Knight's Salvation (Knights of Hell Book 2) Kindle Edition

I thought this book was rather good. I think the female character could have been a little bit stronger. Still, it was a good storyline with interesting characters. I'm sure I will be buying the others as well.

Knight’s Salvation is book two in the Knights of Hell series by Sherilee Gray. I fell in love with the first book in this series, Knight’s Redemption. But as much as I loved it, I knew that I needed to read Zenon’s story and Sherilee thankfully chose his story to tell next. This book broke me apart and put me back together again, all in the span of the couple of days it took me to read this book!

Zenon is different than his brothers, the Knights of Hell. He was Hell born. Zenon was dark, gloomy, rarely spoke. His brothers kept their distance. He never allowed anyone to physically touch him. And he would frequently disappear for days at a time. Zenon has a deep, dark secret that only the angel Silas knows. On the day that his brother, Rocco was going to retrieve a new demi demon, Zenon knew that something was going to happen that day. He was drawn to wherever Rocco was going.

Unlike other new demi demons that the Knights had to bring in, Mia already knew what she was because her older sister was one also. Her sister had thought she could teach Mia everything she needed to know to survive in the world once her powers came into being. But Mia’s power was too strong. She couldn’t control it and she needed help. So she herself called the Knights to retrieve her so that they could train her to take care of herself. But as soon as the two Knights walked in, it was one of them that held her interest and everything else just faded away.

Zenon feels a strange pull towards Mia, a strange protectiveness. Mia is everything good that Zenon can imagine, all rolled into one. But he is broken, cursed. He could never deserve a woman like her. So he uses anger to keep her away from him. Mia sees a beautiful man in Zenon, a man who has obviously suffered immeasurable pain in his past but a man whom she quickly realizes she wants in her future, in any way he’ll allow it.

Mia and Zenon sort of push and pull with each other. Zenon knows he can’t have her but he can’t stand to see anyone else touch her. Mia recognizes that it is Zenon she wants. She sees a beautifully broken man when she looks at him. A man she is quickly realizing that she both wants and needs in her future.

At the same time, there are several unexplained attacks from demons. Someone is controlling them, staying hidden. Someone who is evil.

This book broke my heart. I don’t know if I have felt this much anguish for a character in a long time. But at the same time, I felt so much love and joy for these characters. Watching Zenon transform with Mia’s love was such a beautiful thing. The first time Zenon actually smiled, I felt my heart swell right out of my chest.

I didn’t know it would be possible to love this book even more than I did the first one but I did. Zenon was amazing and I won’t soon forget him. Mia was strong but also so soft. She was willing to fight for her man and fight she did. There are some new elements introduced in this book which I’m sure we’ll get more of in the future. I did miss more on the brother who left the Knights. I’m dying to know what is happening with him. Sherilee manages to surprise and amaze me with every new book she writes. I never know just what I am getting myself in to with each new book and I love it. Thank you again, Sherilee, for captivating me, for breaking my heart and for putting it all back together again. I can’t wait to see what you are going to do next!

[I received a free eBook copy of this title from the author, and have willingly provided an honest review.]

Oh my gosh! These books might very well be the end of me. So much drama, angst and heartache. It was almost more than I could take. As sad as I found the situation Lazarus was in when he met his mate Eve, it was nothing compared to what Zenon had to go through with Mia. These two had SO much to overcome!

Thanks to help from her sister Chaya, and having known beforehand that she is a demi-god, Mia is much more prepared to deal with her new reality as opposed to Eve and others. Still, it is quite an adjustment for her once she reaches the compound, especially because of the attraction she feels toward Zenon, and the slew of mixed signals that she receives from him.

As usual in these types of books, and so far in this series, good (or any!) communication between the two main characters would have solved about 90% of their problems. But then we would have been deprived of all the wonderous glory of this story.

Additionally, once again, neither of our protagonists felt worthy of each other or of any good thing that happened to them. I guess it should be comforting to know that even demon hunters and demi-gods have insecurities just like the rest of us!

Because this was the second book in the series, there was a lot less world-building that needed to be done, just some additional information provided and areas filled in. This seemed to provide more leeway for the actual narrative to occur.

There is one main story about Zenon contained in these pages, involving an entirely new figure (whom I absolutely hate, but in order to avoid spoilers will not name). There are also a couple of other people introduced who provide plot twists that I also do not want to reveal. But suffice it to say that a fascinating one comes to act as a savior for Mia, and the other appears to perhaps be of some signifigance to Chaos. Additionally, there are different subplots involving other people and various situations that are occuring alongside Zenon's main area of focus. Some of these are a continuation from the prior volume, and a few branch out into new territory. I didn't quite follow all of them, but I expect we'll continue to learn more as the series progresses.

It was fun to see characters from the last book again, and I look forward to seeing more of all of them in future installments.

The relationship that develops between Zenon and Mia, despite all the odds stacked against them, is amazing to behold, and I was entirely thrilled that (other than all of the outside drama that is also going on) they were FINALLY able to achieve their happily-ever-after (or at least their happily-for-now).
