Publisher's summary

The beautiful young photojournalist, Aileen O’Shannon, is not who she seems. For centuries, she has been a demon hunter, a sorceress who has tracked and killed small bands of demons that occasionally crossed into our world. But that changed when she joined Dr. Jack Oswald’s expedition to study one of hundreds of huge holes that mysteriously appeared overnight in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle.

Instead of small sporadic incursions, hordes of demons now pour from these hell holes like water from a sieve. With bombing little more than a losing game of whack-a-mole, Earth’s armies are unable to destroy the portals. When Jack suggests a desperate plan, he is drafted to join Aileen and a team of other sorcerers and Army Rangers to travel to the demon homeworld. Once there, they will unleash a plague virus and set off a nuclear bomb to destroy the portal complex.

It’s a suicide mission. But Aileen has given Jack’s wife her word to bring him back safely, and the demons have already killed three men under her protection. Just how far will Aileen go to avoid losing another?

Aileen is back!!!

Firesmith tells a magnificent story in Holes 3: To Hell and Back. I've read the first two stories in this series, and I really liked them. I recommend, as I always do, read the entire series, and in order. Then, after the grand reads, listen to each one. It's just something that the words being spoken, the story being told, brings a new dimension to the story. And, starting from the first one, it just makes you enjoy each one, the better. If you've read/listened the other stories, you know Aileen O'Shannon, and she is back for another demon hunting journey. The demons are emerging from the holes in the artic, and it's nothing but more and more holes emerging. It's another action-packed, demon fighting, wonderous story. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible. This book deserves a second read! (and maybe more). This story was intriguing and kept the reader guessing. The author's technique of raw, magnetic characters and great plotlines is a gift. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next, even if you already know by reading it. Hell Holes 3: To Hell and Back is a definite on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more stories by this author.
