Thank you so much for the ARC and massive apologies for the delay in reviewing.

First of all the cover is STUNNING. Its what drew me in immediately to this book.

The writing style is easy to read and the world building, whilst not complex, does flow nicely in this book.

Throughout the book I really enjoyed the fact that the FMC 'Jinx' is just a complete bada** and doesn't just sit and watch the guys from the sidelines.

Overall this is a good read and it's set up very well for a book 2!

In "Catching Hell" by D. B. Sieders, urban fantasy collides with heart-pounding action as supernatural creatures and human desires intertwine. Sieders crafts a world where danger and passion go hand in hand, and readers are treated to a roller-coaster ride of magic, romance, and unexpected alliances.

Jinx is your typical urban fantasy heroine, snarky, a risk taker, beautiful of course and with an ex she has issues with. This was an okay read but there was nothing to make it stand out from the crowd. While i enjoyed the Jinx and Hannah dynamic, the Ex is just dull and unappealing.

There is nothing wrong with this book, but I have read books that kept me entertained for longer.

I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I liked this. Catching hell is about a company of demon hunters that track and police demons. Their goal is to reduce the havoc caused by demons on earth.Jinx is a demon Hunter. She discovered she was possessed by a demon at the age of five. A little young for a demon possession but Jinx and her demon managed to keep things under control. Jinx lives and works with a myriad of characters some are demons some are demon possessed and some are angels. There is a prophecy which describes an upcoming war between the demons and the celestials. Jinx and her group of warriors are trying to figure out their own roles in helping to stop the prophecy from coming true. Meanwhile there is the relationship between Dominick and Jinx that was thwarted when they were kids but has seemed to be back on track. There are many secrets and trust issues but they look like they will work it out. They have a prophecy to stop first. I liked this but it took me a long time to finish. I fell like the relationship with D was described to the nth degree but the details of how D came to live with Jinx were few and far between. There was a lot of longing and lusting from afar but not much substance to explain the past. A lot takes place when Jinx is knocked out that requires too much explanation. I liked this but there was something missing from the details that made it hard to get into. I liked the characters and the world building. I will probably read the next one because I did like the story. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you to netgalley for allowing me access to these books, thank you to the publisher and the author for giving me access to this eARC.

Apologies for the late review life has been crazy.

Firstly I would like to mention that the front cover of this book is beautiful. The writing style is straight to the point and descriptively beautiful. This was a perfect combination of fantasy, romance, fight scenes and beautiful relationships. Loved the fierce main heroin it was so empowering to read a strong main female lead as usually female leads are passive and modable.

This is an urban fantasy about Jinx McGee, a demon-possessed demon hunter, and her diverse band of friends and colleagues, both demon-possessed humans and varied demons, attempting to put down a demon revolt with the assistance of a demon and her assorted band of friends and colleagues. Jinx is a fierce and charming character with a large heart and a shattered sense of self-worth, and the other characters are well-developed. Although the story's storyline and Jinx's role in her universe follow the traditional reluctant-hero-finding-herself line, the writing is original and the humour entertaining. The novel is a terrific weekend read that will keep you entertained.

Catching Hell gave me very strong new adult Charley Davidson vibes and I'm so not mad at it. I am always on the lookout for new-to-me paranormal series and I'm so glad I snapped this one up.

Jinx has the misfortune of being possessed by a demon but lemons into lemonade and all that she now uses her possessed state to help her very dangerous but lucrative career catching demons. A job gone wrong and a very unexpected blast from the past has her questioning everything. Her demon is acting suspiciously, her boss is possibly an even bigger lying double-crossing brat than she thought he was, and the man she's been looking for for years is now very much in reach. But whispers and more of a potential rebellion have her and her band of fellow demon-possessed associates on a mission playing catch up and hopefully stop armageddon before it starts.

I am always down for a super huge snark fest and Jinx has snark in spades. I loved every second of it! I really enjoyed that Dominic had an almost continuous air of uncertainty about him. In that I mean you were never really quite certain if you could trust him. Maybe that's my own trust issues coming out to play but I was always a little questioning if he was going to double-cross Jinx and possibly the team at any second. ::shrug:: I really like that level of unpredictability when reading mysteries. Maybe I watched too much Scooby-Doo as a kid? IDK.

The secondary characters were a lot of fun, especially the twins. They were awesome.

I am really looking forward to more in the Jinx McGee series.

Catching Hell is a fun, snarky, paranormal mystery with prophesy and a cast of angels and demons who are really not ever telling our heroine Jinx the truth. Jane "Jinx" McGee discovered her inner demon earlier than most, like 10 years earlier at the age of 5. Her demon isn't metaphorical, it's an actual demon living inside her. Being half demon can come with lots of perks, but it also comes with a job. Hunting demons is what Jinx does, that and lie to her family about what she does for work.

During a demon hunt, Jinx finds out that someone in Hell is looking for her and wants her to play on their team. She isn't interested, but it leads her down a path where she discovers who in her life isn't exactly telling her the truth. She juggles the fun, excitement, and fighting that path brings, all while also trying to figure out what is going on with her not so dead boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend, since he's been gone for a decade.

There is a great set-up for the next book, and I can't wait to see what Jinx gets up to next!

Thank you City Owl Press and NetGalley for sending me this book in exchange for my honest review.

The cover, description and mention of Darynda Jones drew me in, the characters, plot and what will happen next, kept me engaged. This could blow Supernatural out of the water. Amazing!

