The hotly anticipated sequel to HELL FOR HIRE! 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.
-Book 2 of a new, action-packed Urban Fantasy series from the author of NICE DRAGONS FINISH LAST and MINIMUM-WAGE MAGIC!

Historia
A hulked-out wrath demon who eats gamer rage and loves cats, a shapeshifting lust demon who enjoys their food a bit too much, and a void demon who doesn’t see the point of any of this. They’re not the sort of mercenaries you'd hire on purpose, but Bex wouldn’t trust her life to anyone else. Ever since the ancient Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh decided death wasn’t for him, killed the gods, and conquered the afterlife, times have been rough for a free demon.

In the world’s most magical metropolis where spirits run noodle shops and cash-strapped dragons stage photo-ops for tourists, people still think fairies are nothing but stories, and that’s exactly how the fairies like it. It’s a lot easier to feast on humanity’s dreams when no one believes you exist. But while this arrangement works splendidly for most fair folk, Lola isn’t one of the lucky ones.

Historia
Kit McCafferty's life is quiet, unremarkable, and filled with cat hair. In the magical city of Coldstream, located on the border between Scotland and England, Kit is viewed as little more than mildly eccentric and mostly harmless. She passes her days caring for her family of five cats, feeding the local feral moggies, and maintaining relatively good relations with her neighbors. All that changes, however, when a teenage werewolf shows up at her door in the desperate hope of renting out a nearby vacant flat.

I can turn into a housecat. It’s a fun magic, except in a world filled with vampires and werewolves, it doesn’t exactly make me a powerhouse. Instead, the supernatural community has classified me as an outcast, which means one thing: picking on me is open season all day, every day. The local fae are the worst of all, and it’s during one of their regular “capture the cat-girl” sessions that I shift into my cat form and meet HIM for the first time.

As a C-Tier Lifeblade, Ethan keeps his head down, works hard, and always hits his mark. His skills might not be flashy, but they get the job done—and in SlayerCorp's cutthroat portal acquisitions industry, reliability makes you valuable. He’s built a solid rep as the go-to healer who can hold his own in any situation, with a resume that's earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. But Ethan's biggest challenge isn’t in the dungeons he clears or the creatures he fights. It’s Lily Chen.

Nyx was born Hollow. An empty vessel in a world of spirits. Normally, that was a death sentence, yet somehow he survived. He's always been stubborn like that. He's also always been a bit crazy. Which is why, in another life, he did something reckless. He sent himself a message—his memories. Threw them into the Flow from which all spirits return. Besides, Nyx believed in asking hard questions. Like, was reincarnation real?

Daisy Carter knows she's not anyone special. She might be brave and resourceful. She might possess a touch more magic than your average low elf. But, when it comes down to it, she's just another delivery driver trying to make a living. Admittedly, life would be easier without her addiction to a dangerous drug called spider's silk—but she's got her reasons for that. Nobody's perfect. However, Daisy's world changes when she crosses paths with Hugo Pemberville, the celebrated high elf who's well known for being an accomplished treasure hunter.

The DFZ, the metropolis formerly known as Detroit, is the world’s most magical city with a population of nine million and zero public safety laws. That’s a lot of mages, cybernetically enhanced chrome heads, and mythical beasties who die, get into debt, and otherwise fail to pay their rent. When they can’t pay their bills, their stuff gets sold to the highest bidder. That’s when they call me. I’m a Cleaner: a freelance mage employed by the DFZ to sort through the mountains of magical junk people leave behind. It’s not a pretty job, or a safe one....

Quinn can barely handle her own life. When the Library of Everywhere discovers her compatible magical signature, suddenly, she is the sole existing potential librarian. Now, it's not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the library system before the universe itself disintegrates. Once she's settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work—just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no librarian for the last several centuries.

In October of 2013, Drew Hayes began posting a story to his website. Written over the thirteen days leading up to Halloween, when each chapter ended the next step was chosen by the readers. Sometimes this led to great discoveries and triumphs, other paths led to Dead Ends, though even in those there was much to be gleaned. For ten years, this tradition occurred, until in the year of 2022, the readers chose a finale. This is their story: a tale of deaths and decisions that spanned a decade.

It’s not easy serving Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie. Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic.

