Product Description
When a new hellbreed comes calling, playing nice isn't an option. Jill Kismet has no choice but to seek treacherous allies - Perry, the devil she knows, and Melisande Belisa, the cunning Sorrows temptress whose true loyalties are unknown.
Kismet knows Perry and Belisa are likely playing for the same thing--her soul. It's just too bad, because she expects to beat them at their own game. Except their game is vengeance.
Nobody plays vengeance like Kismet. But if the revenge she seeks damns her, her enemies might get her soul after all...

The Usual Mayhem, With an Unpleasant Twist, Oct 27 2010
By Michael Lichter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heaven's Spite (Mass Market Paperback)
Book 5 of Lilith Saintcrow's Jill Kismet series is much like its predecessors, with lots of graphic violence, wry commentary, and mysterious goings-on. The plot unfolds in a familiar fashion, with a house full of nursing student zombies popping up here, a pile of disemboweled bodies showing up there, and a Hellish altar materializing someplace else. All that you really need to know about the plot is that it involves a constant stream of bad stuff that keeps Jill running frantically from battle to battle. Only in the rather bitter end will the pattern behind the chaos become clear.Like the plot, the cast of characters is familiar, including the usual cops, the usual Weres, Sanctuary lady Galina, apprentice Gabriel, and boyfriend Saul -- who, to the sure disappointment of romance fans, spends almost all of his time offstage. Melisande Belisa, killer of Jill's mentor Mikhail, also makes an appearance -- an odd coincidence, given that Jill has just learned something disturbing about Mikhail. Perry, Jill's Hellbreed patron, remains an untrustworthy ally and an unpredictable adversary. Readers who have been hoping to learn more about Perry's motivations will have gotten what they asked for by the time they reach the line "To Be Continued" at the bottom of p. 298. They will also regret not having wished more carefully.
Yes, this book is the first volume of a two-parter, but it ends in a reasonable place. Readers will be much less distressed about being left hanging than they will about the unexpected and unwelcome turn of events that precedes the concluding pages. They will be even more upset about a piece of news buried in the "extras" section of the book: the next volume, titled "Angel Town" and due some time in 2011, will be the *final* entry in the series. This is disappointing not so much because the series has been so good -- it has been just OK -- but because this ending feels forced, like a finale thrown together at the last minute for a TV show that had been plotted out for five seasons but was canceled before the conclusion of its first. I had harbored hopes that this series would develop into something really interesting, but clearly that will not happen. Sigh.

Sucker Punched, Oct 31 2010
By Jessica James "witches familiar" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heaven's Spite (Mass Market Paperback)
This newest entry into the Nightside is right on par with the rest of the series. No Punches were pulled for this one. The ending was a sucker punch and a half and I can't wait for the next and last book. I love that Saintcrow doesn't write her series to drag on into the ages. They end, and they end well. THese aren't fairy tales where everyone goes home happy and content. If that's what you were looking for, move on. this series needs to be appreciated like the finest of wines. Superb

Fast moving entry in series....., Nov 2 2010
By R. Smith "Sistah reads alot...." - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heaven's Spite (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow...this book moved fast and it took you places you weren't sure you wanted to go....I gave it a four because I HATE living in a characters head so much....that made me tired...
But I guess that was the author's intention...
And the ending...wow....I sat and stared at the last line and I was like..."Wha' da' f---"....
I can't wait for the 6th book.
Listmania!
