About this book
Even the most powerful love can't save a condemned soul.
Pain is an abyss. How naive of me to think I’d already reached the very depths of it when fate shook my world with a crushing blow. It turns out there are fathomless levels of pain, like a winding labyrinth of doors leading to shadowy figures and long-forgotten secrets. The kind of inescapable descent into madness that twists nightmares into reality.
What lies at the end of this obscure path I have yet to discover. But where it begins is a place called Infernium: an asylum feared by those in Nightshade and untrodden by the angels who’ve forsaken its many lost souls.
Some say it’s the gateway to hell. Others believe it’s where you go when the last flicker of hope dies out. For me, it’s where I’ve damned myself for eternity—my penance for a crime against the heavens and home to the demons that claw at my mind. Yet, not even they stand a chance against my dark angel, Jericho. He fears nothing—except losing me.
The longer I remain trapped, though, the stronger this darkness inside me grows: a duality dividing my heart between love and revenge. Soon, saving me may no longer be an option.

Usually prefer dual narrators but still enjoyed this narration. Keri Lake is one of my favorite authors and one I will always auto buy… )

“You bring new meaning to the word love.” The Nightshade duology concludes perfectly with Infernium; with another perfect balance of horror and sexy to keep your pages turning! New characters (and their arcs) are always exciting — Vaszahgo was a personal favorite. However… —— Possible Character Arc Spoiler • • • However, the character arc of Vespyr fell completely short. The potential this character had to be something of significance was stolen by an obvious need to virtue signal. Mysterious...

I thought this was a very solid ending to the duology. I love both of the books together as a story, but this second one wasn't as impactful as the first. I did really love the way the Infernium was written as a setting. It truly felt like a labyrinth of madness and I actually thought her time in it was almost too short, that's how atmospheric it felt. It is a very long book and feels like a bit of a chore at times, but I powered through every bit because I really wanted to know how it ended. I...