Healer Anja regularly drinks poison. Not to die, but to save—seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on. But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja’s unorthodox methods can save her. Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat, and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow, but nothing seems to work. That is, until she finds a secret world, hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick. Or it might be the thing that kills them all.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

A hulked-out wrath demon who eats gamer rage and loves cats, a shapeshifting lust demon who enjoys their food a bit too much, and a void demon who doesn’t see the point of any of this. They’re not the sort of mercenaries you'd hire on purpose, but Bex wouldn’t trust her life to anyone else. Ever since the ancient Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh decided death wasn’t for him, killed the gods, and conquered the afterlife, times have been rough for a free demon.

None are things that can be safely left unsecured, and some have the potential to do almost as much damage as Titania did, and having them in the wrong hands could prove just as disastrous

Hungry darkness, haunted guns, tunnels that move like snakes—the crystal mines of Medicine Rocks, Montana, are a place only the bravest and greediest dare. Discovered in 1866, the miraculous rock known as crystal quickly rose to become the most expensive substance on the planet, driving thousands to break the treaties and invade the sacred buffalo lands of the Sioux. But mining crystal risks more than an arrow in the chest. The beautiful rock has a voice of its own. A voice that twists minds and calls unnatural powers. A voice that turns men into monsters.

A Witch and Some Demons Walk into a Market...
Hell of a Witch, the second book of the Tear Down Heaven series, picks up a month after the event in Hell for Hire. It has a slow burn romance, underdog fight against the big bad and a found family that is amazing. The Queen of Wrath is out to thwart the Princes of Heaven and while you might think we would be on the Prince’s side we definitely are not since they, and their master, took over heaven millennia ago and our Heroine is trying to save her people, rescue her sisters and take down the wizard that tore down heaven.
Bex, Demon Queen of Wrath, finally has enough allies to try and do something big in the resistance against Gilgamesh. Adrian has come up with a plan to deal a devastating blow to the all powerful wizard. With some of the coolest witchy tricks I’ve read about, he and Bex sneak into the heart of enemy territory to see what they can learn about one of the anchors to Heaven. However, when things don’t go quite right it puts a huge strain on their budding relationship. Bex must make some difficult choices between being a Queen and head of a rebellion or the personal wants she has in her life. It doesn’t help that her ring/sword, Drox, is talking in her head and only cares about fighting.
Rachel Aaron has come up with a fantastically interesting and original world, with a extraordinary backstory. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite like this and love the world that she has created. Hell of a Witch is more action packed and faster paced than Hell for Hire and also sprinkles in more worldbuilding and backstory to flesh out the characters and the world. I enjoyed how the reader is fed some of the information and shown some of the concepts that help make this story feel like a real place. Bex and Adrian both shine in this book, but Adrian stole the show a little with his potential parentage reveal and new dealings with a pretty powerful crow.
I love found families and Bex has a great one with the core group of demons who follow her. Nemini, a void demon, is hilarious to me when she is one the page. Her quips and dialogue remind me of the sad robot in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Having a lust demon and a war demon on your side doesn’t hurt either. They didn’t quite as much page time as Adrian and his feline familiar were the stars of the book. But they brought some good comic relief and badass fighting skills to the story.
Overall this is an entertaining a easy read and great for when you want a slow burn romance and a fight against all the odds.
“But I’m happy to hear you say we’re friends. I was worried you only stuck with me out of pity.”
Nemini looked as close to insulted as Bex had ever seen. “How could you doubt? We value each other’s well being despite knowing that life is meaningless and everything will well end. There is no name for that folly other than friendship.”
Narration
Nicholas Cain is a solid narrator. He captured Adrian and Bex well in the story and I was able to distinguish the other characters well throughout. His voice worked for an unusual witch of the body and he added some mystical charm to Adrian’s character. I was able to listen at my usual 1.5x speed.

Little rough around the edges
The storyline was good but a few too many over used plot lines. Hex’s dialogues with self and ring was way too much. Not saying that some of it needed to happen.
The final battle dialogue was long then the battle. That just my opinion.
Already wanting the next book.

