I'm excited to welcome Jessi Elliott to my blog to celebrate the release of The Devil’s Ruin (Love in Hell Book 3)! Keep reading to learn about the inspiration behind Jessi’s series, the journey to bringing this trilogy to a close, and what’s next for her!
About the Love in Hell Series
Discover what happens when a young woman from a family of demon hunters falls in love with the half-demon prince of hell in this spicy paranormal romance.
It's been five years since her sister was killed by a demon and Camille Morgan swore off the family business of demon hunting. Now a college sophomore, Cami is determined to get her degree and move far away from Seattle—and all things paranormal.
But when Cami becomes the target of a demon attack she’s convinced is a ploy by her parents to drag her back into training, the wildly charming and attractive Xander Kane comes to her rescue. Except her savior isn't a hunter. Or even human.
Xander is a demon, the alluring prince of hell, whose magnetic presence leaves Cami both captivated and conflicted, especially when she finds out he plans on using her to destroy the demon hunters once and for all.
Caught between her growing affection for Xander and her loyalty to her family, Cami struggles to make a decision that could shatter her and endanger the lives of those she loves.
The Devil’s Ruin is the third and final book in the Love in Hell series. Camille and Xander face their hardest battles yet, but not to worry, there’s still plenty of banter and spice along with the angst.
When you first began writing the Love in Hell series, did you always envision it as a trilogy?
Nope! Honestly, I had no idea what was going to happen after the end of the first book. When I sold it to my publisher, that’s when it was decided it would be a trilogy.
Without spoiling anything, what can readers expect from the final installment?
Chaos. There’s a lot of fun scenes but also dark and serious ones. The characters are tested over and over in what I hope is a satisfying tale of love and sacrifice. It’s a romance, though, so I promise there’s an HEA!
Which character was your favourite to write, and why?
Oooooh, probably Blake. He’s my wild child who gives zero fucks, and I absolutely adore him.
Was there a scene that surprised you while writing?
Not really. I outline pretty diligently, so by the time I’m writing, I know everything that’s going to happen and when. That said, there was a particular plot line that hit me in the outlining stage of the final book that was difficult but important to include. No spoilers, but it made me cry more than once.
If you could describe The Devil’s Ruin in 3 words, what would they be?
Devotion. Power. Sacrifice.
What was the biggest challenge in bringing this trilogy to its conclusion?
Tying up all the loose ends and saying goodbye to the characters in a way that is hopefully satisfying to readers
Now that the Love In Hell Series is complete, how does it feel to finally share the final installment with readers?
It’s bittersweet; Camille and Xander’s story is over, but they’ve been with me for over a decade, so moving on is a little uncomfortable, but I’m excited to start a new project!
What do you hope longtime readers feel when they turn the final page?
I want them to enjoy the journey and reach the final page feeling like the ending made sense for the characters.
What's next for you?
I’m working on a few different writing projects - a fantasy and a couple romances for my pen name, while also working on Royal City Romance Book Event things!
