Pandora's Box by Gracen Miller

Where does the road to Hell begin?

What happens when your son turns homicidal overnight, killing the family cat before gutting the family dog? Do you cower in fear or fight for your life? Madison Wescott fights against the odds. Distrustful of a God she doesn't believe in, she finds herself face-to-face with a demonic world she didn't know existed and discovers her own soul is darkened with demonic connections.

With good intentions?

Madison had it all…or thought she did. A husband she adored and a son that brought joy to her life. Then one morning her husband kissed her goodbye, headed off to work and disappeared. Life turned upside down, Madison grows desperate and despondent to help her bloodthirsty son after numerous attempts have failed. Only one man dares to challenge the supernatural forces manipulating them.

Or by demonic design?

Phoenix Birmingham breaches her life in a whirlwind of sarcasm and sexual appeal. A hero for the masses—and for her jaded heart—but few will ever know the sacrifices he has made or the sacrifices to come. Discovering her entire life has been influenced by multifaceted paranormal beings, Madison is determined to defeat the apocalyptic blueprint fate has decreed. Even with Phoenix's aid, can destiny be denied? Or will demonic design prevail and they pay the crucial price with their souls?

Shelley's Review:


To say that I LOVED this book would be an understatement. It's written so beautifully with such emotion and intensity that you almost forget it's fiction. Gracen has created a place so dark and delicious, you never want to leave...even when it's scares the HELL out of you. And it will.
I became completely immersed in Madison's world. Such dramatic twists and turns and an amazing cast of characters. All intriguing and charming in their own way. Madison evolves, frighteningly so, in order to save her son, those she's come to love and the world she's vowed to protect along with Nix. Her son Amos, is an amazing creature, you're just not too sure about. But that doesn't change Madison's love for him, or his for her. Their love for each other is fierce and protective. It drives Madison to extremes.
As for Daddy...I had already fallen for Micah in Madison's Life Lessons. After learning of his true nature and many of his dirty deeds, to say I fell out of love with him would be...a LIE! He continues to entice, manipulate and capture my heart (and soul), again and again. What he'll do to keep his family has no limits or earthly bounds. Good or bad. That fact alone, makes him endearing and incredibly sexy. Did I say sexy? HELL yeah! He's easily one of the sexiest  men in fiction. And then some. He does though, have some pretty stiff competition in Nix.
I immediately fell for Phoenix Birmingham. His tough guy exterior and soft, but guarded heart, are easily seen through and his connection with Madison is hard to deny. And though his job requires it, he goes above and beyond for Madison and Amos. The dynamics shared with his family are comforting and entertaining. A strong foundation for someone who spends most of his life on the road, hunting demons.
I don't like to give anything away, so, I wont. But, there are other characters that are striking, surprising and add richness and depth and a little humor to the story. Each has an important part to play on this road to Hell. Gracen weaves her web with innate skill. Her scenes are so well crafted, she'll have you on a non-stop emotional rollercoaster and half scared out of your wits. But you won't want to walk away. You won't be able to. It's all too enthralling.
The ending was unexpected and brilliant. A glimpse into the magical, maniacal inner workings of the mind of Gracen Miller and her Muse. Taunt, taunt and tease. Beautiful, endless torture. I'm more than anxious to get my hands on Hell's Phoenix. The wait is literally killing me.
I can't imagine what Gracen has hidden up her writing sleeve (she's much more twisted than me), but I'll follow her and Madison to Hell to find out.



Kathryn's Review: 
Well, this book is a knock your socks off, blow the roof off the house, so freaking good kind of book!!


I started reading Madison's Life Lessons on Gracen's blog and instantly I was hooked. Then Pandora's Box came out and I eagerly bought it and when I started that first page, it plagued my every thought...
I was so engrossed in what was going to happen to Madison in this book. It is fast paced with lots of action, and STEAMY men!! When I read the blog with Madison's Life Lessons, I originally thought I would like Micah...Well, let me say that my opinion has changed and thank you for introducing me to Nix Birmingham.
I don't want to give spoilers and I am doing everything I can right now just to dance around one of the best damn books I have read in a while...!!!
Gracen Miller has definitely added spice and intrigue in to a genre that can somewhat be monotonous with the same story lines about demons, angels, succubi, and other paranormal creatures. This book grabs you on the first page and never lets go. I got to the last page and it said TO BE CONTINUED and I wanted to scream because of the turmoil I am leaving myself in...UGH!!
Ready for the next one...NOW!!
A DEFINITE MUST READ!!!!!