Much Anticipated and Over Too Soon!
I waited what felt like so very long (thank goodness it wasn’t actually long at all, but I’d still love for the next book to come out even more quickly) for book 2 in Aaron’s Tear Down Heaven series to be released. I haven’t been this excited since waiting with bated breath for each release in her too short D.F.Z. series.
I started reading and listening as soon as “Hell of a Witch” was released, bought, and downloaded. However, I actively fought to slow my pace to try to draw out my enjoyment a bit because otherwise I would have finished it in a single day. I enjoyed the continued world development, and was ultimately happy with where this book eventually left us to await the next chapter. The character development, while suffering from growing pains, felt realistic because of those very pains, and certainly opened up limitless possibilities for very good things going forward in the series. I eagerly await seeing what comes next. Book three, please!
For those who want an even more verbosely detailed review:
However, with that being said, I must say that I did cringe quite a bit at a great deal of the angst the main characters went through, but it had to happen. Aaron is very adept at making her characters go through things that people actually go through and then grow through, and this happened a lot in this book. I knew from the beginning where some of the stories were heading, and that the MCs would need to deal with very specific downturns and pitfalls that nearly every story with similar characters and elements contains. Love between two hopeless young underdogs out to buck the system (especially if one of them is a martyr in an infinite loop that only the other one can reboot)? Oh yeah, they have to stubbornly pick each other despite pointed pushback from authority figures. Naturally, they have to get burned for that choice somehow, too. Of course what ensues thereafter includes annoying the absolute mess out of me, the jaded reader. However, being extremely annoyed with the choices of the characters was a part of the immersion, as it was supposed to be. Thankfully, like the worst parts of puberty, the angst was necessary and now I very much hope it is entirely behind us.
The only exceptions that give me pause (and it’s very nearly a full stop, unfortunately) are the relationships of the Blades with the Princes. That was left wide open, raw, and festering, and I’m very much hoping it doesn’t get anymore cringe-worthy. It was weird and icky in book 1, and intensely and uncomfortably creepy and horrible in this one; I really hope it doesn’t get worse and the emphasis on them as a whole fades away, as I’m not a fan of that element of the story that feels somewhere between extreme domestic violence, deep demonic horror, and cult brainwashing. The chord it strikes simply doesn’t match the emotional and mental level of the rest of the book; I hope the dissonance resolves. Overall, I cannot wait for the next book!
For the listeners, audiophiles, and other ADHD squirrel-chasers:
Just after midnight on the planned release date for Hell of a Witch, to my profound delight, I found that the Kindle version had indeed dropped at the same time as the Audible version. Ah, sweet bliss! Both formats being released simultaneously is extremely vital for me because I must listen while I read along due to my poor vision. The narration is also good, and aids immersion for those of us with ADHD who are a bit too quick to wander off mentally at every perceived squirrel. I didn’t even wait for the Whispersync process to be completed, so I forfeited the hefty Audible discount and the automatic scrolling when using audio in the Kindle app. Instead, I just used both apps at once and did it manually like I used to need to do every time ages ago, but often don’t need to now as more books become properly Whisper synced. It was totally worth it!

Time to raise hell- Bex embraces her wrath
“You’re going at this awfully hard for someone with no horns in the game.”
Okay, with book two, I’m definitely all in on the series. Yeah, the romance is a little too teenage squee … but I suppose I can run with it given Bex’s absence of memory for her past lives. It’s a unique way to make her a powerful Queen of Wrath … and also a vulnerable young girl drowning in destiny.
“Never doubt the power of a forest.”
I’m loving the witch/demon dynamic; each takes a fresh approach to magic and world building.
I’m not sure I understand the whole Prince and Princess dynamic, like, how come the Princesses are slaves and yet so immensely powerful? And the idea of Gilgamesh the human capturing the kingdom of heaven? And, we’ve got humans, demons, witches and warlocks … but what of angels? I have questions.
But, I was so entertained that I’m fine waiting for answers in future books.

Original world-building!
I've loved Rachel Aaron's work since I first read her Eli Monpress series. As much as I enjoy her Nice Dragons and Minimum-Wage Magic series set in an alternate Detroit, this one is my new fave. I've never read much about Babylonian and Sumerian mythology beyond learning about Ishtar, but I plan to remedy that. Aaron's blending of characters from millennia
l-ancient myths (Ishtar, Gilgamesh, assorted demons) with witches and sorcerers of different traditions shouldn't work, but it does, and brilliantly! Hell of a Witch is so much more than the second book in a series--instead of being a bridge or placeholder, the plot went in myriad directions, yet all the strands flowed back together. Simply loving these characters from The Queen of Wrath, Bex, to her crew of Lyss, Nimini, and Iggs (sorry about the spelling, audiobook); to Adrian Blackwood and Boston, his familiar & my favorite cat in urban fantasy since Mister, Harry Dresden's very large feline. And I didn't expect the Celtic Goddess of War & Death to make an appearance, but thrilled she did. After listening, I might reread Demon for Hire, book one, because I missed a lot of the symbolism, metaphors, and psychological depth of Bex, a female character who never feels worthy and is laden with guilt. Watching her grow is half the fun. This is my favorite series of 2024.

Great all around
Extremely funny while also having great plot and tension. I liked the minor sound effects, like characters talking on the phone sounding like it.
