Publisher's summary

When archaeologist Zoe Miller’s cousin is abducted by a vicious Russian kidnapper, she must come to grips with a haunting secret. Unknown to even her closest friends, Zoe is not entirely human. She is a werewolf and a daughter of the "Fangborn", a hidden race of werewolves, vampires, and oracles.

Zoe’s attempt to rescue her cousin leads her on a quest for artifacts - including Pandora’s Box, an object of world-ending power. With the fate of humanity in the balance, Zoe will be forced to renew family ties and pit her own supernatural abilities against a dark and nefarious foe.

At once captivating, deftly worded, and character-rich, Seven Kinds of Hell expands vampire legend and werewolf noir in both intensity and charismatic bite.

Critic reviews

" Seven Kinds of Hell is a great adventure. Dana Cameron’s supernatural heroes are refreshingly different, and the action is astonishing." ( New York Times best-selling author Charlaine Harris)

"Dana Cameron can pull me into a story like few other writers. Wildly creative, thrilling, and fun, the Fangborn series is one you won’t want to miss!" ( New York Times best-selling author Tess Gerritsen)

Enjoyable start to a new series.

If you could sum up Seven Kinds of Hell in three words, what would they be?

I enjoyed this novel. Zoe Miller is a likable protagonist. The story is fun, light and well done. I loved Cameron's colonial noir short stories and the Emma Fielding series. Paranormal is not my favorite genre but Cameron pulls this off and I liked the archaeology theme.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

No. The pathos in her voice should have been dialed down.

game changer

great story, lots of action, loved it. about to find and buy book 2.

Not for me

I like the premise and the author writes well, its the main character that killed it for me.
She has courage but anxiety that takes away her courage and freezes her up. She is nice but suspicious and even with evidence right in front of her that someone didn’t lie or betray her she doesn’t believe it which makes her either needing constant reassurance or makes her paranoid.
She is thrust into the limelight and needed to beat the bad guys but is so whiny at times and childish that her flaws are equal to her positive attributes which for me isn’t good enough (a pet peeve of mine), positives should be greater than negatives, not equal to. This book was well written but the main chat was not for me.

Action Packed with the perfect amount of Romance

This was a non-stop adventure, with a lot of on the edge of your seat scenes. I enjoyed every minute of this book and look forward to the next one with great anticipation!

good listen

listened while driving Chicago to Newport, RI and it kept me awake! interesting story

Pleasantly surprised

A slightly different spin on shape changers, great story keeps the plot moving and narration is well done, enhancing the story rather than distracting from it.

great

this is a wonderful book. i am looking forward to part 2 which i hope there is

A fill In

The storyline was entertaining but I felt this was told by many other authors. It has the action of Lara Croft in The Tomb Raider and the Story line of the Templar. I was hoping for originality but it fell short. I listened to this narrator before but this time around, she was annoying. I finished the book but I do not see reading another.

Can't wait for the next one!

I'm a huge fan of the Dresden Files and the Iron Druid Chronicles and enjoyed this just as well. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Pulls you in

Plenty of action and is able to make you care about the charactesr. It's the kind of book that makes you want to go on to the next one in the series.
