FREE READ

Hell Cursed is a free read from Erica Hayes.

Tricked. Cursed. Damned.
Headstrong ex-convent girl Jade has renounced the church that tried to curb her independence. Now, she travels the world, seeking adventure and the pleasures of forbidden ritual.


But she's tricked by a treacherous sorcerer, and forced into a darker kind of slavery. She's a succubus, with a powerful demon lord her master for a thousand years. 

At least, that's what he thinks. Jade accepts no man's domination, least of all a demon's. She's determined to thwart her fate.


But she's yet to discover the true meaning of demon thrall...






REVIEWS

Queen of All She Reads has given Erica Hayes's latest book, Redemption, a 4/5 Crown rating!
"Continuing her extensive world building, Ms. Hayes gives us two somewhat doomed would be lovers, whose path to peace is fraught with guilt, blood and violence.  While I'm not sure I'd call them likable characters, they do none the less grab your attention and garner your sympathy."

And Happy Tails & Tales Blog has given 5/5 Paws for their read of Redemption.
"I will stand by my statement that these angels scare the crap outta me! However, they are oh so bad which is oh so good! LOL Things pick right back up in the second book from where one finished, and things are getting all crazy. And way to add a sort of Romeo and Juliet type theme to this as well. Literal enemies supposed to kill each other falling in love. It’s a blast!"


REVIEWS

And, just for good measure, Erica Hayes is on a blog tour to promote Redemption. There are lots of interviews, guest posts and giveaways happening at the moment!