Jinx, since a young age, has been possessed by a demon. Using it to her advantage, Jinx becomes a demon hunter. With something strange happening, Jinx is put in charge of finding the culprit. Along the way, she loses her demon and her childhood best friend shows up.
Opinion
Like any new sci fi book, there was a little bit of lingo to learn for this book. Once I was semi fluent on the lingo, the book became enrapturing. The multitude of twists and turns this book took kept me on my toes. This book certainly met my quota for action and adventure. The mystery behind who did it had me blindsided at the revelation. I look forward to more books in this series.
Many thanks to Net Galley and City Owl Press for providing me with an ARC of this book.

What a fun read! And I am so excited for the next installment. I loved Jinx, she reminded me a bit of an all-time favorite heroine, Charley Davidson. I found myself giggling out loud in much the same way. Like with most beginnings of a series there was a lot of back story and world building, but it was done in an engaging way. I found this hard to put down and will be keeping my eye out for more from Sieders.

Catching Hell by D. B. Sieders, a fun book thats an easy read. A demon catcher that has an inhouse demon working with a demon team.

Thank you to the author, publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to review this ARC with honesty.

The very first page of this snagged me with the character's beautiful sarcasm and witty sense of humor. The premise sound intriguing and I did enjoy this book from the get go. I will say there were times where I struggled a bit because (and I can't believe I'm saying this) there was too much snark and not enough straight facts. Like I was too busy absorbing the jokes that kept coming and sometimes I think it slowed me down with the plot. But! I did like the plot and near the end it began picking up a steadier pace. I hope to see more or the other characters fleshed out a bit (please do the twins!) as the series continues!

Overall, had a good time.

My rating: 3.5 (rounded up to 4)

I stopped this just over halfway through. The begining had a great scene leading us into the book and made me really excited to continue. But as time went on the whole middle of the book felt like a repetitious circle explaining how hot D was and what needed to happen. I didn't see enough forward moment for this book to be as long as it was.

3.5⭐️ rounded up


<i> “Why was it always some teenager who got to save the world? Why not an almost-thirty career woman who worked for clandestine supernatural police forces?”</i>

Jinx McGee is our snarky, badass demon hunting main character who has been possessed by a demon (named Hannah) since childhood. Along with her demonic and demon-possessed coworkers she works to keep the bad demons in hell where they belong. When a rebellion starts up in hell and puts a target on both Jinx and Hannah, it also brings back her very sexy and very demonic, long lost childhood-best-friend Dominic.
This book is full of sass, lovable side characters, and some good old romance. I loved the backstories of all the characters and the world building that was set out in this book. It’s a promising set up for the rest of the series and I’m excited to read more!

I enjoyed being introduced to this author and this new world. It was interesting but not as much as I anticipated I guess. Hopefully it will get better as it goes along and I was just going in with exceptionally high hopes from reading the blurb. Don't let that put you off from reading this one though. It is definitely interesting, a bit sarcastic and keeps the action rolling.

Catching Hell is the first in the Jinx McGee series. Jinx is a demon hunter who just happens to have a demon inside her. She’s snarky (at times too much) and a bada$$ with a quirky cast of characters helping her out. Fun twist with this new PNR series. The storyline was fast paced, but confusing at times. It all makes sense in the end. Enjoyable read with what looks like more to come.

What an interesting and unique start to a new series! I'm no stranger to PNR, so it's always nice to see something completely new.

Jinx is the black sheep of the family. Normal folks might blame her unconventional crash pad with tech savvy nerds, or her fashion taste, but the real reason is that she is demon possessed. She has been possessed ever since she was young, and when she was old enough got pulled in to the world of demon hunting. Having a demon working inside your body makes you specially qualified to hunt down the "bad ones" and make a good living, too. On a normal hunt, though, things take a turn for Jinx.

I have a lot of open questions, but most of them are about D. He's Jinx's possibly, almost boyfriend who grew up in her closet. He's a demon and disappeared on her at a pivotal moment, leaving her alternatively believing he abandoned her or was dead. Surprise - not dead! They have some sizzling chemistry when he reappears, but bring more questions than answers. This story and its extensive cast of characters end up having to face a lot of twisty-turny betrayal and reveals. At the end, while we get to close one chapter, there are several more (books, hopefully!) left for the band of misfits to address. I can't wait to see where this goes!

This book was so much fun! I always love a good urban paranormal romance and this one was top tier!
Jinx and her amazingly eclectic found familie work together as demon hunters. Everything goes according to plan until she runs into her ex, a demon, A dark haired, super tall, muscle-on-muscle demon.

This was my first introduction with this author and I need more asap! Catching Hell is fun, witty and super entertaining, Jinx is just like your favourite fantasy heroine. She's witty, sassy and can kill everyone who deserves it. Her banter with her roomies and her sexy ex only adds to all the fun.

This book pulled me in and entertained me from start to finish. don't mind me if you see me re-reading this until I get the sequel in my hands!

I was provided a complimentary copy trough Netgalley which I voluntarily reviewed.

I love a snarky heroine and that certainly describes Jinx, demon hunter. She was possessed by a demon as a child and is searching for a way to get rid of it so she can have a normal life. But until then she takes her orders from HQ. I enjoyed learning about the world Jinx inhabits and her relationship with her long lost childhood friend, Dominic. Humor, action, and paranormal angst, makes this a great read.
