHT’S RETRIBUTION focuses on the rescue and recovery of Rocco’s mate Kyler, Knight of Hell Tobias and Tobias’ mate Scarlett. Rocco’s mate had been abducted and held prisoner in H*ll by Lucifer’s son Diemos. Diemos had fallen for our story line heroine but his methods of control are dangerous and abusive. Believing herself broken, Kyler struggles with her freedom and recovery following Rocco’s rescue, but Diemos isn’t one to give up, and the Knights of Hell, along with their mates, prepare for a war they had never wanted to fight. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Rocco and Kyler, and the potential fall-out as the Knights must face the prince of the Underworld in an effort to save the women they love.

Kyler has been broken by Lucifer’s son. She relives the abuse and torture on a daily basis, the PTSD affecting her relationship with the man that she loves but Kyler has yet to come into her powers, powers that can be used when the Knights and their mates face down Diemos and his demons from H*ll. Rocco has been desperate to rescue his mate but as a half-angel Rocco is unable to pass through the gates of H*ll. In an effort to bring home the woman he loves, Rocco must remove the mark of his angel, and face down the brother he once thought was lost.

The relationship between Rocco and Kyler is one of fated love. Rocco knows Kyler is his intended/fated mate but Kyler has yet to come into her powers, powers that will have to be forced in order for our heroine to protect herself against future harm. Kyler abuse at the hands of Lucifer’s son has left our heroine with issues of trust, and in this, she struggles to accept the man who has promised to guard and protect her with all of his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples as well as Lucifer and his handmaiden Roxy; Diemos; Knight of Hell Silas, and witch Willow.

KNIGHT’S RETRIBUTION is a story of power and abuse, obsession and control, family, relationships, friendships and love. The fast paced and action packed premise is edgy, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and captivating; the characters are spirited and impassioned-the heroines are strong,tenacious and enthusiastic. KNIGHT’S RETRIBUTION is an imaginative and moving addition to the Knights of H*ll series.
