In Part 1 of author Martha Perez’ short story, ‘Angelica and Darkfire,’ Angelica makes a deal with the King of Hell, and faces the dire consequences for defying the netherworld’s ruler when time is up.

In Part 2, ‘Angel and Sparkfire,’ Angelica’s daughter, Angel, sired by Darkfire, has been sheltered and shielded from the truth until she matures into womanhood.

Let the dance with the devil begin:

Angel sets off on her own to meet Darkfire, the dad she’s never known, and Sparkfire, the brother she longs to become acquainted with. It’s an opportunity for Angel to hone her special powers in the fight against evil and her determination to save her mother and stepdad when the King of Hell holds them captive in his fiery chamber.

The author’s beguiling story writing prowess takes the reader along Angel’s harrowing flight through a sinister forest with all manner of hellish creatures on her tail. There’s plenty of tension and unforeseen plot twists. A romance between Angel and Blade, her hellhound protector, is brewing.

I highly recommend Part 2 of this dark, supernatural fantasy series for its thrilling turn of events, and look forward to seeing how everything plays out in the upcoming ‘Blade’.
